I have been driving my driver’s license for ten years. The Chinese driver’s license was transferred to the Hong Kong driver’s license, and the Hong Kong driver’s license was transferred to Victoria’s driver’s license. Experience: You have to hide when you encounter pickups. Most people who drive pickups are lunatics. It is true that the driver who drives a pickup is the most irritable driver I have ever seen. He honks his horn at every turn. Whether he is on the highway or when he cuts from the streets of the suburbs to the main road, he has a kind of domineering attitude. Cut to the innermost, and when the cross street is cut to the main street, there are stitches. But the pick-up truck skills are generally good. Like the mules in the film, the owners of the pickup truck are mainly craftsmen (construction, plumbing, maintenance), farmers, and usually have a toolbox and one or more dogs behind them. Golden Retriever, in short, is the larger one. Pickup trucks whizzed past by, or when waiting for the light to pass behind the pickup truck, I always feel that the people who drive the pickup have a natural pride of not admitting defeat.
"Mule" (or more elegantly called the Red Guardian) Earl has been driving pickup trucks, from his classic Ford to finally changing to Lincoln. Although he is very old, his pride is not diminished, even if he has reached his old age. Ion San, except for a bunch of useless medals to accomplish nothing and nothing, he is still a proud tough guy straight. The film came to an abrupt end to his little reflection and regret. His pride lies in the fact that even if he is a "mule" for shipping goods (white powder), he still looks down on the Mexican-born white powder nouveau riche. Whether it is to the white powder boss or the younger brother who joins him, he is a "you people". From the heart’s contempt, there is also an interesting episode of encountering a black couple while transporting drugs on a high speed. The tyre of a black couple will not change. He actually stopped to help (regardless of the risk of being intercepted) and helped while helping. Say, hey, let me help you negro (niggers) get it done. The black couple looked at black question marks and said embarrassingly, we prefer to be called Black.
The drug dealer's boss felt that this guy was a miracle sending him to the mansion. He was neither humble nor overbearing, and he refused to come, so he enjoyed the "double flight" treatment and the golden bracelet very calmly. After having breakfast the next day, I sat down and pointed to a middle-level man: Why are you still doing this? You are not suitable for this, so quit early.
Regardless of cultural and historical reasons or personal characteristics, old white men like Earl do have some customary "privileges" in the United States. For example, when he ran the third trip, he couldn't help but open it to see that it was white powder. He was also a little scared. , Suddenly a policeman came and took a police dog to check his car. But at this critical moment, by mistake, he asked a few words, and he casually made up a few words to answer the police. After leaving, even the police dog was confused by his hand cream and left.
Of course, that kind of calmness has something to do with his age and experience and the fact that he died after he was dead after his age, but it also has a lot to do with the respect and trust of the police for white people (especially the elders) when enforcing the law. Big relationship. The two Mexicans who watched his delivery did nothing. They were just having a meal in a white town and they were stopped by the police to be beaten. In the end, he came forward to resolve the crisis and said, I hired them to work. Yes, you know, Mexicans are cheap and powerful. Even when he was arrested with conclusive evidence in the end, the state sent a lawyer to defend him, hoping to defend him as an old man and vulnerable groups were threatened by gangs. But he dared to act, gave up his innocence defense and went directly to jail (and lived a happy life in prison).
If it hadn’t been the emphasis on political correctness over the years, I would probably not have realized so many details. As a character movie, Clint Eastwood has done a great job in both the script and the acting, especially the acting, the look in the eyes, the actions, and the words. The style of Earl is unforgettable. The character created by Earl is vivid, real and full of flesh and blood. This is a wonderful character movie. The tough guy who realized that his family is more important than his career until he was old, he resolutely stopped drug transport and accompanied his family through his wife's last years. After attending the funeral, he continued his desperate journey and finally went to jail. It's his own choice. At this time, he has used practical actions to reconcile the family. The eldest daughter who ignored him for twelve years also accepted his apology. Finally, the eldest daughter also said that famous stalker, Dad, we love you and respect your choice, we Will use all the visiting time to see you, at least now we know exactly where you are.
Over the years, I have learned about all kinds of life from movies, and even because I have watched more movies about New York, I feel like I have been to New York, and people say that New York is similar to Hong Kong. But the real life experience is still very different. And the experience of life will give a deeper understanding of movies and books. After driving for more than half a year, especially in Ao Village, I have tried driving hundreds of kilometers in the deserted hills, but I didn’t see a car alone. In "Mule", Clint Eastwood drove a pickup and sang a little song and ran in the same deserted place. The American continent has a special feeling and understanding.
