Seventy-year-old Mr. Alvin Strait, after suffering a pre-stroke, decided to drive his lawnmower (his only powered locomotive) across continents to visit him, who was seriously ill for more than ten years. Brother Lyle, whom I haven't seen before. The lawnmower is equivalent to China's fire tricycle. Driving a lawnmower across continents for hundreds of kilometers is really a joke to others. But Alvin, a World War II veteran, bravely hit the road with his lawnmower. It’s really worth it to hit the road: the scenery of the countryside is so beautiful. In the continuous crop fields under the blue sky and white clouds, the crops are about to mature, and the yellow waves surge away to the sky. Along the way, the lawn mower, which has a heavy responsibility but is invincible, has attracted people's attention. Alvin met all kinds of things along the way. He helped others, and people helped him. This kind of circumstance comes to mind. Especially when the two brothers looked at the starry sky at night when they were young, the beautiful past often emerged. The vast starry sky is the god they worship, deep and broad. Looking up at the starry sky together is like a god-worship ceremony of their brothers, from childhood to old age. Irwin's journey is a journey to sum up his life. Although the journey was difficult, the two brothers finally met, and the two old men could face the end calmly. Not long ago, I watched the brain-burning film "Mulholland Drive" directed by Lynch, and I was full of doubts. Little did they know that the film he directed was so lyrical, and it was a kind of melancholy lyrical poem. The poetry was dense and deep. It seemed to be telling the truth, but it was full of wisdom and emotion. Warmth and the fruit of life bloom beautiful flowers in the persistence of the lawn mower. To be honest, I want to give ten stars to such a heartwarming movie.
