    Letting Go of The Past

    by gilbert282

    Post WWII... Survivors of the depression, of the war- Overnight a new era was strewn before them. Ideals were being born, new cultures blossoming, business was booming.,it was as if the earth had bestowed a new liking to the future. Dean Moriarty was smelling the roses. And Marylou, oh yes! Marylou,so lovely, a bird of paradise who required 4
    hands to settle the discontent of overflowing beauty. Camille, what is it about Kirsten Dunst! She's like blinding starlight, so lovely, your eyes must surrender to the satisfying warmth. Sal, only an observer, scribling with his pen, along their journeys, the miracle of renewed american hope. But the grooves in the road, the hollows in their hearts - scars of the tribulation- rebirthed the obscurity: the future could only have meaning with the desparity of the past.

    Other than Kristen Stewart nude, no reason to see this.

    Literally, that's it. Movie plods along pointlessly, parading one worthless character after the other. There's nothing romantic about their journey, their constant wandering like I'd been lead to believe, just a bunch of bored kids looking for their next drug fix while doing their best to avoid responsibility for past personal choices. Nice to see Garrett Hedlund show some real acting chops though

    On the Road

    by sbright500

    This is the worst movie I have seen in years. It didn't really seem to be representative of the late 1940's and early 1950's at all. It was dreary and depressing, and I left the theater angry to witness such a degree of apathy and lack of life motivation. I am sorry to say that I absolutely detested sitting there through the worst two hours I have spent in a very long time. I love movies that make me laugh or invoke fear or excitement. This movie was just terrible....period.

    Not the best thing I've ever seen but great performances are given and it is a beautifully rough movie.

    How It Really Was On The Road!

    by jzactor

    I admit I was pleasantly surprised by this film. Friends told me it is too long and overdone (whatever that means) but I liked it, a lot! It gives what I would say, is a clear, accurate, exciting, disturbing, exhilirating portait in motion of life on the road and the basis for the book. The acting is terrific. In my humble opinion, this is the best work yet by Kristin Stewart. She is so subtle yet within is a fierce intensity, fear, highs, lows, and exhiliration. The actors are symbols for the journey because their faces convey the entire journey's impact on them. Each actor is terrific!. I think the film gives an accurate and "no holds barred" experience of the beat era and all that included. This film is the aduit version of Happy Days! I felt a myriad of emotions and never knew what to expect next. Visually, this film is a masterpiece for its detail and vivid color. All in all, I was very pleasanly suprised, exhilirated, disgusted, and emotionally moved!

Rod_Griffin No, I think it was a B movie comedy about a very long bus, its passengers and problems it had on the road. #cashchat

Teedeekae Once watched a movie where a racist white in America beat a black guy up, made him lie on the road with his mouth open on the pavement.
