Perhaps, as McGranaghan commented, the beginning and progress of the film is fluent and smooth, but the ending is "missing", but the climax is indeed not at the end, just like the development of the preset pattern. The plot can be inferred how to end

but it should not be a reason to miss the middle plot. The

film has a lot of reasons. Excellent dubbing and dialogue. The picture is rich in color and dignified. To tell the truth, this is somewhat opposed to the dilapidation and decline of the southern American countryside in the film, but it promotes the formation of a strong atmosphere. Although the heat and humidity are claustrophobic, it cannot be ignored. A firmness is not negligible. pulling power in the build-up

Some critics said the film's story if reduced to writing their mood like most of Mike Carson • Lesi's novel "the same world people" (the Heart is a Lonely Hunter )

this book does not understand but at the same People who are looking for a sense of belonging often need a common reason to gather their eyes together. This reason in the film is the dead woman

who wrote a love song to Bobby Long, her daughter, her former lover, and the so-called follower of this lover. After she left, they met under the same roof and staged a lot of rejection and incongruity, but over time the three people began to permeate each other. The indescribable emotions blurred the angular boundaries and gave birth to a common existence. The reason



I like this film is to watch it as a true story. Since it is true, it can tolerate many flaws. An independent film that can be nominated for the Golden Globe (Scarlett Johansson deserves it) is not easy to



laugh at the end. Tell me about your feelings of watching movies, slowly accumulating emotions, I will cry

at a certain moment, I never missed you, at least what I missed is not you

************************ ********************************

Bobby's toast at the end of the celebration banquet points out the main theme of the film:

"We should not seize with exploration.At the end of our exploration, we'll be to arrive where we started, and know the place for the first time."
"We should never stop exploring, at the end of our exploration , We will reach the place where we started, and then learn about this place for the first time. "

There is also a passage that is very impressive on Bobby Long’s tombstone:
"And were an epitaph be my story
I'd have a short one ready for my own
I would have written of me on my stone:
I had a lover's quarrel with the world"
---Robert Frost

watched a lot of movies in recent days, but the good and the bad Some things will settle more or less, but some are very clear and some will fall heavily somewhere in the heart, but most of them are Gone With The Wind.

A Love Song for Bobby Long quotes

  • Lawson Pines: That girl looks so much like Lorraine. Remember the first time you took me to see her sing was my first time in New Orleans.

    [pause]

    Lawson Pines: I was so taken.

    Bobby Long: Well... you were kind of. You were kind of sheltered. Choked by that silver spoon.

    Lawson Pines: I thought she was so beautiful.

    Bobby Long: She was.

  • Bobby Long: [singing] Mother, go make my bed, / Make it long and narrow. / My true love died for me yesterday, / I shall die for him tomorrow. She was buried in a church house yard, / And he was buried there beside her. And from his grave grew roses red, / From hers grew green briar. They grew and they grew so very high, / Till they could grow no higher; And at the top grew a true lovers' knot, / Twined with green briar.
