don't come knocking

Like most road movies and westerns, a movie that looks dull, slow and most likely has no ups and downs from beginning to end. When I watched this film, there were "Texas Paris" and "Broken Flower" running around in my head. Thank God it was not dull without them.

An old cowboy actor who eats, drinks, prostitution, and gambling is no longer a scene and has no family. He escaped from the set and returned to his mother’s house, whom he hadn’t seen for more than 20 years. He went out to play at night and was sent back by the police the next day. His mother just said faintly, "Did you have a good time last night?" ".

Then, when he knew that he had a child, he drove his father's car for a thousand miles in search of relatives.

I don't know what I want, I don't know what to do when I'm alone.

The son didn't recognize himself, and a girl who followed him holding the ashes was unexpectedly his other daughter. He found what he wanted, but he still didn't know how to treat it. Can only disappear quietly.

Then he was brought back by the detective, listened to his daughter say something else, left the car to his son, and the father turned his back at the wedding banquet and waved freely. It was also considered a joy to everyone.

There is a kind of person who is like this. He is good and charming, but what he does makes everyone sad. He can leave easily, and then appear peacefully. You have to forgive him helplessly. Hate him, miss him, look for him, and finally understand that he does not belong to anyone, so I can only send him on the road peacefully.

We call such people the prodigal son.

He sat on the sofa thrown out of the window by his son for one afternoon and one night, thinking about everything. In the middle of the night, he was accompanied by a wolf dog. It turned out that he was also a lone wolf.

The movie I bought because I saw Tim Roth has very few scenes and performances. When he is old, he looks a little blessed but is still so charming and typically British. He is still the man in the "Falling Water Dog", "Pulp Fiction" and "1900" I love.

That girl, Jasala Polly, looked familiar. She had acted in "Dawn of the Living Dead", and she almost had an angelic face with Cate Blanchett in "Little Fish".

The actors and actresses in this film are really good, and the music is also very good at country jazz.

Don't Come Knocking quotes

  • Earl: [singing] Where is Howard? Who is Howard? We wanna know, we wanna know. Where is Howard? Who is Howard? Where did he go, where did he go? He's down in the ditches. He's down in the ground. Disappeared himself. He's no-where to be found! Where is Howard? Who is Howard? He's long gone, he's long gone.

  • Howard Spence: Mind if I turn the radio on?

    Sutter: Yes, I do, as a matter of fact. I don't like outside influence.

    Howard Spence: Outside?

    Sutter: That's right. The world at large. It's a nasty place. Why allow it in? Livestalk reports, Navajo chanting, beheadings, bestiality. Nothing's changed. Black Death, the Inquisition, the Crusades, conquest of Mexico. What's changed?

    Howard Spence: I was thinking...

    Sutter: What?

    Howard Spence: I don't know.

    Sutter: Nothing's changed.

    Howard Spence: Guess not.
