In memory of Robert. Robert Altman

Saw the news that Robert. Altman died on the twentieth.

Not long ago, I watched his last work, A Prairie Home Companion. Unlike the usual irony and pungency, this film is full of nostalgic warmth and faint sadness. Thinking that the director has gone to Xianyou now, it feels so special.

There is the death of an old actor in "The Ranch House". In the last performance of that live show, the old actor also came on stage to sing, but his voice was no longer good. He went back to his hut in the backstage and waited for his old lover to have a tryst. Unexpectedly, when he sat and waited, he went quietly like that. The other actors found out, and they joked about him with tears in their eyes, and then went on stage to honor him in their own way. At that moment, sadness is still warm, and at that moment, the viewer is also moved.

Robert. Altman, already over eighty years old, but his skills and ideas have not faded with the years. I believe that in the world, there are countless people silently commemorating him everywhere.

There is also a mysterious angel character in "The Ranch Home Good Companion". When she appears in the world, there is life to be taken away. This is probably the feeling that people still can't defeat the sky (the laws of nature) in the end.

This old man, who looks a little stubborn and stubborn, has been nominated for 5 Oscars for Best Director, but has not won one. Earlier this year, he received the Oscar for Lifetime Achievement.

    In the hands of Altman, such a heavy subject has become so elegant and charming. This movie has a magic that can make people sink. ★★★☆

    If you feel very happy, be patient, it will pass away.

    Lefty: How long you been doin' radio?

    Garrison Keillor: Oh. I don't know. Thirty-some years, I guess. Started out in Mark Twain Days, Mississippi River and they hired me to play Huck Finn. I was running a raft on the Mississippi and carrying people across, and, it ran into the wake of a steamboat.
