Is it not wisdom to give up

After watching "Paris, Texas": All the previous preparations are only for the final excitement. This is a movie about searching. Through sibling relationship, father-son relationship, and husband-and-wife relationship, it reveals the big problem of how to maintain family relationships. Four years of endless self-imposed exile, he thought he could forget, or at least no longer suffer. Unexpectedly, the meeting after four years is still unforgettable and cannot be relieved. However, he learned to respect and learn to let go. The figures on both sides of the mirror can overlap, and the conversation on both ends of the phone can shorten the distance, but the pain of the past is still clear, and the emotional rift is difficult to heal. At this moment, he and she, two independent individuals, meet each other, but they don't approach each other anymore. It's not that they can't, they just don't want to. Continue on the road, even if you don't know where it will end. But since letting go can save the past, I believe it can also achieve the future. This is how life is. When attachment becomes a luxury, it is not wisdom to give up!

    "Desert" is the essence of American culture. Even in the artificial desert of the 1980s with neon lights and billboards, there are many mysteries and miracles in the "desert", such as "Paris" in the desert. Wenders will not pay attention to the father-son relationship, if only so, then the submersion in the "highway" vision also loses its meaning, it is a man's self-salvation, through the space and color of separation - emotion: tending to red and slippery to deep powder

    I haven't watched it all the time, thinking it's an obscure literary film, but I didn't expect it to be so pure and sad! Those earth-shattering past events will eventually become just a few words... loneliness is a brand, it is the mark of some people's life...
