Eternal holiday

Such a cold, rough and tranced movie, the dialogue is actually standard American English, which is almost unaccustomed to people.
It seems that such a slow image rhythm should be accompanied by French, German or Danish to make people feel at ease.
Jim Jarmusch did not forget the gradual passing of the golden years of "Crossing a Generation". The themes
that the predecessors struggled and hesitated about are just the hustle and bustle of the jazz age and cannot continue to rampage in the era of increasingly prosperous consumer culture.
Therefore, the music of Charlie Parker in the Jarmusch film It’s just looming that
more often the background music composed of samples of industrial atmosphere and artillery explosions is responsible for filling the lonely picture composition.
Compared with the chaotic and hurried whistling of Bebop music in Kerouac's novels,
the "speed" is stripped away in Jarmusch's film. this content
as the wannabe hero Bird Charlie Parker Chris Parker in the whole film has been in "on the road" state
mental hospital where from the ruins of the birthplace of the mother
from the cinema to the roadside crazy woman singing
and until In the end, the protagonist on the boat that leads to France is just walking.
As he himself said, "I'm a special tourist on a permanent vacation."


This is undoubtedly a dull and pessimistic film.
Jarmusch has used his signature skillfully in this debut.
His long shots and minimalist aesthetics . The foreign cultural conflicts and humorous elements in the later works have not yet appeared here.
Although he has not yet met Wenders at this time, people don’t need to doubt that these two are similar. Mensao male will become a good friend. You



must appreciate the director’s music taste and the long list of famous musicians with whom he has collaborated.
(John Lurie, Tom Waits, Iggy Pop, Jay Hawkins, Neil Young... Let’s count Chalie Parker in this film...)
It’s not enough to explain the problem even though the music in this film is not the most prominent of all the movies.
But in fact, the whole film can even be used as annotated music (and some experimental sound samples), the MTV
director created an intoxicating secret poetry through the combination of audio and video .

This work seems to be regarded as the matrix of those boring films in the future, which
makes people suddenly understand the films such as Li Haunter, Ghost Dog, etc.
Anyway, I completely like this director.
