Morgan Freeman is a treasure in the American film industry. He creates classic characters and does not play bad movies. Driving for Miss Daisy is also an extremely good movie. Although the black driver Hawke in this article is only a servant, he shines with the light of honesty and simplicity in human nature, and finally won the lifelong friendship of the old Jewish lady Daisy. The most moving scene in this article is the scene where Daisy wronged Hawke for stealing food. Hawke's plain and simple attitude finally moved Daisy and won Daisy's respect. In our life, we will also encounter times when we are misunderstood by others, just like the driver Hawke. How to deal with misunderstandings, starting from this film, I will talk about my experience here.

The premise of being misunderstood by others is often a certain crisis in the trust relationship. This is also the theme and thought-provoking content of the film. The background of the film takes place in the southern United States with serious racial discrimination. Daisy, a wealthy Jewish old lady, is suspicious of Hawke, a black driver. Daisy's house has a lot of canned fish, but she counts them all, fearful of being stolen, full of vigilance. In this context, misunderstandings can easily occur. The black driver Hawke borrowing cans is a trivial matter, but in the context of this doubt, it has become a major crime of suspected theft. So when you are misunderstood, you should first calm down and realize that there is a certain crisis in the trust relationship between the two parties, and this crisis needs to be resolved. However, in real life, the misunderstood party is often unable to keep calm. If you can't realize that the root cause of the problem is that the foundation of trust has been damaged, just making excuses, from the perspective of the other party, is also sophistry and sophistry, which cannot play a real role.

If you have realized that there is a certain shake in the foundation of trust between the two sides, how to make up for it? The behavior of the driver Hawke in the movie has brought us a certain exemplary role. First admit what you have done, don't lie, and don't feel guilty. Speak calmly and reveal your feelings frankly. It would be great if there was evidence, like Hawke, that he was ready to return the can right away. When I was young, I often heard my father tell the story of my grandfather. His grandfather was labeled a counter-revolutionary during the Cultural Revolution, a status that aroused people's disgust. A worker in the factory lost 10 yuan, and immediately mistakenly thought it was his grandfather who stole it. Without any hesitation, my grandfather took out 10 yuan from his pocket and gave it to his co-workers. A few minutes later, the worker found the 10 yuan he had lost in his pocket and came back to apologize to his grandfather. Since then, the impressions of the workers on my grandfather have changed. We see the same story as Hawke's. In the unfavorable situation of being misunderstood, take the initiative to show your candor, so as to win goodwill and make up for the crisis of trust.

The last secret to resolving misunderstandings is tolerance. Hawke was misunderstood by Daisy, but instead of blaming Daisy for her harshness, she tolerated her petty temper and hoped that her honesty and sincerity would bring friendship to the two. Don't blame others for misunderstandings, which will only exacerbate those trust crises that lead to misunderstandings. Learning Hawke's calmness, sincerity and tolerance will allow us to use it in our own lives, and we can also shine the brilliance of our own humanity.

    【Exhibition at China Film Archive】Classic and tender old films. The graphics and music are very dated. The music is soothing and pleasant, and the picture seems to have a golden halo filter added throughout. The rhythm of the plot is neither rushed nor slow, and it took more than ten years to take it lightly. The 80-year-old Jessica Tandy is really good at acting, and she deserves the Oscar!

    In general, Zorba, the Greek, is not as wonderful, and it is right to win the makeup award. The heroine's introverted performance is better than the current drama, and the plot is conventional.
