This is Wenders' last movie, with bright colors. It seems that the more the old director is in his twilight years, the more he likes to make some bright movies.
The rhythm is slow, but it fits well with the empty western background and the loose frame, at least I don't feel bored at all. The soundtrack is the highlight, whether in the wilderness or in the city, it fits just right lazily.
Although many details have changed scenes, the breath of Wenders is still inadvertently revealed, the wandering crew car, the rocking male singer in the small city bar... still make people think of Berlin under the sky.
The story is very simple. I think Tim Roth's role will greatly promote the plot. In the first half, his appearance is always very strong, but in the end, it is a complete set.
Howard sits on the sofa, the 360-degree shot looks like a MV...
There is a scene I like: Howard said to his girlfriend that he wanted to have a home, and his girlfriend was mad at him in front of a gym with floor-to-ceiling windows. Behind the transparent floor-to-ceiling windows, symbolically, there are two exercisers, Howard and his girlfriend, who are riding a bicycle and the other running.
Sometimes the city is like this, leaving you nowhere to hide, sometimes it is difficult to find a safe place to vent your emotions, and there are onlookers everywhere. But it's just a spectator's eye, because no matter how broken you are in front of the window, the people behind the window just watch and continue their own steps, walking, and pedaling. There are no strangers who really care about you, so please let go...
