"Driving Miss Daisy", a movie with the elderly as the subject, is very influential
, and it is a "respect for the old" starring the elderly.
.
"Driving Miss Daisy", through a master-servant relationship between an elderly widow and a loyal black man, reproduces the characteristics of the change in race relations in the southern United States over the past 25 years. From the beginning to the end of the movie, there are no vigorous dramatic conflicts and exaggerated scenes. It relies on the meticulous and full performances of two old actors to hold up a calm and moving story.
"Driving Miss Daisy" has extraordinary appeal. This is because although the film is unpretentious and the transitions between paragraphs are quite smooth, it gives an unexpected and magical blow at the end. It is a textbook that shows that even with the most common exaggeration, superficiality can be turned into profound. It also shows that as long as there is a sincere, humane and cleverly conceived script, there is a group of actors who are skilled and understandable, and a director who is meticulous, passionate, and has a first-class vision to fully reflect any detail. A film with insufficient plot can be greatly enriched by convincingly charming and plump characters.
"Driving Miss Daisy" is an authentic "small" story. Although this "small" story is often ruthlessly swallowed by the big screen, its power ultimately proves that it fills the screen all the time. In the era of war films and big empty films where the plot does not rely on superheroes and huge stunts, people can comfortably say that the long-satisfying film is a calm and simple description of people and their interactions. Story, a film that presents the brief but glorious moments of life.
