"The Story of Mr. Street", David Lynch's simplest and most innocent movie I've seen so far. Basically, there are no dazzling ingredients. A very honest story about an old man who is late and regrets the stupid things he did when he was young. Before his mobility and even his life will be completely lost, he stubbornly drives an RV pulled by a lawn mower and travels thousands of miles. A story about breaking the ice with a long-feuding brother. Slow tone, faint sadness, beautiful natural scenery after autumn, kind strangers, various unexpected encounters during the journey, the life state outlined by... The only thing that looks like Lynch in this film is the beginning of the film, Fat woman sitting in the sun in her garden. I liked it very much at the end, and finally the brothers met. My brother lived in a desolate and dilapidated log cabin. When he saw a younger brother approaching, he greeted him lightly. He glanced at the lawnmower RV that his younger brother drove over, and was slightly surprised. Then, the camera moved up and switched To the starry sky screen at night (the male protagonist's desire to go on the road is to sit with his brother again and watch the stars in the sky). This kind of light treatment, not too provocative, not long-winded, like it. However, the road trip shown in the film, I feel that there is some verbosity and editing mess. So although this film is warm and depicts some kind of human emotion worth staring, in my mind, it is still not the best David Lynch.
