It is lucky not to understand, but helpless to understand.

I flipped through the comment section and some movie reviews and found that everyone basically focused on the bottom of the United States. But what I want to say is that this film doesn't really describe the life of the bottom people too much, because the people at the bottom really think about food instead of driving around in an RV. The real theme of this film seems to me to be describing the state of a person's life.

The protagonist fern, who embarked on a RV trip because of the bankruptcy of the company and the death of her husband, seems to have to go on the road because she can't find a job, but in my opinion, I think fern is fully capable of finding a longer-term job work, then rent a house or live with her sister. She chose to live in an RV because she couldn't find purpose in her life — the person she loved most died. She fell into a kind of confusion, so she drove the car to see all over the country. She had no harbor in her heart, so she was a wanderer wherever she went. She wanted to let the natural environment heal herself, but found that it was useless. He never forgot his husband, and never let go of her thoughts. This can be seen from the tenants she knows around her.

The RV organizer (I forgot the name) is because her child died, the big mom (sorry can't remember the name) is because she has cancer, everyone here has gone to embrace the world, but they don't care when they lose the most When things are important, the world has no meaning, and their lives are destined to live only in memories.

Hasn't fern hesitated? Of course, when she was invited to Thanksgiving, she woke up early the next morning and looked at the toys scattered around her, stroking the piano she played at dinner last night, sitting at the dinner table thinking about herself In the end, she still chose to go on the road. She came to the beach and felt the gust of wind. She thought of jumping and escaping from this meaningless world, but she couldn't take it anymore. I will live in memories for the rest of my life", because she can't do anything but memories.

Therefore, the beautiful pictures in the film, such as documentaries, show Fern's true emotions. He is lonely and overwhelmed. In life, he only has to live by, and finally die in silence.

    Places like Empire, small towns created by humans and closed by humans, have become contemporary ruins, such as in the United States, in Japan, and of course in China, such as 404 City and some small mining towns. And "free people" like Fern are very rare in our dynasty. In the dual background of culture and policy, it is difficult for them to hide, and they will be more or less "supported". "Bo has never seen his parents, and we don't have children. If I leave, it will be as if he never existed." Life is meaningless and difficult, and it is a kind of existence to be a existence that has never existed." Rebellion", but there is no turning back for us. Don't sell misery, be miserable in your heart, and enjoy the truth of this life alone. In the end, human beings are inherently good, this is just a damn movie, so what?

    The RV is a ship, and the house is the land. It has been drifting on the sea for a long time and can no longer sleep peacefully on the land. Cultivation on the road, wandering in the world. Not abandoning everything and going on the road, but bringing everything forward, the plates from my father, the photos left by my husband, and the little bit of air in the middle of the rocks in the car to survive. I have seen the splendid scenery of the cliff flying with hundreds of swallows, and I have read the immortal poems with you, even if I live in a world without him, as long as I am on the road, I will not say goodbye.

Nomadland quotes

  • Merle: I worked for corporate America, you know, for 20 years. My friend Bill worked for the same company. And... He had liver failure. A week before he was due to retire, HR called him in hospice and said, you know, let's talk about your retirement. And he died 10 days later, having never been able to take that sailboat that he bought out of his driveway. And he missed out on everything. Then he told me before he died, just don't waste any time, girl. Don't waste any time. So I retired as soon as I could. I didn't want my sailboat to be in the driveway when I died. So... yeah. And it's not. My sailboat is out here in the desert.
