the courage to walk away

I used to listen to the song "I Want to Go to Guilin". When I have no money, I have time, and when I have money, I have no time. It truly expresses our helplessness towards the outside world. But in fact, as long as you go out, nothing can stop you. This is my inspiration for watching "Mr. Streeter's Story". He is more than 70 years old, sickly, with bad eyes, wide bones, etc. He has a mentally handicapped daughter at home, and he has no money, no driver's license, etc. There are many reasons for not going out, and no one will blame him. For him, it is only for the brotherhood and inner liberation in his heart. Along the way, the difficulties the film describes are only a small part of it. Once on a slope, I almost died. What if I get sick, is there anyone to take care of me? In fact, there is no need to think too much before the trip. The boat will naturally go straight to the bridge. Maybe the unknown difficulties are also the surprise and experience of the process. You have already estimated the itinerary, so what's the point of such an itinerary. I don't like fortune-telling, I just don't want to know what my future will be like, I hope there will be miracles and accidents. . . But my current life, repeated every day, is as tasteless and tasteless as tasteless, but I have to succumb to such a life. When can Mr. Street have the determination and stubbornness to really do what he wants to do.

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! ! !

Love this kind of video, warm. No matter where you are or what age you are, just pack light and do what you want. It's okay to be slow. In this era of efficiency in everything and everyone racing against time, the clear, slow pace of this movie makes me feel comfortable and happy. The old man smiled at everyone along the way, and the people he met were either moved by him or offered a helping hand. The relationship between people is so pure,

Alvin Straight: There's no one knows your life better than a brother that's near your age. He knows who you are and what you are better than anyone on earth. My brother and I said some unforgivable things the last time we met, but, I'm trying to put that behind me... and this trip is a hard swallow of my pride. I just hope I'm not too late... a brother's a brother.

Alvin Straight: Anger, vanity, you mix that together with liquor, you've got two brothers that haven't spoken in ten years. Ah, whatever it was that made me and Lyle so mad... don't matter anymore. I want to make peace, I want to sit with him, look up at the stars... like we used to do, so long ago.
