Road Movies

ROADS are an important component in our lives, indeed a part of our artistic expressions. As a consequence, there is a film genre called "Road Movie" or "Road films" in which the film´s storyline take place during a journey. This is the object of my research project.
The origins of Road Movies are in spoken and writen tales of epic journeys, such as the Odyssey and the Aeneid. In Road Movies the main character changes, grows or improves over the course of the story.
Some of the most remarkable road movies are The Wild One, Bonnie and Clyde, Easy Rider, The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert, Thelma and Louise, Natural Born Killers, Wild at Heart, Rain Man, Y tu mamá también, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, Mulholland Drive, Into the Wild.
Since most of my favourites movies are Road Films I´m very excited about the topic, and eager to learn more about it.
