      "Driving Lesson": the perfect solution to the so-called "generation gap" problem in the grandparents

      Some things are always unexpected, just like the motivation for watching this film in the first place. I'm not a "Harry Potter" fan, so I don't know much about Rupert Grint, I just took a look at its name - "Driving Lesson". Like many movies that sell dog meat, this movie will not seriously tell the trivial experience of a middle school student learning to drive during the summer vacation. The plan can't keep up with the changes, and one little episode is enough to change everything. However,...

      Edinburgh in your heart

      Driving Lessons is first of all a film commemorating ROD HALL. The protagonist in the film is adapted from Rod Hall's original form, so after watching the film, I feel that the director is a bit old-fashioned - conservative mother + introverted son, paranoid child + eccentric personality The elderly, these are understandable, and let's not say whether these are old ways.

      Edinburgh is the central idea of ​​the film. It represents everyone's ideal. The protagonist Ben was repressed and...

      Ben is a poet.



      1.
      Ben is a 17 and a half year old boy. Christian.
      Ben is well-behaved, docile, shy, silent, and a good boy who listened to his mother until he was 17½ years old.
      Ben's mother is strong, but she is actually fragile. She just wants possession, she doesn't allow betrayal. But in fact she has been betrayal. She is enthusiastic about participating in all activities of the church and eager to help those in need. But in fact she has been destroying.
      Ben's father was a...

However, Ben forgets...

    Waters's performance is meticulous and immersive, making the audience full of disgust for the role, which is precisely the symbol of her successful performance, which can bring the audience directly into the play.
    Compared to the film Harold and Maude starring Julie Walters Harold and Maude, Gregory's Girl and Educating Rita (1983), perhaps the movie "Driving Lesson" is to a certain extent. Some step backwards. But it's fresh enough to...

    Actors

    The film stars Rupert Grint, who played Ron in Harry Potter . For child star-born Rupert Grint, appearing in "Driving Lesson" can be said to be an adventure and challenge. This is his first film after "adult". His increasingly mature acting skills have once again confirmed his talent as an actor, and it also indicates that his career path in the future is full of hope and harvest.
    Grint's light-heavy performance (like in "Harry Potter")...

    Movie quotes

    • Evie Walton: [Repeating a line from a TV series she did long ago] I'm a woman, Leland, not an oil tanker.

    • Evie Walton: Well, I make it a policy *always* to advertise in Hello Jesus. As a single woman, I am *acutely* aware of the dangers of sexual assault by younger men, though sadly, god is no longer the insurance policy he once was.

    • Ben: [Reading his poem to Sarah] You are the harvest, God's water on wheat. Birds fly for you, sing for you. Each wing a beat of my heart for you. Felt for you, my clay feet. I donot sing for you, donot fly for you. I'm not water, I'm not wheat. I would be dove, I would be hawk. Your milky breasts, my strange meat.
