The Straight Story is a 1999 biographical road drama film directed by David Lynch. The film was edited and produced by Mary Sweeney, Lynch's longtime partner and co-worker. She co-wrote the script with John E. Roach. The film is based on the true story of Alvin Straight's 1994 journey across Iowa and Wisconsin on a lawn mower. Alvin (Richard Farnsworth) is an elderly World War II veteran who lives with his daughter Rose (Sissy Spacek), a kind woman with a mental disability. When he hears that his estranged brother Lyle (Harry Dean Stanton) has suffered a stroke, Alvin makes up his mind to go visit him and hopefully make amends before he dies. Because Alvin's legs and eyes are too impaired for him to receive a driving license, he hitches a trailer to his recently purchased thirty-year-old John Deere 110 Lawn Tractor, having a maximum speed of about 5 miles per hour, and sets off on the 240 mile journey from Laurens, Iowa to Mount Zion, Wisconsin.
The film was a critical success and garnered audience acclaim, although the overall gross proved less than expected. Reviewers praised the intensity of the character performances, particularly the realistic dialogue which film critic Roger Ebert compared to the works of Ernest Hemingway. It received a nomination for the Palme d'Or at the 1999 Cannes Film Festival and Farnsworth received a nomination for the Academy Award for Best Actor.
The Straight Story (Una historia sencilla), dirigida por David Lynch (EEUU-Francia, 1999).
A true story, About a man wanting to put right the wrong between two brothers, but miles apart he cannot drive and does not like to be driven nor does he like to travel on bus, so the only way was on his ride-on lawn mower. Where there's a will there's a way.BRILLIANT.
An old man makes a long journey by tractor to mend his relationship with an ill brother.
An eulogy of slowness
A haunting score that so beautifully expresses the tragic sense of everyday life. Music by Angelo Badalamenti from the 1999 movie.
Alvin Straight is rolling on his lawn mower when the Register's Annual Great Bicycle Ride Across Iowa (RAGBRAI) zooms by. He stops at their camp for the night and talks about being old. The movie never explains that the bicycle riders are part of RAGBRAI, but as the movie takes place in Iowa they must be.

A nice theme to the great movie, by Angelo Badalamenti, who when he puts his mind to it, can produce some seriously good stuff like this. This is relaxing , and used in the movie when poor old Alvin is slowly chugging through the Iowa cornfields. I dont own it, like i said, Angelo Badalamenti.

As we stand before the judge, it's over now
Can't even get my name and go on somehow
It’s my time to sign on the dotted line
The spark came in my head before the ink dried
I'm getting up my (Damn)
Knowing I don't give a damn for this single life
Eleven months with you, I'm tripping cause it's through
I'm standing here looking at you
Bridge:
There ain’t no more, ghetto love
No more, breaking up
No more, making up
No more, waking you up
No more, things you hate
No more, holidays
No more, need to celebrate
No more, goodnight baby
Chorus:
You wanted half, just take it all
Cause it doesn't even matter anymore
We didn't last, cause now you're gone
Just take everything, everything, everything
You wanted half, you can have it all
What the hell am I gon' do with just half of you
Girl you can keep, even both rings
Just take, everything, everything, everything
I don't want the house, I'm moving out
Can't stand staying here without you around
All of the cars, I will sell them but just one, I will mail them
And as for the kids, I get weekends
Baby I ain't even mad, I wish you well
And I'll be wrong to tell you to go to hell
Cause you're still the one I love, we're just giving up
Guess it's best for us, can't help how it hurts
Bridge:
There ain't no more honey combs
No more, Oprah's on
No more, Looney Tunes
No more, Southpark with you
No more, the phone's for me
No more, did the doorbell ring
No more, can you come get me
No more, there's no more baby
Chorus:
You wanted half, just take it all
Cause it doesn't even matter anymore
We didn't last, cause now you're gone
Just take everything, everything, everything
You wanted half, you can have it all
What the hell am I gon' do with just half of you
Girl you can keep, even both rings
Just take, everything, everything, everything
And if this is divorce, I don't want a war
I don't want to fight with you no more
Take everything, you can have everything
Material things, your last
Chorus: (x4)
You wanted half, just take it all
Cause it doesn't even matter anymore
We didn't last, cause now you're gone
Just take everything, everything, everything
You wanted half, you can have it all
What the hell am I gon' do with just half of you
Girl you can keep, even both rings
Just take, everything, everything, everything
