The Straight Story

When the candle of life is about to go out, what else do you want to do?
A peaceful life just looks peaceful. One phone call can disrupt everything.
In order to see the brothers, STRAIGHT can drive the lawn mower over the mountains. How many people can do it?
Underneath the seemingly crazy journey is the true feeling that blood is thicker than water. Young and vigorous behaviors will waste a lot of time, but as long as you realize, it's not too late.
The knot in the heart still needs someone to solve it when necessary, at least, it will be better if you say it.
The melodious guitar with a beautiful background is pleasing to the eye. It's rare to see David Lynch put away his weird way of thinking and shoot such a fresh and natural simple story.
A stick is easy to break, but a bundle is not easy. This story has been heard for many years. However, what I said from the old man's mouth today was a different taste. He said: "That's family."
Family, to me, is a strange term. I understand that he is my root and the only place I can rely on. But unfortunately, I just don't want to rely on it. This is the mindset of many young people, I know it. I don't want to claim that I am different from them, as if I am noble or smarter than them. I just know better than them what I am doing and the consequences of doing so. It is inevitable to leave home. Missing home is also inevitable. Every young person must pass this test to truly understand the meaning of home. I, so far, don't want to understand, so I have no plans to create a home.
But what the old man said still moved me. I don't understand how he moved me. Is it because of his age? What exactly is it? I really can't find the answer. Maybe it's just because I still rely on this home subconsciously.
