I didn't mean empty in a spiritual or perjorative sense. I meant literally empty, as in no people or buildings, just land and sky. There are still quite a few spots in the US where you could be the only person for miles.

the film represents the perfect balance between a good script, images of such beauty that they become paintings, actors that give life to their characters and music that goes so well that it becomes the shadow of the images. one of the most moving films i've seen.

Just watched this for the first time. The exchange between Stanton and Kinski near the end just wrecked me. Wasn't expecting myself to react how I did. Everything else was great too, the cinematography, use of color, the score and deliberate pacing - it all comes together very well.

Poignant, bleak film with the added plus of great visuals (that I strongly related to because I have lived my whole life in the american southwest).

I like the movie, but that's not fair. "Much of America is just empty". Why the hate?

Wenders gets a truth about America that not many non-Americans get: Much of America is just empty.

Una vez más me quedo con mi pupila dilatada con dicha joya, ahora la vi en un cine como se debe. El ser uno para poder ser con los demás gran enseñanza en este viaje del maestro Wim Wenders, excelente pelicula.

My favorite scene ever, in my 2nd favorite film of all time; after Wings of Desire

I even imagined you talking back to me. We’d have long conversations, the two of us. It was almost like you were there. I could hear you, I could see you, smell you. I could hear your voice. Sometimes your voice would wake me up. It would wake me up in the middle of the night, just like you were in the room with me. Then… it slowly faded. I couldn’t picture you anymore.

This is one of few movies that I believe nobody can deny that it is one of the greatest movies ever made. The beauty of the film's images, the power of the perfect writing, and how much resonance the film leaves you with is on a level that no other film has matched. A damn near perfect film. This is as flawless as a film can be.

Wim Wenders, Harry Dean Stanton, Dean Stockwell, Ry Cooder, Sam Shepard, Texas. That is an amazing ensemble.

The performances are staggering, painful and moving. The scene between Travis and Jane is one of the greatest in cinema history. I don't want to say much about it to spoil anything for you, but if you still have a dry eye at it's close then you may need to check yourself for a pulse.

Probably the most 'european' American movie ever made, Paris, Texas is a nothing short of a meditation, and creates entire worlds out of the melancholia the protagonists experience within. Harry Dean Stanton's best role and maybe even Wim Wender's most effective work; Paris, Texas is a serene yet heartbreaking journey of one man's attempt to come to terms with his own past. Oh, and Ry Cooder's score is just lovely.
