I saw a clip of the movie on TikTok, and saw Daisy angrily preparing to question and fire Hawke for a box of cans, but Hawke voluntarily admitted that he had eaten a can and had gone to the supermarket to buy it and make it up.
It was a smile to see Mrs. Daisy's face change from anger to arrogance to surprise to embarrassment.
So I searched for this movie, but unfortunately the scenery is very beautiful, but the picture quality of the 80s of the last century is not clear, which makes people feel regretful.
However, the plot is still quite good, winning the 62nd Academy Awards for Best Picture, Best Actress and Best Makeup.
Mrs. Daisy was a teacher in her early years and lived in poverty. Later, the husband's business gradually prospered, and after the husband's death, the son inherited the father's business and further carried forward the business, so in her later years, Mrs. Daisy was already very rich and could fully join the high society.
But she didn't think so.
Her mind has been stuck in the poverty of her early years, except for Edira, a maid who has been with her since she got married, and she insists on driving herself to the streets to buy vegetables.
But her eyes were getting more and more flowery, her legs and feet were getting more and more unfavorable, and her reaction was half a beat slower. Once I hung up the wrong gear while driving, and drove the car to the backyard of someone else's house.
Her son, Huilton, insisted that she not drive her own car and would hire her a driver, but she insisted on disagreeing.
She would rather squeeze the tram to buy groceries and rub the neighbor's car to go to church than find a full-time driver for herself.
First, she felt that it would cost unnecessary money to find a driver, and second, she did not feel that she was old and useless.
However, the son still hired a full-time driver for her, and the son was responsible for the driver's salary, with only one requirement: the old lady could not dismiss him.
The driver, Hawke, had driven the mayor for eight years, and if the mayor hadn't died, he might still be driving him.
Later, the mayor's wife and family wanted to move to Havana and invited him to go with them, but he was reluctant to leave his grandchildren, so he had to find another job.
Mr. Wheaton gave Hawke a preventive injection in advance, and the old lady was not easy to deal with.
Wheaton took Hawke back to Daisy's house, and Daisy only answered once upstairs, but did not go downstairs to see him.
Hawke had nothing to do and was chatting with the maid Edira, and Daisy ran downstairs and said, "Don't bother Edira!"
Hawke stood on a stool to dust the chandelier, and Daisy said, "This is the stupidest thing I've ever seen!" Remove the ladder and don't trip people up!
Hawke went to loosen the soil for the flowers in the garden, and Daisy tapped on the glass and said, "Don't touch my stuff!"
For six days in a row, he didn't do anything.
On the seventh day, Daisy goes to the supermarket to buy groceries, Hawke persuades her to take the car he drives, and Daisy insists on taking the tram herself.
Hawke drove slowly after her.
Daisy asks him to go back, and Hawke says that Mr. Wheaton will not be willing, I can't get paid but don't do anything!
Daisy asks him how much her son pays him a week, and Hawke says it's between him and Wheelon.
Daisy, seeing the neighbors looking at her strangely at the car with her, and thinking that her son had to pay the driver who did nothing every week, she compromised and finally got into the car.
Hawke happily called Mr. Huilton to report the good news, saying that it was just the right time God had created the world.
Daisy, a competent widow, insisted on not looking for her partner again, and when the weather was good, she went to visit her husband's grave and offered flowers to her friends.
Once she asked Hawke to help present a pot of rhododendrons to her friend's husband, Bouer, but Hawke was illiterate, and Daisy taught him that he could find the tombstone based on the pronunciation of the word, as long as he recognized the first letter as B and the last letter as R.
Hawke really found it, and he was so happy that he thanked her for teaching him to read.
Daisy just said lightly that it was nothing, she taught vocabulary introduction when she was young.
But the good times were short-lived.
One morning, before Mr. Whilton could have breakfast, he received a call from his mother that Hawke had stolen something and that she was going to fire him.
Wheaton hurried in, and Daisy said she knew the men would steal her stuff silently, but thankfully she remembered the number of everything.
She counted the number of plates, checked the number of tablecloths, and then counted the cans, and finally found that Hawke had stolen a can of her can of bluefish.
The son said helplessly: You called me early in the morning, I didn't have time to eat breakfast, and I had to delay this morning's meeting, just to tell me that Hawke took your one-dollar three-can can worth 33 cents?
Daisy says it's no small thing, she just wants to protect her privacy from intrusion.
The son said irritably: Well, if you want to squeeze the tram yourself, squeeze it, drive it yourself, do whatever you want, I don't care about you!
The two were at a stalemate, and Hawke came, undressing and said, "Oh yes, Mrs. Daisy, I ate a can of your canned fish last night, and although you told me you could eat the rest of the ribs, the ribs were so hard that I couldn't eat them." But this morning I stopped by the store and bought a can of canned fish, and I'll put it back for you now.
The son looked at his mother triumphantly, and Daisy immediately turned around and said: Oh, it's time for me to change clothes, goodbye child...
Wheaton's Uncle Potter is celebrating his 90th birthday, but he's too busy with business to go with his mom.
Daisy took the map to Hawke as a guide, and the two drove out across continents for the first time.
Rest on the side of the road at noon.
Hawke stood outside the car, leaning against it, and Daisy sat in the car eating lunch.
Two policemen came up and yelled at Hawke: What are you doing?
Daisy said: "This is my car, he is my driver.
The two policemen were not reassured and asked to see Hawke's driver's license and ID card.
After checking, they greeted Daisy politely, but ignored Hawke.
As they walked, they said: What good will a black man do with an old Jewish white woman?
Neither of them was familiar with the road conditions and took many detours along the way.
At night, Hawke parked his car in a wilderness and got out of the car himself.
Daisy asked him to hold back, saying that he was coming soon.
Hawke didn't listen to her, leaving her to wait in the car by herself.
After a while, Hawke had not returned, and Daisy looked east and west, constantly calling hawke.
Hawke sneaked in and asked her: What happened?
Daisy calmly leaned back in her chair and said, "Don't you want to go yet?"
Christmas is here.
Hawke takes Daisy to Wheaton's house for Christmas Eve.
Seeing the lantern decoration in the courtyard, Daisy complained to her daughter-in-law that if her grandfather saw her dressing up the house like this, he would definitely jump out of the grave and shave her hair.
Hawke laughed as she walked.
Arriving at her son's door, Daisy took out a wrapped envelope and repeated it: This is not a Christmas gift, it is just a small book that I just happened to turn out this morning that I taught when I was young, and if you want to read, look at it.
Hawke took it in surprise.
Daisy affirmed again: This is not a Christmas gift.
During a snowstorm, Hawke arrived at seven o'clock in the morning.
Daisy said: "I thought you weren't coming today.
Hawke said he was a good driver, and the young people would crash their cars together.
He also bought some coal and lit the stove to keep the house warm.
Her son called and asked if she wanted to bring something, and Daisy said, "You don't have to, Hawke is here with me."
The son said: I must have made a mistake, and my mother would show her love for Hawke.
Daisy said: "I didn't say I liked him, I just said he was diligent.
Since the death of the maid Edira, they have been left in the house for a long time.
Hawke took a cup of coffee and handed it to Daisy.
Daisy said: "I learned to cook, but I can't drink Edira's coffee anymore."
After a while, Daisy said to Hawke: Edira is happy.
Hawke nodded.
Daisy was going to a charity dinner about improving the social treatment of black people, and she had already signed up for Hawke, but she didn't tell Hawke until she got to the door of the hotel: If you want to go, come with me, and if you don't want to go, don't force yourself.
Hawke said: You received the invitation a month in advance, why are you only willing to tell me now? The next time you want me to go with you, please tell me in advance.
Both men's hair was gray, and Daisy was almost 90 years old.
Seeing Hawke one morning, Daisy hurriedly said that she couldn't find the homework book she had graded, and if she didn't take her homework to class, the children would be disappointed in her.
Daisy was sick.
Hawke called Mr. Wheaton.
When her mind was clear, Daisy suddenly asked Hawke: Is the Hasson car you drove when you came still in the garage?
Hawke laughed and said that it had been 15 years since you bought the Cadillac in 1965, and the Hasson had long since been scrapped.
Daisy took Hawke's hand and said, "You're my best friend."
Wheaton placed his mother in a nursing home and sold the house.
Hawke is also too old to drive anymore, and his granddaughters are 37 years old.
In the final days, Hawke goes to see Daisy at the nursing home, and Daisy sits at the table, and Hawke feeds her a bite of cake.
Without Hawke, Daisy would be lonely for the rest of her life.
The husband died, the son was busy with business, he was not accustomed to the style of his daughter-in-law, he was too sharp and poisonous, and he had few close friends, and he did not know how she would pass her time.
But fortunately there was Hawke, and although nominally they were bosses and employees, sometimes they were like brothers and sisters, sometimes they were like friends, sometimes like brothers and sisters. Although occasionally quarreling, Hawke can understand Mrs. Daisy's deepest kindness.
She verbally says she won't give Christmas presents, but still gives Hawke the little books he needs;
She told her son that she didn't like Hawke, but she still said that with Hawke with her, she didn't need anything;
Hawke said that she fried chicken legs too much, and too many chicken legs will be crowded together, she did not admit it, but quietly turned off the fire and fried the chicken legs in batches;
The church she often went to was bombed, she sat in the back seat and wept, Hawke told stories to comfort her, but she said what are you doing, and I didn't cry;
She booked a seat for him at the charity dinner early but couldn't put her down, causing Hawke to misunderstand her...
Some people are duplicitous, hard and soft, always sharp and poisonous on the surface, poking people's sore spots, but in fact they have a sensitive and kind heart. When you really encounter difficulties, he will definitely pay for you regardless of gains and losses.
However, such people are often misunderstood by outsiders, so they are kind in heart but less likely to get the love of others.
Suddenly I remembered Qin Hao, and I remembered that once Yi Nengjing quarreled with him, saying that he was just hard and soft-hearted, and that he wouldn't tell her those sweet words.
Qin Hao said that there were some words that could not be easily spoken, and he felt light when he spoke.
I understand what he thinks.
Not everyone can meet a confidant,
May someone see your goodness through your actions;
I hope someone can tolerate your knife mouth tofu heart;
I hope you can meet a partner who can tolerate you and understand you regardless of your mood;
May your sky no longer have dark clouds, and always be clear.
