One brush and two brushes

One brush: I didn't expect to see a road movie with a lawnmower on.

We all have a Don Quixote in our hearts, waiting for another Don Quixote to wake up.

Chat with me for a while, don't be nervous, it's nothing to be seen through, the deep night, the twinkling stars, the bonfire that lights and extinguishes each other, a glass of beer, consider yourself transparent at this time!

At the end of the journey, the dilapidated hut, two people are always brothers, after eye contact, all language is wasted.

I like this different David Lynch. In his heart, there should also be a Don Quixote.

Second brush: The film introduced by Godot, the first time I watched it, I felt the deepest warmth. Mr. Stryker's journey, whether he helped others or others helped him, made people feel the deep warmth. The second time I watched it, I paid attention to the structure of the film. I recently read a book "Story", focusing on analyzing a film from the screenwriter's point of view. This film is composed of 6 small paragraphs, each of which has The embodiment of the value of the story, Lu meets a runaway girl, expounds the concept of family, the cycling team is his examination of himself in his youth, the World War II veterans reminisce about the war experience together, it is a face-up and release of trauma, and the twin brothers and The pastor is an expression of brotherhood. After the progress of each chapter, Mr. Street's character image gradually became fuller. When Mr. Street and his younger brother finally met, the two did not have too many words. , it's just an eye contact. Thanks to the foreshadowing of the previous article, we can easily understand Mr. Street's mental state. At this time, no matter for the characters or the audience, the language is superfluous, and everything is silent. .

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]
