The use of film texts to express racial issues does not have to use bitter stories and angry words. It can also be presented in a subtle and silent way, which can not only dispel the heaviness of racial issues, but at the same time not lose face and reflection. Solemnly.
"Driving for Miss Daisy" centers on a year-long friendship between a pair of elderly people, showing the discord, understanding and identity between blacks and whites. Mr. Hoke, played by Morgan Freeman, is kind, optimistic, lively and lovely. A person with a low laugh point not only lives easily, but his laughter also conveys positive emotions to those around him. Hoke's optimism and laughter virtually changed Miss Daisy's dull and indifferent life.
Friendship can transcend race, kindness can eliminate discrimination, love, optimism and persistence can tear down the walls between people. The bright line of "Driving for Miss Daisy" is friendship and the dark line is race. The two lines go hand in hand and show each other.
I really like this kind of slow-paced movie that seems like a long time. Because watching a good movie is like taking a wonderful trip. Only by slowing down your steps and sinking your soul can you appreciate the beautiful daily life in trivial life, as well as the ever-changing and difficult-to-capture life experience.
