To tell the story, the story of this movie is not complicated, but after watching more Oscar films, I understand that the judges pay more attention to the values and sense of reality conveyed in the film.
Personally, I think that the essence of the story lies in Morgan Furth. A quote from Liman:
You need a driver, and God knows I need a job, so why don't we just let it be like this?
Many people talk about class conflict, racial discrimination, etc., but that is not the point of...

Often times, the issue of race is a sensitive topic.
Hitler hated the Jews, and Christians also believed that the Jews were the ones who put Jesus on the cross, so the Jews were massacred and discriminated against. In the United States, black women can marry white men, but white women rarely marry black men - this is somewhat similar to the idea of Mr. Fang in "Besieged City": "Marrying a daughter must be better than my family, and marrying a wife must be inferior to my family."...

The whole film is as relaxed as her background music, soothing and full of warmth; the setting of the scene is also extremely simple, the home and the road; the character setting is also very clear, a wealthy old Jewish woman + an elderly black driver. But such a succinct setting does reflect one of America's most profound problems—the problem of race.
I like this way of expression very much. It reflects the problems that the director wants to explain from the bits and pieces of life, and...

Driving for Miss Daisy is the kind of movie that would miss a lot if you look at it at first glance. The whole story is strung together with incoherent but continuous life clips. The characters' personalities and emotional exchanges permeate from every little detail. , warm. Graceful, sensitive, stubborn, kind, I love Miss Daisy, I hope I can be like her when I get old. The accumulated emotions were vented in the final scene. 25 years of mutual company and mutual understanding enabled them to...

In fact, when I saw the title of this movie, I didn't really want to watch it. There was no way I could watch it because the teacher arranged it in class. The film tells the story of an old Jewish woman and a black driver. Watching it patiently, at the end, I can only say that I neither hate nor like this movie, but I don't have much feeling, the pace is too slow, and there are not too many waves. (But I like the old actor Morgan Freeman very much)
No matter what kind of movie it is, as...

The director's taste is very high. The plot is divided into several incoherent stories, but each segment is handled well, touching on sensitive topics. There are also two acting skills, and they seem to be praised as if they have never seen the...

Good-looking A~ Before I watched it, I always thought that this kind of movie might be unwatchable after half of it, but it was always the other way around. And it makes me miss it, will go back to see it again....

I don't know much about the historical background. Although I watched this film with infinite reverence, I didn't feel too deep. The four old ladies playing mahjong surprised me,...
Daisy Werthan: [Looking at map] Here. Here. You took the wrong turn at Opelika.
Hoke Colburn: Well, now, you took it with me, Miss Daisy, and you got the map.
Daisy Werthan: [Stepping into the kitchen] And don't make a mess of those peas, Idella.
Idella: [Under her breath] Do I ever?
Hoke Colburn: [seeing Boolie in his office after his trip with Daisy to Mobile] It's Mr. Sinclair Harris, sir.
Boolie Werthan: My cousin Sinclair?
Hoke Colburn: It's his wife... the one that talk funny?
Boolie Werthan: Jeanette. She's from Canton, Ohio
Hoke Colburn: Well, she's tryin' to hire me!
Boolie Werthan: What?
Hoke Colburn: Yessir, she said, 'how they treatin' you down there, Hoke?' You know how she sound, like her nose stuffed up. So I said, 'fine, Mrs. Harris, just fine, thank you.' She said, 'Well, you lookin' for a change, you know who to call.'
Boolie Werthan: I'll be damned!
[slams desk, gets up and paces around office]
Hoke Colburn: I thought you oughta know about it.
Boolie Werthan: I'll be goddamned!
Hoke Colburn: Ain't she a mess? Said, 'name your own salary'.
Boolie Werthan: I see. And... did you?
Hoke Colburn: Did I what, sir?
Boolie Werthan: Name your own salary!
Hoke Colburn: Oh now, go away. What you think I am? No, I ain't studying about workin' for no trashy somethin' like her!
Boolie Werthan: But she got you thinking, didn't she?
Hoke Colburn: Well, sir, you might say that.
Boolie Werthan: Name your salary.
Hoke Colburn: That's exactly what she said.
Boolie Werthan: Well... how does $65 a week sound?
Boolie Werthan: Sounds pretty good, sir! Course, $75 sounds better.
Boolie Werthan: It sure does! Beginning this week.
Hoke Colburn: Well, that's mighty nice of you! I sure appreciate this. Thank you!
[gets up to leave, then turns to Boolie]
Hoke Colburn: Mr. Werthan, you ever have folks fighting over you?
Boolie Werthan: No.
Boolie Werthan: It sure feels good!
