death of liberalism

1) The film has a duality of feminism and libertarianism, and a sense of humor that is no less and no less throughout.

2) The director didn't use extra ink to show why Mona wanders, and the point of the film is not there, but after watching it, you can't help but be curious. An educated girl who can read English should be her stenographer in an office building. What kind of growing environment and what specific reasons made her choose to wander completely? There are several scenes where she is very nervous to avoid the police when she sees it. Maybe the wife of the student of the sycamore tree disease expert is right?

3) The focus of the film is of course on the strong contrast between Mona and her on the way of wandering. It seems that Mona is the protagonist, but in fact she does not explain any of her actions. It seems that the people she meets on the road are Her foil, but they can learn about their lives from their relationship with Mona and the process of evaluating Mona to the audience in front of the camera. This arrangement is really wonderful.

4) Mona is very kind to children and dogs, she is such a lovely girl.

5) In the last shot, she fell down the steps to her death, and then the words came to my mind - "death of liberalism". The liberalism that Mona pursues is so thorough, not for any purpose or for any other side, except for her, all the other characters are on the side of utilitarianism. Of course, other people can't be blamed, because pure liberalism is bound to die in this society.

    He is weak, but he is above freedom, and sometimes he imagines that this absolute fate will happen to him, or, in many cases, he imagines that if he can choose this absolute fate, he doesn't have to care about anything, and he doesn't have to care about anything. In fact, where is such a journey in self-imposed exile? Obviously a triumph. Maybe I've put a lot of recent feelings on this character, maybe she's going further than I thought, that's out of my reach, there's some kind of fervent hope there. Now, even if it’s a flashback, even if I know that I don’t have such a clone, I still fantasize about it over and over again, where is the end of the world? Don't lie to yourself anymore, lie to yourself again, the end of the world is here.

    4.5 I was pleasantly surprised to find that the last few characters were connected to one area and the story was completely different. This kind of step-by-step skill is really amazing. I don't know if the only person who has really touched such a true love is the silent red-turbaned pruning man with bright eyes.

Vagabond quotes

  • la platonologne Mme Landier: Why did you drop out?

    Mona Bergeron, sans toit ni loi: Champagne on the road's better!

  • les Bergers: She blew in like the wind. No plans, no goals... No wishes, no wants... We suggested things to her. She didn't want to do a thing. Wandering? That's withering. By proving she's useless, she helps a system she rejects. It's not wandering, it's withering.
