I'm afraid that as soon as I open my mouth, I'll fall into some kind of cliché, such as tenderness, tears, and touching.
"Mr. Streeter's Story" is not the kind of film that relies on dramatic conflict to incite emotion. It just silently pointed the camera at 73-year-old Street, who was driving a lawn mower. Why did he go. what did he encounter. He and his brother understand each other. That's all. Even the most tangled reason why he broke up with his brother "is not important anymore". But the film is not boiled water, nor is it Nongfu Spring or Evian. It is like running water in the mountains. It tastes nothing but cool.
I don't know why I think this movie is beautiful and beautiful. Maybe it's because of the frame where the grass overlaps the hut. Maybe it's because of the smile that Street and Ruth often show when they talk. Maybe it's because of the reconciled starry sky. Maybe it's because of the soundtrack.
Some things that are seen as wrong often have to wait until we get old to muster the courage to accept, correct, and reconcile. It is easy for us to build hostility to the outside world, and then wrestle with what is seen as the enemy, a stubbornness that persists until one day the same stubbornness is used to make peace. Maybe it's as far as Idaho to Wisconsin, but we can walk as far as we can with a lawn mower.
There are not too many technical things to say, things to say, such as the fat woman actually heard the sound of Street falling, such as the background sound of war when the World War II veteran speaks, such as Ryle's emotional change in a moment. The first show is David Lynch's suspenseful kung fu, the second show is delicate, and the third show is acting. These are secondary. The important thing is the temperature of the movie, which is why it is not boiled water, Nongfu Spring, or Evian.
