After watching "Little Sunshine", Neil D'Arcy couldn't help clapping his hands and laughing. Although he knew that it was an accident that "Brokeback Mountain" and "Little Sunshine" appeared together in Toronto, they were made by "Brokeback Mountain" before. After the "Bell Phenomenon", "Little Sunshine" satirizes the boringness of mainstream values, which makes people have to think more and feel happy. This big slap in the face of the mainstream media, There was no sound, no sound at all, but it caused the mainstream media to hurt each and every one of them, and they couldn't grin and scream in pain. They could only honestly swallow the slap in the face, and then make a serious comment from the standpoint of the media. Ha 18m
Neil D'Arcy seriously doubts whether Toronto Film Festival chairman Pierce Hendlin did it on purpose. He was the one who brought "Little Sunshine" to Toronto, and arranged "Brokeback Mountain" in front of "Little Sunshine" behind It's also him. This time the Toronto Film Festival really made a lot of media noise. But for Neil D'Arcy, he didn't mind, but he admired Evan Bell two more points.
Imagine a bunch of media swearing "Brokeback Mountain" and wanting to say that Evan Bell is self-destructing, but as a result, they want to sing "Brokeback Mountain" as if nothing happened; this praise has not spread all over The "Little Sunshine Beauty", the world's spring breeze, slapped the face again. The ridicule and disdain of the mainstream voice was a direct and clear huge middle finger, which made the media stunned.
When it comes to "Brokeback Mountain", everyone knows what's going on; and the theme reflected in "Little Sunshine" is only known by experts, so it is said that there is no sound in the slap. "Little Sunshine" made a lot of mockery of the beauty pageant, and through the Hoover family, he rethought "successors" and "losers" - not to redefine, but to let all audiences feel about mainstream values. The definition of success and failure is questioned and relapsed into thinking. This is undoubtedly a satire of mainstream values, and "Brokeback Mountain" was questioned because of its sensitivity to the subject matter, but it was very popular after it was released, and it was placed on the theme of "Little Sunshine". It has become a living and realistic case, vividly explaining to everyone what is called "the absurdity of mainstream values".
To put it further, the cute little Oliver in the movie is the projection of "Brokeback Mountain". Oliver wears a pair of big glasses to cover her beautiful eyes, and a small belly makes her different from the slenderness of other beauty pageant children. In beauty pageants, Oliver will not be recognized, let alone Oliver's suit A world-shattering strip-and-dance show—a seven-year-old child's strip-and-dance is as horrifying as a **** movie on the big screen. At the end of the "Little Sunshine" movie, Oliver is banned from all California beauty pageants. But the family happily embarked on their way home. This is not a kind of irony to the flattery of the mainstream media after the release of "Brokeback Mountain".
Therefore, Neil D'Arcy really laughed and felt his stomach hurt. He really admired Evan Bell so much that all the so-called mainstream media suffered a big loss, but what did he say? Can't even tell: because these are two completely different movies that have nothing to do with each other, if the media wants to associate them there. It's the media's fault. Even Neil D'Arcy was one of the people being mocked, and he was too happy.
Of course, this was heard by Evan Bell. He's going to be honestly wronged. Not to mention that when he got the script of "Little Sunshine", "Brokeback Mountain" hadn't officially started filming, it was just in pre-training; just to say that "Little Sunshine" will come to Toronto after the two works are completed is a beautiful place. Accidental, and Evan Bell himself did not intend to complain about "Brokeback Mountain": because he never cared about what the media said, he just insisted on being himself. This is really called inadvertently inserting willows and willows.
But Neil Darcy doesn't care what Evan Bell thinks, he sees the hidden connection here, and it is estimated that there are not a few other reporters who have noticed something wrong. At this moment, it doesn't matter what Evan Bell thinks, what matters is. The shame of media reporters has become a reality.
So, Neil D'Arcy used a sentence to define "Little Sunshine" and "create a new era of **** movies"! The commentary of that sentence appeared on the front page of The New York Times in bold type.
Neil D'Arcy first made a simple one-sentence comment, "This movie is not only because of the investment of only 8 million, not only because of Eleven Studio's **** colors, not only because the actors are not big names. Not only because the subject matter involves family, Roads, ethics, etc., not only because the script does not meet the aesthetic vision of the mainstream media, but also because Evan Bell used a non-mainstream way to raise a question that all mainstream people must think deeply about. This kind of black humor. The way of expression is enough to leave the keyword of '**movie' on the label of 'Little Sunshine'. This movie tells all ** movie studios that ** movie's radiant personality can also make the mainstream The media looked sideways; at the same time, it also told all the mainstream film labels that the color of ** in the movie is not objective, but subjective, and is a '**' formed from the so-called 'mainstream'. Then, 'sunshine' Is Little Beauty still a pornographic movie? Well, because it's not the kind of work that everyone would expect; but at the same time, it doesn't count, because in it, there is no distinction between mainstream and pornography."
Neil D'Arcy's comment was reprinted by more than 30 media, and it also pointed out that the movie "Little Sunshine" really shines, and it is also a place that makes people look at it. Even Roger Ebert approved of Neil D'Arcy's film, and his views on "Little Sunshine" are basically the same.
In the whole of Neil D'Arcy's comments, it is an analysis of "Little Sunshine Beauty" itself. As for the fig leaf of the media, the public does not know, and Neil D'Arcy will naturally not touch the bad. He is also a figurine. A reporter, after all, no one wants to admit that they are the object of ridicule.
"When I was watching the trailer, I totally thought it was going to be a children's movie or a family comedy, the kind of sloppy way to kill a lazy afternoon without thinking about it after a meal. But thinking that the director is Evan Bell, I immediately thought about it. Full of interest, like, why would Evan want to make a boring family movie? So, I came to Toronto and walked into a movie theater.
However, when the film ended, the emotion in my heart could not be fully expressed in words.
In this "Little Sunshine Beauty" that looks like a family comedy, the message conveyed in the story is so profound, not inferior to the "Mysterious Skin" that surprised everyone last year, and even more profound. This movie with a simple plot and humorous shooting techniques expresses the most fundamental and primitive thinking about life: when the ideal deviates from the reality, how do we deal with failure? Or, how should failure and success be defined? What should we do when we put all our effort into getting every step of the way right and still get the wrong result?
This is not only a point of view, but also an outlook on life and values, which belong to Evan Bell's outlook on life and values.
If such profound philosophical thinking is to be analyzed, even a thirty-page dissertation report cannot explain it clearly. After all, this is an issue we have been discussing all our lives. Whether it is clear or not, the tone of seriousness, heaviness and even dullness is the keynote, because it is always the case when life and philosophy collide. Likewise, if it were a philosophical film with such a serious tone, it is estimated that half the people in the cinema would fall asleep.
But this is not the case in this work. Evan used a humorous, sarcastic, and hilarious perspective of black humor to keep the audience laughing and watching how the Hoover family ran to Redondo Beach to participate in the beauty pageant; but When I saw the end of the story, I laughed and laughed, and the tears fell like this. This kind of emotion is very chaotic, and it does not belong to the kind of 'the soft part of the heart is touched', and I can't even clearly describe what made me laugh and cry, but there seems to be a long-standing doubt in my brain. The problem was finally revealed, but it was not clear enough. We need to reflect on it again, but even that little shock has a long aftertaste.
All this is like the ray of sunshine in the movie. It is a meter of sunshine that breaks through the clouds in the hazy winter, not the scorching sun in the hot summer. It's just like this, it's just such a ray of sunshine, but it contains a huge amount of energy. I have expressed many times that the artistic expression that I admire most is subtle and subtle, in silence, allowing people to savor. The director presents the blurry or even chaotic original images in front of the audience fully believes in the IQ of the audience and fully respects the re-creation of the audience. If necessary, highlight the key points of the film's message through the characters' dialogue or behavior, but never far-fetched or sensational. In other words, even if it is sensational, there should be no trace of snow and no trace. The film will never let the audience feel the presence of the director from the beginning to the end. Only when you look back and appreciate it later will you realize how wonderful it was.
Evan did it once in 'Mysterious Skin' and he did it a second time in 'Little Miss Sunshine'.
At the end of the movie, I appreciate it very much. I don’t deliberately pursue a happy ending or an inspirational effect. Whether the future of the Hoover family is pessimistic or optimistic, this is all part of life. It is necessary for the Hoover family to go on to know, rather than relying on the movie. The camera tells us a happy ending, and the audience is satisfied. How the following blank should be filled in depends on each audience's attitude towards life. This is the biggest fire in the subconscious deep collision between the movie and the audience: the movie is over, but the audience needs to fill in in the future.
There is no doubt that Evan used his lens to create a new era of ** movies! "
