The wandering of an American proletarian on the road to freedom

I think the title of the film is on the rough coast, and only Haiyan appeared for about a second. The protagonist played by Coen's wife is the Haiyan.

When watching "Knight", I felt that Director Zhao Ting had found a way to direct. This fragment-propelled narrative method is based on the strong integration of the actor's performance and the stage book, photography, light, and editing. Now it is more efficient, solid, easy to use, impeccable, and more mysterious in "A Place Without Dependence". The rhythm of some commercial films can even be found among them.

It is hard to imagine that Zhao Ting can bring this narrative method to Marvel's set. But Zhao Ting seems very confident, because we can see the elements of "Avengers" in this film. In addition to this, I also fully felt the fascination of "Ice Blood Storm", "2001 Space Odyssey", "Tree of Life" and even "Blade Runner" in this film.

Yes, "Blade Runner", this is my biggest feeling in this film.

How should we define freedom? Is freedom a kind of wealth in life? Is this freedom in the film created by freedom itself, or is it caused by lack of freedom?

The most shocking thing about "Blade Runner" is the ending. Roy's famous quote before his death: "The things I have seen, you humans are absolutely unbelievable. I witnessed the battleship catching fire on the edge of the Orion constellation. I see. With C-rays, shining in the darkness near the gate of Tang Huaise. All these moments will eventually be lost in time. Like tears, disappear in the rain. The moment of death has arrived..."

I have always wondered, after seeing so many wonders of the universe, is the bionic man free or not?

If a bionic person is given a chance, will he choose the freedom to see, or the freedom to continue his life? His last words, is he more proud or helpless?

The superficial view is that everyone certainly hopes to have the freedom to see the wonders, and the freedom not to see them. Everything has a choice. But in fact, everyone has no choice. Everyone is on the road without knowing it, knowing it is a farewell, but stubbornly saying "goodbye on the road."

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.
