The scene with Travis and hunter running across the road on opposite sides is honestly one of my favourite scenes in the history of cinema.
“I wanted to see him so bad that I didn't even dare imagine him anymore.”
Seemingly birthed from the dust that surrounds him, a man wordlessly emerges from the desert, trudging towards an invisible horizon, his face weary and withered, his memory elusive, his soul haunted by regret and sorrow.
Wim Wenders' Paris, Texas is a melancholic portrait of a broken man yearning for reconnection with a family whom he had left years ago.

the stuff in the desert is just so sublime. several shots look like harry dean stanton is just standing in front of a matte painting of a landscapes under a frozen sky– so fucking cool. i've said before that i used to confuse david byrne and david lynch and this movie vindicates that for me because it feels like a mix of their two distinct styles, but makes that combination seem so natural. couldn't stop obsessing over the presence of green and red, though i couldn't tell you symbolically what it means. though now as i type this, i'm like "ooh, traffic lights." but that's all i got for you. would highly recommend reading a smart person's take on this movie
"i didn't want to use him to fill all my emptiness."
as close to perfect as movies can get. i really love how bittersweet it is, it's like you're warm and cozy for a couple of minutes but then you're freezing, truly an amazing depiction of life and the human experience and one of my absolute favorite films.
