Slow movie

Always the sky,. . . .
The tone is a bit low-pitched music, but it
goes well with the movie. Watching this movie always makes me feel sour in my heart, but, oh! Do not! It’s definitely not sympathy or pity, you know, it’s actually like the feeling that you like a person but you can’t tell what you like. I feel like this
stubborn old man about this movie , but I have to admit that In his heart, he was even cooler than Pete from the Smiths and he drove a tow truck alone, and went to see his elder brother all the way.
What struck me especially was the woman he met on the road who killed the deer. The woman's words were almost hysterical in sadness. . .
ok, anyway, an old man, he is no longer handsome, no longer strong, but he is still persistent. . .
"I know how to separate the wheat kernels from the husks so that the wheat kernels fall to one side." There are a lot of intriguing words in the
film. The film is very delicate and slow. . . . .
Quiet, a bit like a windmill

The Straight Story quotes

  • Alvin Straight: Well, they may be mad. I don't think they're mad enough to want to lose you, or your little problem.

    Crystal: I don't know about that.

    Alvin Straight: Well, of course, neither do I, but a warm bed and a roof sounds a mite better than eating a hot dog on a stick with an old geezer that's travelling on a lawnmower.

  • Alvin Straight: Can I help you, lady?

    Deer Woman: No, you can't help me. No one can help me. I've tried driving with my lights on, I've tried sounding my horn, I scream out the window, I-I roll the window down and bang on the side of the door and play Public Enemy real loud! I have prayed to St. Francis of Assisi, St. Christopher too-what the heck! I've tried everything a person can do, and still, every week, I plow into at least one deer! I have hit thirteen deer in seven weeks driving down this road, mister! And I have to drive down this road! Every day, forty miles back and forth to work! I have to drive to work, and I have to drive home!

    [she looks at the open fields around her]

    Deer Woman: ...Where do they come from?

    [she kneels down and checks the deer's pulse]

    Deer Woman: He's dead.

    [she walks back towards her car]

    Deer Woman: And I love deer!

    [she gets in her car and drives off]
