Road movies

Road movies are a genre of films that focus on characters traveling over long distances, often by car or on foot, symbolizing journeys of self-discovery, freedom, or change. Beyond just the physical trip, these movies explore personal growth, relationships, and societal themes as characters encounter new environments and challenges along the way. The journey itself becomes a metaphor for internal transformation, with the open road representing possibility and adventure. Examples include classics like "Easy Rider" and "The Motorcycle Diaries," where the movement across landscapes reflects deeper emotional or philosophical quests.
