A road movie is a film genre in which the main characters leave home to travel from place to place, typically altering the perspective from their everyday lives.[1] The term can still apply to scenarios where it can be a misnomer, such as when the plot of a film involves off-road travel.
The genre has its roots in spoken and written tales of epic journeys, such as the Odyssey and the Aeneid. The road film is a standard plot employed by screenwriters. It is a type of bildungsroman, a story in which the hero changes, grows or improves over the course of the story.
The on-the-road plot was used at the birth of American cinema but blossomed in the years after World War II,
reflecting a boom in automobile production and the growth of youth
culture. Even so, awareness of the "road picture" as a genre came only
in the 1960s with Bonnie and Clyde[citation needed] and Easy Rider.[2] Extract from Paris Texas.
I think that this film can illustrate the notion of "spaces and exchanges" because it speaks about a man who seems to travel in the desert alone with some water. We can supposed that he is traveled since a lot of time because his clothes are not clean, so may be he came from an other country. Nevertheless he follows his travel, and we see that aroud him there is only the desert so the ending is very far of him.
UNDER THE SAME MOON (LA MISMA LUNA) tells the parallel stories of
nine-year-old Carlitos and his mother, Rosario. In the hopes of
providing a better life for her son, Rosario works illegally in the U.S.
while her mother cares for Carlitos back in Mexico. Unexpected
circumstances drive both Rosario and Carlitos to embark on their own
journeys in a desperate attempt to reunite. Along the way, mother and
son face challenges and obstacles but never lose hope that they will one
day be together again.
This movie can illustrate the notion of "places and exchanges" because he speaks about immigration to America. A little boy wants to find his mother and he is going to do everything to go to live with her. So he will meet a lot of diffrent people, he will see a lot of different country. He will discovers a lot of things related with this notion.
