the meaning of the landscape

This is a story about finding a home with an abandoned girl.

But as a road movie, the film's focus seems to be on the landscape that the characters experience.

Do we forget who we are when we live in the roads, streets, and skyscrapers that have been infinitely replicated by modern capitalism? Everything we see is always engraved in a mold, and it becomes irrelevant to me, no longer important, does it mean that it does not exist, it has become another copy in the infinitely copied landscape Taste?

Alice was lost by her mother, but her memory has her grandmother's house. She doesn't know where it is, she only knows when she sees it.

At this time, all the landscapes of the world suddenly have meaning. Because there is a house that is my own home.

Alice in the Cities quotes

  • Publisher: You've been on the road for four weeks now and all you've got is a bunch of pictures. You were supposed to write something. I could have gotten pictures somewhere else. You were supposed to write about the American landscape. I've already gotten three telexes from the publisher in Munich and I look like an idiot. So what do I do now?

    Philip 'Phil' Winter: I'm not done yet. That's all.

  • Philip 'Phil' Winter: When you drive around America, something happens to you. The images you see change you.
