I personally like "No Country" and think it has a very rich space for interpretation, so I am willing to write some simple ideas here.
"Nowhere" is about the most essential connection between man and nature, that is, the place to live - the earth. People need a place to stand, be it a fixed house or a moving wheel. For Fern, it seems that there is no land that really belongs to her in the world, and she is constantly walking in changes. Not even her RV ended up being hers.
In this lonely land, the last thing she relied on was her little heart. She respects her inner calling. I hate that kind of Marxist critique that will confuse the mind and cause the danger of vendetta.
Some say that the protagonist has inherited a wandering spirit of the American West. But I don't think it's just America, it belongs to the entire human bloodstream. Therefore, "No Country" is inherently in line with the transmission of the American spirit, that is, political correctness. But it also contains the spirit of the world, a spirit that belongs to the wilderness and the distance, and a spirit that returns to the self.
Fern is always on the road and is unwilling to stop at a fixed house. On the way, she saw a more suitable version of herself. Being on the road doesn't mean you're really alone. It means that on the road, you can meet a group of people who are more appetizing, a group of people who can imagine and communicate together.
Fern and Dave can talk a lot on the road and in the field, but Dave finally abandoned his original ideal, even if the wheel of the RV is broken, so Fern will naturally not stay by his side, but Back on the road.
Fern's deep love for her deceased husband is also partly because he is always on the road. He has a frozen image, and he lives on with a wandering spirit. Together, they build a new world.
Fern's heart is a kind of space exploration, and it is also a question of the meaning of life again and again.
When the music hits, fern is out in the field with a great group of people. They have dreams, they love freedom, they love poetry, they love infinity...
"I feel cramped, I feel cramped, I feel like the day-to-day life is overpowering me. So I'm going to run, I'm going to the fields and deserts, lakes and mountains, I'm going to my instead of wasting time in steel."
What kind of life is worth living? It's just going beyond the ordinary, doing what others can't, and it means love, and it means freedom. Fern has loved, she has lived for love all her life. It means going beyond the confines of the rules and ignoring everything in modern life. It means going out and making the ideal friend. It's hard work, but I'm willing to endure it.
Modern people live very tired, because they have nowhere to run, because they are empty and hopeless, because they are vulgar and unbearable.
And fern is different, she is extremely beautiful, extremely strong, extremely intelligent. She is different from all the others, she is poor, but it has chosen a different path, she is a real hero, and she is finally respected. She said: You must leave a piece of land in your heart at all times, which is about the transcendence of the outside. Because he respects his heart enough, fern sets off again and again.
At the end of the film, it said: "Dedicated to those who can't stop, we will see you on the road." Because the heart will never stand still, and the heart will always face the strangeness and the future. For those who are always on the road, no patch of land underfoot is a long-term solution.
God created human beings, and we began to wander. They just love life, are willing to discover new tastes of life, and are always full of curiosity, so they are not attached and dare to set out again. Because they have always left a pure land in their hearts, they are brave, so they realize themselves, so they live brilliantly.
"Nowhere" will awaken the most primitive impulse in people's hearts, someone is desperately trying to earn a house in the world. But I say, the heart is the hardest and broadest dwelling! Let's see you on the road.
