A lot is riding on this movie…many expectations…I mean it’s “On the Road”, not just a classic…but a beacon of inspiration…a definition of a whole generation…its either a GO or GO HOME for the director >.<…But if done well 
-This is what I expect :
- KILLER Soundtrack…I want to hear JAZZ, BLUES , the movie has to capture what music was like to the people of the 1950’s.
- AMAZING Scenery….Sal’s journey across America was so inspirational to him not only for the people he met along the way but for all the things / places he saw. (Star filled skies…vast empty desert land…the coast…the countryside…the streets of Chicago, New York, Frisco, LA)
- HEAD ON Character interpretation…For example, the Dean character must be slick, inspirational, charming, everything Kerouac put into his precious Dean Moriarty.
- INSPIRATIONAL…just like the book, I hope the movie can be seen and give people a want to journey, explore and get ON THE ROAD in search of themselves, new place/faces, or just for the thrill of it.
I really can’t wait for the movie. Director, Walter Salles has a lot of responsibility on his hands but judging from his past movies, I think he can do it.
He’s also known for directing Motorcycle Diaries, a movie based on Che Guevara’s travels prior to becoming the inspirational revolutionary we all know him for. Looks interesting and well done…I’ll definitely be watching it soon.
