What moves people is often the plain truth

I really like this kind of simple and deeply touching story. I cried three times during the process. The first time was when Street told the story of his daughter to a girl who ran away from home at night. The second time was a conversation with an old man who had been through World War II with a broken engine. The irreparable mistakes that Street has made, the pain caused by the war will never be repaired, but still have to face life~ The third time is the end, even if his brother saw him, both of them were speechless , and then my brother said, "Did you drive this shit so far just to see me?" But in fact, all the grievances and grievances have been resolved, from the eyes, from the expressions~

In fact, this road film is very special. Along the way, it is not the protagonist's harvest and growth, but his influence and healing of passers-by, including a girl who ran away from home, an old man who wanted to borrow wine to forget the pain of World War II, and finally replace him Brothers who repair lawn mowers, they both grew up when they met Street.

In addition, this movie also gave us more faith, insist on doing one thing, understand what we really value, what we want to pursue and realize it. Even if it was just a lawn mower, it had traveled more than 300 miles and finally reached its destination. Street finally saw his brother and resolved the grievances of ten years. Today’s society is always looking for efficiency, and many times I don’t think about what I really want in my heart. In fact, it’s good to slow down. The scenery along the road in the movie is beautiful, and the music is also very good. Although the rhythm of the movie is gentle, it is really Great ⊙▽⊙

Oh, reading this reminds me of a book "Pilgrimage Alone", which is also recommended by everyone. It is also a healing on the road~

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.
