Nomadland Reaction and Review
Above all I am not a movie critic but I am a nomad and I did see the movie Nomadland, so here’s my reaction and review. Learn more by listening to Nomadland-Reaction-Review-Bob Davis Podcast 992.
Have You Seen It?
In addition my listeners want to know if I’ve seen Nomadland.
Not An Action Movie
First of all we’re drowning in an ocean of super action hero movies.
It’s Real And That’s Why It’s Great
Therefore it’s easy to see why Nomadland is winning so many awards.
Did I Say Real?
Firstly this is a movie about a very real topic.
American Workers Crisis
Companies that disappear. Workers who are thrown away and forgotten.
Struggles
Secondly some people struggle with grief, loss and other issues.
Forced Into Nomad Life or Freedom?
Consequently I can be forgiven for thinking the main character in Nomadland is ‘forced’ into life as a nomad.
However not everyone agrees with my assessment.
How Do You Do it?
In addition I often get questions from people about “how I do it”.
Cue The Raised Eyebrows from Dad
Furthermore Nomadland will only intensify raised eyebrows and questions of concern.
Certainly the movie got that right.
Life With No Tether
I’ve already discussed life with no tether.
Not Instagram
In short let’s just say Nomadland isn’t the movie version of the Instagram Van Life feed.
To sum up that is why it’s a great movie.
Real Nomads
Most of the people in Nomadland are real nomads.
Life Doesn’t Pack Neatly Into A Box
And there are elements about their lives and experiences that aren’t neatly wrapped up in a box
We Don’t All Have Brand New Sprinter Vans
Or summed up in that Instagram pic of that young sun kissed blonde woman and her boyfriend taking a shower on the back of their one hundred thousand dollar Sprinter Van.
Bureau Of Land Management Camping Isn’t Yellowstone
Even more let’s not forget the golden sunset on gorgeous beaches and fantastic vegan meal spreads.
Sense Of Freedom
But the movie gets the sense of freedom right.
Your Experience May Vary
In conclusion Nomadland is not every nomad’s experience.
My truck is heated.
Pan frying steaks is my specialty. Obviously I eat meat. Not soup out of a can.
I don’t use a bucket.
This nomad gets along just fine in truck stops.
Diesel #2 is pretty awesome fuel.
A New Trend
Finally mobile workers and a nomad lifestyle may be the coming thing for many reasons.
If you’re considering it don’t let the movie scare you away.
