A little thought from the past

In the morning, I went to watch the movie "The Mule" alone, and was moved by the nearly 90-year-old old man.

Whether it's Earl Stone on-screen or Clint Eastwood off-screen.

He is ninety years old and can see better than anyone else; he is ninety years old and still can't really see clearly.

These two seemingly contradictory words are the true portrayal of Earl, the protagonist of the film.

In addition, two seemingly simple but powerful lines brought tears to my eyes. One was said by Earl's wife before her death: You are the love of my life and my pain of life. One is what Earl said to his family in court: I could buy anything, but I couldn't buy time.

In this case, we understand more or less, but only then do we really realize and really qualify to say it.

As for Clint Eastwood off-screen, he is almost ninety years old, but he is still struggling in the front line, taking on the three important seats of director, producer and starring in this film, and he is also reflecting on his life through this film. pay tribute.
