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 this story. At that time, white people did have more wealth, and it was common for black people to work for white people in order to survive. This is the reality, even if Complaining is also difficult to change
. In the story, Hawke was hired as a driver, and although he was also affected by prejudice in social consciousness, he always maintained his dignity, did his job well, and ultimately shared with the employer. Miss Daisy became a "best friend"
and in the process, Hawke also bought an old Hudson, and later her granddaughter became a teacher, and Miss Daisy went from poor to teacher to eventually Wealth
may be a tribute to the capitalist employment system, that is, on the basis of equality of personality, employed people can also become rich through their own efforts, and even become friends with their employers. It is a refutation of Marx: the rich have wealth, and the poor need work, this is God's arrangement, why not let it be like this? As long as you can be free and equal in personality, it can be a beautiful thing, and this movie is proof of that
