Bu film haqqında

Directed by acclaimed filmmaker Walter Salles (CENTRAL STATION, THE MOTORCYCLE DIARIES) and based on the iconic novel by Jack Kerouac, ON THE ROAD tells the timeless story of Sal Paradise (Sam Riley), a young writer whose life is shaken and ultimately redefined by the arrival of Dean Moriarty (Garrett Hedlund), a free-spirited, fearless, fast talking Westerner and his girl, Marylou (Kristen Stewart). Traveling cross-country, Sal and Dean venture out on a personal quest for freedom from the conformity and conservatism engulfing them in search of the unknown, themselves, and the pursuit of "it" -- the pure essence of experience. Seeking uncharted terrain and the last American frontier, the duo encounter an eclectic mix of men and women -- Bull (Viggo Mortensen), Camille (Kirsten Dunst), Carlo (Tom Sturridge), Jane (Amy Adams), Terry (Alice Braga), Galatéa (Elisabeth Moss) -- each impacting their journey indelibly.

The film was full of sexual situations that were not in the book. The great story is better read, as the movie just made it seem like a pointless string of unimportant events.

Couldn’t watch this all the way through … stopped half way through, for the first time ever, and had to stop. Read and love the book, and this is not even close. The book was not exclusively about sex, drinking and pot! Also, the actors were terrible and completely mis-casted! These weren’t pretty people, these characters were real, but that actors weren’t ... they were just reading a script, and were not even close to the real people. I don’t think anyone making this movie ever read the book … it is a literary classic, and not exclusively about sex, drinking and smoking pot.

If you have yet to read the original scroll then this film will seem unnecessarily sexual....on the other hand I have read the scroll and think it's totally spot on! Viggo's Burroughs was just killer!
