In fact, it cannot be said that it is love or friendship. The bland communication between the two old people reflects the sublimation of each other's feelings. The film has no twists and turns, no complicated character relationships, but simply and calmly narrates an old black driver Hoke and him. The trivia of life between the old and stubborn Miss Daisy. The story is set in the 1950s-1970s, and if it weren't for the casual glance of the camera at the Christmas card on the table, I was completely unaware of the time span of more than 20 years. I really like the feeling of this kind of light and long flowing water, and inadvertently, time has passed. . .

    Jewish old women and southern blacks, the two most inaccessible races, this film is more contextual and meaningful in the eyes of Americans, and many cuts, humor, and cultural conflicts are more comprehensible. However, from the perspective of outsiders, the "friendship" that the two old people have spent together for a long time is also touching. As the fox said, how to connect with others - come and catch me. It has a very comfortable stage play feel.
