This film should be regarded as a travelogue about the male protagonist Searle's travels all the way. I feel that travel is actually not too appropriate. It is more appropriate to use wandering. In the past few years, he traveled to and from New York, Denver, San Francisco and many other cities. During the journey of thousands and tens of thousands of kilometers between the east and west coasts of the entire United States, the companions around me changed and changed, and the destination in front also changed and changed. There were indulgent and happy periods during this period, but most of the journey was Along with the hardships of hunger and cold, financial constraints, etc., along the way, the male protagonist is accompanied by alcohol, cigarettes, marijuana, beautiful girls and sex, as well as never-ending records, recording one person after another around him. Companion; record the way to go, take a car, or drive between each city; record the bits and pieces of life and work in the city where he once settled; record the ups and downs that each city brings to him; record He recorded his own implicit and restrained feelings; recorded the scenery along the way; recorded the stories with his "good brother" Dean Moriarty; wrote down everything along the way in the past few years.
The male protagonist Searle should be very fortunate that he never stopped writing no matter what kind of environment he was in. For anyone, the various experiences in these years will be an asset, even if he is not like the male protagonist. Usually a writer, but the happy laughter and bitter tears flowing from the tip of my pen over the years will bring me memories of looking up at the stars in the future; All wonderful stories must come from life. The more colorful life experience, the more wonderful stories can be bred. The male protagonist traveled back and forth between the east and west coasts for several years. The gatherings and separations from time to time seem to be connected to endless highways like the horizon. All of these have injected nourishment and color into the source of his creations.
And his "good brother" Dean was not so lucky. He envied Searle's literacy and erudition, while Searle yearned for his romantic and unrestrained life. Two young people who admire each other's attitude towards life soon became confidants, and together with a glamorous and rambunctious female partner Mary Lou, the three young men who were obsessed with freedom soon decided to leave life behind. , travel together. They hitchhiked along the way, smoked marijuana, sang as they walked, and meditated while drunk. On the road through the east and west of the United States, let loose, pursue self, and burn youth. However, when everyone felt tired and felt that they should settle down, Dean's wild heart could not be calm. It was not that family, wife, and children failed to become his fetters. The serious lack of responsibility made him repeatedly The moment of abandoning the immediate stability and starting to wander again, even if all partners find their end. The wandering failed to bring him almost nothing, but brought him the indulgence and freedom of heart and sex. When he realized that no one would stray with him forever, there were only tears in his eyes. Light, and a desolate figure in the cold wind.
It is also worth mentioning that there are many actresses who have appeared in this film. Of course, there are quite a few scenes, including Kristen Stewart who played Marylou in the wandering trio. At that time, she was still in the stage of beauty She, it definitely surprised me, although she started to contribute semi-naked shots shortly after the opening, and then she couldn't take it back. It was more and more intense and more and more waves, and she left me the deepest image in the film. It's the breasts that are not rich in capital, and the face that looks extremely sad after being extremely haggard and degenerate. I don't know if I should praise her for not being burdened by idols at all, not hesitate to destroy her image and challenge her acting skills? Or say that she performs in her true colors and is willing to fall. The various news that came out later brought this topical woman's RP problem to the forefront. Uh... I want to say that if it is for the audience who watched the film for this variety of Lu, I am afraid they will be disappointed.
As a nostalgic film with a slightly literary color, the narrative of the entire story is a bit procrastinated, with a length of more than two hours. For works of this type, it is a bit long. Although the whole film has some ups and downs in the plot, it lacks a climax. The process of ending in a color of sadness and nostalgia can only be said to barely survive. It's a waste of time to see how the American literary and artistic youths and donkey friends in the 1950s played, it's not bad.
In America, as the sun goes down, I sit on a crumbling old river pier and look up at the sky above New Jersey. Imagine vast expanses of wilderness, uninterrupted, bulging over the earth, all the way to the west coast. There is no end to the road, people on this endless road, indulge in their reverie, in Iowa, I finally know that the Chang Geng star will hang low in the air, and the dim light will sprinkle on the prairie, and this is only at night. Before it fully came, when night came, covering the earth, blackening the river, wrapping the mountains, hiding the coast, no one, no one can predict who will be in the future, only that we will all grow old miserably, I think Dean Moriarty, I even think of old Dean Moriarty, the father we've never met, I think of Dean Moriarty, I think of Dean Moriarty Arty. Finally, I present this paragraph. The narration of the male protagonist at the end of the film, I miss those days on the road all the time.
