I like this type of film very much, with beautiful scenery, warm and kind people, and straightforward stories. In the film, old Alvin Streit is very pleased with his trip with the lawnmower. OK, anyone would think it's a cool thing to do. (The look of old Alvin Street in the film shows his relief at the journey).
The most impressive thing in the film is the bright eyes of old Alvin Street. During the dialogue, he will inadvertently fall into meditation. This kind of meditation is difficult to perform. I think this kind of meditation is an actor. A kind of meditation in itself, the old actor Richard Farnsworth himself is 78 years old, and the process of filming this film is also Richard Farnsworth's examination of his life and his youth. The nostalgia of time, the reflection on the fetters in life. The film eventually became the legacy of Richard Farnsworth
At the end of the film, when he was about to see his brother's house, old Alvin Street began to get nervous. He called his brother's name twice outside the door. After the first Lyle was not answered, Lyle at the second sound was obviously a little worried, worried that his brother was gone, until the sound of "Erwin" came from the house, old Alvin Street was relieved, it turned out that his brother was still there. Let's talk about it again. There was a sound of "Erwin" from the elder brother in the room: the two brothers hadn't seen each other for many years, and the elder brother was seriously ill again. The elder brother could immediately tell within two sounds that it was the younger brother calling him, and Before leaving the house, he immediately called out his brother's name, which showed that his brother had been thinking about his brother all the time. He had long since let go of the unhappiness from many years ago, but he just couldn't find a suitable opportunity to hug. When the younger brother sat down, the tears kept rolling in his eyes. The elder brother was in a good mood. When the elder brother saw the lawn mower, he could no longer hide his emotions. Including regret for not seeing each other for more than ten years. The elder brother is asking, "You just drove that thing and ran all the way here just to see me",' the younger brother replied; yes, Lyle. I think this place has a sense of hierarchy, When Lyle asked questions, he was quite like an older brother, and his younger brother, Old Alvin Street, answered with his elder brother's name. I will cry first, because the elder brother is half the father and half the support to the younger brother, especially those brothers whose parents are neglected, and the younger brother is even more dependent on the elder brother. In the film, the younger brother Alvin Street sits There was emotional excitement and tears in his eyes. Brother Lyle was calmer until he saw the lawn mower shedding tears.
At the end of the film, the two brothers met is a very important part. Because the front has been paving the way for the emotions between the two brothers , when the last two brothers met was to make the audience's emotions explode, I was also in this part of the film, tears welling up in my eyes. I believe that the director tempered many versions in this last part, and then tempered this version. It seems very plain, but It condenses a lot of content and emotions.
This film also reminds me of my own brother, as the film says, after all, brothers are brothers, and this is the most important thing.
