The Straight Story

The Straight Story

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.

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]
