that life, this life

Suddenly I found that I haven't written a movie review for a long time. The pace of life is fast or slow, and there is always a reason to be lazy, but writing down what you think is very different from just thinking about it, especially such an excellent film makes people feel Movies I want to watch again.
The last time I watched Wenders's movie was under the sky in Berlin. It was foggy and foggy. It can be said that I basically didn't understand it, but this time it was very different, but it had a stronger sense of reality. The long road, the endless desert, the rush The car, the old face, saw the director of the writing, the writing, and saw that the audience was also recalling their own past, as if it had happened too?
Brother, father and son, husband and wife, three characters, place of birth, walking constantly, I see that the protagonist is rarely in a static state, some of the simplest relationships in the world, how does he deal with it, he is still so lonely but a little cute , an urchin-like character, when he stands by the child, he still looks at the world like a child, they are like playmates, he changes shoes with his brother, he asks his brother for money and credit cards, he knows the truth about his demands Asking for the only response is silence, like a childish child, connecting these with the theme he pursues, the place where he started, Texas, Paris, the endless pursuit of the long road, the lonely walk in the desert, the persistent look. At an extraordinarily old age, compared to Jane's age, it seems that he is enough to be a father. Jane was only seventeen or eighteen when she gave birth to Hunter, and now she is only about 25 years old, but Travis looks to be fifty years old, but he He doesn't have the maturity of a fifty-year-old at all, naively believes in the place of Paris, Texas, buys the land, pursues it persistently, the dialogue between him and the child, most of the dialogue comes from him and the hunter, and the relationship between him and his younger brother is almost always very different. Short words.
The sad thing about life is that it has already happened, and there is no opportunity to question it, and the long life is waiting for us to trace, where did I come from, is the first question, the film is set in the Texas desert, and it is It is the best footnote, in the middle of now, the thrown picture, we have nowhere to know how to search, but the first picture begins, it is a lonely old figure in the vast desert, isn't this like life, will it? We never know who we meet, we keep walking, who our partner will be, we are destined to separate, and we are destined to meet again.

    8/10. Memories are presented entirely by confiding, starting from the emotional ups and downs within the action, such as Travis walking in the desert from the eagle's point of view in the opening scene, unhurriedly sorting his shoes on the balcony, walking home in a suit and his son along the street etc., it is natural to observe the raw material of the lazy state. It is not difficult to find that Paris, Texas, which only appears in the photo, symbolizes Jane. She has a strong possessiveness towards Jane and hopes that she will always be in his sight. He wanders because he cannot find the happiness he once had with Jane, like crossing a highway. The maniac who spoke ill of the long bridge above was unable to return to the civilized world. When the family watched the video on the sofa, Travis looked back at his son hiding behind the fish tank from the staring screen, and finally buried his head and cried; when he found Jane's job In the building, a huge wall painting of the Statue of Liberty suggests that he wants to give Jane freedom. In the second conversation in the pornography booth, Jane turned off the lamp that expressed her pain, and Travis, who was sitting with her back to the glass, was with Jane at this moment. Examining each other's souls, he watched Jane hug her son's joyful spin like in the video in the parking lot, knowing that in order for Jane to have freedom, he had to leave her and continue to wander.

    Love is like a house on fire and must escape. Two individuals are destined to attract and restrain each other, and only loneliness is the safest. Everything is just mean to be. To be honest, I am even more touched by the first three quarters of the film. I have been pressing and telling it in a closed manner. The premonition and suspense of a good story permeates every picture, every detail, and every sparse guitar sound throughout the story. Emotions are brewing too full. At the end of the climax part of the dialogue was too long, too exhausted, too white, and breathless.
