    "If Lynch’s early works were trapped in a trap, then the story of Stritt is based on the real incident of a lame old farmer named Alvin Stritt driving a lawnmower across the plains of the United States to visit his brother. What is the changed movie saying? Does this slow-paced story suggest a self-denial of aggression and turn to the honesty of loyalty to the moral stand? The title is undoubtedly a reference to the previous film: a story of integrity is a reference to the eraser Head to the...

    Everyone is a small planet. There is no better description of watching movies than this. The so-called stories are actually bundles of wooden sticks, the trauma of World War II, and the brothers' anti-purpose clichés. However, seeing the faces full of stories, you will still be deeply attracted by them. "You came to see me on that shit?" The most unlike works by David Lynch. Top Ten Straight Boy...

    You shouldn't think of any other films of Lynch, but this is indeed Lynch. I really like this...

    If you don’t say Lynch, it’s actually very Lynch. When you remove all the discord and mystery in "Double Peaks", it is such a movie-like an elder who teaches the experience of life in a humble manner; In the end, the two older brothers sat on the porch, just looking at the lawn mower with tears in their eyes is more than a thousand...

    The old cowboy looked like a real hero when he drove the lawn mower away from the village and town to the road in the exclamation of the old...

    As Zizek said, the interesting thing about the film is the opposition between "Disney Produced" and "David Lynch Movie"; almost all of Lynch’s works embody the recognition of Hollywood tradition-but often the opposite. (Especially in "Muholland Road" two years later); this film is a sure grasp, trying to find a balance between the vulgar "Texas Paris" road art film and the film's "pure reality" Although there are a lot of POV and slow highway overhead shots (obviously as opposed to "Monster...

    The story unfolded during several pauses for car repairs or camping. Others on the road were the cornfield. The period of bargaining with twin brothers was really reasonable and gentle. It's just that the story is not special, nor is it warm enough. Not...

    The road movie is actually good. Different people on the road have different stories, but the pace of this movie is as slow as the old man in the movie. Every sentence seems to contain a lot of philosophy. In fact, I didn’t say anything. The first thing I did was the same as Star Wars. Really not my...

    A warm road film adapted from real events, David Lynch is the least "Linqi" work. The soundtrack and photography are so good. Watching this movie is like savoring a cup of fragrant tea alone in the warm afternoon sun. | The worst thing in old age is to think of when I was young and strong |...
