Who says good looks are good movies

Watching this movie was on the way home. A few days ago I watched a few love movies of handsome guys and beauties, so when I saw someone recommending this movie, I was a little rejected. The male protagonist is not a handsome guy, and there is not even an obvious love theme in the story, but a little boy and an old uncle. story. I told myself to watch it for a few minutes and try.
Open the movie, and see the male protagonist—a fat body, a stinky face, and an earthy dress. It really isn't cute. After watching it for a few minutes, I understood the plot. The rebellious little boy came from the orphanage and was sent to the house of the old man deep in the forest. The old uncle's wife, the old aunt is very friendly to the little boy. It is not a polite approach, but a natural approach and concern. The aunt has prepared a hot water bottle and a good night kiss for the little boy. It really warms me up.
The little boy gradually relaxed his vigilance, except that his relationship with the old man was lukewarm and awkward. This savage-like old man exudes a breath of strangers. The old lady passed away suddenly and without warning. The people from the orphanage wanted to pick up the little boy again, but the little boy's request to stay was rejected by the old man. The little boy ignited a puppet with resentment, trying to pretend to commit suicide to escape the fate of returning to the orphanage and being sent away. Unexpectedly, the whole thatched cottage was set on fire.
The little boy fled to the forest, and the old man went to the forest to look for it. From here, the story really begins -
the forest is full of dangers and wild animals. After the old man found the little boy, his leg was accidentally injured. The two had to rest in the forest for a few days. The two lived the life of savages, eating game and burning fire, but there was chaos outside.
The two police officers who were in charge of delivering the little boy were one of the characters in the hunt for the savage. The female policeman said that she would not give up any child, and seemed to be serious and responsible. After seeing it, she found that she had gone into a maddening manner. She did not allow anyone to escape her control, so she stubbornly sent the rebellious little boy to the right place.
The police brutally judged that it was the old man who kidnapped the little boy, so the whole city pursued him.
The little boy and the old man wanted to explain the misunderstanding, but he was provoked by several hunters and used force, and the misunderstanding became bigger and bigger. Coupled with the fact that the old man has been in prison before, people are even more convinced that he is guilty.
This chase operation caused a sensation in the city, and people were watching in front of the TV, paying attention to every move of the little boy and the old man.
In the forest, I met a quirky, but very righteous, eccentric, beautiful and interesting guitar girl. The little boy and the old man stayed overnight. From friction to run-in, the two gradually deepened their feelings. The little boy also recites his own poems for the old man.
After running out of ammunition and food, the mountains and rivers were exhausted, and the police finally caught up. The old man said that it was not the way to escape like this. He disarmed and surrendered. Although he was accidentally shot by a little boy in the buttocks...
The old man was arrested on the grounds of kidnapping children. .
Later, the little boy went to visit the old man in the nursing home, and the old man read a poem he wrote for him, echoing the previous one, which was touching. The little boy is now staying at the guitar girl's house, and he invites the old man to come with him. The old uncle refused, and the little boy turned around in disappointment. The old uncle stopped him and admitted that he was not used to staying here, that he was not the same as the old people here, and finally agreed to leave with the little boy.



This unremarkable movie is so unbelievable to watch in one go. It's impressive. I took a small notebook to record it. There are not many scenes and lines in the screenshots. I took these pictures:
The little boy dragged and said: It was the gang life that chose us. The second time, the old man said, yes, we didn't choose the gang life, but the gang life chose us.
The little boy and the old man appeared from the depths of Senling's fog, and their outlines gradually became clearer.
And finally, the old man is willing to go with the little boy to the forest to find rare birds. The little boy walked a few steps and hugged the old man, leaning his chubby face against the beer belly.

Hunt for the Wilderpeople quotes

  • Ricky Baker: Shit just got real! Back up, homies, and let go of my uncle!

  • Ricky Baker: We'll just tell them you were looking after me.

    Hec: Doesn't matter what you tell them, they won't believe you. They'll think I made you do it. I'm not going back to jail, I'm better off up here. This is no place for a kid. You're gonna have to go back, Ricky.

    Ricky Baker: To what?

    Hec: To the welfare people.

    Ricky Baker: No!

    Hec: They'll look after you.

    Ricky Baker: No, they won't!

    Hec: They'll find you another home, you'll be fine.

    Ricky Baker: You're not listening! Nobody listens! There's no more homes, just juvy!

    Hec: What's juvy?

    Ricky Baker: Juvenile prison. They don't care about kids like me, they just keep moving us around until something happens like... Amber.

    Hec: Oh no, bugger then. Okay, okay. We're in about a million hectares of bush, that's big, it's big enough to hide in for a while, anyway.

    Ricky Baker: Good enough for me.

    Hec: But we're heading into winter. It's gonna be rough, no huts, no tents, real bush life. Can you handle that?

    Ricky Baker: I can handle it.

    Hec: Yeah. And if you play up, I dump you.

    Ricky Baker: Okay, Uncle.

    Hec: I'd still prefer if you don't call me Uncle.

    Ricky Baker: Okay, Hec. So what do we do now?

    Hec: We run.

    [They run for a few seconds, then stop out of breathe]

    Hec: Wait, wait wait. Maybe we don't need to run.

    Ricky Baker: Oh yeah, let's just fast walk.
