In order to escape the pain of leaving his wife and children, a man chose to escape. He walked alone in the desert of Texas for four years until he fainted and was discovered. His younger brother came to him, but he was reluctant to speak. Maybe he avoided speaking. the way of the world. Paris, Texas is the place where men's parents love each other, and it is also the birthplace of men, so he bought this place and wanted to build a love nest with his wife and children, but his wife and children left him, so he chose to go upstream in this land. go. The first hour of the film was dull and almost made me hold my breath. The plot was almost stagnant, and it was always wandering on the road. After an hour, the plot took a new development. , and finally found her in a pornographic place, where he told his wife his confession and his love, but he was still unable to face her, left his son to his wife, and chose to start anew.
The 8-minute dialogue between a man and his wife is the most moving dialogue in American film history. Interested friends can read the English dialogue at the end of the article. This dialogue is also included in the soundtrack of the film in Paris, Texas. In this dialogue, the tone of the man's voice has always been calm, but in this calm tone, I heard the hottest love in the world, a love that is crazy and destructive, making people jealous and fortunate, jealous of their fanaticism, fortunate I haven't encountered such love, so I can still sit here calmly and write my feelings. Having such love may not be a kind of happiness.
I have always disliked road movies, wandering, wandering, rootless, and the feeling of loneliness is too strong, which makes people feel that life is just like this, people are so separated from each other, and a sense of helplessness arises spontaneously, and it cannot be calmed down for a long time. Never watch road movies again.
Paris, Texas: I Knew These People
I knew these people, these two people…
[Cough]
They were in love with each other. The girl was, very young, about 17 or 18 I guess, and the guy was ... quite a bit older, and he was kinda ragged, and wild, and she was very beautiful, y'know? And together they turned everything into a kind of an adventure and she liked that. Just an ordinary trip down the grocery store was full of adventure. And they were always laughing at stupid things, he liked to make her laugh . And ... they didn't much care for anything else coz all they wanted to do was be with each other. they were always together. And he loved her more than he ever thought possible. He couldn't stand being away from her during the day when he went to work, so he quit, just to home be with her. Then he'd get another job when the money ran out, then he'd quit again.But pretty soon she started to worry.
'Bout what?
Money, I guess. Not having enough. Not knowing when the next cheque was comin' in.
Yep. I know that feelin'.
So, he started to get... torn inside.
How d'you mean?
Well he knew he had to work to support her, but he couldn't stand being away from her either. And the more he was away from her, the crazier he got. Only now he got really crazy. He started imagining all kinds of things.
Like what?
He started thinking that she was seeing other men on the sly. He'd come home from work and accuse her of spending the day with somebody else. He'd yell at her and break things in the trailer.
Trailer ?
Yes. They lived in a trailer home. Anyway, he started to drink real bad, he' and stay out late to test her see if she'd get jealous. He wanted her to get jealous, but she didn't, she just worried about him. But that got him even Madder. He thought if she never got jealous she didn't really care about him. Jealousy was a sign of her love for him
But then one night, one night she told him she was pregnant, she was about 3, 4 months pregnant and he didn't even know. Then suddenly everything changed. He stopped drinking, got a steady job. He was convinced that she loved him now because she was carrying his child. And he was gonna dedicate himself make a home for her. But a funny thing started to happen. He didn't even notice it at first, but she started to change. On the day the baby was born she began to get irritated with everything around her. She got mad at everything. Even the baby seemed to be an injustice to her. He kept trying to make everything all right for her started to buy her things, take her out to dinner once a week. But nothing seemed to satisfy her. For two years he struggled to pull them back together like they were when they first met.But after two years he knew it was never gonna work out. So he hit the bottle again. But this time he got...mean.
This time when he got home late at night she wasn't worried about him, or jealous, she was just... enraged. She accused him of holding her captive by making her have a baby. She told him that she dreamed about escaping that was all she dreamed about escape. She saw herself at night running naked down a highway, running across fields, running down riverbeds, always running. But always when just when she was about to get away, he 'd be there. He' d stop her somehow, he'd just appear and stop her. And when she told him these dreams, he believed them. He knew she had to be stopped, or she'd leave him forever. So he tied a cowbell to her ankle , so he could hear at night if she tried to get out of bed. But she learned how to muffle the bell by stuffing sock into it and inching away out of the bed and into the night.He caught her one night when the sock fell out and he heard her trying to run to the highway. He caught her, dragged her back to the trailer and tied her to the stove with his belt, he just left here there and went back to bed, and listened to her scream, and he listened to his son scream. He surprised at himself because he didn't feel anything any more. All he wanted to do was... sleep. For the first time he wished he were far away. Lost in a deep vast country where nobody knew him, somewhere there was no language, no streets. And he dreamed about this place without knowing its name.and he listened to his son scream. He surprised at himself because he didn't feel anything any more. All he wanted to do was... sleep. For the first time he wished he were far away. Lost in a deep vast country where nobody knew him, somewhere there was no language, no streets. And he dreamed about this place without knowing its name.and he listened to his son scream. He surprised at himself because he didn't feel anything any more. All he wanted to do was... sleep. For the first time he wished he were far away. Lost in a deep vast country where nobody knew him, somewhere there was no language, no streets. And he dreamed about this place without knowing its name.
And when he woke up he was on fire there were blue flames burning the sheets of his bed. He ran through the flames toward the only two people he loved, but they were gone. His arms were burning, and he threw himself outside and rolled on the wet ground, then he ran. He never looked at back the fire - he just ran. He ran until the sun came up, and he couldn't run any further. And when the sun went down, he ran again. For five days he ran like this until every sign of man had disappeared.
