The title is a quote from Ginsberg. But I think the most powerful ideas of their generation are because of madness.
Let's talk about the film first. Photography and editing are above the level. The story itself is not very suitable for videography because there is no obvious climax. The story is a bit lengthy, but it is qualified to do so. Even if there is only one on the road, it is still fresh in my memory and it is quite brilliant. The director has made road movies before and the feel and rhythm make people feel very comfortable.
The highlight is of course the story itself. A prototype tour of the "Beat Bible". The Beats were told by later generations that their lives were history in themselves.
At the beginning, I was attracted by the song on the road, which was sung in a low voice. It was not like singing, but like telling a story. It summed up the first half of my life in straightforward language and pulled me into the road from New York to Denver. dusty road
And then dean moriaty came on the scene, people like him don't even need to talk, just standing there, a look and a smile are enough to make a lot of people walk with him, even if it's just for a short period of time, a wandering libertine is always charming
mary lou is also a charming character yearning for freedom, fearless, ignoring all social constraints, moral system, such a slutty person, on the road, when she says it's nice to have a home, her eyes are something I've never seen before, and I'm sure it's also something dean has never seen passed
sal himself is an "im always within and without" guy he's not as domineering as dean he's like a recorder involved dean starts his "on the road" days but he does it all himself.
There are a lot of other characters that are equally compelling but dean moriaty is the reason I most want to say the whole book is also the soul of the movie
Dean Moriaty prototype Neal Cassady parents divorced father is an alcoholic he grew up in the chaotic neighborhood of Denver, just like the movie said that he stole 500 cars and hooked countless women and men. He should be the most representative of the beat group, alcoholic, bisexual, dropout and jailed. He has amazing thinking and learning ability. The most outstanding minds of their time were born in madness and destroyed in madness. They will be buried in madness in the future. Eventually died of a drug overdose in Mexico. The role of dean moriaty in the movie is undoubtedly the most exciting. He tells sal about his sexual experience. He walks between two women. . He symbolized their generation, anti-tradition, anti-restraint, doing nothing, smoking marijuana, drinking whiskey, hugging different young girls in underground taverns and hitting the road the next day. Highways and Women's Hotels and Poetry Marijuana and Wine Deserts and Oasis. It ended up in a dilapidated hospital in Mexico, where the lights were slammed against the walls by fans and swayed like they were about to collapse. That was another hasty goodbye by dean, like the many hasty goodbyes in his life, he never looked back, his eyes were wet with tears, he would never fall from his back, and he was firmer than anyone else.
I thought they would never see each other again. Until the streets of New York sal are dignified, stepping on shiny leather shoes and combing oil, he looks like an elite of high society. Dean's haggard face, thin cheeks, cold lips, and thin coat "I will love you forever". He happily told sal that he had a second child, that he had been on the train for five days and so on. He looked at sal with joy and hoped that he would hug him as hard as before, but this time sal's calmness and restraint were frightened. he. They are still rusty. In the year when I was on the road vigorously, I was finally lost in the wind blowing the road. sal didn't forget that he was no longer young after that time. Only dean is still burning, he is always hot, he is always on the road through deserts and oases.
