I really laughed when the armored vehicles all came out

At the beginning of the film, when I heard the fat lady from the welfare agency exaggeratingly describe the various evil deeds of the little boy, the kind aunt did not flinch at all. The warm water bag on the bed made me guess that this would be a heart-warming story.
Sure enough, although the aunt died unexpectedly soon, the seeds of kindness were more or less planted in the heart of the little fat man, and although the illiterate and bad uncle who looked rough still formed a ghost duo with him and started the next step. The magical and hilarious escape. Because it seems that only by running away can the little boy get rid of one careless adoptive family and the pessimistic reality of the future, and the bad uncle can forget the grief of losing a loved one and enjoy the spectacle and freedom brought by nature.
The director obviously didn't want to make the film a lofty missionary film, but instead steered it into a wacky style as much as possible. The story slowly moves towards the main line, realizing that the little boy is only naive and a bad uncle is not bad. The real selfish one is the fat lady from the welfare institution, and the male police officer who is so soy on the surface finally comes forward. After experiencing ridiculous scenes, The movie brought us a lighthearted and funny movie atmosphere. Until the end, the dispatch of armored vehicles, helicopters, police cars and even tanks, the story ended with the childish failure of the fat man. The fat lady's no cool and no cheap really made me laugh. Other than that, there's not much to laugh about.
Government agencies are ridiculed, management systems are hacked, some people are desperately popular, and some people are stupid. These are not the focus of this film. This film just wants to tell us that it is really beautiful to pursue freedom in nature. Finally, I called my uncle and took the initiative to hug him. The little boy finally got on the right track. It was indeed a good time. ps: That bird is indeed like the one in Flying House.

    Could be better, but it's already beautiful! Maybe I have never paid attention to New Zealand movies before, so the movie viewing experience is very novel and I like it very much. The performance, photography and rhythm are very good. The story itself is mediocre. The acting skills of the young actors are simply natural, and the comedy elements are particularly good. Survival in the wilderness makes me think of Li Juan's "Winter Ranch" in a flash. OST is great.

    3.5; The New Zealand version of Moonrise Kingdom, the jungle version of mad flowers at the end, heart-warming healing, fresh and gratifying, young people experience growth, old people out of trouble, "It is the gang life that chooses us."

Hunt for the Wilderpeople quotes

  • Ricky Baker: I ran out of toilet paper, give me some of yours.

    Hec: Eh?

    Ricky Baker: I've gotta poop. I need to poop, you need to poop, we all poop.

    Hec: Use a leaf.

    Ricky Baker: A leaf? Ugh! I hate you.

    [Ricky walks away]

    Hec: And bury it!

    Ricky Baker: I'll bury you.

  • Hec: You can take him, but I'm staying here.

    Hugh: Like hell. People want answers.

    Ron: Yeah, answers.

    Hec: Look, we got lost, I got injured, he's fine, it was basically a holiday.

    Ricky Baker: Not a real holiday because he made me do stuff.

    Hugh: Like what?

    Ricky Baker: Just stuff. He had a sore leg so he made me do things for him. It was hard at first because my hands are so soft, but I got used to it. I didn't really wanna do it, but it was the only way to survive. It wasn't always hard, sometimes I got to do my own thing. He pretty much never joined in with me though. I asked if he wanted to play with me, but he would just make me play with myself.

    Ron: I feel sick.
