Warm and beautiful.

Every time I saw a movie played by Morgan Freeman, my father had to add a comment: "Hey, this is an old actor, I have seen him play "Drive for Miss Daisy", it was great!".
I heard him say it many times.

I didn’t see this famous film until today. I always thought it was a light-hearted comedy, but after watching it, I realized that it was a serious mistake. This is a serious film and the best acting by Morgan Freeman I have seen so far. The film completely overturned the impression of him in the past.

What I see most is his role as the president, the detective, and the policeman, all of which are deeply introverted, calm and calm roles. Because it is a very old film, I thought I would watch a very young Freeman, but he was already old as soon as he appeared on the stage, and he was old when he walked, and his voice was not as low and dull as in previous films. The voice is slightly elevated or even a bit pointed. This is also the first time when I was watching a movie, I forgot that he was an old Hollywood movie player, the best supporting actor at this year's Oscar, but a loyal and honest black driver who drove for Miss Daisy.

Regarding Daisy, what I think in the future will be her exquisite hat and the phrase You are my best friend, that handshake, the only contact between the two in the play, I believe it also touched every view. The atrium of the shadow man!

And the flower tree in front of the door, is it cherry blossoms? The passage of seasons and the progress of time are all expressed through it, and that set of stacked shots is beautiful.

So when he finally visited Mrs. Daisy, who had already been admitted to the nursing home, the two elderly people were chattering with each other. He tremblingly forkped a piece of cake for her and fed it into her toothless mouth and eyes. I got wet unconsciously.

Although many places in the film show the class difference between blacks and whites in society at that time, I did not understand it very well, and even felt a little uncomfortable, who had received equal education since childhood. With a veil of warmth, we will discover that behind the "master-servant friendship" are American strict hierarchy and yearning for some good times in the past." Maybe this is true, but Freeman braved the wind and snow in the movie. Daisy sent hot coffee, it warmed you and me, and let us see that the sky is blue, the clouds are white, the friendship, love, and affection in life, and the world is beautiful. Even if you are facing the cold and cruel reality after going out, but for a moment, you really feel it, it's enough, isn't it?
