One of the most evocative and powerful of endings and my word, that cinematography!!! Robby Muller was amazing. Arguably the greatest film of all time

This movie earned its endings' emotional impact. The way Hunter slowly looks up at her and that pause before he hugs her... perfection. All that lead to this moment justifies its power. Brings me to tears everytime. Oh how I love this movie.

Yes, I had to dry my eyes too before answering. It has so much intensity in general. I lost my mom when I was 14 years old, so I can imagine how Hunter may feel in this moment. Now she´s gone for over 40 years, but the feelings never change.

Wim wenders is a genius, and the acting by Kinski just blew me away. The story hit close to my heart, because I could identify with these problems, I think many people can

"My work here is done"

Wonderful scene of mother and son reuniting, but I still feel kind of bad for the aunt and uncle who really loved him as well.

2:55 is one of the single most breathtaking shots I've ever seen in film. Literally breathtaking. Very similar to Philip Guston's painting "Driver", wouldn't surprise if it was an inspiration aesthetically.

A Truly Brilliant Film...Can,t believe its 40 years ....

I remember the day this film came to my life. It was the precise moment and time to watch it. So powerfull and touching. Brings a tear into my eye. Amazing what cinema can acomplish.

Thanks for sharing this clip. The music, the acting, the scenery, all so wonderful.

Well, Travis ... you made Jane and little Hunter happy ... and broke the hearts of your brother and especially his wife ~ Anne ~ who I believe will end up in a deep depression after loosing little Hunter ... whom she's raised for 4 years of his 7 years ~ and had learned to love the little angel as if he was her own !

Herry Dean should have gotten a Oscar the reading to her near the mirror

When I first watched the movie, I didn't notice that this sequence was full of green.

@mrmiller74

Жыл бұрын

That's because it wasn't. Kind of torn by this "remastered" color saturation. Sure it adds to the greens of the mother and son's clothing by bathing Travis in green and also the parking lot contrast of green with the sunset at 2:42 looks stunning but ultimately it's kind of fake. Every single window behind Jane and Hunter is emitting green light!

Sweet goodness. Music and vision.

Great scene... !

The beginning and end are so hypnotic and haunting. Cobain once said how it's one of his all time movies. The kid totally reminds me of him. No Country for Old Men owes a lot to this forgotten gem.

Tears. Every time.

When I first saw this movie in my twenties, I thought it was the best movie ever. Hunter was an amazing child actor, & I loved the scenery, the plot, and Sam Shepard beautiful dialogue. It all added up to a poetic cinematic masterpiece. In my thirties, when I became a mother, the movie rang false to me, because I couldn’t fathom leaving my child, ever, for any reason. If my husband was smothering me, I’d endure it to stay with my child, and if I couldn’t, I’d escape from his possessiveness and bring my child with me. I’d never leave my child. I still love the movie, though!

For the same reason he was wandering the desert in the first place... Looking for Paris, Texas, trying to make sense of his own existence. He brings his wife and child back together and mends the pain he had caused to them, but it doesn't change the fact that he's still lost and damaged himself. At the start of the film he says he's bought a vacant lot in Paris, Texas because he believes it was the place where he was conceived. Perhaps he feels like he belongs there, or maybe he believes he will be reborn, or perhaps he's just retracing his steps, trying to figure out where and how he got lost.

Nothing particularly tricky. He's too damaged, and he knows that his son can either be with him or with Jane, but not both, because it would only go wrong again, and it's better for him to be with her. He wants them to be happy.

The insane contrast between such a profoundly warm moment (the mother reconnecting with her son after years) and right away mid spin it cuts to the single most horridly lonely shot of him seeing it from the parking lot, only to turn away and drive away... No words, only tears. What a piece of art. What brilliance on all fronts.
