Presumably, the elderly Eastwood must have other feelings about such a movie. "The Mule" has a simple plot but is not touching. What is this touching point? Yes, it is time. Hopefully this Aside from the criminal element, the film is left with a person's reflection on time, which can be seen as a semi-autobiographical portrait of the director himself. "I can buy anything, but I can't buy time." Yes, the old man did buy a car with money and attend his granddaughter's wedding, but he couldn't buy time, and he couldn't buy his ex-wife, who died of illness.
This is also true. There is no unique technique in the movie that directly hits the heart. The whole film starts with a simple story and ends with a "time" familiar to the audience. It must be more direct to the heart of the audience than many movie techniques! This film, I believe Different ages also have different feelings. At least at my age now, I have experienced relatives and time, which is enough to move me. The movie seems very depressing, but the ending is quite bright. The male protagonist has finished letting go of the past. He was in harmony with his family, and he finally knew what he wanted most and was at the end of the story.
