Out of Time: Deconstructing Alvin Straight

By: Fox, Stephen Carey

An Old Man recalls the story of Alvin Straight, a man like himself who rode a lawnmower across two states to reconcile with his stricken brother ... before it was too late.

Along the way, a Young Man asks Straight, "What's the worst part of being old?" Straight replies, "remembering what it was being young."

Straight's reply intrigues the Old Man. He decides to discover what it was like being young ... before it's too late.

Then, a crisis forces him to choose another path. He becomes convinced that instead of asking what it was like to be young, he must leave his family with memorable stories of his life. He explains to his daughter, "In the swirl of history, I need to have counted."
