Don't Come Knocking is a 2005 American drama film written and directed by Wim Wenders. The film stars Sam Shepard as Howard Spence, a former Western movie star who has hit rock bottom. The story follows Howard as he travels from one place to another, indulging in his vices of drinking, drug-taking, and casual affairs with younger women. He is haunted by the memories of his past successes and failures, including his marriage to a woman named Edwina (played by Jessica Lange) who has since passed away. As Howard continues to self-destruct, he receives a letter from his estranged 14-year-old daughter, Ruby (played by Madeline Carroll), informing him that she is being taken care of by her mother's new husband and stepdaughter. Feeling guilty for abandoning his family, Howard decides to visit them in New Mexico, hoping to reconnect with Ruby and make amends. Upon arrival, Howard meets a waitress named Doreen (played by Sarah Polley) who becomes the object of his affections. As he tries to win her over, he also begins to form a bond with Ruby, showing her that there is more to life than just partying and indulging in vices. Throughout the film, Howard's character undergoes a transformation as he confronts his past mistakes and begins to take responsibility for his actions. The story explores themes of redemption, family, and finding one's place in the world, all set against the backdrop of the American Southwest. With its unique blend of drama, comedy, and poignancy, Don't Come Knocking is a powerful exploration of human nature and the power of second chances.

"Don't Come Knocking" 是一部关于往日黄金时代英雄式式下滑的电影。霍华德·斯宾斯（Howard Spence）曾是一位受人崇拜的西部片电影巨星，但如今他已深陷自我毁灭的漩涡，沉溺于酒精和毒品的堕落生活中。他恍然意识到，如果他突然离世，根本不会有人为他怀念或亲自吊唁。然而，他决定逃离疯狂的生活，潜入贫穷的布鲁姆菲尔德镇，对遭到拒绝的儿子和女儿尝试弥补。 Wim Wenders这部电影呈现了一幅对美国生活颓废的严峻画面。
