No Paris can escape the desert

Looking back on the movie years later, all I can find from memory is that amazingly beautiful face. As for the joy, provocation, heartbreak, and loneliness that this face has performed, I will no longer remember it. This is the value of beauty, she covers everything in life.
In the opening of the film, one-fifth of the space is used to describe the silence. In the distant desert, the camera is still a desert, a more vast desert. The man Davis is walking in. He was so skinny that he was out of shape, walking on with this battered and tortured thinness, and you'd think he was looking for someone somewhere or something worth looking for all the time. However, he finally chose to walk alone. He said, "The more I get used to loneliness, the harder it is for my wounds to heal."
"Paris, Texas" is the loneliness of a bottomless pit. We stand in the hole and sink slowly. The shining fire brings light, warmth, and strength to something called love. Of course, some people make mistakes and have to keep the fire bright. At least Davis did so, so after he was burned, the wound became more and more Difficult to heal.
The first half of the film keeps asking what happened to this taciturn, sluggish man? Obviously, he doesn't look like a normal person. Of course, normal people are just pretending to be normal. In China's big cities, when a man starts a family and starts a business, the huge social pressure and economic pressure make them unable to concentrate on talking about love with women, so in the pressure of withering passion and suffocation , we ushered in the unprecedented ambiguous era and the junior three era, but the result is the same, under the face of the era, human beings can't escape silently moving forward, be it crazy or numb, and then let go of the waves and go back to the desert alone. line of figures. So in the first half of "Paris, Texas", you can use it as a background movie, and the effect is equivalent to the background music, especially the song of the movie soundtrack is very good.
In fact, we have heard a lot about the love that Davis suffered. Because it was too intense, two people who loved each other hated each other. Hate became the proof of love. There is no love without hate. Ashes, even though the Davises still have a 7-year-old son, this family bond hasn't redeemed their pain. They chose to leave together, leaving their son, and then the father left, leaving the son, how the beautiful mother will choose, it is unknown, the movie ends in the twilight, leaving only an empty street.
Even if love is admitted, it may not be able to bear it, because you are swallowed by loneliness like me.

    It is very empty, and I have seen his photography exhibition. It is this tone, which is contemplative, and the characters cannot act rationally and logically. Landscapes and place names are enough for Wenders.

    Wenders' male lead has almost no history, so when [Paris, Texas] Travis starts trying to tell his own past, his clumsiness is hopelessly on-screen. The climax of the film's climax, where the ideal projection and the reality are intertwined, is astonishingly beautiful in scheduling, but we still frown at the ramblings of the two monologues. Both men and women were embarrassedly caught between the present and the past, unable to emit any light.
