Let me think about... the "Interstate 60"

Usually rather popular things are thought to have no hidden meaning or rather good things are not popular enough.  I`m going to take sometimes some of them for a discussion.

The Fifth - "Life like a trip" Discussion of the "Interstate 60" movie.


This one has quite different opinions about it: ones say that it`s a stupid fairy-tale with popular scatty actor on the main role and others just notice great actors` starring there. Ones find there a real current of life with its advantures, difficulties and so on and others find its happy ending meaningless, trite and impossible in a real life. That is said to be its main problem. 

In my opinion, the fictional side of the film is made so that it must be interesting for people of every age. Comparing different cultures it`s turning into its own way and then coming through the plot, the caracters. Then we find out that it could easily be just a dream - the thing that made Nail change his attitude to life.

Having watched the film I found out that the situation of Nail isn`t fictional at all - he was a boy looking for his way of life - the situation of mine right now. It is really difficult to understand what`s your ability are and I don`t know where to search the answers. It would be much better of course to have some kind of these fantastic things in our world. Other way what do we see - a guy is riding a mystery road, meeting different people, a little bit strange, but we all are, aren`t we? Actually that`s not the man - O.W.Grant with his ability of making your wish come true is responsible for all these changings in Nail - there`re only those "odinary" people are, only with their help he finally gets his place in life. That`s the point that make a fairy-tale come into reality.


















Considering that we come to a conclusion that the film was made to give as answers how to live. In fact it`s not true. During the film we just get more and more questions, mostly beginning with "What if..." And also there`re lots of problems that should be discussed in our world too. They may be not deep enough to make the film philosophical, what could bring make it a little bit boring I guess. Other way these "small" problems of truth and lie for example make the movie very attractive.

















In conclusion I`d like to say that I can`t understand why the style it`s made in is argued the most. I think they wanted to keep an atmosphere of crazy 70s which was made really beatufull. Filled with jokes, well-known actors and an unique love story it makes "Interstate 60" one of my favorite films. And are you looking for answers?
