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.

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.
