Is this the madness that I can't understand and bear? Tried to read its Chinese translation but gave up after flipping through a few pages. There are always some famous works that I "have no luck". Alcoholic parties and sex, and the endless galloping with the radio in the wilderness, carnivals are used to fill the bottomless ruins and desolations of the heart. I also enjoy listening to the radio or single looping on country roads, even when there are endless straight roads and beautiful but monotonous landscapes. So most of my long road trips have a song that accompanies that memory. The author and the protagonist in the film can see clearly, and that is because of the perspective of a bystander. He has the ability to choose to wait and see or to invest, and he can easily choose between participation and withdrawal. But Dean couldn't figure out whether he wanted to fly forever or settle down. He seems to have a duckweed-like panic about his own past and future. He tried unsuccessfully to settle himself by finding a father and starting a family. Before the end of the film, he just appeared in the streets lonely. At one point I thought this would end with his suicide. There is no way to watch this movie very seriously, and there is no way to pretend to deeply write the mood of that generation. Because I haven't experienced it and haven't done background checks and research. Maybe I didn't realize the deep meaning of the movie, but so what? The perception of reading and watching movies is a very personal thing, getting point or not, that is a problem of an individual.
