On the Road [3]

The word wander is used to describe the protagonist Sal's life state is just right, wandering around and knowing where his home is, knowing the size of the world and then knowing his own insignificance, possibilities are not eroded by years but by experience. Although the point of view is above Sal, it makes people feel that Dean's madness and burning youth are set against the background. The threesome reminds me of "The Dreamers", of course, "The Dreamers" is a few classes higher. Walter Salles really can't change his weakness in storytelling, such as "Central Station", "Motorcycle Diaries", this one, too much filming in some places, I just feel repeated, can only say that he always has good chapters But not a masterpiece. In fact, I think the movie starts well, and the protagonist's few lines of dialogue in the car are already intriguing; another example is the scene where Carlo confesses his feelings for Dean to Sal, but the whole set of scenes is really not ok. , and it is not very good to capture the atmosphere of that era. Yeah, does anyone think Dean looks a bit like Chris Evans in some ways.

On the Road quotes

  • Dean Moriarty: Hey Sal... I love you as ever.

  • Sal Paradise: The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars.
