: Why did you drive this far? : I can't drive because of my bad eyes, and I hate people who drive, but I want to see my brother who has a stroke who hasn't spoken for ten years. : A kind person persuades a stubborn person. : If you had been in the trenches of World War II, you would have nothing to fear. The hitchhiker who was afraid to tell his family that he was pregnant, the farm family who helped repair the car, and the people who happened to meet at the cemetery, although they were all tools used by the protagonist to express his complicated life experience and truth, but when he confessed that he killed his comrades by mistake, he said that he This journey is for bridging the estrangement and summoning up the courage to meet my brother, it is not so far-fetched. More like atonement, and finding purpose and meaning. The most impressive is the lady who killed 13 deer in 7 weeks.

On the road, the best thing is the unexpected surprise, which is not found in ordinary life, but it is what people have always pursued.

    The whole film is full of sadness, and you can always see the imprint of "Wild Strawberry", which is a lifetime along the way. Such a warm and touching film, the scenery is like an oil painting, warm and peaceful, and a little humorous, it really doesn't look like it was made by David Lynch.
