Evengyny Thanks for the memories!
BootDigest Such a frustrating disappointment
Brendon Jones It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.
Lachlan Coulson This is a gorgeous movie made by a gorgeous spirit.
ArthurJimbo I would have preferred that they focused on Dean, Sal, and their communication and search for "It" Loads of fat they could have trimmed from this film. The film fails to pull back any layers to the point that we cannot even reach the meat and bones. It is my understanding the film-makers here went for the story more along the lines of the actual individuals and not quite so much the characters representing them in the book. I personally feel that this may have undercut any possibility this film had to reach any level of the fantastical, perhaps, mystical. I think the actors, aside from fellow that plays Sal, have no sense of being beat or poor and therefore have much less to give their roles. I believe Sam Riley actually struggled as an artist for many years before finding any main stream success. But even then, the way Sal is written, he does not take part in much and only observes. Making a film and finishing it is an accomplishment. Much more so a film of this nature which is asked to flesh out the book and make it larger than life on screen. So, with that in mind, I think its only fair to give this film at least a 6. They fell but didn't fail to reach. And that is to be commended.
adonis98-743-186503 Young writer Sal Paradise has his life shaken by the arrival of free- spirited Dean Moriarty and his girl, Marylou. As they travel across the country, they encounter a mix of people who each impact their journey indelibly. This was a movie i was waiting a whole summer to see and when i saw it i was disappointed a lot of sex scenes, great actors playing stupid characters and it's sad cause my biggest problem with the whole film was Dean himself (Garrett Hedlund) he was a poor character and he even banged a guy to take his car i mean what the hell? Marylou was the only interesting character as for everyone else? mostly a miss and not a hit.
dallasryan I have to say, I'm not a huge fan of Jack K., nor was I a huge fan of the novel. So in first watching this film, I was thinking how much this movie was sucking it up, but then it just kept hooking me in and it came to a full circle at some point to where I was hoping the film would go on forever because I was liking the characters so much. I loved these characters, and I didn't want it to end. On the Road to nowhere, on the road to finding yourself, on the road to discovery, to change, to never changing, just a really cool film overall. I recommend this film for all of the free spirits and artists out there. I dug it baby, I dug it. These guys were the hippies of their time, drifters, until some of them grew out of it.
Sanjhbati M On the Road (French: Sur la route) is a 2012 Brazilian-French-Canadian adventure drama film directed by Walter Salles. It is an adaptation of the 1957 novel of the same name by Jack Kerouac. The film stars an ensemble cast featuring Garrett Hedlund, Sam Riley, Kristen Stewart, Amy Adams, Tom Sturridge, Danny Morgan, Alice Braga, Elisabeth Moss, Kirsten Dunst, and Viggo Mortensen. The story is based on the years Kerouac spent travelling the United States in the late 1940s with his friend Neal Cassady and several other figures who would go on to fame in their own right, including William S. Burroughs and Allen Ginsberg. On The Road is the story of Sal Paradise, an aspiring New York writer, and Dean Moriarty, a devastatingly charming ex-con, married to the very liberated and seductive Marylou. Sal and Dean bond instantly instantly upon meeting. Determined not to get locked in to a constricted life, the two friends cut their ties and take to the road with Marylou. Thirsting for freedom, the three young people head off in search of the world, of other encounters, and of themselves
