Car-chase road-trip through the vast territories & counterculture of 70s America. Most of the movie consists in speeding from one point to another, while evading the authorities that try to put a stop to the journey. As such, it offers spectacular chases, freaky races and exciting stunts - all expertly filmed and set in gorgeous & empty landscapes, for our pleasure. The MC comes across a panorama of atypical people on his way, ranging from the hippie druggies to just-married queers, and from faith healers to desert snake barters. An undefinable, ungraspable, spiritual quest drives him forward, manifesting in an existential, disinterested, radical act of Rebellion - and thus, of Freedom.
开头一段舒缓的乡村小调被推土车的轰隆声覆盖,结果等警察布完阵法,这个音乐竟然还在继续播放;Kowalski每次遇见不同的女人(all blonde),背景都会响起同一首罗马假日式的浪漫歌曲,重复带来讽刺,但在这里只是无害的幽默。这些非常搞怪的选择让我看到了音乐在此片心理和影像风格上的全面控制,它们穿透了这个公路世界,让动物、机车、沙漠、人类完全平等了。“we've got the music”,嬉皮牧师于是选择把响尾蛇放生,天空下的所有东西都在追求自由,要做的只是无视障碍并加快速度。
