The worst thing of being old...

Is to remember when you were young

Old american cowboy, wrincled eyes full of wisdom, white beard, bottles of beer, and of course the cowboy hat.

I don't know since when I became this wild adventure guy, but I know that when I'm old, I'm definitly gonna be one of those men, who cannot stand staying for comfortable bed and hot meals...even though I doute that I'd have my own mower trailer.

Road movies, always the best company for those who taste the air they are breathing in,loners...

when I first saw the old friends of Alvin, it reminds of these three old fellows in Forrest Gump, It's nice to have someone to grow old with.

Yellow and green, colors for death and life.

The Straight Story quotes

  • Alvin Straight: Well, they may be mad. I don't think they're mad enough to want to lose you, or your little problem.

    Crystal: I don't know about that.

    Alvin Straight: Well, of course, neither do I, but a warm bed and a roof sounds a mite better than eating a hot dog on a stick with an old geezer that's travelling on a lawnmower.

  • Alvin Straight: Can I help you, lady?

    Deer Woman: No, you can't help me. No one can help me. I've tried driving with my lights on, I've tried sounding my horn, I scream out the window, I-I roll the window down and bang on the side of the door and play Public Enemy real loud! I have prayed to St. Francis of Assisi, St. Christopher too-what the heck! I've tried everything a person can do, and still, every week, I plow into at least one deer! I have hit thirteen deer in seven weeks driving down this road, mister! And I have to drive down this road! Every day, forty miles back and forth to work! I have to drive to work, and I have to drive home!

    [she looks at the open fields around her]

    Deer Woman: ...Where do they come from?

    [she kneels down and checks the deer's pulse]

    Deer Woman: He's dead.

    [she walks back towards her car]

    Deer Woman: And I love deer!

    [she gets in her car and drives off]
