Wendy, an Indiana girl estranged from her family, drives an old Honda Accord with her only companion, Lucy, the big dog, to Alaska because she hears that "people need people over there" , may be able to find a job". But when she got to a small, lifeless city in Oregon, her broken car finally stopped. Lucy's dog food was at the bottom, and with less than $500 worth of bills left in his pocket, Wendy made a silly decision - go to the supermarket to steal dog food. Although she had an innocent face, her guilty eyes made the clerk suspicious. Wendy was sent to the situation by the dead-headed and unsympathetic clerk. It not only took a whole day but also spent 50 oceans Get it out yourself. When I came back, I found that Lucy, who was tied at the door of the supermarket, was gone. While looking for a dog, Wendy had to talk to a car repair shop about repairing the car. In the end, Wendy decided to give up the broken car because it was too expensive. Throughout the process, an old security guard in the parking lot gave Wendy some advice and help from time to time. And the night in the small forest on the outskirts also frightened Wendy. In the end, the stray dog shelter in the small town found Lucy, but Wendy decided to leave her at the family's house and continued to Alaska alone, hoping to make enough money to pick up Lucy.
The movie is simple, quiet, unpretentious, and so real that people forget that this is a movie. The whole image and sound express the feeling of loneliness vividly, the lifeless small town, the empty supermarket, the icy vehicles whizzing by, the cluttered city buildings, Le monde film critic said that the city is "le trou", it's embarrassing Write the second half of the sentence "du cul du monde". The familiar phrase "No address without an address, no job without a job, all is fixed" hits the spot.
There are two things that hit me in the movie, one is the hopeless town, and the other is the state of being on the road. Whenever such a sparsely populated, cold city scene appears on the screen, it makes me feel familiar, and at the same time has a feeling of fear and miss. Every time I walk on the road in such a city or village, there are gray or dark low buildings all over the eyes, the tallest building is often a black, black and gray church, and there may be an alcoholic in a gray autumn jumper walking across the road. God sometimes thinks it's not desolate enough, and it rains again, so I hold an umbrella and keep asking myself, am I in a movie? Sometimes I enjoy the feeling of occupying a piece of the sky by myself, jumping on the road, or looking around without any scruples, the flowers of this house, the grass of that house, this complete silence can completely relax the mind, Like a runaway horse, it goes very far without logic. But this street also seems to remind me that a person is born alone in this world, no matter how much you love your family and friends, people, un individu will always exist as an individual, there is no one like you , so there is no one who understands you 100%, and there is no need to grieve for it. Therefore, walking on a street like this is sometimes fortunate that I am walking there alone, which can make me experience the feeling of absolute loneliness in life. If I have never experienced this feeling, life is incomplete. I think that's why watching Wendy and Lucy, or La Vie Moderne's washed-out films always make me say "wow, that's what it feels like".
Although the movie is not a road movie, it can be regarded as a part of the road movie. After all, Wendy is a person on the road. After abandoning the broken honda, she hopped on a freight train and continued north. I am a person with a road movie complex. Every time I see the protagonists galloping on the road, the scenery on both sides recedes, and there is an endless road ahead, I will be very excited, how I wish to sit in that car The person is me. And every time I get into a car and start a long or short trip, a complex feeling creeps in my heart. So I will miss the small weekend in Belgium, the morning and night journey from Rennes to different towns with Benjamin, and the boulevard on the way to Crozon with Gaelle. Maybe it's because I was too good-looking when I was young, and I still want to live a life of sans foi ni loi when I get older. Sometimes I think it would be nice if I could live like the hippy of the 50s and 60s, maybe I wouldn't drink too much and smoke too high, but I'd enjoy watching other people go crazy too. Be an old hippy on the road, maybe that should be my goal.
Back in the movies, Michelle Williams did a great job. I have always liked her baby face with a bit of bitterness. A little curly black messy short hair is very suitable for her and this role. A pair of dirty knee-length shorts, a pair of sneakers with New Balance soles, a small white cotton vest, a crew-neck T, a plaid shirt, a blue hooded zip-up shirt, a khaki bag, and a bunch of ordinary clothes that couldn't be more ordinary. , so that Michelle Williams, a girl with long hands and feet, can feel comfortable wearing it. I really like to see this girl look without makeup. So curious about her performance of Monroe in My Week With Marilyn. It is said that her current dating object is Marshall in How I met Your Mother, so worthy! ! !
