Merch link in the description :D Now, the question: Nomadland, Minari, or Sound of Metal?

Her name "fern" refers is a metaphor for a plant, where no matter how dry the soil is the plant can still survive. It also symbolizes hope.

This movie impacted me so much, I haven’t felt like this over a movie in YEARS! The pure beauty of it made me cry so much. It was like a cleansing experience. Wonderful, beautiful movie

Nomadland really holds a special place in my heart. It really is a tranquil movie that just made me think about everything in my life. Not many films do that to me these days, if any really.

My partner and I watched this film last night, and while he did not enjoy it as much as I did, I was absolutely blown away by it. As someone who has struggled with feeling like I am a nomad in my own life, this movie hit right to my core, and I especially loved Fern and Swankie. The space that we saw surrounding Fern felt like we were looking at the world from her point of view, in all of its bright and bleak moments. Swankie hit home because of the way she planned to live her life to the fullest until the day she passed, and you could tell the impact this had on Fern because from the moment they part, Fern begins to live life for herself even more. This film is likely one that will stay with me forever, and while I understand the criticism from some, I completely agree that this film is a cinematic poem carefully pieced together to leave a lasting memory in viewers minds.

I watched this awhile back with my family and even though none of my family members enjoyed it and called it rather boring I loved it for certain reasons the whole movie made me feel at ease as if i was just watching a major part of me happening right infornt of my eyes,I didn’t really understood the reason behind what I was experiencing or why I was feeling the way I did,but thanks to your amazing words as usual I was convinced and understood the movie better which led me into discovering a piece of myself too so again I’ll thank you for this amazing explainations💖🙏🏻 the last scene when Fren went back to their old house I started crying and sobbing i value the sense of belonging very much seriously and felt Fren’s pain as she came back to a place she once belonged to which now was gone not physically but rather spiritually Fren’s love was gone with all her sense of belongings I think Fren did not even came back to her“home”but came back to the nostalgia the memories and what was once a place to belong to she came back to remember once again The home for me was a methaphor of a life that once belonged to Fren and now was completely gone and shattered into pieces throughout the whole film she was trying to hold onto those pieces that were left of her so called “home” like the plates and glasses (which she didn’t let go of and even glued them together)or the pics even the little poetry she recited while not belonging to anything(always on the road)and fearing to find “home” again and finally I think at the final scene she kinda accepted that now it was no “home” to return to and maybe it was okey to let go and move on. At least that’s my veiw and it can be very wrong,All and all it was a great movie I haven’t felt like this for awhile it was definitely one of my favs. Hope that no one ever feels the bitter sense of not belonging to anything but their own past and memoirs💖

I used to live in the town where they shot some of the scenes in this film, it really gave a genuine sense of home and the people I grew up with. The shots in specific, captured the rare barren backdrop of the desert.

Very well job with the video. Congrats. I saw Nomadland yesterday and I'm glad i did.

Wow thank you for this video essay. I haven't seen Nomadland but it seems so beautiful and it's themes really resonate with me. It's weird how life presents you with the things that you need at the right time. Thank you for the excellent video, I can't wait to watch the movie now!

I’m always torn when I think about my favorite aspects of your videos: your narration or editing style. The content itself is always insightful and thought provoking, but those two elements really drive it home.

Beautiful take. Really loved this movie, I saw it four times, and you still made me see things I hadn't noticed yet and see it in a new way.

wow, impactful

Thank you for bringing this movie to my attention. And doing such a good job of it too, timing, everything. Nice!

Thank you so much for explaining movies the way you do. You help this smooth brain, who prefers super heroes and explosions, by giving me the tools and perspective to truly appreciate great film making. I left both Minari and Nomadland disappointed because I couldn't understand what made these films so highly acclaimed. Now having watched both your videos on each of these titles I can see what I was missing. I have long way to go in leaving my own comfort zone of Marvel/popcorn action flicks, and I look forward to more of your guidance. (I mean the sunset to dawn thing! It seems so obvious now but I just couldn't comprehend it while I was watching on my own.) Cheers!

Beautiful analysis of how the moments are framed and the philosophy behind it. It felt as heart breaking as the film itself. Thank you!

Definitely to my surprise, I started crying like 15 min into the film DEADASS. don't even remember what scene but the tone and the mood of loneliness, isolation, and hopelessness really resonated with me. Such a beautiful piece of art. Chloe Zao absolutely deserved the Oscar. It felt soooo real. Not even acted, just like a camera put on to normal people. Loved it :)

Finally saw it last night. I loved it. Def gonna check out the book as well. I thought the father was the best this year...but nomadland it is for me

I love your videos. You have such a calming voice.

Just discovered your channel. Awesome videos! Subscribed! Greetings from Texas

This grim tale is like a visual meditation of eternal bereavement. Fern's personal loss and isolation are further reflected in her desolate surroundings -- from the frigid and defunct town of Empire to the barren desert. Filmed using natural lighting, most scenes are dim to dark conveying her hopeless demeanor.

Unfortunately I can't find anywhere to watch the movie, I don't have disney plus, but I do love it just by the way it's portrayed. Every shot I've seen looks beautiful and the short clips of the movie capture a lot of the really touching moments

After I watched this film I watched Chloé Zhao's previous film The Rider and I felt much closer to the characters in that. I will definitely keep my eyes on Chloé, she's a good storyteller.

"How's working at Amazon?" "it's good, great money!" An actual line from this film.

Cinema lovers need to pay more attention to the little gems. Such as Dennis Farina's last movie, "The Last Rites of Joe May".

Mind blowing 💕💕💕💕

제 인생영화이고,ost플레이리스트까지 만들어서 다닐정도로 좋아하는 영화인데 이렇게 자세하게 분석해서 올려준 영상은 처음이여서 광고 스킵도 안하고 봤어요..! 첨부터 끝까지 세밀하게 하나하나 제가봤을때 못느꼈던점,몰랐던점도 알게 되어서 너무 좋았어요!!! 영상 너무 잘보고 갑니다:)

Beautiful observations and thanks for sharing

Can you talk about the films of Jim Jarmusch next please? And possibly 3 Women by Robert Altman

자막본인이 쓰시나요? 너무 잘쓰시는데

I finally saw the film, it felt like poverty porn to me. Having read the book the film is based on which was a pretty grim and cutting portrait of life under the thumb of American capitalism and see that co-opted for a journey of self discovery isn't really what I was expecting. I finished the film feeling like the movie had done what it needed it, it was just fine. As I read about the production and interviews with the director and lead my tastes soured. The film was deliberately defanged of any political implications and refrained from showing any of the hardships of living life as an American without a home, without consistent work, without heal care while nearing what would be considered by many to be retirement age. The pro-Amazon slant was a huge shift from the book where one of the women featured in the book calls Amazon the "largest slave-owner", while in the film "they pay really well". The book Nomadland and McDormand's dream of being a free spirit living on the road are not compatible. It's just dishonest to me.

굿즈 진짜귀여워욤😆

Who else watched the movie just so they could watch this video? 🥺

Off topic but I would for sure be friends with you ,you would definitely have the best conversations

She all picture

Yooooooo 1stttt

What's with the quality and frame rates?

bro can you read me a bedtime story

Movie is pointless.i cant belive we live on age where this movie is so praised.it reminded me of much better and less appreciated movie by david lynch straight story

🥱 This movie is wildly overrated.

Its so thought-provoking like director of Nomadland, Chloe Zhao, made a movie like Eternals. This shows how big industrial companies cages your talent.
