Paris, Texas

Loved how this movie progresses. In the beginning we are welcomed into a vast landscape of the desert, lost and confused. Our main character doesn't speak a single word. This movie doesn't throw us into a specific time, place, or with any important character's. Much like Travis, we enter the world of this film lost and forgetful. And just like Travis, as the movie progresses, we learn more and more about the past. I love how interactive this part of the movie was, we are able to have a deeper connection and understanding with Travis because we are experiencing the same thing he is. Then the two big parts of this movie: both phone booth scenes. These are completely flawless. Crafted to absolute perfection. Timeless scenes that stick with the viewer. The only (and i mean only) part i did not like about this movie, is the untimely music cuts. Sometimes, a twangy western guitar is placed, where it would simply be better without it. Because my connotation with the twangy western guitar is not one of upmost seriousness, and it can detract away from some of the emotions being executed to perfection by the actor's and their silence. The movie starts with Travis, bewildered, dirty, and mute. We finish where he's found himself reconciled with the past, where all he can do is speak, he's clean.
