"Mr. Streeter's Story" The work of the great director David Lynch, produced in 1999, adapted from a real story, the script was written, but the script seems to be non-priority, with simple dialogue, perspective on the state of the characters, not follow-through Teaching is a lifelong, emotional, concise, and varied experience. Life has come to this point, and there are all kinds of tastes. The skill is the director's, but the script is restrained. A road movie, I like to watch road movies the most. In fact, it points directly to the road of life. On the road, there is nothing more than the process of life. There are too many classic masterpieces, aren't they all road movies? The technique of this film is almost my favorite film technique, quiet, gentle, no story, not many words, just on the road, for a little thing, some little things happen, some little things end, some little things look for some little things, forgive a little thing Little things, redeem yourself. This film uses a calm and pure method to let the film progress and let time pass. The protagonist of the story, Mr. Street, a 73-year-old old man, and his slightly mentally handicapped daughter are dependent on each other. One day, he received news that his brother in the distance had a stroke , decided to go on the road to visit his brother who was far away. The story is so pure, the stubborn street, stubborn, hit the road with a lawnmower, he was old, and with limited legs and no driver's license, decided to use the lawnmower to drag luggage on the road, no hitchhiking, his own way , to complete the journey. On the way, I met a few people and talked with them. At this point in life, there is no problem that cannot be solved. Similarly, there is no solution in life, and I can only bear it by myself. There is no dog blood plot, only the warmth of life, the beautiful highways in the United States, the scenery is unobstructed, the sunset is in the west, the dawn is golden, the green trees are scattered, the deserted road, the unexpected heavy rain, the amazing soundtrack, Scotland The bagpipes, the beautiful and quiet guitar sound, the soothing piano sound, the setting sun, the drizzle and the wind, the trees and green grass, the old man's white beard, the wrinkles on his face, and the green lawn mower, set off together to form a scene The scenes of the curtain make up the movie. This is not a story, but a piece of life. Then, I met my younger brother and sat down together. I was relatively speechless. Has my life ended? I think, this is the chapter of life, both the beginning and the end, just like the sunrise and sunset, it needs a process, walking on my way, but that's it. A good movie, perhaps, after watching it, presents the thinking of the voice over the voice, and with the inner touch, the audience is intoxicated, that is, the picture is dark, the music is swaying, and the thoughts are full of thoughts.
