Sentimental road movie

I just finished watching TEXAS PARIS. The desert that Travis walked through in the first half of the movie is indeed empty and beautiful, but it is so vast that it makes people feel hopeless, lonely and lifeless.
Finally, his younger brother found him, and after escaping again and again, he finally returned to the city to live a normal family life, but I was always scared and nervous about the uncertainty of Travis's departure and wandering at any time.
What touched me the most was that his child was willing to leave his adoptive parents' home and went to his mother with this "incompetent" father without hesitation, and the scene in the ending where his mother recognized him when he met him.
It's just that I don't quite understand why Travis didn't end up with the child's already lover? Is it because of what he said Jane no longer has any feelings for him? So he chose to leave and wander forever on the road?
The constant soundtrack in the movie makes people feel more naked and lonely, and. . . Helpless, and the reasons why Jane left him at that time, I was very touched.

    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.
