Paris, Texas, a mysterious and romantic name, is like two meteorites that never meet in the vast stars. It's not Paris, the fashion capital of France, but a barren wasteland in the American southwestern state of Texas. But for the protagonist Chavez, this is the origin of a dream and the return of the soul.
In the film, the love for Jane is the whole of Chavez's life, so when Jane decided to leave, his world completely collapsed, and the raging flames burned them all, erasing those beautiful and painful memories, and even deprived him of his soul.
As a result, Chavez, who was depressed for love, had a human body, but lost his memory and emotions, and could not even communicate with people normally. His heart was idling like a washed disc, only a place called "Paris" in the depths of the desert flashed repeatedly in his mind, the place where his parents first made love and where his life originated. He spent four years walking non-stop, just to return to the origin of his life and find the meaning and value of being a human being.
With the help of his brother Walter, Chavez came to Los Angeles to meet his 8-year-old son Hunter. In this way, in getting along with his family, Chavez gradually resurrected from the paranoid neurotic walking and became a normal person. In order to make up for his lack of affection for his son, Chavez tried his best to please Hunter, and finally got Hunter's forgiveness. When the father and son were walking on both sides of the road, the clouds in the distant sky floated on the green peaks, the clean street was like a winding heart path, and the back of the two were engraved under the afterglow of the setting sun, everything seemed peaceful And beautiful.
And the matter is far from over. In the video tape of the younger brother's house, the love between Chavez and Jane was recorded. Like a drop of dew falling into a pond, two restless souls quickly blended together, spinning, entwining, love Intent reached the boiling point in an instant. Looking at the young face in the picture, a thought flashed in his heart: After so many years, where is she now? how have you been?
So, the father and son decided to find Jane. They bought food and a walkie-talkie and drove from Los Angeles to Texas. Along the way, Hunter and Chavez discussed the galaxy, the universe, and his small body curled up in his father's arms. , dreaming of a family together.
They sit at a bank in Houston, Texas, waiting for Jane, who sends money every month. After that, they experienced the tracking and decision-making like in a thriller, and finally came to a desolate street in Houston. Chavez left Hunter in the car and followed the narrow doorway and dim lights to a porn hotel. All the women in the hotel wear heavy makeup and bare their breasts, they are either charming or enchanting. Chavez walked slowly down the bizarre aisles, trying to find a woman with blond hair and red lips, and it was all over the place. Finally, in the darkened interior, Chavez met Jane on the bright mirror side: she was wearing a backless crimson sweater, her blond hair was flamboyant, and her red lips were sexy and innocent. The couple who reunited after a long absence for four years met in such a situation. Chavez slowly picked up the microphone and told a story about them to Jane who could not see him. The root of this story comes from love, but it is destroyed by love. The older Chavis loves Jane madly, but because of love, he is jealous and suspicious, which eventually leads to the breakup of the two. Chavis runs in the wasteland for four years, while Jane Be a porn actor.
"Two people like this, they love each other. The girl is young, I guess seventeen or eighteen, and the man is much older. He's a wild, wild kind of person, and she's beautiful. They They do a lot of ridiculous things together, and she likes that, even the little things like going to the grocery store can be fun." The film culminates in the last ten minutes of confidence, and years later, when the vicissitudes of life Chavez again Memories and emotions gush out like an open reservoir when we meet Jane.
"The two of them didn't care about anything because all they wanted to do was be with each other, they were inseparable. He loved her more than anything, he couldn't bear to be separated from her during the day at work, so he quit his job just to be at home with her "For the past four years, he has been walking tirelessly in the deserts of Texas. Hunger, heat, and illness have not stopped him. He has abandoned all human senses and emotions, even if It was the reunion with his younger brother and son, and it did not stir up his inner turmoil. But looking at Jane with the same face in the mirror, tears could not help falling from his wrinkled face.
Crying is the most common way for human beings to express their emotions. We can cry because of sadness, cry because of joy, cry because of regret, cry because of empathy. When Chavez left tears, the tears contained the hurt of love. Pain, the joy of reunion, and the remorse of remorse. More importantly, when Chavez shed tears, he has completely recovered his emotions and memories, and recovered his soul as a human being.
The story ends abruptly here, and the ending is slightly sad: Chavez leaves Hunter to Jane, he is alone, under the night wind and street lights, and embarks on a long journey to find the land that belongs to him in his heart. . A person who lost his soul because of love, turned into a walking corpse, was reborn because of love, and embarked on the return journey of his soul. This is the highest praise and praise for love, and it is also a deep warning and admonition to love.
Hemingway said that if you were lucky enough to live in Paris when you were young, she will be with you wherever you go in your life, because Paris is a moving feast. For Chavez, Paris, Texas was the place where his parents first had sex, where he was conceived; it was the place he and Jane bought when they were most in love, full of dreams; it was his jealousy The place of self-redemption after being paranoid and wrong is full of divine meaning. As a result, Paris has become a symbol of life, love and existence. Therefore, whether it is Paris in France or Paris in Texas, it is a place that affirms self-life, self-worth and self-existence.
When the world is so noisy, the distance between people is expanding, and life is becoming more and more lonely, Paris is a place for a lonely soul, and Texas is a dream that I have spent my whole life looking for.
