On the Road is a 2012 film adaptation of the Jack Kerouac novel of the same name directed by Walter Salles and starring Sam Riley as Sal Paradise and Garrett Hedlund as Dean Moriarty. It is being executive produced by Francis Ford Coppola. Filming began on August 4, 2010, in Montreal, Canada, with a $25 million budget. The story is based on the years Kerouac spent traveling America in the 1940s with his friend Neal Cassady and several other figures who would go on to fame in their own right, including William S. Burroughs and Allen Ginsberg.

This is the second thread on this trailer and I'll repeat what I said in the first one . . .

BORING

Supposed to be a classic, I found the book utterly boring

It is a classic.

Though it maybe considered boring for the MTV-Pop Idol generation.


Also, where's the other thread? I searched yesterday before posting this one but couldn't find anything.

I am not of the MTV-Pop Idol generation. I was out of high school before MTV even started. :lol:

I just couldn't get into the book. I tried, I just couldn’t.

And here’s the other thread, don’t know why it didn’t come up when you did your search.

and catefrances (from the original thread) has a point, it may have just been my mind set at the time I read it

you know its been quite a few years since ive read on the road and i think thats what will be this movies saving grace for me. i mean aside from the fact that sam riley alll but killed me as ian curtis. 8-)
Now what we have to understand is that this comes from an extremely clever and skillful program, that has manipulated us into ways of thinking that may be contrary to our own interests, but beneficial to the interests of the powers that be... beneficial to the interests of those who control our lives, and tax us until we have hardly a penny left to spend, take our money, and plough it into the creation of huge, armed bureaucracies, which exist to oppress us. We live in a society today where we may not make decisions, to explore our own consciousness. If I am not sovereign over my own consciousness, then I am sovereign over nothing.

Ah, it was on page 3 of the search. I didn't bother scrolling that far.

I read it twice. Enjoyed it a lot more the second time. Maybe the hype effected it the first time around.
