I will grow old, when we find that youth is a memory

David Lynch's rare warm film. The whole film is like a glass of boiled water, but there is a mellow fragrance in my heart after drinking it. For the sake of my brother whom I haven't seen in ten years, I drove a lawnmower across the state to meet each other alone. What I wanted to save was not only my family, but also my firmness in life. The film slowly unfolds the protagonist's life story through the people he meets along the way, and the protagonist only opens up his heart to communicate with young people and peers, so the phrase the worst part of being old is in the film remembering when you was young will be more meaningful. The whole film hit me in two places, one was the memory of the war when I was drinking with my peers at the bar, and the other was the call and answer between brothers after arriving at the destination and sitting down together, that kind of past is hidden in my heart. The sentimentality is too shocking. The soundtrack of the film is very simple, and it is particularly well combined with the introverted emotional appeal of the whole film. When I was young, I really couldn’t imagine what I would be like when I was old. What I did was right, what was wrong, what I should grasp, and what I should cherish, so looking at the life of the elderly will always give young people a little inspiration. This is one of the reasons why I recommend this film.

Lynch's road movie... Don't make assumptions about the plot before watching the movie, always thinking that something weird will happen to this old man, and it turns out. . . And the image style is also very different, it is the most different Lynch!

The David Lynch-esque tenderness revealed in "The Story of Mr. Street" is a bit subverting the "alternative and weird" impression I once had of him, just like my previous impression of Kim Ki-duk after watching "Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter and Spring". The impression has changed in general. —— When I saw the two brothers staring at each other with tears, my eyes were wet. This is a trip that says go away, and it is also a story of tears and hatred. —— 2017.04.12: The Beijing Film Festival is revisited in the Archives.
