The story is very bland, an old Jewish woman and a black driver, from estrangement to understanding, to "You are my best friend" at the end of the film, the film shows us that prejudice can be eliminated through the 25 years of their relationship. , Friendship can be cultivated, Hawke's kindness and dedication have finally achieved this friendship across races and classes. The film consciously joined the mainstream anti-racism ideas in the United States, which made the theme of the film a lot higher.

In the 1940s, both Jews and blacks were discriminated against in the United States. Daisy is a Jew. Even though she repeatedly emphasizes that she has no prejudice against Hawke, we can see Daisy's superiority and inadvertent discrimination in their daily interactions. Hawke is a black man, he can't read, but he is kind, humorous, honest, and he knows how to fight for what he deserves. The one-and-a-half-hour plot is mostly trivial daily life, so the overall look and feel of the film is very warm, and the performances of the two protagonists are also very exciting.

    It was really touching, even I could see where the tears were. The female lead is so good that people who have not experienced the elderly can deeply feel the resonance of the elderly. When a person is about to die, how precious it is to have a heart-to-heart person.

    It took me 30 years to watch the film for the first time. After watching it, I was stuck in my heart for a long time, and I felt like I couldn’t breathe. The film really didn’t say anything, but it quietly rooted a very forbearing feeling in my heart. The language of the film is warm and plain. But having such power is very terrifying. The performances were very solid. Morgan was only 56 years old at that time, but he performed a credible age span. Tandy’s Miss Daisy is a strong woman with a very independent consciousness. She is mean, stubborn and reasonable. She interprets this complexity and is very convincing. I feel that some female friends around me may be a little bit like this when they are old. Really vivid people. Compared with "Green Book", this one is more vivid, full of rich details and interesting things that make people eye-catching. The rhythm is also tepid and very gentle, which makes people very comfortable. It has a movie atmosphere of that era. And calm. The weight of time and the temperature of friendship co-exist in this film with restraint.

    Hoke Colburn: Oh, Miss Daisy, yesterday, while you was out visitin', I went and ate a can of your salmon. Now, I know you said eat the left-over pork chops, but they was kinda stiff. So, I stopped at the Piggly Wiggly and got you another can. You want me just to go on and put it in the cupboard?

    Daisy Werthan: [embarrassed] Yes, that'll be fine... thank you, Hoke. Well, I guess I'd better get dressed now!
