So movies can make people re-examine themselves.

The plot of "Driving Lessons" is not new. It tells the story of a lonely child, how to break free and find the joy of life.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~
(The story takes place during a frustrating school holiday - for Ben, who is both shy and repressed. For 17 years Ben has lived in a deserted environment with a sensitive, bossy mother and a quiet, mild-mannered pastoral father. In Miao's conservative traditional family. While the other children were out and about, Ben spent those precious weeks taking Bible lessons, taking all the driving lessons with his mother, and helping out at the local elderly's home.
However, when Ben His world gets messed up when he is hired by a eccentric retired actress, Evie.…)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I have a special sense of identity for people with autism. I like Ben, this boy who is always drooping, writes poetry quietly, can't speak, and is often tongue-tied. He never breaks the rules and is always obedient. If it's a girl, it's me; if it's a boy, he's Ben. I feel like I also have communication difficulties, fear of strangers, and inability to express feelings freely.

Ben's life is not only lonely, but also depressing, because his devoted mother controls everything in the family. What time do you go to church? What time do you practice driving? No mistakes can be made, and no violations are allowed. The mother is kind, yet overly sensitive and domineering, afraid of losing the love of her family, of her loved ones leaving God. Underneath her graceful appearance hides a nervous and timid heart, and a near-fatal car accident gave her the courage to divorce, find new happiness, and declare that it was "God's order." She locked herself in a cage. - Sensitive and bossy, sometimes I am too.

The normal life must have abnormal factors to break. Past star Evie is the abnormal element of the story. She is selfish, lying, whim, and unpredictable, but she loves life and is looking for the joy of life every second. In fact, Evie is the most mediocre character in the film, because there are too many similar characters in Western movies! The seemingly eccentric person finally teaches you the philosophy of life: the eight-legged literary film. - But only the addition of Evie can make the story work. When Ben read his poems to her, she supported Ben, saying: Because they don't understand the power of language. ——On the basis of this sentence, this character should also be passed.

    British ramble little movie. Although it is a short essay, it is not lacking in excitement. In comparison, "Life with a Glass of Wine" or "Smell the Fragrance and Know a Woman" are nothing short of mediocre. The scenery is beautiful and the poetry is moving. Regarding freedom and goodwill, there are many golden verses in a sermon in Father's Church. As a netizen commented, "How lucky to be able to figure it all out at the age of seventeen." Highly recommended! ps: After watching this video, I want to take Ma Ma to travel to other cities, to go camping in the park...

    The film is a bit boring, but meaningful

  • Evie Walton: Well you... have a soul of a poet. And that, let me tell you, lasts a great deal longer than looks.

  • Evie Walton: [voice narrating her letter to Ben] You are your own man now. *Do* remember, however odd it all gets, this is only the denouement. The end is up to you.
