    I reviewed this movie (which I loved) on my channel back in September when I saw it virtually through TIFF. Swankie herself commented on it saying that much of her character's story was derived from her real life, that she has canoed every single state, and that footage of her with the birds was something she shot herself a couple years ago, and Zhao decided to work it into the narrative. I thought that was really cool.

      it is. I agree with most of the reviewers. Its about romanticism and reality. The character of McDormand and her joy and sorrow, and the mood is just so natural. So perfect. I thought the movie was a little too quick for its mood at times. Like so many things happen so quickly but it does travel all the ground so well. This is indeed a power house performance from McDormand but you also have to hand it to the supporting actors who come and play their small parts around her so well. And they are mostly non-actors. I mean you can figure out that they are not professional actors and yet they do such a great job. But you are right. Its a beautiful film. With not a lot movies not releasing this year and for some reason Rachel McAdams not getting the nomination she deserved it probably means McDormand is going to get another shot for Best Actress. I do not want to be critical but I think McDormand's performance was enhanced by her character and the way the movie was shot and presented. And McAdams did a better job of playing a more complicated character who had to go through many different emotions. But Nomadland is probably now ahead for best movie and cinematography.

    I like that long tracking scene... as a scene in a film, as the first teaser for a film I was so bored and confused by it. Had the year worked like it was supposed to we would be in the height of the Chloe Zhao hype machine! Eternals was early November then this just in time for the Oscar race!? Would have been massive hype behind her critically and financially! She is one to watch in the next few years! 👍🏾❤️

    Thanks for finally getting around to my favorite movie. One correction: the book is not a novel. Fern was invented by Francis and Chloe in order to create a story. I have been a nomad and know several folks in the movie. Circumstances (my mom needs my care at the end of her life) keep me from that life right now, but I cannot wait to return to it. I loved everything about it including the discomfort. This movie captures all the positives of the lifestyle and will help me explain it to my bewildered relatives and friends. Can’t wait for a dvd and digital copy of my own. Meanwhile, I scored a second viewing from TIFF for Wednesday night!!!

    Two of my favorite things intersecting! Sam Seder interviewed Jessica Bruder on MR and convinced me to get the book. Now you're reviewing the film for it, which I didn't even know existed. Going to have to watch! And the book was a true story.

  • @kellymahoney7363
    @kellymahoney7363 Před 3 lety +1

    Nomadland reminded me of Into The Wild. Both movies are about a nomad scraping together an existence, searching for what truly brings them peace and happiness, making deep connections with people along their journey, but still choosing to go their own way, and while being haunted by their past. Both movies resonated with me, which maybe is a little concerning.

    I did this for a year. It's surprisingly freeing shitting in a bucket from the inside of your van while you stare out at the mountains haha. Once you're on the road for a while you sort of become one with the road and land. It's an amazing experience! Bobs videos were one of the things that inspired me to get on the road in the first place. How cool to see him in this movie.

    • @zookeeperification

      I also have been a nomad with a bucket toilet. (Part of the charm, for sure.) Will be again when I no longer have to look after my mom. Gulp. I’ll take my grief on the road like Fran does.

    Haven't said it in a while but love these reviews, and man, this movie is so beautiful. I haven't seen it on the big screen but of all the movies this year, this is the one I'd most want to see in a theater. McDormand doesn't need a third Oscar (can we give her Three Billboards one to Saoirse?) but this stands next to Fargo as one of the great performances of her career. The Directors Branch will be awed by what Zhao pulls off here.

      There are 2 Amazon facilities near me and I know a lot of people that absolutely love it. You can find horror stories for any employer but the larger it is, the louder those bad ones get. They pay great, are very very flexible in scheduling and the job has gotten so much easier over the years. If I ever need to job search again, I know I can get a great paying job there. How many communities can say that. If you have limitations, they'll find a position that works for you as well.

    Seeing this movie marks my first foray back to an actual movie theater in almost a year. The experience could not have been more satisfying. The sweeping western vistas are kind of muted and looked like paintings, true art. The story is emotional and affecting. Frances McDormand is perfect. Man, did I miss going to the movies.

    I just saw this and I'm so heartbroken I could not connect to anything. Maybe it's the fact that I live in the desert and I'm so bored with that kind of scenery and the fact that I've been hearing rave reviews for this for over a year. Of course the performances are great but I felt nothing, and it went nowhere. Anyways... Maybe I'll give it a 2nd watch a long time from now.

    A pretty movie with great acting, but it doesn't quite meet the standards of storytelling. The character and her situation are well established, but it doesn't really go forward much. After a while it's repetitive and overlong. I'm tired of critics fawning over boring cinema. It's bad for independent films.

It's the greatest country in the history of the world, and it's a free country (so far) where people like this can live they way they want to. And he's obviously making a good living, the bastard!
