Napoleon Lenker 5/11/13 As the movie opens we are granted images of a familiar theme that to any fan of Kerouac will begin to constitute an understanding the connection that is granted to Jarmusch as “the last of the beats.” This opening scene is of a plane landed with a girl standing far off in front of the plane holding luggage.

I still remember those wonderful holidays in Nha Trang City. This trip was a vacation with my family. The idea for a trip to Nha Trang was my dad’s friends said it was the best. Nha Trang is the place where I felt comfortable and relax. Nha Trang is peaceful in its own ways. The heat of the air there hit me in the face and felt like it threw me on the ground.
