The next film on my Oscars watch list was "Nomadland", which I viewed on Hulu.
- The vehicle is named "Vanguard". You've got my attention.
- "I'm a carnivore."
- The first time I would have needed the bucket would have been the day I'd change my mind about this whole lifestyle.
- That was an interesting conversation with her sister, which made me understand more that this was a choice she made. Fern had been offered a place to stay at the beginning of the film, but I thought that her pride was holding her back from taking up the offers.
- "My sailboat is out here in the desert."
- I wanted Fern to end up with Dave, not necessarily in a house, but maybe being nomads together. But I guess she didn't feel the same way he did about her.
- Really cool that they cast real nomads in the film. But wait. Did they think it was a documentary? I mean, it kind of could be one if not for actors like McDormand and Straithern.
- It would have been nice to see this on the big screen to show off the cinematography. The landscapes were beautiful.
- See you down the road.
I found myself thinking more about this film in the days after seeing it. I understand the appeal of the lifestyle to some people, but it's definitely not something I could do. The worst part would be constantly meeting strangers and trying to remember people when I only see them once or twice a year.
ReplyDeleteI had the same thought about wanting to see this in a theatre because it would give a better simulation of her experience. In the after times, if it played in a theatre, I'd go for the experience.
