"Convoy"

Along the way to Dalton, apart from the endless wilderness of white snow and scattered animals, the only things you can see are heavy trucks running on the road or parked in rest areas. It is said that on average, more than 200 vehicles drive on this 600-kilometer road every day. After driving on thick ice and snow for a long time, when I encounter a car coming from the opposite direction, I feel inexplicably excited and quickly wave to each other to show respect.

American movie "Convoy"

The first three poster photos are from the Internet

79 The first American film to be released in 1949 when China and the United States established diplomatic relations was "Convoy", which was watched on the large playground in the courtyard. I can't remember the specific plot, but it's probably about the bourgeois capitalists and their thugs, the bad police, who were speeding on the highway and issuing tickets to oppress the people, and the proletarian truck driver Rubber Duck, who led everyone to rise up in resistance and fight with wits and courage. The masses joined the convoy to crash into cars and drive dangerously, and of course they won in the end.

At that time, everything in the movie seemed new, including the life of the capitalists, the majesty of the police, and the intercoms on the trucks. I had just experienced the poverty of the Cultural Revolution, and I felt that it was new and interesting. Giant heavy trucks, highways, car chases and crashes, and the casual lifestyle of the proletarian masses.
