Straight

Alvin straight "becomes" in this film through realization of what's important in life. All the characters Alvin meets on the road are kind hearted. From all the kindness received in the movie, especially the couple who took him in for the evening and offered a ride, Alvin realizes kindness and love people have given him, a strange man with faults. He leaves the people he sees with a story and a memory of him but does not interfere in their matters. The plot revolves around the acomplishment of his goal (reuniting with his brother) and how people help him. The road is his only obstacle, all the other aspects are helping him on his way to his brother.
