soothing warmth, Reivew on Driving Miss Daisy

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 also gives the viewers a sense of substitution.
The rhythm of the film is slow and there is no climax, but it is very comfortable to watch. There is no impatience and dissatisfaction, just slowly feel the change in the relationship between the woman and the driver with the movie.
There is a kind of aftertaste and a kind of wish at the end of the film. I really hope that Daisy and Hawke will grow old together like this.
