Nomadland——The decision after the choice is the life you really choose.

a woman,

on the way,

She met a lot of people.

She was helpful and simple. But you can see her embarrassment, she is very poor, her car is broken, and she has no money. She is a little old, not the age to wander.

She worked odd jobs to earn some money and then continued to drift.

She has no plans to stay in one place for a long time.

She said that she used to stay in one place, because her favorite husband died in this place, and she didn't want people to forget him, so she kept their memories together, their home together.

Finally, some accidents forced her to embark on a journey.

On her way, she met many people who shared their stories, exchanged experiences, helped each other, and bartered. Life seems so peaceful, simple and beautiful.

She listened to other people's stories about the beauty she encountered on the journey, the beauty that made her feel worth dying.

In summer, she also jumped into a river, and she also felt very happy and beautiful.

Some colleagues died, and some chose to settle down.

She returned to her relatives several times, and many people hoped that she would stay, but she still chose to wander, choose the distance, and choose the road.

She is not so eager for a home, a roof, she chooses to be on the road.

Choose to be free, choose to be displaced.

She passed through the desert, passed her former home, she passed through the empty home, opened the back door, and there was a beautiful view of the entire desert, the place where she had lived for many years.

She has no children and her husband has no parents.

She felt more at ease on the road.

She walked out the back door of her own house and continued her wandering alone.

Stay home, or go out.

Everyone has their own choices, but she is worried that some people don't have a choice?

She looked at a young man huddled by the side of the road, and she talked to him, wanting him to try another road, and then decide whether she had to be on the road.

She asked what about your family? Where's your girlfriend?

Maybe the decision after the choice is the life you really choose.

    The road and exile films didn't really impress me. Originally, it was quite touching to meet all kinds of people and forget about the water in the rivers and lakes, but in the end it boiled down to remembering and not being able to relate. Probably due to forced rather than choice, returning to the original Amazon warehouse is really a bit depressing. When I watched it, I didn't feel the freedom of exile and rebirth at all. My heart was full of the heroine hearing thunder in the room. The oppression of the sound.

    If there is no money, old age is a tragedy

Nomadland quotes

  • Makenzie: My mom says that you're homeless, is that true?

    Fern: No, I'm not homeless. I'm just house-less. Not the same thing, right?

  • Linda: Before I moved into this squeeze inn, I was out looking for work and putting in applications. 2008, and it was just tough. I got to a really really low point. And I thought about suicide. And I decided I was gonna go buy a bottle of booze, turn on the propane stove, and I was gonna drink that booze until I'm passed out. And if I woke up, I was gonna light a cigarette and I was gonna blow us all up. And I looked at my two sweet little trusting dogs, my Cocker Spaniel and my little Toy Poodle. And I... I just couldn't do that to them. And I thought, well, I can't do that to me either. So I was getting close to 62 and I went online to look at my social security benefits. It said $550. Fern, I have worked my whole life. I've worked since I was 12 years old. Raised two daughters. I couldn't believe it. So I'm online and I find Bob Wells' cheap RV living. I could live in a RV. Travel. And not have to work for the rest of my life.
