/Capa's Lens
Miss Daisy is a stubborn, strong and assertive Jewish widow. With white hair, she drove the car into the neighbor’s garden early one morning. Her adult son had to summon the courage to say to her always stern and stubborn mother: "My dear, I think you have to get Ask a driver to drive for you."
Despite Miss Daisy's reluctance, the old black driver Hawke came to her home. At first Miss Daisy was unwilling, picky, and dissatisfied with this strange "invader". From distressing his son's wages, he got into the car that Hawke drove in a fit of anger, and this time, the two had 25 years of friendship between them.
The 80 minutes of the movie "Driving for Miss Daisy" is composed of small details of life: how did Miss Daisy quarrel with Hawke, and how did Hawke calm down Miss Daisy's anger wittily Ah, how did Miss Daisy accept Hawke’s friendship but she refused to admit it? This film tells the story of an elegant old man, like an old grandmother wearing reading glasses and opening a slightly yellowed album in the sun, pointing at the characters on it, and telling you those interesting and vivid anecdotes.
In the eyes of children with a lot of youth and time, getting old is a word that is too remote and too cruel. Even if we are not necessarily beautiful or famous, we also don't want to be late and whitehead. Many children must have said in the worst grades that when I pass xx years old, I will die, which will freeze my best years.
And if you finish "Drive for Miss Daisy", I think many people will feel that sometimes, getting old is also a kind of happiness.
Our Miss Daisy pays attention to her appearance all her life, and she never wears inappropriate clothes to meet people. She must be like a queen of England when she goes out. Hats, handbags, and gloves are essential. Occasionally, I am confused when calling my son in pajamas, and I must deliberately emphasize that I am not paying attention to etiquette, but "extremely angry!". There was a poem jokingly in the ancients, "The grandmother is still a young woman, and she is not allowed to look at her without combing her hair." The description of Miss Daisy could not be more appropriate. Because of these small reservedness and elegance, Miss Daisy's small awkwardness, small affection, and even some small shortcomings are so cute.
That day Hawke was with her to sweep the grave for her late husband, and she accidentally learned that Hawke was illiterate. Miss Daisy, who has been a teacher all her life, obliged Hawke to read. Watching her pouting her mouth, eagerly and eagerly pointing Hawke to recognize the words on the tombstone like a naughty naughty boy, how can you think that Hawke is an adult man older than her grade! At Christmas, she gave Hawke her cherished literacy book as a gift, but she kept saying: "This is not a Christmas gift! Because I am a Jew, Jews never give it. A Christmas present!" Old Hawk’s face had an unconcealable smile: "Oh, Miss Daisy, I know, I know, but I still thank you!"
If you praise a teenage girl for her affection, I may be afraid that she can't stop this word that is quite "critical"; praise a mature woman about thirty-five years old, may still be rich; and an elderly woman, people can hope and sincerely praise "Sentimentality", it must be the faint brilliance of the body that has been honed over the years. Miss Daisy, she is such a lovely old lady who knows how to live, is full of affection, and is such a lovely old lady.
Morgan Freeman is my favorite black actor. Years of acting experience has allowed him to play even with pores, hair and skin, and he can't be bothered by any role. Some people like him as the old prisoner who is both righteous and evil in "The Salvation of Shawshank", others like him as the grumpy and cynical old policeman in "The Seven Deadly Sins", and others like him and Kim Kay. Rui starred in the old and unscrupulous "Fake Celestial God". But I think that Old Hawke is the character who is closest to his heart and can best explain his nature.
Introverted, calm, full of insight into the world, and detachment filled with cold eyes are the labels shared by all the characters of Freeman, but Hawke has something else-Miss Daisy drove him to Phoenix, passing the gas station, Hawke didn't get out of the car easily, but instead put Miss Daisy in the wilderness. When Miss Daisy blamed him for this, he said, "Miss Daisy, that gas station does not allow people of color to use the toilet." It was just a flat sentence, and Freeman didn't even have an extra expression on his face. But let this words engrave heavily in everyone's hearts. When I was a child, I read martial arts books and always said that lifting weights is not a big skill, and lifting weights is the skill of school examiners. Freeman's words are those heavy olives weighing on people's hearts-this kind of ability, without the skill of immersing them for many years, can hardly be achieved only by a young genius.
Speaking of the handsome old man, Clark Gable has always been praised by the time. His old age and the prosperous Marilyn Monroe are not tired. However, Gable's elegance is brought from the mother's womb, just like Hepburn's beauty, it is the ultimate that can be met in the mortal world. And Freeman’s graceful aging is mundane, it is within our reach, and it makes people naturally feel that "I will become a decent old man in the future."
At the end of the film, Hawke, who is too old to drive a car, specially visits Miss Daisy who has spent her dying years in a nursing home during Thanksgiving. Miss Daisy was so old that her hair couldn't cover her scalp, but she could still recognize the loyal Old Hawk of her good friend.
"Ah, you haven't eaten your Thanksgiving pie yet." Hawke said while sitting beside Miss Daisy in his usual generous tone.
"Yeah." Miss Daisy replied with a smile.
"I'll feed you." Trembling, like a loyal knight, Old Hawk carefully scooped up a spoonful of Thanksgiving pie on the table and approached Miss Daisy's mouth. And Miss Daisy accepted the gentleman's hospitality with a smile as she did in the past. This ending, like the large blank space in ancient Chinese paintings, is where all the emotions that cannot be spoken or expressed are hidden in it. It is the lingering sound of three days around the beam, which is endless.
The 62nd Oscar did not hesitate to award the four awards for Best Picture, Best Actress, Best Adapted Screenplay, and Best Make-up to "Drive for Miss Daisy." It seems that the judges have also seen how graceful and luxurious the pace is when the pointer of time travels into the lives of these old people. Life has a kind of beauty and style that does not lose the vitality of young people. It's like opening another window, allowing us to see another completely unfamiliar landscape in our lives-old age, if we can be as elegant as this without losing dignity, it would be a delightful thing to yearn for.
