Driving Lessons is first of all a film commemorating ROD HALL. The protagonist in the film is adapted from Rod Hall's original form, so after watching the film, I feel that the director is a bit old-fashioned - conservative mother + introverted son, paranoid child + eccentric personality The elderly, these are understandable, and let's not say whether these are old ways.

Edinburgh is the central idea of ​​the film. It represents everyone's ideal. The protagonist Ben was repressed and withdrawn before he met the widowed retired actress Evie. It was not until he was tricked by Evie to Edinburgh that Ben's life began to change. First, Ben and Evie got closer because of the same hobbies - poetry and drama. Second, Ben's encounter in Edinburgh also made him grow up. Third, Ben really realized the road he was going to take in the future - the University of Edinburgh. So we have Mr. Rod Hall, who is highly respected in the film and television culture industry.

The title of the film, Driving Lessons, is also very expressive. First, the story begins when Ben fails to get a driver's license, and Ben's mother asks Ben to learn to drive with her throughout the summer vacation. Second, the second meaning of Driving lessons, the learning process. In the process of getting along with Evie, not only has driving skills improved, but life has also been moving forward.

Make your way to Edinburgh in your heart.
