You are free, your whole family is free

As soon as the word "freedom" is uttered, it makes people feel heavy and unfree... Just like maybe some people think that if they have money, they can buy whatever they want, or they also think that they are like the two long hairs in the film. The hippie tram guy is free. But in the end someone will tell you that everything is interdependent and communicated, and there is no absolute freedom in this world.

The funny lawyer played by Nicholson said to the tram boys, " They're afraid of you, and you're a symbol of freedom to them. They talk about personal freedom, but it's not the same as freedom of movement." But then Hopper said to Fonda, "We're rich, You can go to Florida to live a "retirement" life!", Fonda kept saying 'we blew it (we blew it)'...

It's actually very simple, you feel free and you are free. But more The important thing is that you should not impose the "freedom" you think on others, thinking that others will be "free". Because everyone should have the right and obligation to pursue the meaning of their own life.
