wandering

A touch of sadness runs through the film throughout the film, and the
lingering sound of the piano reaches the deepest part of the heart. The
superb narrative technique, combined with the perfect picture and music, make it unforgettable.

The road represents life, and Paris, Texas is the dream.
There is a Paris in everyone's heart.
Once you lose the most precious thing,
the fantasy that does not exist will turn into an unreachable dream,
guiding you to continue on the road of life.

The process of finding Paris is wandering,
but the loneliness in wandering may not be called loneliness,
but like a program, maybe walking is just for walking.

Tavis' experience represents a shattered state of mind, which
director Wenders uses artistic language to express as a figurative picture.
It conveys an indescribable despair and loneliness.
