Nowhere to Go (2020)
8.2
2020 / United States / Drama / Zhao Ting / Frances McDormand David Strathairn

I actually don't fully understand Fern, I didn't love someone so hard, and I didn't remember so hard, but at the end of the film, I feel that my soul has been seized. It's like fern stops again and again, Departure, encounter, and departure, there must be farewells in life. Farewells come with pain.

But this film is not depicting the pain of parting and the ordeal of life, it is trying to convey another form of farewell-going on the road and experiencing it.

So, although I still don't fully identify with the homeless people in the film, I am full of respect.

Where will we meet again? Maybe that ta will really appear at some point...

Zhao Ting uses countless montages to connect the experiences of Fern. It's hard to say that during the journey, she healed others, or the accompanying travelers healed her. I would think, it's more about inner strength.

After her husband dies with Empyle's demise, the throbbing fire in Fern goes out (like several other homeless people in the film). But I still sensed that she had a strong heart—as she named her RV—vanguard.

So when I saw the old man who admired Fern and tried to keep him, I knew that Fern would leave.

This peace of mind is my hometown, and Fern's peace of mind is precisely in the journey of encountering, cuddling, and saying goodbye to individuals who have the same soul defect, carefully guarding that most precious memory, and slowly reconciling with it .

Reconciled? It seems that this question is not answered. But when I saw the end of the film, Fern was still walking between the winding snow-capped mountains and the endless road, I just felt the peace of mind, this was a force that hit me, gentle and great.

LET THE MUSIC RING.

Nomadland seems to be a vocabulary created by Zhao Ting, but at this moment I seem to understand a little - mad corresponds to peace. A land with peace, where the heart is, in the wilderness, in the depths of the wanderer's heart.

    Speaking of the bottom, the bottom is the bottom. Who sees you as a poor person? It's so fragmented. Wouldn't it be better to talk about a movie with a story like Kenlodge?

    I give five stars because of my condition. Recently, a lot of confusion about life has been gently presented and answered in the movie. The natural romance of the world, the loneliness of life, and the powerlessness of reality are intertwined, and tears are inexplicable in many moments. I don't know where I should go, I miss the encounters on the road, I am afraid but inevitably yearn for a kind of stability, but I still can't stop. The form and content fit very well, and the sense of fragmentation and flow is very moving. love it. The first thing I did after watching it was to register for the learner's permit test. Before summer comes, I have to get a driver's license!

Nomadland quotes

  • Carol: I see that you have this ring. Are you married?

    Fern: I am, but my husband died.

    Carol: And so...

    Fern: I'm not gonna take that off.

    Carol: That ring is a circle and it never ends. And that means that your love never ends. And you may not be able to take it off, if you tried.

    Fern: I don't think I can.

  • Dave: Hey, find anything?

    Fern: ROCKS!
