The previous generation always looked at the next generation with tinted glasses of beat, but the connotation given by the term Beat Generation is probably not so superficial, and it should have a deeper background of a specific era. As a result, the overall trend of thought and understanding of a certain group is formed, just like the short-term spread of Buddhism in China. The deepest logic of the beat is not confusion and confusion, but decadence and degeneration. These talents are in huge contrast with the young people's enterprising and hard work in the impression, which leads to the feeling of span. Otherwise, it can only be a groaning of grief for the sake of creating new words. Behind the collapse is a complete degeneration and fall, and this is still a large-scale trend of thought. This is precisely the external temptation that young people want to get rid of or find themselves on the road. In a sense, the American youth in this period may be a feedback and relief to the country's previous feeling of great social oppression. . Hence the idea of being on the road. The film itself is quite satisfactory, even nothing new, and even suspect that the road movie directed by Han Han was deeply influenced by this film. To say that this is a revelation of life will definitely fail. Books and movies are more about describing an attitude and state. For young people, such an illusory depiction has a lot of temptation and a sense of yearning.
But in the end, I still know that the other side of the rainbow is actually a shit diaper.
Just like the dialogue in East Evil and West Poison, I have always been yearning for what is on the other side of the mountain, but when I actually climbed over it, I found that it was a bigger mountain.
What is the end of life
If the back of the mountain is still the mountain, you may say that life is repetition or nothingness, and you can look inside and get the world.
But if it is not a mountain or a river over there, and you say that life still has to be on the road, it will be perfect if you climb over and overcome this hurdle.
Kerouac's on the road is actually not finished, and there is no definite answer
What he gives is an ongoing state.
From this perspective, describing a state may be the book's greatest literary value and writing angle.
But this book is the work of the author who has traveled thousands of miles and read countless people. In this sense, he is no longer a pure literary story.
Instead, it has evolved into a spirit, a belief, which itself still implies aggressive exploration. In this sense, being on the road is not proclaiming decadence and characterizing a depraved life. Rather, it inspires young people with a spirit of exploration on the road, which may be the reason why this book can last forever.
Anyway, on the road. Whatever the reason, just hit the road!
I have no home, my spiritual home is on the way!
