The film "Little Miss Sunshine" depicts a real state of life. It tells stories about ordinary people and failures. It is this that touches everyone who watches movies-each of us can see our own shadow in the characters in the film.
On the way of "Little Beauty" Olive's family accompanying her to the beauty pageant, everyone in the family failed. As a trainer of the "Law of Success", my father's career is on the verge of bankruptcy; As a housewife's mother, she is busy worrying about household chores all day; My brother wanted to be admitted to flying school, but found himself color blind. Qiqi's grandfather was driven out of the nursing home because of drug abuse and lewdness, and died unexpectedly on the road; My uncle who failed to commit suicide met his high-spirited old lover and rival in love ... and in the end, Olive failed in the beauty contest.
The setting of characters in Little Miss Sunshine cleverly covers all the people in the society. Little girl Olive, adolescent Gogovian, middle-aged husband and wife Richard and Cheryl, elderly grandfather, and a former social elite, uncle Frank. Their family, like a mirror, reflects the exhausted but doomed failure majority in this society.
But can the meaning of life be defined by simple failure or success? And what is success? What is failure? When we make all efforts, what we get is still what the mainstream people think of as "failure". How should we treat such a result?
This movie makes us think, should we pursue success in the eyes of others in our life? Or should we pursue our dreams and live in our own thoughts?
This movie also tells us that life is not only about failure and success, no matter what happens, life will continue. What matters is not the ending, but whether we can pursue our ideals persistently.
It's like the example of French writer Marcel Brewster that Frank told Dwayne in the movie-a loser before his death, but so what? You just need to do what you like, and you don't have to get approval from others.
The shabby yellow minibus in the film keeps breaking down along the way, just like our life, we constantly encounter various problems. But as long as we want to persist, there is always a way to move on.
At the end of the film, the yellow minibus drove away with the losers and the laughter of the whole family, with annoying horns. Although Olive failed in the beauty contest, her family found the sunshine of life in the process.
