"The Story of Mr. Street"

I'm always attracted to the tunes of movies, I like road movies very much, and seeing this movie reminds me of "Love Before Memories". I also remembered the news from the previous paragraph, the story of a woman in her fifties who traveled the country by car after her children got married.

summary of the story:

73-year-old Street, who suffers from a series of complications such as diabetes, and his stuttering daughter depend on each other. One day, he received a phone call from Mount Zion, and learned that due to some things, he had separated from his brother who had not seen each other for more than ten years (Lai). Er) had a stroke and decided to drive alone to Mount Zion in a converted lawn mowing "RV". On the way, Street met various "passers-by", told them his story, and finally met his younger brother and repaired his relationship with Lyle.

1. When I watched this film, I remembered another road film "Love Before Memories". This is an elderly couple with serious illness who decided to travel in an RV. And this movie is about the seriously ill brother taking the initiative to start a journey of emotional recovery with his younger brother. When we are young, we all have the strength to get angry, leave, reckless, choose not to forgive, but when we are young, we understand the preciousness of emotions.

2. Street used his own experience to help passers-by, but he thought about the troubles passers-by were worrying about, and he also walked through it step by step. On the way, Street met a girl who was pregnant and left home, and told her that "the family may hate her, but they don't want her to die." Brothers, tell them "A brother's brother" and that's why he must go to Lyle in person; reconcile the past with the veteran he encounters and reconcile with the past.

3. I like the episode of the film very much, warm and indifferent! And the details that the lawnmower broke down when Street was about to arrive at Lyle's house, and at the suggestion of a passerby, it was able to start again.

    The most unpleasant thing about old age is remembering how you looked when you were young and strong. 1000000000000 stars! Favorite kind of road tune, favorite kind of road back music. This is the kind of road movie I like most. Often the real purpose of the journey is only a medium and a carrier. The two brothers only took three minutes from meeting to the end of the film, so what the director saw and felt along the way is the real director. something you want to express.

    In the work of David Lynch, a stubborn old man drove a weeding truck across continents and provinces to visit his brother who had a stroke. The journey was not too thrilling. Although there were setbacks, he drove slowly along the way. Meeting different people leaves behind a warm, moving and touching philosophy of life. The stubborn old man in the film is very kind, like Santa Claus, but he looks more than eighty years old, not like seventy-three, hehe~~ The old actor is amazing!

The Straight Story quotes

  • Alvin Straight: There's no one knows your life better than a brother that's near your age. He knows who you are and what you are better than anyone on earth. My brother and I said some unforgivable things the last time we met, but, I'm trying to put that behind me... and this trip is a hard swallow of my pride. I just hope I'm not too late... a brother's a brother.

  • Alvin Straight: Anger, vanity, you mix that together with liquor, you've got two brothers that haven't spoken in ten years. Ah, whatever it was that made me and Lyle so mad... don't matter anymore. I want to make peace, I want to sit with him, look up at the stars... like we used to do, so long ago.
