On the Road
by Jack Kerouac
On the Road is a beatnik travelogue that sees Sal Paradise and Dean Moriarty criss-cross the United States and finally ends up in Mexico. These journeys were basically hedonistic vacations of no purpose or redeeming quality what so ever.
I must admit, I am a snob. I do not enjoy spending time with people who treat me well. I do not like movies whose main characters are self centered and have no morals. Sal Paradise and Dean Moriatry were despicable characters. The only purpose for these journeys was to get stoned and escape their responsibilities.
They treated women like crap, family like crap, and ultimately each other like crap.
