I think "Mr. Stewart's Story" is Lynch's brightest and warmest film. I was a little surprised when I was watching this movie, "This is really a Lynch movie?!" I was even a little skeptical. It's such a heartwarming film, with no plot twist, no bizarre death, no thriller vibe. This is a very simple story. Mr. Stewart, who is in his 70s, has poor legs and eyes and can't drive. He did drive a lawn mower to visit his brother who was far away. His brother suffered from a stroke. And they haven't seen each other for a long time because of the contradictions in their youth.
Lynch made this movie so beautiful, a winding country road with mature wheat fields on both sides reflected in the golden sunlight, a strong old man with his firm shallow smile, driving slowly beside the road . What I saw was his hopeful eyes, and what I felt was his old and never despairing heart. How far away can he block the sincere feelings of his relatives? What's more moving than the uncontrollable tears when family members are reunited? Mr. Stewart's smile is a smile that has gone through the vicissitudes of life and has experienced wind and rain. So simple, so firm.
One day we will eventually grow old, I just want to remember the golden warm sunshine in the years when I am not old.

    #Northern Film FestivalRewatch# Adapted from a true story. This is David Lynch's most refined, humane and uplifting film yet, all in the rhythm of rural American life. At 15:14, thunder roared in his ears, and the old man sitting upright looked like a god. At 1:20:20, when he killed the scout, his heart was dead and his thoughts were gone. 1:26:28, the moment I wanted to see my brother, my heart was born. 1:47:12, looked at each other silently, tearful eyes, just to accompany my brother to see the stars once.

    Although I almost fell asleep when I watched it, it was really just because I was too sleepy and the light from the classroom without subtitles made me drowsy, but it was still very good to watch. The point is the authenticity of the story! ! !

    Alvin Straight: Well, you're a kind man talking to a stubborn man.

  • Alvin Straight: The worst part of being old is remembering when you was young.
