Why? Why not?

The departure need not be to conquer, nor to prove anything. If someone asks, why? So why not? There is a kind of gain, just as experienced.

The movie gave me an inexplicable sense of steadiness, the deserted yellow sand, the slanting sunset, the simplicity and vicissitudes of the human face, this sense of depression, like a small village that grew up, and the heroine exudes from beginning to end. The stubbornness and sense of loneliness have been deeply experienced by myself who rarely get the company of my parents.

Lonely, from the explorer father opened his mouth to tell the little girl that your mother hanged herself, and the little girl who could have grown up carefree from the fluttering skirt had to leave her dependent father and dog and follow her aunt for life It's time to plant it. I am lonely, but I never stop when I encounter any difficulties, and I refuse any excitement that is not my own. For example, look at the passionate chattering lips, and the calm and independent eyes. .

Most of the movies show the desert scenery in Australia surrounded by the ocean. A few shots are extremely impressive, with rough and mottled faces that have been weathered by wind and sand, and the conservative, simple and sincere smiles of aboriginals, and clumsy movements. Women must obey the rules. Uncle, after panic, he bluntly raised his pistol and shot the wild camel. In the second half of the journey, he may have already wanted to give up. Passing by a residential house, the old couple cooks and entertains, and the woman washes her hair and takes a bath. What you get is as cordial and natural as parents caring about their children. The photographer showed up at the end of the journey and brought a large number of reporters. They were as disproportionate as they were shooting the secret operations of the indigenous people without permission. Can support the straw that can comfort yourself.

In the final shot, the heroine plunged into the ocean and smiled happily. At this moment, she still cares about gains and losses. Experience is gain.

Tracks quotes

  • [last lines]

    Robyn: I'd pared my possessions down to almost nothing. I had a filthy old sarong for hot weather, and a jumper and woolly socks for cold weather. I had something to sleep on, and something to eat and drink out of. And that was all I needed. Like any journey, it's not what you carry, but what you leave behind.

  • Robyn: After completing her 1700 mile journey, Robyn wrote the article that accompanied Rick's photographs for National Geographic magazine. The overwhelming response to the story inspired her to expand it into the international best seller Tracks.
