Driving Miss Daisy (1989)

continue to watch the Oscar-winning film. The film won the Best Picture at the 62nd Academy Awards.

The movie is about the friendship between two old people. In the fifties, there was a stubborn old Jewish woman with a wealthy family and a stubborn character. Because of the age, the woman had an accident while driving, which made her son very worried. So the son who opened the factory found a black driver for his mother. The woman refused to accept the old age and insisted on not being a driver's car for a few days, but with the driver's efforts and persistence, the woman gave in. In this way, the driver took the woman to live for a while, but the relationship between the two was not harmonious. Until one day, because of a misunderstanding caused by a can, the woman discovered the advantages of the driver, and the relationship between the two eased. After a period of time, the driver took the woman to visit relatives and friends outside the continent, and the two gradually got to know each other. After more than ten years, everyone is old, and everyone lives as usual, but the woman has accepted the driver. One day, the maid who had been with the woman for many years died suddenly, making everyone very sad. After the funeral, the woman and the driver depended on each other to continue living. After another period of time, the woman suddenly became mentally ill, and the son had to send her to a nursing home. In a few years, the driver often came to see her, and the two chatted happily.

The story of this film is very simple. It shows the beauty of human nature through the ordinary friendship between two old people, showing the goodness of kindness and sincerity, as well as the good culture of traditional American society in the 1950s and 1960s. The plot of the film is simple and tells about the trivial matters of daily life, and these trivial matters are precisely the focus of the film. The movie perfectly expresses the theme of the movie through these trivial matters, and also strongly promotes the development of the plot. This is most evident in the changes in the relationship between the woman and the driver, such as changes in the woman's garden, changes in eating rules, changes in the content of conversations between the two, and so on. In short, the film shows the implicit friendship, respect and mutual care between the two old people through details, which makes the film look fresh, natural and warm, and can't help moving people. In the busy, rhythm of modern society, I'm glad that someone can make such a slow, comfortable movie.

In addition, there is nothing to say about this film, because it is too simple, even the friendship between two old people is ordinary and long-lasting. As for the slight mention of racial discrimination in the film, it is a brushstroke, and the film does not describe the complexity of it in depth. In short, although it is said that "the sunset is infinitely good, it is only near dusk", the friendship between the two old people in the film can be moved, and they die together with the dusk.

The filming aspect of the film is quite satisfactory, only the makeup of the actors impresses me deeply. Several main characters in the film have a wide age range, but with perfect makeup, they can really be fake, making the audience think that the characters have lived for decades. In addition, the music in the film is also worth mentioning, the melody is beautiful and the rhythm is lively, especially the music when the car starts is very imposing, like a march. Without such appropriate music, the film would not have looked so good.

The actors in this film are great. The male and female protagonists, Morgan Freeman and Jessica Tandy, have perfectly interpreted the characters, especially their aged appearance and delicate emotions, which are very convincing. Jessica Tandy, the old lady, is really good at acting, and she deserves the Oscar for Best Actress. Dan Aykroyd, who always wears sunglasses in "Fu Lu Shuang Batian", played a big dutiful son. Although he didn't make many appearances, he was very impressive. As for the others, they are all tricks, not to mention.

in conclusion. This is a movie that relies on ordinary characters, ordinary plots, and ordinary emotions to move people's hearts. After watching it more than once, I will still be moved when I watch it again. How can such a movie that can move people's hearts all the time, how can it not be a good movie? How could the audience not like it? How could it not win an Oscar?
