Silent and speechless

"I have to continue on the road. I ride him through Iowa, hoping to get to Wisconsin. My brother lives there. I haven't seen him in 10 years. No one will know you better than your brother who is about your age. , He knows everything about you better than anyone... Brothers are always brothers."


"Mr. Streit's Story" can be regarded as the movie most unlike David Lynch's work. He is not like that. In "Mulholland Road" and "Monster Night Panic", there are weird atmospheres, chaotic narrative structures, tears between dreams and reality, self-righteous redemption, and even no dew point. He talked in such a quiet and plain manner, and people's watch and persistence of feelings were completely condensed in a journey of perseverance.





"There is no one in this world who knows you better than a brother who grew up together, and no one knows him better than you. I just want to be with him and look at the stars in the sky as I did in the past. , Talk to each other until we fall asleep.”


It seems that we are always easy to ignore the current life and the many good times. And when all the time has been disappointed and wasted, only a certain section can be taken out of memory, patted the dust deposited on it, and lamented that it is the best. ---- Qian Zhongshu
