On the Road plot
"The best teacher is experience."
New York, late 1940s. After his father's death, Sal Paradise (Sam Riley), an aspiring New York writer, meets the riotous and adventurous Dean Moriarty (Garrett Hedlund). Longing for freedom, they flee from the daily grind and travel across America. Between despair and rapture, they experiment with sex, love, drugs, alcohol and music. They seek the turmoil, the wild life, the debauchery -- the peaks of their emotions.

Pretty good movie, better than the book imo. The casting was therefore perfect!

Film with very strong scenes, I think. Pretty gross but not empty-headed, because thoughts and images of irresponsibility, searching for a fixed value in life and meaning, extreme selfishness, craving for importance and attention, little real friendship, etc... are discussed in the film. Maybe a little too drawn out.
All the actors, and there are quite a few, act convincingly in their roles.

Great movie. You have to give him the chance until the end and let him come in. It helps if you have tasted the dark side of life.
