Then one day I was looking on Amazon for DVDs to purchase and found "The Straight Story" and remembered how I had enjoyed it before. Through the wonders of Amazon Prime, it showed up on my porch a couple of days later.The story is a fairly simple one; an elderly man, Alvin Straight, played by Richard Farnsworth, learns that his brother in Wisconsin has fallen ill, and decides to visit him. But he has a problem - due to his own health problems he no longer has a drivers license. So he hooks a home built trailer onto his riding mower and sets off to visit his brother. The movie is the story of his journey.There are several thing that I like about this movie. First it is based on a true story, and is set in Iowa. The entire movie is shot along the actual locations that the real Alvin Straight took. The photography is beautiful, the locales are beautiful, and it tugs at the heartstrings of this boy of the middle of the USA.Second, there is no sex or violence. I realized after watching the movie how conditioned I have come when watching modern movies to expect something violent or sexual to happen at some point. Some one get killed, someone has an affair - you know what I mean. In the back of my mind I kept expecting something to happen, but it never does. Don't get me wrong, this isn't a boring movie. And Alvin has some close scrapes along the way, but it was so refreshing to not have the movie cheapened by inserting something violent or sexual into it.Third are the characters. I have always liked Richard Farnsworth in the movies, and here he does a wonderful job. Sissy Spacek, who plays his daughter, does a wonderful job as the woman with the speech impediment, taking care of her father while pining for the children she has lost. The people he meets along the way are great also. I don't know if they are professional actors, or extras from Iowa, but the do a great job of playing the small town, decent, salt of the earth people Alvin meets on his journey.Finally, and most importantly, I like the message of the movie. It is a story about reconciliation. Reconciliation primarily between Alvin and his brother, who had a falling out a decade earlier over something that no longer matters. But reconciliation is a continuing theme throughout the movie - Alvin reconciling himself to the reality of his failing health and steadily shortening life time. Sissy Spacek reconciling herself with her dad's journey that she disapproves of and her loss of her children. The reconciliation of the runaway pregnant teenager Alvin meets along the way with her family that she imagines hates her for becoming pregnant. The reconciliation of the bickering twin brothers who repair his lawn tractor when it breaks down along the way. And the reconciliation of Alvin and a fellow World War Two veteran he meets to the horror they experienced many years ago that still haunts their memories.This isn't a flashy action movie, no special effect, no frenetic action. But it is a story that grownups (I won't use the term adults as that has a whole different connotation) will watch and enjoy. Highly recommended! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Soundtrack lead me to this wonderful film. *by D***Y on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on September 9, 2016* I was searching around at a used CD store and came across a score composed by Angelo Badalamenti for a film that I had never heard of entitled "The Straight Story". While the I found the score to be very enjoyable, I was even more curious about the film itself and decided to do a little research to find out more. I discovered that this Disney film was actually based on the true story of Alvin Straight's 240 journey to visit his ailing brother. What makes this journey so extraordinary is the fact that Mr. Straight travelled the 240 miles on a 1966 John Deere lawn mower. Rolling along at around 5 mph, the journey took the 73 year old somewhere in the neighborhood of 5 weeks to complete. After watching some videos and even a "Mysteries at the Museum" episode concerning the event, I decided to order a copy of the film.The film stars Richard Farnsworth as Alvin Straight and Sissy Spacek as his daughter Rose. The two performers are simply outstanding in these roles and the film, which was directed by David Lynch, is full of unforgettable moments, great lines, and wonderful sentimental scenes that can really tug at your heartstrings. The scenery and the people that Alvin meets along the way will have you hoping that a world like that still exists. Kindness, love of family, and the wisdom of old age are some of the themes presented within the story. There are so many great scenes in the movie and one that stands out to me, for some reason, is when Alvin is buying the "grabber" at the hardware store. I don't want to spoil the scene if you haven't seen the film, but the acting is just superb and it reminds me of some folks that I grew up around when I was a kid. I love how Alvin compares family to a bundle of sticks and the very memorable line concerning the worst thing about growing old...."is remembering when you were young". Wow. The film is definitely a hidden treasure and I enjoyed it immensely. I'm so glad that I stumbled across the score for the film because otherwise I don't think I would of ever heard of the film or the real life story that it is based upon.I guess a Blu-Ray version of the film has been released but it doesn't look like an American release so I opted for the cheaper DVD version. The DVD version has a very strange looking cover (looks just like the one pictured currently - photo surrounded by gold border). There are no special features included with the DVD version other than the original theatrical trailer. I was hoping they would include a short documentary about the real story...but it didn't. The film looks fine to me for a DVD and while many of us are getting spoiled with Blu-Ray and 4k picture...the "primitive" DVD format did not hinder my enjoyment of the film at all. Surprisingly, my 6 year old came in when I started watching the movie and ended up watching the whole thing. I thought it would be too slow but he stayed because he wanted to see if the "old man would make it to his brother". Anyway, it's a great film and maybe some others will discover it too like I did. It'll sure speak volumes to you if you listen and we sure could use a little bit of this in today's world for sure. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/10611653-the-straight-story-import-japan-region-a-blu-ray](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/10611653-the-straight-story-import-japan-region-a-blu-ray) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-08-29*
