Originally thought it was another film that reflected the fact that Hillbilly, a citizen of Bai Youshan, was devastated by de-industrialization, but still insisted on his self-esteem, but it turned out that it was not the case at all.

The director has no intention of depicting the current profound social problems in the United States. Sister Cohen’s wandering far away is not so much forced by her life as her own choice. To paraphrase the popular lyrics is "Life must reject the present ambivalence, must embrace poetry and the distance". During the whole wandering process, Coen's wife had the opportunity to quit several times, such as accepting the sister's acceptance, or choosing to live with David's family. However, how can an unruly soul be tainted by the roof and mortgages, only by completely freeing oneself in the clear lake water can they gain absolute freedom. So at the beginning, what was the reason for the closure of the Empire Town mine in Nevada?

In the eyes of the director, this nomadic life undoubtedly comes with filters. All the people on the road are gentle, courteous and courteous. There is absolutely no such thing as sneaking around and getting abducted. It is impossible to eat welfare. White people have their own dignity here, so occasionally horsehair picks up packages in winter, and hamburgers in Wyoming in summer, but they must not be trapped by work. There is definitely no need to worry about medical expenses when you are sick (maybe all employees above 65 can use medicare), and the towing fee for a broken car is definitely not to worry (maybe a sister bought an AAA family member and added her).

In that case, let us relax and follow the director on the road. Relax in the snowy mountains of Nevada, the green grass of Wyoming, the wind-eroded landforms of Badland, the California redwood forest and Highway One. . What I want is not what I portray. After all, the people who are looking through Hamburg with you are all invisible local tyrants with Carmel's invincible sea view mansion.

Nomadland quotes

  • Swankie: I'm gonna be 75 this year. I think I've lived a pretty good life. I've seen some really neat things kayaking all of those places. And... You know, like a moose in the wild. A moose family on the river in Idaho and big white pelicans landed just six feet over my kayak on a lake in Colorado. Or... Come around a bin, was a cliff and find hundreds and hundreds of swallow nests on the wall of the cliff. And the swallows flying all around and reflecting in the water. So it looks like I'm flying with the swallows and they're under me, and over me, and all around me. And little babies are hatching out, and eggshells are falling out of the nest, landing on the water and floating on the water. These little white shells. That was like, it's just so awesome. I felt like I've done enough. My life was complete. If I died right then, at that moment, would be perfectly fine.

  • Fern: Bo never knew his parents, and we never had kids. If I didn't stay, if I left, it would be like he never existed. I couldn't pack up and move on. He loved Empire. He loved his work so much. He loved being there, everybody loved him. So I stayed. Same town, same house. Just like my dad used to say: "What's remembered, lives." I maybe spent too much of my life just remembering, Bob.
