The place he was in was a desert, and Wenders found such a place in that flowery world to place his protagonist. In the desert, uninhabited, he starts here, he searches, he just wants to end.
Such a beginning is tragic enough, but I didn't expect it to be a very warm story. It started when we found Travis' younger brother Walter. The story we saw was a man who had given up on himself, but someone else never gave up on him, and he also had a little confidence to continue his journey.
So this story is a story about love and warmth.
This movie was famous many years ago, and I thought it was rich and lively. When it comes to finding a wife, there may be two people who can't look back, quarreling and fighting.
No, no, everything is expressed in an almost silent way.
That piece of young land has always been synonymous with noise, but this movie expresses everything with tranquility. The quiet desert, soft-spoken conversations, between brothers, between father and son, between Travis and his sister-in-law, are all so polite and full of warmth, even the reunion with his wife Jane is in one place. In a special scene, in the chat room, Jane couldn't see Travis, but Travis still turned his back to her, and spoke his words and regrets.
This state of very quietness, we call it sanity. When there is an excess of emotion, people change their appearance, and love becomes hate, one step away.
There's a lot of love in this story, and a lot of normal, younger brother Walter, who has been accommodating him and taking care of him until he regains his senses and fulfills all his wayward demands. Son Hunter, from stranger to accepting him, followed him on the road to find his mother. There is also his sister-in-law who always cares about him quietly, and makes him feel at home with a warm smile and kind words.
When we saw him for the first time, we only thought that he was so unlikable, his cold eyes, dull expression, and helpless look on his face, I didn't expect that later, in fact, he had a lot, almost he could be regarded as a happiness people. Except for the knot that he couldn't unravel.
At that time there was excess emotion and love was not normal. In the chat room, he turned his back to Jane and told his past. He was so in love with each other that he was reluctant to leave. He was jealous because of love, so he beat and scolded him. After giving birth to Hunter, Jane just wanted to run away. Not pleasing to the eye, so he tied her. On the cold night, he tied her by the stove and fell asleep by himself. It was all over until a fire. Jane took Hunter away.
This is the most tragic scene of all this warm story, there is no replay of any plot, only a small room, whispering with a microphone, Travis, with tears on his cheeks in the dark. Jane, also began to cry.
It's not even hugging and crying, because it's two small rooms that are opposite but not connected, so their contact is limited to the microphone.
Such a calm and restrained deal with a once intense relationship that they only wanted to destroy.
There is no rational emotion, almost fainting. Burned, only ashes remained. Only to pay homage to the ignorance at that time.
In the silent and silent tears, experience the abrupt end of all the thrilling high notes. Hear thunder in a silent place.
Why did Wenders find it in that lively land, Paris, Texas, romantic place names, no romantic stories, some people face the desolation, the same desolation, and at this time, is it a new life or a new life? destroy?
Because the lover left, and a person wandered in the desert for 5 years. This is a bleak love story. He finally found a lover, but went on his way alone. Between man and desert, he chooses the latter.
Come back, Travis, come back. I wonder if Walter, who had just met him, called him that. Return of the soul. The freedom to be with the desert, the soul gives it. Forgot why you came. Isn't it emotional failure? My parents conceived me here. he said to Walter. He returned to the desert, back to the original. The damage had not happened yet.
Zhang Ailing once said that flowers bloom out of the dust. For a person who likes desolation, solitude, and the fun of the road more than the crowd, there is more than one flower in the desert.
For me, the fun of this movie is finally different from what I imagined many years ago. It is not about cold love, not so enchanting, but about a person's inner journey, always on the road, with never before. There has been quiet. The cool and gentle guitar sound plucked the heartstrings.
