Vimy Wenders' films have always been praised by film critics, but what really motivated
me to watch this film was Ry
Cooder's OST of the same name that I once listened to at the gate owner-to the complex and warm human nature.

Hunter's parents separated from each other when he was young, and his father, brother and his wife
became real life parents. Four years later, the father who ran away was
found and returned home. From then on, the father and son pursued their lost feelings and
embarked on the highway to Houston together to find out the whereabouts of their wife and mother.

The story of the film is not complicated, but it captures
subtle details in the psychological description of the characters. Two of them are as follows: After the
return of the father, after his spiritual recovery, he wants to be a
person who looks like his father, so he is in the brotherhood. With the help of the nanny, the noble-dressed
father stood outside his son's school, when Hunter and his classmates came
out and looked at each other across the street. His classmate asked, "Who is this?" Hunter
answered hesitantly: "Oh, it's my dad's brother, yes, oh,
no, it's dad, and dad too!" The classmate was surprised: "How do you have
Two fathers, how lucky!"
Another scene in a remote nightclub, the father finally found the mother, through a
single mirror, the mother of the recruiter listened to the story of the father, and wept sadly
, the past suspicion, hurt, And the escape was
instantly disintegrated in the mutual telephone connection and the semi-transparent blurry image.

The desolation of Texas could not stop the warmth of humanity. When the mother and Hunter
hugged in the hotel in the city, the night lights were already outside the window, and the father's
truck drove on the starry night highway again, but this time, no longer. It is an escape,
but a new start.
