Just watched Nomadland and felt it to be metaphor of everyone alive. We are all going down the road of life, taking different paths, meeting different people, some with family, others with a single passenger, still others with just an animal as a companion or even alone, some driving and others as a passenger, sometimes by choice and sometimes by relinquishing that volition to another, some with a map, others with just a whim, at high speed or Low, careful or reckless, some enjoying the journey and others intentionally wrecking theirs, but always going down the road of life until yours ends.

Dedicated to the love of my life...RIP Jennifer Lynn Reed 12/30/80-07/31/17 See you down the road my darling....

This movie is an art work!

You can only go home in your memory.

One of the best movies I've ever seen.

Best movie I have seen in years ..stayed with me for days.

Thanks for the music, Ludovico Einaudi ❤🧡

This scene is one of most emotional scene in history of cinema because only Fern visited this house every time she comes and the back door of the house is open like only she did when she visited last time. That's why it was open! It reflects her deep love towards her house and her husband which she had been living since she was a teenager. (explained in the movie)

When I saw her crying in the factory, my eyes were bright just like in this scene.

Winner of the Oscars 2021.

Ludovico Einaudi, thank you. 🎵

Totally deserved best actress so glad she won

The film felt like an actual life journey. So many unconcealed emotions and thoughts raced through.

THE BEST PICTURE OF ALL TIME!

And the Oscar for BEST PICTURE went to Nomadland and the Oscar for BEST ACTRESS went to Frances McDormand. 2021

This movie is also an introduction to Einaudi's music

I'm very glad it won what it did at the Oscars...very rarely does the Best Picture go to The best picture, but this year it did. Directing and Lead Performance for sure too; but, I wish it had won for Cinematography. The Academy loves black and white films (and because they are so rare today I understand why...I love black and white films made in an age where they don't need to be black and white because there is always something so interesting going on), but the natural light and scenery in this film made me say out loud in my living, "God, I wish I could have seen this movie on the big screen," and I did not say (or really even think that) while watching Mank.

This movie isn't just about the people who live in vans. It is a movie by someone of my generation who has passed the midlife crisis, who has passed the fiftieth birth day, and is saying, like the Gaugin painting, Who are we and where do we come from, where are we going. What have we left here on earth? Did we amount to a hill of beans, after all that sturm and drang? A little like the Joni Mitchel song, Woodstock. The scene -- i haven't seen the whole movie yet -- evokes those films that show the lines and drawings carved in the Nazca Plain, which also evoke the Psalm that goes, Down by the waters of Babylon, we remember thee, Zion. The people on the Nazca plain who left those drawings and nothing else, did not survive. Whether the oxygen was too low to allow their babies to live, whether the crops were too sparse to feed them and had too little protein and too little iron to allow them to survive, whether the giant mammals trampled and ate all their crops, the people who made the drawings on the Nazca plain were saying, to someone they knew would come looking for them later, too late, and find them gone, "We were here. We couldn't survive here. We remember the Planet with the Roses, the apple trees, the hummingbirds. We died here in this outpost, but we kept our culture and our identity as Humans. We remember our homeland and our identity. Don't forget us!" This movie says the same, not only for the nomads, but for a generation of Americans who were given a false promise, a generation devastated by historical forces we did not control, and did not create. Like the members of Dante Alleghieri's faction in medieval Florence, we were not the ones who caused the conflict and were merely caught up and devastated by it, as it destroyed members of almost every Leadership Family of our generation. Apparently, the "Loyal Opposition" had a list, that they developed some time by around the early nineteen sixties and or seventies, intending to "take back" America for the forces of oppression and hatred. And the list was death.... The Kennedy's were not the only family on the list. A generation of gifted young patriots from leadership families were devastated, as though we were the Seven Lords in the children's story who had been friends of Caspian IX, cut down in droves and systematically killed off by Miraz. (Ask the first Mrs. Biden and Al Gore IIIrd how that worked out, if you don't believe me.) Among my high school and college friends, every talented young democrat was killed or crippled with either a car crash, a poison illness manifesting as any one of several auto-immune diseases, young onset cancer or ALS, or driven to suicide by a hate group, or sent off to war and killed. If they survived those, the rest of their lives were consumed with caring for family members devastated by the same, for example, by the care of an autistic or CP or retarded child. We played by the rules and were dedicated patriots aiming to serve our country with our work--and we were devastated in droves by what must have been a List. (You could prove this with a study, by the way, an epidemiological survey, but it would require the collaboration of college and high school Alumni Offices around the country, to facilitate the mailing out of a survey questionnaire to their former graduates in the relevant time period.) And this movie captures not only the lives of teh nomads, but also our own sense of dislocation and the sense of a false promise. It commemorates our bewilderment that we were lied to, promised freedom and prosperity yet murdered and poisoned and slandered and crippled and car crashed by Hate Groups -- where's the prosperity? Where's the nice home and family? We played by the rules, but we were targeted and killed anyway, not merely the Kennedy's, but an entire generation of gifted loyal Americans dedicated to Service. The movie expresses this without speaking a word about it...only about the nomads. Nice work. Didn't want someone to keep thinking I was 'clueless'. Not that I ever intend to cross paths with such an individual. He did a terrible thing for which he has never taken responsibility.... but he has done several such terrible things, apparently without remorse. That gap, that lack of remorse, makes him akin to characters in That Hideous Strength, like Dick Devine or Weston.... The director, a person who is distinct from the producer or whoever was the driving force behind putting Frances McDormand into the movie, has talent at the level of Lin Manuel Miranda and Saiorse Ronan and several of the members of the Glee cast. Be careful, kids! Stay safe. This was a worthwhile project. When I was a kid I had a record of children's poetry read out loud that I used to like to listen to. This movie evokes a line I remember from one of those poems: " ...There! Did you hear the edge of winter crumble?"

Really good film. My only nitpick is that Fern didn't even hug the storage guy at the end when she was leaving for good, whereas she hugged him so emotionally in the beginning, even though she knew she'd have to return for her belongings at some point. I wonder if that was a tracking error by the filmmakers.

Deserved best picture

I'll never forget the experience of watching this in the movie theatre. The only film I saw in the theatre. In 3021, due to the pandemic. It hit the zeitgeist. The soul of everyone at that time in the World. A beautiful film, with a career-best from Frances McDormand. Chloe Zhao is a pure spirit, full of generosity, empathy, compassion and understanding. The film reflects that.

Terrence Malick Vibes 👌

my understanding about this is finn walked through this house,walked through her pain and left zhe house forever

Nice and sad

The vistas of America are really great. There are moments in the film where I am watching not the character anymore but the vistas.

This last scene reminds me of the last scene of the film Brokeback Mountain. So poignant!

tip to have a good performance worthy of an oscar: do not wear any makeup

Esse filme aonde posso assistir??

Esta pélicula es muy deprimente pero el trabajo de fotografía y la musica de Ludovico Einaudi la hacen muy atractiva. No la senti lenta pero cada escena de Fern mirando al horizonte o perdiendo su mirada entre trivialidades me dejaba más a la expectativa de como terminaría su viaje..

♥

❤

I'd love to have a copy of the music!!

This was a really great movie the ending leaves you wondering an hopeing she made the right decision my name is David an I'm telling you right now she never went back to him 😔

See you donw the road

saturn

Did anyone catch the FARGO reference at the end of this clip? The Slippery When Wet sign?

i really really really hate Einaudi but i will make an exception for this movie

Covid is a bummer enough. This movie looks like you will look for a bridge after viewing it.

The intelligent cabinet focally squash because singer descriptively flood outside a victorious rule. premium, amazing microwave

The worst movie that I've seen in my life
