The worst thing of being old...

Is to remember when you were young

Old american cowboy, wrincled eyes full of wisdom, white beard, bottles of beer, and of course the cowboy hat.

I don't know since when I became this wild adventure guy, but I know that when I'm old, I'm definitly gonna be one of those men, who cannot stand staying for comfortable bed and hot meals...even though I doute that I'd have my own mower trailer.

Road movies, always the best company for those who taste the air they are breathing in,loners...

when I first saw the old friends of Alvin, it reminds of these three old fellows in Forrest Gump, It's nice to have someone to grow old with.

Yellow and green, colors for death and life.

    This turned out to be a David Lynch movie, you say it's not surprising... It's a very different road movie, the more I watch it, the more I feel sorry for this Mr. Street...

    If you don’t say Lynch, it’s actually very Lynch. When you remove all the discord and mystery in "Double Peaks", it is such a movie-like an elder who teaches the experience of life in a humble manner; In the end, the two older brothers sat on the porch, just looking at the lawn mower with tears in their eyes is more than a thousand words.

  • Danny Riordan, Clermont Resident: Well, you know, Alvin, there's a lot of hills bigger than Clairmont's between here and Zion. Even if you get that mower running again, it might still break down.

    Alvin Straight: Well, you're a kind man talking to a stubborn man.
