There are no big ups and downs in the plot setting and emotional changes, only the small things in daily life. The reason why it is eye-catching, in addition to the acting skills of the two old people, is the detailed descriptions that are very close to life, and the relationships between people revealed from them. warmth. When a movie has no omnipotent heroes, no sensitive sexual topics, no life-and-death love, no ketchup and petrol bombs, what can it use to attract people? After watching this movie you have to admire the screenwriter's ability to observe and refine life.
Needless to say, Morgan Freeman's acting skills are still so wonderful, but the stubborn little old woman is also very cute: she lives a simple life and does not show off her wealth; she has strict teaching qualities; although she is very old, she never admits defeat. Do not succumb to the years, self-reliance and self-improvement. All in all, the whole film is very successful in characterization.
The touching part of the film also lies in the unassuming true feelings between people. Although there are many contradictions between her and her son, they still tolerate each other (reflected in the tolerance of her daughter-in-law) and love each other; her relatives in her hometown, The harmony and happiness of the big family; he was outside and she was inside when he listened to Martin Luther King's speech, and his expression was restrained under such a passionate voice calling for freedom; after the death of the maid, she began to cook and work by herself, and Without anyone else, she said to him on a cold, cruel morning for the old man: Adela is lucky. Yeah, only they know how lucky it is to die suddenly while watching TV. In the end, she finally had to move in with her son, such an old but still clean and delicate old man, the dignity and respect she still retains is accumulated bit by bit in the previous years, this is an old man. The best thing that can be harvested later.
I hope that when I am old, I can hold someone's hand and say: you are my best friend.

    In the final analysis, it is still a master-servant relationship, but later it was gradually filled with feelings, and finally developed into a kind of interdependence in old age~ Many details can be seen in the discrimination against black people, and it also reflects the status of black people. changes in time. Overall, it is still a warm film, especially in the feeding scene at the end, the master is not the master, and the servant is not the servant anymore.

    In fact, the issue of race is not discussed in depth. The contradiction between the two is not magnified as in "Help", but the social state at that time is shown through some small details. Although Daisy and Hawke are in different positions and still have differences in ideology even in the end, the friendship they have along the way is based on kindness and tolerance.
