1. In 1990, wow, the year I was born, the 62nd Oscar for Best Picture was finally won by the movie "Drive for Miss Daisy". The film tells the story of a wealthy white old lady Daisy who accidentally drove her car out of hand. After paying for a new car, the insurance company no longer agreed to let her drive. So Daisy had to get along with Hawk, the black driver hired by her son, and the two performed a classic warm comedy.
2. Daisy was born as a poor man. She is very old. Although she is rich in life, she always maintains the frugal and independent living habit that she has cultivated since childhood. Therefore, she is very resistant to the driver invited by her son in her heart. To outsiders, Daisy may be more like a stubborn or even paranoid old lady. Hawke is a kind, honest, honest and kind person. In the face of Daisy's cold-eyed treatment, he is not only willing to bear it, but also takes the initiative to express kindness and care to Daisy.
3. The trend of the story is naturally that Daisy and Hawke gradually melted the gap between each other during the long-term relationship. Hawke respects Daisy's principled character, but she does not forget her responsibilities; Daisy no longer rejects Hawke, but instead pays trust and friendship. Daisy, who was a teacher, began to teach Hawke to read and read, and Hawke accompanied Daisy all the way, becoming her only close friend in her later years.
4. The story mode of this movie is easy to think of last year’s Oscar’s Best Picture "Green Book", but time has changed. Oscar’s taste has changed from "blacks driving whites" to "whites driving blacks." "From the combination of "rich but persistent whites vs poor but kind blacks" to "celebrity and elegant blacks vs downright but upright whites", this reflects the tremendous changes in American society and culture in the past thirty years. Very interesting.
5. If the "Green Book" is a precise dialogue between different races, different classes, and even different sexual orientations with a strong sense of design, it is a nearly perfect test-taking work under the banner of political correctness, then "For "Miss Daisy Drives" is a simpler and more detailed emotional story of the characters. The pessimistic interlinkage of humans makes the theme of this movie far beyond the small vision of racial estrangement. "You are my best friend" may sound verbal and simple, but it is a classic line that is still touching even if I say it frankly after sufficient emotional preparation.
6. "Driving for Miss Daisy" is directed by Australian director Bruce Bellsford. He is just 80 years old this year, still sticking to the forefront of creative work, and his creative state is quite good. His two works "Root" and "Mr. Church" in 2016 are both excellent works with more than 8 points on the scoring website, and in 2020, he will put Oscar Wilde's classic work "Insignificant Woman" Put it on the big screen.
7. The protagonist of "Driving for Miss Daisy" is the familiar black actor Morgan Freeman. The role of Hawke can be said to be the first classic image he created on the big screen, but even as far back as thirty years ago, Morgan Freeman was already over fifty when he played this role. It seems that our impression of him in movies has always been middle-aged and old people?
8. "Driving for Miss Daisy" not only won the best film Oscar of that year, but also put British actress Jessica Tandy on the throne of the Oscar queen. Jessica Tandy, born in 1909, has been immersed in stage performances since she was a child. At the age of 21, she traveled across the oceans to Broadway, and cooperated with her husband to become the most popular couple actor on stage, and won Won three Tony Awards and was hailed as the "First Lady of Broadway." Later in her career, Jessica Tandy began to move to the big screen. She was 80 years old when she appeared in "Drive for Miss Daisy", but she died in regret 4 years after winning the statuette. When she was young, Jessica Tandy was also a gesture of sinking fish and wild goose, which is no less than today's Scarlett Johansson.
9. In addition to winning the 62nd Oscar for Best Picture and Best Actress, "Drive for Miss Daisy" also won two awards for Best Adapted Screenplay and Best Make-up. Among other nominations, Morgan Ferrer In the competition for best actor, Liman was defeated by Daniel Day-Lewis, who starred in "My Left Foot", and the latter became the Oscar winner with "Blood" and "Lincoln" respectively. The only legendary actor in history who has won three Oscar trophies.
10. Finally, it is worth mentioning that the soundtrack of "Driving for Miss Daisy" was performed by the familiar soundtrack master Hans Zimmer, but he seemed to be far from where he is today. Although the soundtrack in "Driving for Miss Daisy" is relaxed and melodious, it blends well with the film scene, but the two music awards of the 62nd Oscar were eventually taken away by the familiar Disney animation "The Little Mermaid".
