You won't be disappointed!

Fresh and Exciting

I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

As someone that hasn't read the book before watching the movie, I though it was pretty good. Theres no other way of portraying relationships or friendships that existed in the late 1940s and early 1950s. Times were very different and the movie has a way of bringing you back to those days.

Wasn't Mary Lou supposed to have curly blonde hair? A part of me expected more, but not really, everyone always screws up the movie. Read the book before you watch this butcher babe flick. If you're a tourist you won't care but, you'll get more. He's one of the most important writers of his time. He defined the entire beat generation. Creative licence is one thing, and this is buffoonery. You guys are not cool enough to be called dingledodies. I want to make a movie that includes everything, all 307 pages. This creates a very inauthentic experience. It's not something to be taken with causality. This was written with vision, a vision which changed everything. It was hungry for more, but the writers of the script for the movie make me sick... It wasn't their story. I demand they remake it.

So, to be honest here I neither have read the book nor I care about its content. I am here to express my opinion on the movie itself without taking in consideration any linkings between the film and Kerouac's novel.Well, at first I had no high expectations about the movie as I tend to "snob" youth oriented stories. However, I have a HUGE crush on Stewart so I gave it a try. I have to say I am amazed. I don't't really know from where to begin. From the outstanding performances of our three protagonists? From the "escape reality" 50's climate of beat generation? I think I'll start from the overall atmosphere of the film. And yes, I am talking about the unstoppable hearts and minds of the youth, that actually dare to seek happiness and ignore the risks of failure. Cause that's what the whole movie is about. About escaping. Road tripping, marijuana, alcohol, sex, jazz and lack of money are the movies ingredients to depict beat generation. And they definitely made it.Far more than a typical "youth madness film", 'On The Road' fills the viewer with nostalgia and crave about the gone past. About the years of innocence and creativity. About our lost selves who seek redemption throughout our living space but they are well hidden into the "normal" or the "reasonable" that society put on our ways as an obstacle to find the true beauty on our existence. A movie about mettle and will to live and to reach the well-kept freedom in ourselves. A hidden masterpiece of our generation.

Young writer Sal Paradise has his life shaken by the arrival of free-spirited Dean Moriarty and his girl, Marylou (Kristen Stewart). As they travel across the country, they encounter a mix of people who each impact their journey indelibly.Apparently, Kristen Stewart is now an adult. Following her rise to stardom with "Twilight", she could have been stuck doing some silly movies. Box office numbers were big, but critics largely panned the franchise. Then this comes along...Of course, among the right people, "On the Road" is a classic. I am surprised that James Franco did not force himself into the starring role.
