The rest of my life is poor, just to finish the road in my heart.

"The old man with limited mobility has spent the rest of his life,

Just to finish the road in my heart. "

ˉ

After saying goodbye to his mentally handicapped daughter, the old man decided to drive a lawnmower and drag his RV to visit his younger brother who had not seen a stroke in ten years, more than 400 kilometers away. Along the way, he encountered a throng of young cyclists whizzing past, and he persuaded the runaway girl to make her return home. He also encountered temporary shelters from good-hearted people, but he did not accept extra help from others at will. On the way, he remembered the things he used to be young, and he poured out his regrets with strangers in bars on the road...

ˉ

The scene of seeing my brother is a tearful episode, and there is no more brief and powerful dialogue than this. At the end of the starry night, the film ends, and then I know the meaning of the same shot at the beginning of the film.

——● The 24th part of the 2021 movie

× "The Story of Mr. Street" ●——

Ps. It's a pity that the actor who played the old man actually shot himself a year later. I like his bright eyes, which fit the image in the film.

ˉ

The soundtrack is very nice, the scenery along the road is so beautiful, and the old man's behavior is stubborn, stubborn and cute, which really makes people cry and laugh.

The Straight Story quotes

  • Alvin Straight: Well, they may be mad. I don't think they're mad enough to want to lose you, or your little problem.

    Crystal: I don't know about that.

    Alvin Straight: Well, of course, neither do I, but a warm bed and a roof sounds a mite better than eating a hot dog on a stick with an old geezer that's travelling on a lawnmower.

  • Alvin Straight: Can I help you, lady?

    Deer Woman: No, you can't help me. No one can help me. I've tried driving with my lights on, I've tried sounding my horn, I scream out the window, I-I roll the window down and bang on the side of the door and play Public Enemy real loud! I have prayed to St. Francis of Assisi, St. Christopher too-what the heck! I've tried everything a person can do, and still, every week, I plow into at least one deer! I have hit thirteen deer in seven weeks driving down this road, mister! And I have to drive down this road! Every day, forty miles back and forth to work! I have to drive to work, and I have to drive home!

    [she looks at the open fields around her]

    Deer Woman: ...Where do they come from?

    [she kneels down and checks the deer's pulse]

    Deer Woman: He's dead.

    [she walks back towards her car]

    Deer Woman: And I love deer!

    [she gets in her car and drives off]
