well,
not much happens.
shareDid you like it? What would you rate it out of 10? And do you think it will win Oscars?
shareit is very minimalist. it would not shock me if it wins a lot of awards. i thought it has been done before - Wild (2014) and About Schmidt (2002).
shareThis is nothing like AS.
sharepeople who are lost and without purpose.
shareNo, I disagree....these people did have purpose and I don't think they were particularly lost, either....
For many of them, I think they are trying to live a more simple life and actually, a life with MORE meaning...as the saying goes, we only get to go around this ride one time....
she seemed lost to me.
shareIf you have to S*** in a bucket you are lost
share"a life with MORE meaning"?
I live in a house, in a suburb. I even have a white picket fence! My life has just as much meaning as any of those van people.
The movie is alright and shows the hardships of living in a van and the culture around it. The main character is tough and a hard-worker who was dealt a bad hand after husband passed away. It felt raw and represented something closer to a real person's life, however that doesn't necessarily make the movie entertaining. It will probably win awards for being different and highlighting a culture you don't hear a lot about but I would give it 6/10.
Nomadland reminds me of that 12 minute hole digging scene from The Americans with minimal dialogue. The scene like this movie gets the point across about the difficulty of burying a body or living in a van but it doesn't mean it's all that interesting.
I enjoyed Wild significantly more than this film.
