Ben is a poet.

1.
Ben is a 17 and a half year old boy. Christian.
Ben is well-behaved, docile, shy, silent, and a good boy who listened to his mother until he was 17½ years old.
Ben's mother is strong, but she is actually fragile. She just wants possession, she doesn't allow betrayal. But in fact she has been betrayal. She is enthusiastic about participating in all activities of the church and eager to help those in need. But in fact she has been destroying.
Ben's father was a missionary, but he had no voice at home. He couldn't help him convince his mother that he was going to go camping. He just basks in the insect book every night. He learned the pronunciation of lark, but he has never seen a real lark.
Eve says Ben is a poet. Because he can understand the power of words.
Eve is a neurotic little old lady, eccentric, and occasionally steals small things. He used to be an actor, he has also done a TV show, and he has a large number of fans. Married three times, but not for long. Had a child who died of meningitis at the age of two. Eve lives alone in an empty house and has a small garden. She is either drinking heavily or shouting "FUCK" to the plants while pruning the trees that are hard to prune.
Ben finds Eve through an agent from a job advertisement in the newspaper to take care of her house.
They later became friends.
Eve said to Ben, I need you. I can't do it without you.
Ben said to Eve, I need you. you are my friend.

Now the music has been looping is "Forever at Your Feet". There was rustling rain, a low muffled thunder, and then a slow female voice.
These intertwined sounds flow from the speakers.
Tonight, I only talk about movies. "Driving Lesson".
Maybe I should sleep. But I always feel that there is something in my heart that I can't let go. Because maybe after tonight I'll be more lazy to organize my thoughts about the night and leave nothing. Then tomorrow or tomorrow's tomorrow, many tomorrows, I will complain that I can't hold on decisively. There have been many things that have passed away in such laziness or senselessness. And I finally don't want to be wasted anymore.
So, I typed these words.

I am a poet and I understand the power of words. Ben said later.
He finally stopped being a tree. He finally stopped listening to his mother unprincipled.
He finally became an adult. He stopped writing strange poems to girls he had a crush on.
He studied Shakespeare, which Eve liked, and wrote a free poem for Eve.

Some fans I'll never understand why the days are shorter
after the summer and everything is so quiet I put down the phone and turn the corner from the street to the future, it's another world we'll never know what we'll never know except, Whoever you are, whoever I am, you make me feel so good to be who I am . 5. Ben pitched a tent in his garden. Ben yelled at his father, why are you so cowardly, you should have filed for divorce. His father said slowly, in fact, it was me who proposed it. I'm afraid you won't understand. Ben said, I was in Scotland and saw a lark. His father said, I love you. deeply love. Ben bowed his head and nailed the pegs, saying, I love you too, Dad. 6. I found that I still can't talk about this movie properly. I can't say how much I love it. However, it is an inner identification. A hidden power. an infiltration. penetration. Beautiful picture. beautiful music. Reminds me of the feeling of Little Miss Sunshine from time to time. Nothing to do with the plot, just the picture. Just the feeling of the road. garden. Edinburgh. Countryside. Lake in the morning.



























Music at the end of the film. It turned out to be "A Friendship Lasts Forever", Scottish bagpipes, violins, and other musical instruments that I couldn't name, and a band of people on the street was playing.
Ben put a few coins in their hats.
He walked across a large field of grass. Black suit, white pants. Close-up, long-range, background, zoom out, blur.
There is a castle in the distance. lake. high-rise.
Finish.

7.
Ben has short blonde hair.
When I loaded the disc, I found out that he was the little boy who played Harry Potter.
The genre of the film is indicated as comedy.
There is definitely a comedic element. But if you think it's the kind of comedy that makes you laugh, you're wrong.
I did laugh a few times.

Driving lessons.
Life is confusing.
