Chapter 1123： independent sunshine

Neil D'Arcy's pursuit of "Little Sunshine" is not inferior to the prestige of "Brokeback Mountain" before. He also wrote a special topic for the Toronto Film Festival, specifically mentioning Bell, the new generation Actor and director, who repeatedly uses his talent to shock people.

Roger-Ebert's attitude towards "Little Sunshine" is basically similar to that of Neil-Darcy, thinking that Etobel used a non-mainstream approach to raise a question that all mainstream societies must consider.

And Roger Ebert especially likes the second half of the movie, especially the ending. He thinks that the ending of "Little Miss Sunshine" is similar to "Mysterious Skin". In "Mysterious Skin", Neil and Brian are sitting on the coach's sofa, listening to Christmas songs, and quietly disappearing into the darkness

**In the sun, no one knows the future of the two of them, and the pain of growth will continue; and in the "Little Sunshine", the Hoover family embarked on their way home with laughter, and those things are enough to make Their troubles still exist, life still has to go on, and the future still needs to come out one step at a time. This semi-open ending is not conventional, but also fits the theme of the film itself, leaving the audience time and space to think.

This is the second time Roger Ebert has written a film review for Evan Bell at the Toronto Film Festival, and he has given it a very high rating. This also marks that Evan Bell has become the new favorite of the top film critic, which is undoubtedly a huge change for Evan Bell's image among professionals and academics.

Another widely watched film review came from "Entertainment Weekly" William Wood's feelings for "Brokeback Mountain" were too deep, and after thinking for a long time, he devised a special feature to report on the film for a long time; but for "Sunshine" Little Belle" William Wood's experience was much more profound, and he commented on the film under the title "Count Me One". Apparently, William Wood believed that the film belonged not only to the Hoovers, but to all 1123

**Sunshine suffers from "success and failure" setbacks in life.

"A yellow battered little bus, six family members with different concerns, the long journey from Albuquerque to Redondo Beach just so that Oliver, the youngest in the family, can enter the Little Miss Sunshine beauty pageant. A road trip , the six losers each have their own stories and their own gains.

Richard, who talks about a nine-step successful plan every day, is facing the fate of bankruptcy; Cher, who has been clamoring to quit smoking, is not only a serious smoker, but also a bad cook; Proust's research scholar Frank, but in his career , academically, and love to lose to competitors everywhere, even if he tried to commit suicide, he failed; Dwayne, who dreamed of becoming a pilot, was colorblind; a grandfather with rich experience, at the end of his life, he chose a life of prostitution, and drugs. Tangled; Oliver, who was looking forward to the honor of Miss America, was a chubby guy who did not meet the mainstream aesthetic standards.

It is such a family of six who embarked on a journey, perhaps, I should be counted among them.

Inactive work life, big family that keeps nagging, singleness that gets stinged at the holidays, and never-ending bills in the mailbox, not to mention a bad boss, hopeless promotion The road... my life

In other words, the life of 'our' is like falling into a rock bottom. When we meet, we use fake smiles to cover up everything. The more we can't get it, the better we feel. Between midnight dreams, we can only see that our hearts are empty, and we can still hear them faintly. To the sound of the air whirring in the black hole in the bottom of my heart, and the future is like the night when I woke up, which was so thick that it couldn't be dissolved, it was pitch black.

I'm a loser, and the Hoovers should count me in. I felt like I was sitting in that crowded yellow van, between Grandpa and Dwayne, listening to Grandpa say some blatant yellow advice, and then the car broke down. So we all ran to the back of the car to push and I jumped into the car after Frank and it was great. Later, when Grandpa died in the motel, we even had the audacity to steal Grandpa's body out of the hospital and take him straight to Redondo Beach, where we finally signed up for Oliver. Then I followed Frank and Dwayne to the sea breeze and listened to Frank explain the Proust he kept talking about. I ended up running on stage again with everyone, cheering on Oliver, but messing up the bad pageant.

Suddenly, I felt that life is long and the road is short. But in an instant, it can shine brightly; in another instant, it can disappear. What is success and what is failure, there is a new interpretation in my heart.

In life, there are many successful people who are considered by the mainstream of society. The person who passes you by on the way to work may be the top student at the university you have always wanted to go to; the lady who accidentally bumped you while eating just got promoted A senior position on the Wall Street Stock Exchange; the man in glasses who talks on the phone all the way is an Ivy League commissioner; that one over there is a junior who just won the school's top scholarship; this one is a top lawyer; and And the guy behind him, he just won the Nobel Prize... This horrible and **** up beauty pageant life is full of successful people, even the little girl next door who married a rich man, makes people relish road.

In fact, the so-called success, everyone has, does not need the recognition of the mainstream of society, it can still be called success. Maybe it was a small fortune in the stock market, maybe it was a success in losing weight, maybe it was a successful party, maybe it was a debate, maybe it was a physical examination and found that everything was healthy, maybe it was a lottery ticket to win a participation prize ...Actually, these successes will turn into failures in the face of greater successes. There are billionaires in the stock market. Some people are in perfect shape even without losing weight. The so-called success and failure of the social mainstream are relative, and it is ourselves, not the so-called 'mainstream', that really decides our lives.

Looking at the Hoovers sitting next to me, did they succeed? Did they fail? Grandpa died, but he enjoyed the last time of his life and reconciled with his son; Dwayne could never be a pilot again, but he finally ended his nine months of depression and realized the value of life; Richard published a book It didn't work, but he realized that success does not depend on not giving up and persevering, and learning to give up is also an important lesson on the road to success; Cher failed to quit smoking, but he got the laughter of his family; Oliver did not win the beauty pageant champion, but she gained self-confidence, she

Still the world! The most beautiful girl: Frank's career still hasn't improved emotionally, but like Proust, he has learned to enjoy the hardships on the road of life, because this is the most beautiful scenery.

Maybe there are too many unhappy things in life, but like Dwayne's line says: do what you want and let the rest go to hell.

Such a movie with a bright name tells a story about success that is completely different from mainstream movies, where there are no heroes, no saviours, no miracles. The damned dead, the lost will not come back, and the unachievable will not be obtained after all, but the definition of success and failure is no longer conventional, because every failure and helplessness can make our life gain something else . Learn to enjoy these hardships, and failure can also be part of success.

When the happy yellow bus is running again in the golden hope, the tormented journey is no longer important, the dream may be unrealistic, or it may suddenly be declared a failure, but this will not stop you from being you The person you want to be. Because there is no time limit for this process, you can start it anytime you want, it doesn't matter if you want to change or keep it as it is, there should be no constraints in doing things, we can do it well, but we can also screw it up; We can only see the suffering of the process, and we can learn to enjoy it all. No matter what the process is, I just hope that in the end we can become the person we want to be; I just hope that when we stop to watch the world occasionally, we can still be amazed and feel novel; I just hope that we can understand and not be recognized by the mainstream. Means failure, because life is in our hands. If life is different from what you imagined, I hope you have the courage to start over.

I like this movie, not because of how deep it is - although it is deep, not because of how light it is

Although it is really easy, it is because of its warmth, the warmth of laughter and tears, those pure and clean moments, that make me want to believe that the world is still beautiful, that even if the smile is young and even can't stand it Deliberation, but because of its sincerity, it can also become a ray of sunshine that is extremely cherished in life.

The Hoover family's way back, including me and you? Are you still at the starting point of departure, or on the way forward, or on the stage of the beauty pageant, or are you on the way home together like me? "

William Zender's film review is closer to the audience's perspective than Neil Darcy and Roger Ebert. He also pointed out another highlight of the film, that is, approachable, and the life of the Hoover family is every one of us. Human life, the vivid sense of closeness, also makes the reflection and aftertaste after watching the movie more turbulent and profound.

It's a philosophical story about success, but it's also a heartwarming story about family, and at the same time, it's an inspirational story about sticking to yourself. But, can you say "Little Sunshine" is cliché? Maybe, just showing a smile, just like the sunset in California in the evening, with the blue and clear color of the sea, showing a smile.

There is no doubt that "Little Sunshine Beauty" used a non-mainstream way to vividly show the charm that only belongs to pornographic movies, so that everyone once again focused their attention on pornographic movies.

"Sunshine Beauty" has won everyone's attention under the name of pornographic movies. Evan Bell used his non-mainstream **** methods to make all the producers who call themselves mainstream. Especially when "Variety" magazine broke the news about the difficult production process of "Little Sunshine", a group of pseudo-** studios headed by Focus Pictures were suddenly embarrassed.

The so-called fake movie studios refer to those movie branches affiliated to major film companies, such as Focus Pictures, a subsidiary of Universal Pictures, Focus Pictures, a subsidiary of Twentieth Century Fox, and a Disney's Miramax Studios and more.

In fact, these fake pornographic studios also frequently produce great works. Their parent companies control the economic lifeline, and then let them unearth treasures in the pornographic film field. But unlike the real ** companies like Eleven Studios, Lionsgate Pictures, and Summit Entertainment, the reason why these studios are given the word "pseudo" is because they are still too utilitarian, and they inevitably carry the word "pseudo". The consortium has a wealthy temperament.

Taking "Little Sunshine" as an example, Focus Pictures thought that the script was too bland, there was nothing to dig out, it couldn't attract audiences, and it couldn't win awards, so it procrastinated for nearly four years, and finally gave up. But the same script came into Evan Bell's hands, and it shone into the eyes of everyone, not because the story was ups and downs, nor because the work could win the love of academic professionals, but because Evan Bell uses black humor to integrate social reality into the Hoover family, reflecting the ** light that cannot be seen directly. This essence of truly showing individuality is the essence of the script "Little Sunshine", and it is also the vision that those pseudo-** studios lack.

The screening of "Little Sunshine" in Toronto received numerous rounds of applause, and at the same time it made Focus Pictures' guts green with regret. Although their peers in the industry didn't say anything, their gazes towards Focus Pictures were inevitably gloating. For this movie, Miramax has revealed that it wants to buy the distribution rights for 8 million US dollars. This is just a tentative inquiry in the early stage. The price has already created a new record in the history of film distribution rights transactions. It really did make Focus Pictures lose face.

But in fact, more than just "Little Sunshine", the same thing happened in "The Notebook", which New Line Pictures missed; and "Mysterious Skin" which Universal Pictures missed. Especially "Mysterious Skin" who would have thought that this movie won so many honors for Evan Bell, and even entered the Oscar nomination list.

As Evan Bell said, you don't need to consider the box office, you don't need to consider awards, the only thing you need to consider is the movie itself, your own thoughts on the work, and the release of your thoughts. This is the essence of ** movies.

Now, with the opportunity of "Little Sunshine", the light of the ** movie has once again blinded everyone's eyes. **Movies, **Music, this is a huge treasure trove, waiting for the Hollywood beast to keep digging.
