PHTO 233 Lecture Notes - The Straight Story, Sad Movie
Document Summary
Begins with a lot of long shots. Very stubborn, determined to get his way, get what he wants. For example with the grabber, the store clerk knows when alvin wants something, hes going to get it. Which is why he is so upset when he wants one iof his nicer possessions. He is set out to travel to wisconsin to see his brother who just had a stroke-i think-and he is traveling on a lawnmower. Kinda has a comical approach to this old man. Hes traveling on a lawn mower, at like 5 mph, and hes got so many medical problems. It opens with him fallen on the gound and no one is really helping him up. Its kinda cute the people you meet and experiences you have on the road. This pregnant girl he meets who doesn"t wanna share much at all.
