The word madness can be seen everywhere in the film
A 7.0 rating puts me off, but Kerouac is good enough for me.
It took me 20 minutes to figure out the characters' names and relationships. The plot was sparse at the beginning, and coupled with my face blindness, I wanted to give up the show. I insisted for a while, thinking that it was just the beginning. However, the whole plot was in a state of disintegration. Apart from the clear timeline, this may be the reason why many people rated it so low. The plot is a journey of sections, without the slightest connection, as if it just said to you "Ah, where are we now". I'm used to seeing it, I'm used to being crazy, I'm used to being lost. This drama is also not easy. The HS scenes have not been deleted, and the missing points are mosaic. Although the plot is broken, you think it has been cut.
After reading it, I had a strong idea to write a review, but I didn't know what I was going to write, and my review could be fragmented. I haven't read the original book, but watched the movie directly. I think this may be a more objective way to evaluate a movie.
Thrall sometimes immerses himself in Beat Generation, and sometimes watches and records like an outsider. I can't even judge their actions with normal logic, it would make me look ridiculous. This is a crazy world, and there is no correct logic to follow.
When Sal traveled alone, he met a woman and got along for a short time. He didn't have much space to describe it, and it didn't seem to affect his life. After all, he is just a life experiencer. These and those are not his life, he is just for Writers who travel around for inspiration. But this woman appeared in his hallucinations when Sal had a high fever with malaria, and this experience may have been important to him as well.
I began to understand why the film is so sparse, after all, this is just a film based on the autobiography of a character, and it cannot be required to be as compact as a novel. Life is a journey, and when you and I are telling it, you probably won't care too much about the structure of the story.
Every time Thrall went to see Dean, Dean was in a different state. For Thrall, Dean's life was always exciting, novel, and always attracted him. I can understand Thrall, who is boring and meaningless by himself, and has to rely on others to be like a living life. It seems that every time Thrall goes to Dean, it is because of inspiration and creation, but it also breaks Dean's original life. I don't know how to rate this kind of friendship. One last time, Dean dropped Thrall, who was lying in bed with malaria, and said, "I'm going back to my life," and put down Thrall's book. After Dean left, Thrall burst into tears. Probably at that time, Dean really wanted to return to his normal life, let go of his father he couldn't find, and the life of wandering with friends.
When I saw Dean again, Thrall's eyes changed, no surprises, no joy. Dean was as warm as ever, his eyes sparkling. Dean asks Thrall to give him a ride, actually wanting to stay with his brother a little longer, but Thrall refuses. That's when I realized how unforgivable that last breakup was for Thrall.
At the beginning of the new year, Thrall, I love you as always. Like every year, Dean would say to Thrall, love you as ever.
Many details of the film are handled very delicately. In a life of madness and intoxication, there will always be people who will leave. If it is a friend, you should accept all this, accept the dullness, accept the enthusiastic participation of others, and accept the silent departure of others.
At the end of the film, Thrall opened the book and found that half of the photos, the former three brothers. Inspiration emerged and started to write this book "On the Road".
Dean is really a good brother, but not a good lover, husband, father. As for Thrall, I don't like him. He lives too tight, awkward, and restrictive. He always asks for his friends. I have never felt that he really cares about others. In my eyes, Dean is much better than him. of.
"Forever young, always with tears in my eyes", I hope I can, and I wish you can.
