Let Inspiration Soothe Writing, Reivew on On the Road

Four years ago, the father of writer Searle died. In grief, he decided to travel west. So the hitchhikers along the way, the farmers going west for the fall harvest, the cotton-picking women they meet on the bus, the guys at the Mexican gas station who lead them to the brothel and who have marijuana at home, heroin narcotics plus orgies in the bars , Dean's various girlfriends and wives, and even various sex scenes... This together constitutes Purcell's experience and knowledge on the road.
Along the way, no matter it is dim light or the scorching sun, whether someone is having sex next door, or just finished having sex, whether it is a short stop on the roadside or a long-distance train, Searle has never given up writing, he records himself. Instant inspiration, even if I don't have a cigarette paper and pen, I have to pick up the old newspapers that others have used to smoke the leftover cigarette butts and read the old newspapers to write, and then organize them after returning home. Because writing is his true hobby and his career.
From the content of the film, we can see that Searle regards travel as an experience, just an experience. It only leaves us with the memories of the past, and we also draw nutrients and inspiration from it in our daily life, but it cannot have a direct adverse effect on life. After the trip, I, still the same, still have to complete my work and life. For Purcell, it is his writing, and new life.
