plain friendship

In fact, it cannot be said that it is love or friendship. The bland communication between the two old people reflects the sublimation of each other's feelings. The film has no twists and turns, no complicated character relationships, but simply and calmly narrates an old black driver Hoke and him. The trivia of life between the old and stubborn Miss Daisy. The story is set in the 1950s-1970s, and if it weren't for the casual glance of the camera at the Christmas card on the table, I was completely unaware of the time span of more than 20 years. I really like the feeling of this kind of light and long flowing water, and inadvertently, time has passed. . .

    It's almost the same way as "intouchables", it all relies on a detailed script + credible performances/actors (it will become an interracial twilight love melodrama if you work harder... It's similar, only no one objected). The main actor is eighty years old ("Bird"), and his temperament is too good. Mahjong? Is it a buddy?

    The script has tension and emotion, how can we not be moved? Racial discrimination is the selling point. It is rare for a Jewish old woman and a black man to ride in the same car, let alone under the same roof, and friendship has grown over time. Another type of mutual support is to discover each other's good points, tolerate shortcomings, and exaggerate strengths. After all, at some point in life, it is difficult to find someone who is chatting, chatting, and talking.
