The old truck man who appeared several times in the play should be a former resident, and he was reluctant to leave, so he often wandered there, and when he saw someone coming to repair the road, he thanked him with wine. That old lady was the soul of his dead wife. The old man couldn't see her, and when Alvin talked to her in the ruins of the house, the old lady said "it takes time to accept" "like picking up my ashes". Before the ending, Alvin also realized that the old lady was a soul, and the old man could not see it, so he asked the old man, "If there is a woman in the car, would you be nice to her?" The children playing in the ruins at the end are also dead souls. Including the old lady, there are exactly four people, that is, four people died in the fire mentioned at the beginning of the film.
Alvin and Lance have opposite life attitudes. Alvin is conservative and hopes to make his loved ones happy through hard work, even if he suffers, but in the end he is abandoned. So he chose to compromise and decided to let Lance take him to find fun.
And Lance's life is rotten, without responsibility, without seeking progress. Influenced by Alvin along the way, he never understood to learn to reflect. When he knew that he had grown a 47-year-old woman's belly, he finally wanted to raise the child.
The message of the film is to cherish life, life and people, to choose a pleasant way of life, but to be responsible.

    In the increasingly politicized and morphological creative environment of contemporary America, there are very few films that can focus so purely on humanistic ecology. Those casual emotions constantly switch topics under the balance of interactive texts in space. It is about knowing and confessing oneself, and rejecting materialized life, but when the ruins and the image of the old woman come into view , I know it is more important to save the historical memory that is about to be forgotten. ★★★★

    David Gordon Green is much better at making literary films than making comedy films. The film deliberately weakens the narrative and uses soft photography to combine the two protagonists with nature. The quietness away from the hustle and bustle is like a catalyst. Let the whole movie exude a charming atmosphere, and the design of the truck driver and the old lady adds a little mysticism, especially Paul Rudd's performance in the ruins.

  • Truck Driver: Now look here, buddy. If there'd have been a lady in my truck, I'd hold on tight. I wouldn't let her go.

  • Lance: I get so horny in nature...
