摘要
无论是在影像中还是文字中。道路永远都是充满隐喻和象征的一个元素。在荧幕上。专门有一种电影类型就是公路电影。一条充满黄沙、尘土和岩石的道路，或者一个空旷的、世界尽头般的地方，’这些影像见证了人生的旅途。似乎只有在那里。内心中最真实、最自然、或最向往和最深刻的东西才能够被找到。
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. The genre has its roots in spoken and written tales of epic journeys, such as Odyssey and Aeneid. The road film is a standard plot employed by screenwriters. It is often a type of bildungsroman （ 成长小说） , 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 Easy Rider and Bonnie and Clyde.
