A lonely walk, a sad silence.

Road movies often carry the theme of wandering and wandering, constantly wandering, disappearing and leaving, and everything slowly settles in self-exile. Or, Texas Paris is like this, with the texture of endless alienation and neglect, running silently on the emotional journey. The long road is getting farther and farther in the field of vision. The endless deserts and roads alternated repeatedly, and everything was peaceful and silent. With more doubts, he set off in a panic.

In the scattered music, there is only Travis running around in despair, with blank eyes under the red hood, sloppy clothes, sonorous footsteps, but lonely and silent. I like Wenders' films very much. It is like a lyrical poem that disturbs the beauty and delicateness. In the virtual life, there is often a pilgrimage mood. See Paris, Texas from the Berlin sky. In Travis' eyes, all that was left was panic, returning from the lonely desert to the frightened city, escaping from people's sight several times. He was still not used to it, for example, he began to ask others how to be a good father, picked up Hunter from school, started to chat together, or stood in front of the tall house and looked out at the empty and busy airport in the distance. The emotional return with son Hunter is just the beginning.

Travis left again, with his wife Ann. Travis confided to Ann behind the mirror, which was a re-release of his own emotions. The first silence and the second affectionate speech, in Room 1520 of the Midian Hotel, finally led to Hunter's encounter with Ann. Travis has always stood in the distance, looking at each other through the glass. Accompanied by the shaking music, he went on the road again, disappeared into the dark blue night, and disappeared under the countless neon cities.

Interspersed with the thought of one of the episodes, a hysterical passerby stood on a flyover, roaring at the cars passing by on the highway: even the cursed Mohabe desert, even in the farther Barstow, in Arizona. Every valley, no place is safe, I promise, the safe zone will be completely wiped out, it will be completely wiped out, you are going to a place where you can't come back, to a country that is not there, a place you think is comfortable, Actually there is no comfort there.

This passage is almost the best response to all the lonely, wandering, sad and silent lives.
