Everyone lives in their own world, and everyone always wants to escape from all this.
Whether life is stable and happy, or painful, we often have the idea of derailment...
For most people, getting married, having children, and having a successful career are enough to suppress inner restlessness.
Some people are destined to be wandering all their lives and don’t need houses, families, cars, etc., as long as they keep walking on the road, they can gain inner relative peace.
In fact, no matter which form is good, it is a possibility of life. It is good to be content with reality or drunk in wandering. In the end, we will all understand more that life is lonely.
"I'm born lonely. That's why I wander. Everyone thinks it's crazy, but fortunately, when you are wandering, you will feel that you are not so lonely. Although you are only deceiving yourself and others, it is better to be aware of your loneliness all the time."
Said Parker, the protagonist in Jamusch's Virgo "Long Holiday Manman".
Parker is a young man born in New York. He is a man who spends a long vacation all his life.
For him, life is pieced together by stories, an unpredictable painting.
He travels to and from different places and meets different people, but there is no difference in essence.
Associating with all kinds of people, playing with them and living together, watching their same life, to him, they are just houses, just like those places where he lived.
At the beginning, I was curious about everything in the room.
After a while, the freshness will disappear, and there will be no existence, followed by a sense of fear, a sense of fear that spreads.
In the end, this sense of fear will prompt him to leave and start a new wandering.
Just like us, from unfamiliar to familiar, from familiar to bored, from here to there, from there back to here...but found that everything is no different.
Therefore, some of us choose to live in obedience.
However, some people cannot really accept all this, nor can they change the eternal sense of emptiness. For them, they have to walk on a lonely road.
Perhaps you will meet your true self in the drift of life.
Some people say that in the films of Jamusch: There are always charming smoking women, there are always all kinds of lunatics, there are always people wandering, there are always people dancing, and there is always music~
It seems that in this Virgo, he has everything he needs, and it shows his attitude of "people are alienated, people are born lonely, and life is full of eternal emptiness."
In the empty room, Parker met his girlfriend for a short time, and danced on his own, lonely and beautiful.
Parker was walking down the street and met a mad woman singing and a man playing the saxophone. It was strange and joyful.
Parker talks to a neurotic man who has been traumatized by the battlefield, and listens to the old black man telling the story of the Doppler effect, feeling sad and helpless.
Watching Jamusch's films makes people feel a sense of deja vu. I think this stems from an obsession with freedom.
At the end, Parker bought a ferry ticket to Paris, while the young Parisian men fled to New York, which seemed to be a cycle, indicating that the next long vacation of spiritual wandering would begin in the near future.
The empty shot that came after that was very beautiful: the ship was moving forward, the shot focused on the retreating sea, the white doves were flying in the air, and the bustling New York buildings were moving away...
It's like life continues non-stop, time is also passing quietly...
And we all know that life is so boring, and life is destined to be unsolvable loneliness, but fortunately, the yearning for freedom is always there!
