simple but profound

Maybe it's not that we all lost our trust in love, it's just that we were once hurt too deeply by love.
When Budd finished a motorcycle race, a man put away his car and drove his battered van, and it seemed that his grief was gradually oozing.
The way the film is shot is very realistic, and the camera is always wobbly, as if the viewer is walking with Bud.
Bud was driving most of the time because he was going to race in California. However, in the process, he found countless women, but all of them were only a few tastes. The more he wanted to forget, the more engraved in his heart, the more he wanted to use others. The more you replace, the more nameless disgust you get.
Most of the time, Bud is driving alone, accompanied by slow music, and the lyrics are like telling Bud's mind.
However, how can a man express the anguish in his heart?
He was extremely lonely, but only his true love could make him no longer lonely. But Daisy is dead.
He didn't want to face it, he had to face it, he chose to forget, but it haunted him every day. He hallucinated Daisy to come back and explained to him the reason for her death. He carried the guilt and resentment towards Daisy forever...

But I want to say, it's actually just a story, a love story, just a story. This man's pain will always be staged, it's just a matter of the length of time. The love between people in this world is temporary, no one will love someone forever. So, everything should be looked at.
