Until I saw this movie, I never understood my dad. He could never settle down in one place, no matter how nice the house was or the town. He was brilliant and well off, but in later life he lived in a van. After he died I found paperwork from Quartzsite, Arizona, and wondered what in the world was in Quartzsite. My brother and I drove there and stood in a desert - where there was nothing. Now we know he was at the RTR. He was a tumble weed in life and now is a free spirit still traveling down the road.
Awesome story about your Dad. Thanks for sharing.
Beautiful 💓🦋💓
i wish i knew him. -- love from my dog and me, in my van parked today somewhere in the new mexican desert sunshine, overlooking a vast, ancient, black lava flow.
@@nonyabizness.original Say hello to everybody at the “ Slabs” will ya ?
@@frederickmuhlbauer9477 never been, but i hope to wander there one day.
As a van lifer I loved this movie and this documentary about making the film is excellent too. I give a gratefull thank you to Bob Wells and all of the excellent information he so freely shares.
Bob changed my life and this movie reinforced my resolve. Love our community so much.
I watched this on the plane from Tokyo to London, on my way home to bury my son who was killed in a road accident a week ago. This beautiful story gave me strength to pull through. Thank you for telling me it, you made a difference. Bless
I’m sorry for the loss of your beloved son, I look at our son everyday so blessed to have him and his sister, been through a lot of legal problems with him but he’s coming out of the troubles, growing up, becoming a man.You will remember the good times forever you had with him.
Your comment touched me. I have a 19 yr old son whom I love, but won't see me. My condolences to you. Stay safe.
@@lauratohome 💐💐💐♥️♥️♥️
Hugs! I lost my mom to cancer many years ago. You never get over the ones you love but you can heal and love life.
Thank you, Shaun. I'm slowly learning to be ok with never being ok again. Not easy but it's the only way forward. @@shaunhall960
So much more worthwhile than 99% of what Hollywood comes up with.
Yes, but...see my comment w link above
@@Jj-gi2uv Let's also tell the truth about Gates "billions." Had he not stolen his operating system "Windows" from the brilliant Steve Jobs and Apple, he would have had to work for a living like the rest of us.
I'm a 57 year old woman & have spent 5 yrs. on the road & hoping for many happy trails
see you down the road 👍 😀.

I lived in my Class B for three years, traveling America and I met so many people who are the true American spirit.
I also follow Bob’s CheapRVliving and I love it. He was one of the RUclipsrs I found when I was looking for answer. He’s such a beautiful soul. I wish I had found him and this lifestyle earlier. I’ve lived in my car for 2.5 years now and I’ve grown so much: Lost 20 kg, learnt 2 more languages, wrote 10 stories in 6 languages, built a business and can live from it, gave up smoking and learnt to live in the moment. Here and now, wherever I am.
❤
Having lived this way as well as in a static home, I can tell you that the nomadic community is kinder, closer, warmer than any apartment building I've ever resided in. Have lived in a house now for two years and just learned my next door neighbors name - we're more isolated than ever. This film is beautiful. Thanks Chloe, Fran and all who participated.
I don't live in a house, I live in a home, a place alive with 30 years of memories such as my daughter growing up. I have a van I can live in but I would never willingly leave my home unless circumstances force me. Plus, I hate travelling.
I’ve faced similar issue of not learning about my neighbour’s for years. This is not how it is back home in india.. people get to know each other…
I'm about the same age as Frances McDormand. As a child of the sixties, people tending to group together more and relied on each other more. We knew our neighbours, in nearly all the places we lived as we changed location for my dad's job. For thirty years , well into adulthood i could visit my grandparents neighbours families who were all still living there all those years later. The older folks had jobs for life, with wages that mostly kept pace with inflation. None of them lost their homes due to failures of the Economy. None of them lost their homes, fullstop.
that should read ''tended'' as in past tense. The sixties as i and many others experienced them, as kids
You could reach out first and introduce yourself to the neighbors as well.
Constantly moving is a LOT of work. I think I'm too lazy to be a fulltime nomad although I love to travel.
Love this making of Nomadland, seeing the crew again, made my heart soar. They worked long hard days making this movie. The crew was small enough I got to be friends with all of them. Thank you all for a truly great experience.
Thank you for sharing your story with us on the screen! You, Bob and Swankie etc are all so great in the movie that I sometimes forgot you guys are not actors, but I guess that's what makes this film so special, it feels real and authentic!
I listened to the book and became a fan of yours. Thanks for sharing your story, very inspiring indeed.
LUCKY LINDA MAY
Greetings from Kathmandu...I will definitely look for it.. since lock down I will have to wait few more weeks
Linda, I loved you and your character in this film.
My family of five are living on the road. We thought people would give us flack about it but they said it sounds like an adventure. America's landscape really is beautiful. Bob Wells is an absolute legend by the way
Godspeed If you are happy who cares what anybody else thinks anyway
I would love to do the same with my family, ESPECIALLY NOW!
I also feel blessed to have an under 2 seconds cameo in this film, I am just starting the nomad life. 50 years old and travelling the road. Most importantly, want to show my appreciation to all these lovely RUclipsrs that freely motivated me and informed me, preparing myself for this life choice. Thank You!!!
I absolutely loved, loved, loved this movie and all the people involved in it.
Watching this Nomadland brought up a buried memory of when I was in my very early 20s. I lived on a ramshackle float house that had been the first aid shack for a floating logging camp on the wild west coast of British Columbia, Canada. I was five miles out of a remote town that you could only access by water or plane. There was no electricity, no running water, no phone and no money. The only source of heat was a cranky oil stove. When the tide was out you could jump down and dig up butter clams and when the tide was in you could set crab traps for Dungeness crabs. It was a challenging yet beautiful existence.
Great story🌺
Loved his comments “my job is to get the lifeboats out and save as many as I can.” Beautiful
This was one of the most interesting movies I've seen in a long time, having done some traveling myself in van or two myself. It really hit home in a very special way. Many of the older nomads that are out there because the world has changed so much, and I feel that there will be more as time goes on.
This movie makes you really think about your idea of what freedom is.
I loved living in my van and all the help that Bob's website gave me to do so.
My wife and i are making arrangements to go back to this lifestyle again.
I have had many good friends in my 66 years, but I must say, I have had much closer, caring, genuine friendships while living van life. I look forward to seeing this movie.
Conrats on winning Best Picture! Couldn't be more proud of Bob, and our nomad community!
„If you ain't got nothing, you got nothing to lose“ Great movie, great actors, great story.
The film definitely makes us reflect upon our own lives, telling us what capacities we have within us - if we only have the courage to live out those capacities. Truly a "poem on the road".
Well said
true indeed
Nomadland is truly a great story telling of real life situations in America of a forgotten group of real people. My heart aches with both pain and joy for both the misfortune and the strength of these people. I couldn't help but think of the very sharp contrast between these "nomads" and the very wealthy in this country. How these people work so very hard and yet get so very little in return, but nonetheless they display such adaptability and resilience to survive. They may have just the bare minimum for human survival in this modern world and the wealthiest country in the world. but one thing that they have is way above everything that the wealthiest population in this country and in the world could ever dream of. It is "SATISFACTION:. They don't need billions or millions of $$$ but simply just what they need to feel satisfied. They don't need power to feel that they are in control. They don't need to impress other people to feel worthwhile. They don't need to step over other people to feel they are special. They don't need to remind people they are human beings. They are the perfect epitome that contention is the greatest accomplishment in life!
I lived that lifestyle for 12 years in the 90s through early 00's. From Alaska to Kentucky. It was wonderful as a healthy kid. I use a wheelchair now and need quiet stability. But all of this is very true. I love the culture. The kind spirits out west.
i know nomads who live out here on the road with canrs, walkers, and/or mobility scooters. it takes more time to do things, but we are rich in time.
i've watched people grow physically and mentally healthier living this simple, outdoors, supremely more stressfree way of life.
*this comment is not for crystal, who is doing what works for her, but to everyone out there who wants this lifestyle but thinks that they just can't. you can.
Wonderful. So glad the academy went with something fresh and new to most people. Thank you Academy Awards. Thank you to all the nomads who helped this happen. Thank you Bob Wells.
Brilliant.
Thank you Bob Wells He gets the recognition that he deserves
This movie is about deep grief and quiet hope. It is my personal favorite in five years. I obsessively watched it five times, and will definitely watch it again on the big screen in the cinema.
Well deserved Oscar! 🙌 Bravo
Love any movie Frances is in
I’m a full time solo nomad due to unforeseen circumstances and I LOVED this movie! Especially because I had also spent time travelling in my trailer to all the places Fern went to in my previous travels around America. I thought it was a really great depiction of the ups and downs of nomad life. Congrats to all involved in the making of this great movie! See you down the road! 😘
Bob was fantastic in this scene! Wow! Just so powerful...
Frances McDormand is a legend...she won 3 Three Best Actress Oscar Statuette .......Congratulations......in tied with Daniel Day Lewis in 3 Oscar Best Actor.....Remarkable achievement.......
Not only the three Acting Oscars, but a fourth one as she was one of the producers.
Cinematography in this movie wasn't only one of last year's best, it is one of the best I've ever seen. Absolutely stunning, and super grounded and organic.
'THE LAND OF THE FREE. -- BECAUSE OF THE BRAVE". Marvellous!
This is a movie that will stay with me for a long time, I love how the characters swam above the undercurrents of homelessness and depression to carve out a life of freedom, independence, gratitude and being fully human. Is this the new American Dream?
It will be, especially for the younger generation - unless we can rebuild America back - fast!
@@AmericanTeacher-USA Rebuild what ? The middle class family I grew up in is gone. Rebuild to either be part of the working poor / lower blue collar one can't buy a house & raise a family on that. Either a white-collar or owning your own biz or in sales where 1 can write their own paycheck to a degree.
I see it nowadays as a single person making
60K - 100K + / A couple has to be making the same EACH & splitting expenses & that's w/o
having a child.
@@Jj-gi2uv Unfortunately there are many Americans who are in denial that we live in a rigged economy and sadly they will continue to spin their wheels and feed the machine that enables the rich to get richer. There will be a growing segment of our population who will simply give up on working which will force our government to dole out monthly checks as Andrew Yang proposed. Yes, throw the slackers a bone so they will remain content with their Netflix and Ramen noodles while the rich can live safely and sleep peacefully at night in their gated communities.
It’s an american dream for me
The Oligarchs have won.
It was so fun to be an extra in this movie and now to see it getting all the accolades it deserves. It's a brilliantly told story of one woman's experience.
Hey Carolyn! I saw you! 👏👏👏💐💐💐❤️🇬🇧
Can't wait to watch it.
Did it show you e- begging?
She's at it again ME, ME, ME, I, I ,I , enough already
Wash that dirty hair please
Ive been a nomad all my life, been all over the world, born in Scotland, left there at 17 years old in 1966, and now live for years in SE Asia at 73 years young.
I live on about US$500 a month, housing, food, tropical climate, I have a nice wee 110cc motorbike, and a lovely wee studio Apartment, in a lovely country with lovely people in an ancient culture.
Awesome Andrew, just awesome.
Sounds like an adventure
My only comment that might be taken wrong is that Too bad that Fern could not have looked more happy. All these people say how amazing it is to live this life yet every scene she looks like her child has just died. The movie did not being me joy or desire to want to do this, Even though I have already decided this will be my future. It brought heaviness to my heart..her face, her character, the way it was filmed, the darkness, the despair . FYI Just how it made me feel...and I know others will see it differently. A friend sent me a text said I should watch it, which I already had...I said yeah it was very sad, and she said it was happy too. So we all look at things in a different light. I wish everyone out there the best and perhaps one day I can join you, once the borders re open..Canadian winters are not desirable!
Fern was mourning the loss of her husband as well as adjusting to a nomadic life that she hadn’t planned on. I think Francis nailed the performance perfectly. Life is full of every emotion and the movie gave me the sense that the Fern character was slowly coming into feelings of happiness again.
We have no idea what the people in the film have been through. Life has been difficult for some people who are now Nomads. Even though they come and go as they like and see a beautiful country there are some Nomads that have to worry about the high costs of food and fuel, have lost jobs, maybe lost family members, or are just trying to survive.
@susanstillwell6305 Frances was acting... that is how she saw the character. There are other people who live the Nomad Life in the movie.
Now people can see why native Americans loved living the old way, carry only what you need want for nothing and share what you have, love, live and be happy.
This film takes a bit of fear out of my life.
This film is amazing.
The entire crew and cast are amazing.
Chloe is amazing.
Frances is amazing.
Joshua is amazing
Even this behind the scene video is amazing. My gosh. I can’t love this whole thing enough. ❤️❤️🍀
Twice, I have briefly been to Quartzite, Arizona, and both times off of prime season. In my very limited exposure, I find it is a combination of interesting and bizarre - nomads and wealthy 'snowbirds', along with seasonally alternating sparse/dense populations. One of the more bizarre statistics is the VAST seasonal fluctuation of people living there. In prime season (roughly November through mid April), the population can reportedly swell to around 700,000. Yet in the heat of Summer, the number of residents drops more than two hundredfold to ~3,000. There are 5 lane roads that are jammed bumper to bumper, yet lie virtually abandoned later on. Restaurants and stores which are packed for months, yet close annually for ~6 months for lack of customers. It is eerie to think of an entire town's population just leaving, only to return ~6 months later.
A minority are nomadic. But from what I saw, most are proverbial 'snowbirds' who either have an inexpensive mobile home there as a second home in order to get away from colder climates, or have pretty expensive motor homes, and fifth wheels, and pay for an RV spot which has water, power, sewer, and possibly internet hookups, show no sign of financial privation, and also likely have a home elsewhere.
True nomads, as portrayed in this film, are very unlikely to confine themselves to the tightly packed RV parks with expensive RV hookups. Nomads will live on the outskirts of Quartzite if/when they elect to visit Quartzite because the BLM land surrounding Quartzite (Bureau of Land Management) is extensive, mostly free to camp on and mostly free of RV improvements/hookups for vehicles.
Best movie ever! So real, so true and so beautiful-fellow nomad.
A lot of people are shocked at this lifestyle but many people do this willingly, especially young people. There's an indie film called The Meaning of Van Life which details young people doing this in Australia. There is another movie called Minimalism which questions the American dream notion of materialism and how we work at jobs we don't it even like and go into debt and buy things we don't even want in order to keep up with the Joneses. Material things will not make you happy! Relationships and human connections, enjoying things that cannot be bought, is what life is all about. Now, I don't buy hardly anything and I'm saving up all of my money and figuring out ways to get rid of everything that I don't want or use or need.
It saves the environment, by reducing landfields. In addition, avoiding wood consumption diminish demand and logging in The Amazon and Gabon. It is a pity to see Brazilian wood flooring...it decimates The Amazons.
Nice..This was very nice to see.
The General identity of a Nomad should never be sought as Sympathetic. Its only Natural that the self reliance of the Human condition cannot be caged no matter what reasons people end up as Nomads. This Condition goes as far back as Pioneers. People in General want an Identity. A strong Prosperous Country needs Nomads. They are a hidden strength that of the Pioneering Nomad is as important as a Trucker, oil Rigger, Carpenter.etc etc...Most people with Normal lives don't realize how they are supported by Nomads in industrious abd or Farm environments behind the scenes. Kuddos to Expediting, Truckers , Nomads, or just Traveling Saleman. Thankyou..You all play a role in our American Way Of Life.
Just watched in Hongkong today, speechless. Great movie that shows true humanity and prime values with great details, congratulations!
First movie to ever make me cry. These people are beyond strong. I never wouldve think about how easy i have it right now. Amazing piece of art. Cant wait to explore America in the future.
I always love this type of storytelling where every person either caste or a crew is very integral part of the making. Commitment from every every person from every department, make this film a masterpiece. cheers to Nomadland team and cheers to Film Making..
@@janetownley I think you and I have something in common.....we’re both really sick and tired of people not being able to spell even simple words correctly or use correct grammar. I mean, WTH happened to education in America?!? Really a sad situation
Having spent considerable time around kids in China, this life is nearly every Chinese student's dream. To focus with the time for yourself. I think it is no accident that Chloe would relate so intensely with this life.
Kudos to Frances McDormand for putting the life style and challenges on the map. For some, being nomadic or desert life is by choice. For others, it's due to life-altering circumstances. McDormand enhanced the lives of Chloe, locals and many more. A journey of enlightenment, reflection, sadness, uncertainty and discovery.
Life journeys is about choice, There is no right or wrong but Fear Or Brave....
It’s always good to agree with the Acadamy awards for choosing this film as it’s best film...
the ending of this movie left me empty, I feel those moments of stillness... taking on the road, life feels surreal.
I was a Nomad for 10 years. Awesome Movie! I can hardly wait for Nomadland II. My brothers and I might go hang out with Bob at Quartzite this fall. We need Bob to help with a replacement Van for one of the brothers who is still a Nomad - 15 years
I have seen this picture without seeing it!!! Understand??? I follow a few of these nomads on uTube!!! Cheers to them all!!!!
I do understand but the movie is worth seeing, a very good movie.
I was looking for Ausia and Moo Moo and Teri and Scotty. Too old to be a Nomad myself but I enjoy riding along with them and have a few favorites, Nomadic Fanatic and CamperVan Kevin and his three little Yorkies.
It is an excellent movie!!
wow so emotional right now. I sooo need and want to see this movie. My dad always says see you down the road. I cant wait fot it to come to dvd. Be my fist dvd purchases in a long time.
It is on hulu if you can access it. It was everything you are thinking...magical, sad, hopeful. A treasure. I will be rewatching and living this way in a few years. I want to be done with suburbia and slaving away for soulless companies.
It reminds me of "The Grapes of Wrath." Never thought there would be another like that one.. .
When you try to get a cup of coffee at an arco gas station and you get treat it as "rude" by security guard you try not to became wrath more visible for so many things hitting you at once, I still find heal in hope in see a gooooooood movie as this looks just from seen bit of it. 👍👍👍✨. Is not what I plan but shit happens and rude is the modest word to a place in this place.

I was always fascinated by the tumbleweeds blowing across the Prairie when I was a boy and wondering where it came from and where it was going. It’s kind of like a nomad, and when I was 12 or 13 I saw my first hobos on trains and It made me think of the tumbleweeds.
Nothing beats living this kind of lifestyle
Fascinating watching this from an Australian free spirit/van dweller perspective... Bob Well's is someone I choose to admire big time, an absolute inspiration and motivation to so many people doing it tough... Here in Australia, thankfully things are not as fucked up as the USA... The minimum wage, despite the conservative "Republican wannabe" Morrison federal government, is still livable and the health and social security safety net, has not been as of yet totally dismantled... Tax payer funded corporate welfare is apparently justifiable, "but to hell with the peasants", who the current federal government "creatures", forget also happen to vote... Sincere best wishes to everyone out there, from an Australian former idealist...
thankyou, thankyou so much for uploading this extended tracking of how the movie was made. I would have loved to see it at the cinema, somehow i missed it...the big screen would give it even more emotional power. Frances and Chloe, you rock (and of course, the lady who wrote the book)
You better ask yourself if you could live life without a home someday cause it can happen. I've been homeless not once but three times and i learned from it. The rich may enact laws, and buy land, and push people around, but the poor will connect and make friends, and allies, and they will unite to survive whatever's coming.
Watch out rich people, you can hide behind locked gates and isolate on islands but you can't live without oxygen or water. You're just like us.
Just watched the Jessica Bruder interview (where comments are now turned off, wtf) OMG, I love this woman. She's erudite, sensitive, intelligent, well informed, empathetic, and gracious. can't wait to see the movie.
I agree, hers is the kind of voice I want hear. I also wondered why comments were turned off.
You forgot that she is also pretty :-)
I've always been facinated by this type of life. These people seem truly free and most of them seem happy regardless of their situation. I think a life like this forces you to focus on simplicity and teaches you how to be a decent human being. I'm only 38 but I hope that one day soon I can experience this life on personally. Life is meant to be lived and enjoyed.
Congrats on winning the Academy Award for Best Picture. Well deserved. I have a friend who lives on a sailboat in the Gulf of Mexico, does the same thing. Comes home to Canada to work part of the year, then goes to his boat the other half of the year. Very inexpensive, freedom lifestyle. These people have just had enough of the slave-to-the-grind consumer lifestyle.
Such an amazing movie and people💞 Love Frances, so happy she won!!
This film looks incredible. I am very much looking forward to seeing it.
I haven’t been to the movies in years. I haven’t bought a dvd in years.
This amazing film is on my list to own. What an amazing film about the human spirit.
Same here and Anthony Hopkins “ the father” as well
We loved the movie. We've been full time Nomads since 2015 and from our experiences this is a very accurate movie. The popular conception that we are all 20 something and living off a trust fund is just advertising to get that demographic to buy a new van.
At the moment, we’ll, the last three years, I have been stationary yet living in my horse trailer. I talk about the nomadic lifestyle as often as I can to anyone who will listen and am surprised when over time, at the laundromat or grocery store, someone will recognize me and ask if I am still living in my trailer or say, you are the nomad lady! I live in central Texas and feel like a celebrity!
Do you have ponies?
@@LilyGazou three but they are aged
Wonderful way to connect , explore, travel & working your way when need. Take care of each other & I just retired back to Vancouver Island. So this is very interesting ideas for my road trip I'm planning. Keep on camping and trucking.
This film was unforgettable and makes you examine your own life and relationships.
Best movie of 2020
Probably not just 2020. Best movie in a really long time...
Congratulations on winning the Oscars ..Fern, loved how you can share a new world and capture life as it is...
I just watched the trailer. I must see this movie. I have a feeling after reading comments that this story of NOMANDLAND is going to be a correlation to my life. Fran McDormand's remarks at the Oscars compelled me to want to research further into this movie "Thank you"
Amazing and touching movie! Bob Wells may just be one of the kindest and most compassionate people that I know of 😊❤️
That is a wonderful film. I will go and watch it again for a second time.
Great respect to frances mc dormand and chloe zhao masterpiece movie ... this is how i feel every day all alone as single no girl no wife and kids i survived all alone as single great movie i love it

Carving new frontier out of necessity, heading into the vastness of the west, free and independent, with hope. Capturing the real helpful souls, helpers and kind spirits, both inspirational and uplifting, renewing faith in mankind. It's been done before, there is nothing more American. Long ago they went through Cincinnati, once gateway to the west. This film captures the bittersweet nature of the nomadic life in the backdrop of the west, other gems of beauty across our majesty of our country. Showing real guts, like those of our frontier homesteaders (roadsteaders), much like a John Ford film. I'm looking forward to experiencing this beauty of a collaborative work. Nicely done, so compelling. Finally, kudos to all involved in this adventure and in this short broadcast, taking us along with you, like you did.
This Nomad life that we see in America on a large scale,,,I think it will be WORLDWIDE, from now 2021 to .........
The soundtrack piano & violins are so great , Frances and cast and crew are amazing
I loved Swankie - she really draws you in , her quiet demeanor- she’s wonderful!
Thank you for the production back story and. Congratulations to they crew, staff, and all involved!
We are so looking forward to seeing this movie. So glad it won so many accolades.
"You will own nothing, and you will be happy." That's the great Orwellian reset.
The WEF has spoken.
Beautiful story/journey. Very thoughtful movie and well deserved 3 Oscars. Everyone of the characters portrayed such empathy and kindness. Who wouldn't want to meet and get to know anyone with that persona. Just amazing! Love you Fran!
An absolute masterpiece
The movie shows a fascinating group of people that most people think they don't exist: the white poor and their dilemmas of disconnection, solitude, and a true lack of meaning.
No shortage of meaning.
To live means to risk breaking like a 🌊, over and over on it's shores.
Remember this life style is for people who are healthy enough to travel without doctor trip's once a week or once a month ..with no meds and no addiction's with at least 1000 a month income plus you will need back up money for repairs.
I earn less than 1000 and I’ve lived happily in my for 2.5 years. It’s possible. 👍
Back to reality 😂😂
Not true. I have a chronic illness am living on disability and I am a full time nomad. My rheumatologist does telehealth appointments and forwards my prescriptions to whichever town I’m heading to. If I’m not doing well, I take as much time off the road as I need to rest and recover. It makes it more challenging, but it’s do-able. In fact it’s my only option as I can’t afford a house anymore. If you believe you can, you’re halfway there! 😍
@@lisawanderess That’s awesome and hope giving. I wish you all the best 🍀🍀🍀🍀
Lisa , when I was a kid back in the day I mean a long time ago hehehe we called these nomad's Hobo's
I can't wait to see this here in Canada 🇨🇦❤️🇨🇦
It streams on Disney Plus in Canada as of April 9th. Subscribed for just that reason.
@@FidoHouse thanks so much for the tip !🥰
Epic! Right time, beautiful rapport (respect), right actors...this picture is nothing short of paramount to these times. I was flummoxed!
the search to connect with lives that aren't so crowded that there isn't room for real connection. Be where you are but be where time holds you in the moment. Every moment.
I absolutely loved this movie.
This is wonderful. I am nearly finished reading the book and I have the DVD of the film on order. The book is a lovely piece of journalism, but I have found it a little depressing, focussing as it does on the horrible, slave labour imposed on people of retirement age by an economic disaster. it seems to me that the film is going to add a missing element - the sheer joy and love for the American landscape and for freedom and independence. I have seen interviews with the book's author, and she admits to being a gregarious sort, whereas so many vandwellers (she documents) are introverts and solitary types. It seems the film might capture the quietness and magnificence of a connection with nature and self, as much as with others. I'm even more excited to see the film now that I've seen this broadcast special.
I’ve been following several Nomads/Vanlifers on RUclips long before the book and movie came out, some of whom were in the movie that I was surprised and happy to see, so I’ve got a good sense of the lifestyle. I just watched the movie a couple days ago and have been watching anything I can find on the movie since and can say honestly say that they really did a fantastic job of telling their story accurately. It’s really a fantastic movie that leaves you wanting to see and learn more about these wonderful humans!
I finally watched this movie today..🙂
I’m neither homeless nor houseless. I am just a vanless non- American, stuck firmly in my seemingly safe house 24/7
especially during the coronavirus era. So, I have to admit that I have no way to know physically about any sort of nomad
culture . This three Oscars winning film showed me a whole new strange side of America I have hardly been familiar
with. This doesn't mean that I've had any sort of special illusions about nomad life, but one thing is for sure: there is so much
uncertainty all over the place today and yet most of us try to live the best life we can in our own way, no matter we are
nomadic or not.
People in this movie are mostly in their twilight years and share a collective sense of loss and sorrow which doesn't
necessarily look sad. They are not hopeless under the weight of life, seemingly looking quite satisfied with who and
what they are, free from possession of material , with good old memories or sad ones carried in their hearts, feeling responsible for their loved ones, dead or
alive. It's a movie, isn't it? Fern knows how to make her time with her dead husband so very precious though her solo nomadic life doesn't
seem to have started from her ichy feet . That must be partly what helped Frances McDormand take home the best actress award. The nomadic life
Fern and her friends enjoy(?) is certainly different from what the characters in Jack Kerouac 's novel "On the Road"
enjoy, but they all have one thing in common: longing for a new life- that is a way of life for them..
Francis and those in this movie have a beautiful message.
I will take heed on the 2 gallon bucket, unless I can upgrade.
Thank you for making this movie.
