      Life is not a mess.

      Life is not a mess.
      The writer said that most people, after their twenties or thirties, have been imitating their youth.
      I was afraid of my own repetition, and I was out of a stable environment. Instead, I found that life actually became a repetition, a repetition of escape. I kept running away, afraid of the life that I could see through at a glance. I thought that I would not repeat it, and I would not be described by others about my life, but I found out later that I was just...

      will i be unsuccessful

      It's a bit like a combination of "Little Miss Sunshine" and "The Undertaker". It not only talks about a wonderful family: the emotional bond between the members is not strong, and everyone seems to be a loser; it also talks about a special occupation: a professional cleaner. Let’s talk about family members first. My father doesn’t do a proper job, never down-to-earth, and always fantasizes about making a fortune one day; my sister was very beautiful in high school. ; The younger sister has...

      This is a story about coming out of trauma, Is all about trauma.

      "I recommend the pecan pie." The short advertising line and the long-lost smile with their mother are the memories of their mother that the sisters have been waiting for for too long. The film is about how a pair of sisters emerge from the trauma of their mother's suicide to gain a foothold in a life full of stress.

      In this film, no one's life is perfect, an airplane builder who has lost an arm, an old woman who has lost her husband, a daughter who has lost her mother. . Everyone's...

      "sunshine cleaning" - a woman's way of survival

      After watching this movie, I want to write something when I have nothing to do. Well, this should be the second story I've read about women being self-reliant - raising a child alone, on a meager maid's salary, being ridiculed by former classmates on "baby showers", and then finding out about the clean-up case Discover business opportunities on the spot, and finally the story of a successful business. It's an extremely simple story, and the story doesn't have too many ups and downs. The only...

      Sunshine Cleaning: Sunshine always comes after wind and rain

      very favorite subject. It is said to be the original cast of "Little Miss Sunshine". I think that Americans always like the so-called loser theme and spare no effort, but the truth makes people cry - the girl next to me has been crying in the second half. I like this kind of unpretentious movies. And this kind of loser life actually seems to happen to me every day. 20120517@China Film Archive, new car, new...

      The subject matter is very good. It uses the courage to face death to let go of the past and welcome the future. Although the plot follows an inspirational film routine and does not go very deep in the level, there are still moving parts in the details, such as the sister climbing the rails and broadcasting on TV. Out of the mother's running dragon sets are good...

      Life teaches people to grow up, and the things that make you cry will one day be said with a smile. The acting skills of the two heroines are both super good, quite like the American version of "The Undertaker", with different stories, but with the same...

      I want to say that Amy Adams and Emily Blunt really look alike, and at the same time the plot is very warm and has the feeling of a little sunshine... from the same...

      These days I've been wrestling with an accident that I've learned about occasionally, and I think God is always playing us some kind of catastrophe joke. Some people give up their lives so easily, while others languish in order to live a good life. We should all live well, for the sake of each other who has always been by our...

    Creative background

    "Sunshine Clean" is also a small work with a cost of only 5 million, and its birth process is as difficult as the two sisters in the film have resolved. Megan Holley, who wrote the script for the first time, was initially inspired by the news she heard on the radio about the crime scene cleaning business. "I think this will be an excellent background for a story," Megan Holley said. "So I started to write a script, a little bit before...
