The heart is a lone hunter

Before "A Love Song For Bobby Long" was released, the hottest movie in the theater was the new film "Je vais bien, ne t'en fais pas" based on the novel. The 19-year-old girl Lili returned from vacation in Spain. What awaited her was an accident-the twin brother Loic ran away from home. His parents went to the police station to report the disappearance. They filled out a series of forms to explain his physical characteristics as much as possible, and of course they would not forget to bring a recent photo on the table. The person who was missing called the hospital, visited the residence, and even found his friend to ask about the situation. Finally, the police announced that 5% of the missing persons each year could not be traced. He deserves to be included in it. Since then, Lili seems to have lost half of her soul. She is anorexic, anxious, and always afraid that Loic is no longer in the world. When Lili became more and more desperate, a postcard from Loic appeared. With the appearance of the second and third postcards, Lili's life began to undergo subtle changes...This delicate and peaceful film, with a touch of melancholy, broke the American film's entrenchment in the French box office rankings. After two months, the local film "Quand j'étais chanteur", which was shortlisted for Ghana, occupied the box office champion in the third week of September. At the end of the month, the American film "World Trade Center" broke through the siege of four French films with a slight advantage and won the top spot. The time in September passed extremely slowly, but after a light rain it suddenly accelerated. If "World Trade Center" reflects Americans' views on 9/11, then "Quelques Jours en Septembre" expresses the attitude of Europeans. It is a co-produced film from Italy, Portugal and France, and was shortlisted for the Venice Film Festival competition. The film proposes that the secret agents of the United States may have learned the news before 9/11. This bold assumption makes people feel "silent to hear the thunder."

I have seen the stories behind growth, encounters and horror events. If I have the opportunity to choose a movie that belongs to September, I still prefer "A Love Song For Bobby Long".

When the violet morning light rises from the grass, the wind blows the scenery that will not change for many years, and the ancient eaves are peaceful and serene. Even if you don’t like it, you have to admit that it’s beautiful. Such a place is like a mysterious woman, she will always affect someone's life.
The faltering Bobby Long pushed open the door of the small town bar again. He and his assistant Lawson live in seclusion in the small town. Bobby Long knows that there is only one real enemy of alcoholism. It is not liver cirrhosis, anxiety, cancer, let alone joblessness and dizziness, but tiredness, total exhaustion.
Every day, Bobby Long couldn't cheer up. He always has to wait for the alcohol to walk around in his veins, and the brain finally finds a reason to start working to cheer up a little. Today is no different from the past. Not only the dazzling sunlight outside the door, the swaying telephone poles, but also the wine in the bottle. All this reminded Bobby Long of how wild and unrestrained he was when he was young. Today, his body is cumbersome, his eyes are bleak, and he is still dragging a lame leg, like a poor worm on the verge of death.
Bobby Long carried the bottle, trying to forget everything again. Everything will stop one day so as not to resort to alcohol. Bobby Long is relieved of this. However, what he is worried about is still the occasional singing in his ears, "I call you in the dark, a hunter with a lonely heart... My heart is a lone hunter, with the only one Longing, looking for comfort in the lover’s fiery embrace... Thinking of this sound, he remembered the little light in Lorraine’s eyes. It is this characteristic that makes her especially charming. She once sang softly in the bar: I Her heart is a lone hunter, when there is no image of love before her eyes... Along with the singing, Bobby Long walked to the cemetery of the small town. Today, he came to attend Lorraine's funeral.

Because of her boyfriend's negligence, Pursy missed her mother's funeral. This makes the gap between them lost the last chance to bridge. One day, Pursy returned to the town. She was like an old little nobleman who had been wandering everywhere, renovating the past house to relive the lost peace. Former tenants Bobby Long and Lawson are indeed peaceful if they have not stayed in the house. The alcoholic Bobby Long harassed Pursy with his mouth full of dirty words, while repeating the profound motto. Pursy didn't understand how his mother could rent the house to such a person who was a pervert for a while and a god. As the time spent with each other prolonged, the answer to the puzzle gradually became clear.
When Pursy walked past the old station, the barge wall and the silent old banyan tree, the love song her mother wrote to Bobby Long echoed in her ears: I call you in the dark, a hunter with a lonely heart... .... My heart is a lone hunter, with my only longing, looking for comfort in the warm embrace of my lover..., my heart is a lone hunter, when there is no image of love in front of me ...Along with the singing, Pursy walked to the cemetery of the small town. Today, Lorraine's tombstone and Bobby Long's tombstone are nestled together.

This is a soothing story about finding and saving. The love and kindness that has been exhausted are curled up in a decadent middle-aged body, and the soul sings in a low voice: My heart is a lone hunter, when there is no love in sight. Image...Finally, Bobby Long said: We should never stop searching. At the end of our search, we are back to the beginning and understand it for the first time. "What is displayed on the screen is the hometown in the memory that has never disappeared. In such a place, in such a song, the natural forces that grow from the simple land quietly redeem the hunters.

A Love Song for Bobby Long quotes

  • Lawson Pines: Time was never a friend to Bobby Long. It would conspire against him, allowing him to believe in a generous nature and then rob him blind everytime. We'd lost Lorraine. All of us. But long before she died.

  • Georgianna: So now what? Lorraine finally kick ya'll out?

    Bobby Long: No... she never would. Besides, God wouldn't let that happen.

    Lawson Pines: Really? And why not?

    Bobby Long: Cause God knows me and I know God.
