Chris Ioannou 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.

dallasryan I have to say, I'm not a huge fan of Jack K., nor was I a huge fan of the novel. So in first watching this film, I was thinking how much this movie was sucking it up, but then it just kept hooking me in and it came to a full circle at some point to where I was hoping the film would go on forever because I was liking the characters so much. I loved these characters, and I didn't want it to end. On the Road to nowhere, on the road to finding yourself, on the road to discovery, to change, to never changing, just a really cool film overall. I recommend this film for all of the free spirits and artists out there. I dug it baby, I dug it. These guys were the hippies of their time, drifters, until some of them grew out of it.

gavin6942 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.

Sanjhbati M On the Road (French: Sur la route) is a 2012 Brazilian-French-Canadian adventure drama film directed by Walter Salles. It is an adaptation of the 1957 novel of the same name by Jack Kerouac. The film stars an ensemble cast featuring Garrett Hedlund, Sam Riley, Kristen Stewart, Amy Adams, Tom Sturridge, Danny Morgan, Alice Braga, Elisabeth Moss, Kirsten Dunst, and Viggo Mortensen. The story is based on the years Kerouac spent travelling the United States in the late 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. On The Road is the story of Sal Paradise, an aspiring New York writer, and Dean Moriarty, a devastatingly charming ex-con, married to the very liberated and seductive Marylou. Sal and Dean bond instantly instantly upon meeting. Determined not to get locked in to a constricted life, the two friends cut their ties and take to the road with Marylou. Thirsting for freedom, the three young people head off in search of the world, of other encounters, and of themselves
