Mr. Stritt's story

Alden 2021-12-13 08:01:06

A road film with a novel style, based on facts adapted from news reports, makes it even more magical for the old man who drives a lawn mower to travel long distances and cross the interstate to make up for family affection. The film is smooth and comfortable, the natural scenery is beautiful and picturesque, all the points needed for the road film are well played, the bizarre is wrapped in reality, the absurd is a little helpless, some laughter, some warmth, and some hope. Richard Farnsworth's acting skills are praised, a stubborn old man who has experienced too much without losing humor, and that is probably the case.
The opening mirror is still a typical Lynch-style image psychology. The story is told but it is popular. It is not like Lynch's handwriting. At first glance, this is the real adaptation of the former Nebraska, the old man. Acting skills are really deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. The more you look back, the more you feel. The conflict in the road movie is flat and full of affection, and it is also a flavor. It keeps healing others all the way. Finally, the brothers solve the happy knot. There is a simple truth, goodness and beauty, which can be regarded as lynch right. A small breakthrough in the past, but I still prefer the sadness and humor of Nebraska.
