The suffering and warmth of life

Because I love the movie "The Cramers", I found another film "Nobody's fool" by director Robert Benton, starring the famous Paul Newman.

The movie takes place in the northern town of Bath, New York. The whole town is covered with thick snow, quiet and cold. The film revolves around Paul Newman, a construction worker who was lame due to a work injury. It narrates a series of realities between him and other people in the town, yet reveals a warm story.

For example, a pocket watch that brings courage, a conversation with his son before entering prison, a conversation with a grandson hiding in the back compartment in a restaurant, a conversation with a simple and honest Rob on the threshold...

Every bit is the essence of life.

Nobody's Fool quotes

  • Sully: Hang in there.

    Toby: 'Hang in there'? Is that the sum of your wisdom on the subject?

    Sully: That's the sum of my wisdom on most subjects.

  • [first lines]

    Miss Beryl: Mr. Sullivan.

    [banging on ceiling]

    Miss Beryl: Mr. Sullivan. God just took out Mrs. Gruber's bird bath!

    Miss Beryl: [to her husband's picture] He's getting closer Clive. Last year it was the street light at the end of the block, now it's Mrs. Gruber's bird bath. I think God's zeroing in on me. I have the feeling this is the year he lowers the boom.
