the straight story

The name David Lynch reminds me of all the damp and heavy, dirty hearts and red full moons, very gothic. I miss this dull skit even more. The old man Alvin Straight has no driver's license and has inflexible legs and feet. After learning that the old man had a stroke, he drove the lawn mower on the road, regardless of the persuasion of his family and friends. He just relied on it. This weeder, which was produced in 1966, may be paralyzed at any time from Iowa over hundreds of mountains and across the Mississippi River to Wisconsin, reconciling with the old man who had not spoken for ten years by traveling alone. The wild scenery is a feast for the eyes, the golden corn fields are rolling under the sky, the waves of the rice fields are bathed in the morning sun, and the old man who outlines the silhouette is only obsessed with the road lying in front of him. The director constantly compares him with the young, speed, and speed. Cars, racing drivers whizzing by, and even the brashness of young brothers bickering. Old age means forgetting, weakness, and dependence. He hates aging, but this does not hinder the accumulation of wisdom. The girl tells the true meaning of home. The

film uses a large number of fusion lenses, and it is very comfortable to fade in and out. On the one hand, it creates a natural visual effect, on the other hand, it also implies that all pains and pains will be resolved in the end, as long as the heart is open and hopeful. Straight has such a dignity, gentle and cunning persuasiveness, which is related to the years. The most outstanding part of the film is the end. When the two meet, they are very calm, until the old brother's eyes slowly move to the weeder, and he asks: "You Is that one to see me?" "Yes." The old brother's facial muscles couldn't stop twitching, violently suppressed and finally brought out a line of old tears. That is a face that has been dry for many years, even if it rushes through the lava, I still look for it now. The face without ashes and without facial expressions is vividly revived at this moment. The camera shakes and cuts into the sky full of stars, echoing the beginning, the end. The film was released in 1999, at the end of the century when the end of the day was full of emotions, and David Lynch gave it to him. Our tender gift. the straight story, a straight story.
