Nebraska (2013) by Alexander Payne
geriatric melancholy father-and-son road adventure. the current economic backdrop gives this one a poignant flavor. i hear about people of my generation grappling with the idea that they may never accumulate any real legacy to pass down, that life may just be reduced to a series of pay periods, punctured by the occasional luxuries of organic fruits at the groceries.
life is long and fleeting. after all this trouble, in the end maybe we just want something to grab onto to think it hasn’t all been for naught.
