father and son classic car

In the beginning it felt unbearably boring and irresistibly uncomfortable, unretouched botched footage, as dirty as a refugee camp, a stubborn, stubborn old man, an antique like Gran Torino, Always swearing, spitting, some inexplicable people, struggling in troubled times, they all have ugly faces, they don't seem to be friendly, and locomotives with crazy music are swaggering through the market, sitting around a group of people who are afraid that the world will not be the same. Messy gangster.

And this unpopular old man seems to be the protagonist of the film. If you want to watch it, you have to endure his rudeness and impatience. He has no basic courtesy, even strictness and inhumanity. The tense relationship and the foul-mouthed teasing with the neighbors made me frown a little. It seems to be deliberately trying to create a sense of tension that is on the verge of triggering. Crisis one after another, eager to try, and the atmosphere is quite lively.

The turning point started when Tao stole the car, started from the lawn he loved, started from his unintentional rescue of Tao, started from the time he intentionally helped Sue out of the siege, the plot became lively, and it began to get better and better, this smart and cheerful little The girl, regardless of his stern face, sincerely invited him to be a guest at home, gradually breaking the old man's prejudice, and gradually entered the inner world of this lonely old man, and the warm and hospitable Miao people frequently presented gifts. The delicious food finally touched the old man's stubborn stomach. A good turnaround appeared in the once tense relationship, but in order to make up for Tao's mistake of stealing a car, the old man was forced to accept Tao's physical punishment. During the contact, Tao's pure temperament and gentle wisdom were gradually revealed. The head infected the lonely heart of the old man.

I have been thinking about how lucky I have to be to have a year-long friendship in my life, the so-called noble person who will devote his life experience to teach you too much. Just like in the film, the old man taught Tao how to have the courage to catch a girlfriend, how to talk and talk like a man. The most classic is the scene with the Italian barber. Tao's words were amazing and I couldn't control it. I can't stop laughing, this old stubborn, thorn head is so cute. Teach him a skill, and finally give him a peaceful living environment with his life.

It is such a stubborn, strong and rude old man, who bears a warm heart under the seemingly unfeeling appearance. In the process of contact, under the gradual and in-depth understanding, the wisdom of the old man's stubbornness and the warmth of the mania were presented one by one, and he established a heart-to-heart friendship with the Miao people. Driven, the old man showed the most selfless and great love in his human nature. This love transcends races, transcends national borders, and finally fell silently and silently into an eternal spirit, living forever

. Instead, he chose to use the most lenient way to quell a revenge that should have been a delight, especially for such an old man who hated evil, a soldier who had fought bloody battles on the battlefield. Every time I think of this, my heart is always clenched tightly.

    Why can Walt accept foreigners easily and pay a lot for them, but he still refuses to be close to his relatives, even with hostility. This is where I find the whole movie very difficult to convince people.

    The two funerals at the beginning and the end of the film reflect each other. At the beginning is the wife lying in the coffin, and he looks sad; at the end, lying in the coffin is himself, but he has a peaceful face, and powerfully explains the subtleties between life and death. relation. He rescued Sue and TAO, and he also rescued himself. The iconic Eastwood-style long shot ending is really meaningful.
