This movie reminds me of my fiancé who passed away last year. He was insistent that he had to move out to the Midwest and felt we needed to get out of the city and out of Texas. The reality was that he was just running away from family and inner turmoil. He had prior issues with addiction, but moving to a small, rural town didn’t turn out to be therapeutic in the way he imagined. He relapsed hard and is now underground. You can’t run from your past nor your problems forever. 😔

Just came across this channel, in a short. Right away I got the feeling, that I was in store for some really interesting cinema... And told by someone, who has an almost scholarly knowledge about film... and a wonderful style to present it. And seeing your comment just confirms it. Yay! ~ gigglezz....🤭 Subbed and digging in. 💕💖💕

Great analysis, I never considered the film through the gaze of its position in history and the generation of the characters. I recommend looking more into Sam Shepard, especially given your analysis. If you read Sam’s prose, poetry, and plays I believe you will feel that the elements you’re describing are more Sam’s doing than Wim’s. Especially given the image of parents leaving their children; as this film was written when Sam was leaving his first wife and child. I had the privilege to go through the initial drafts/screenplays of the film, at the Witliff collection in Texas, and Sam did a huge part of the writing, unfortunately they did not have a finished script when it came time to shoot. And the infamous monologue at the end had to be dictated over the phone by Sam upon Wim’s pleas for him to write it.

I think of Gen X in particular, raised to be feral as many Gen Xers their parents even if they were present were totally absent. Surprised Gen X & older Millennials didn't turn out to be the worst generation ever or at least the most traumatized but it seems the very opposite happened & they are now trying their best to show up for their kids. Hope the next generation, Gen Z does it even better. WW II generation raised the emotionally secure attached worst generation because they were highly traumatized and passed it down to their kids. Boomers aren't in a void they were created.

Splendid reflection of a classic movie, superb essay.

It's called "film essay". It focus on a specific topic from the film and develops a deep perspective about it.

Hey man Im a big fan of your channel Ive gotten a ton of great recommendations from it. Idk if you've watched much of Wes Andersons stuff (probably lol) but I was really struck by his movie asteroid city. If you got a chance to dissect asteroid city I'd enjoy the hell out of that. Either way please keep up the good work your channel is one of the few things I don't feel like I'm wasting my time with when I watch KZread I actually feel like I'm enriching myself.
