Living with people is always unsatisfactory, you have to obey some rules made by others, and in a way (in this environment) you have to lose some of your personality. She knows her physical condition better than anyone else, and she may die at any time, so she desperately wants to return to her hometown where she has been away for more than 20 years. She has always had a rather dead tired look in her home in the city (the beginning of the movie is really Depression), until the return journey is the joy from the heart. She may have thought that she would live with her old friend when she returned to her hometown, but the reality was that when she arrived at the destination, she was told that her friend had died a few days ago. In a completely deserted and abandoned place in Bountiful, long gone from the map, those who have emotional memories of Bountiful are either dying or already dead. And the old man has to think about her son (for economic reasons), she doesn't want to worry about her son, so this is the last time she comes back, she looks a little sad, but ⬇ She used the little energy left to fulfill a strong wish of hers Her daughter-in-law never believed that there was a place like Bountiful. This time she set foot on this land herself, seeing is believing, it was enough that because of aging, the old man's impression of his hometown has gradually blurred, and now with the The closer she gets to home, those past events are revealed in front of her eyes one by one. She leaves the empty old house. This time, she wants to pack up and take away the resurrected [past time] [friends who have left] [passing emotions]. Although the son is very familiar with the precious things of the old man, he does not want to accept them anymore. Everyone has something that they value, and there is no need to blame. In the end, the old man does not need anyone to make changes for her. Bountyfort is a kind of spiritual strength for the old man, and the source of happiness in the future. I understand the psychology of the old man. Of course, the whole movie is still a little sad.
