A New Zealand director, filmed in his hometown, mentioning New Zealand naturally reminds us of Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings, yes, but the beauty is worth the ticket price.
Little fat Ricky Baker was abandoned by his parents since he was a child. He has never experienced the warmth of his family. His personality is eccentric, unrestrained, and self-willed. The story happened in the family who was placed in foster care for the Nth time, but it was not only Xiao Chuan who needed to be warmed here. . . .
"When you know the essence of life and know a lot of real things, there will be less sorrow." Little fat Ricky Baker is such a child who seems to see through life. This is how my life is. "Scarface" is the final destination of my fatness. But Aunt Bella, who accepted him, didn't think so. Auntie used a warm water bag to gradually melt the frozen fat heart of Little Fatty. But the aunt's husband, Hector, doesn't seem so approachable. The plain and warm life came to an abrupt end after Aunt Bella's sudden departure. How do two men with distinct personalities and very different ages face the future life, but this is just the beginning of a bad life. . .
Sam Neill, who once served as a dinosaur hunter in Jurassic Park, plays Hector the hunter this time. He is nearly 70 years old and has the same demeanor. Although he is illiterate in the film, his ability to survive in the wild is still outstanding.
Led by the old driver Hector, the little fat man sneaks into the mountains like no one, and plays the ultimate hide-and-seek game with the police who are searching for them.
No one is exempt, including New Zealand director Taika Waititi. In the film, a cute man from the police class and Rong Mo from the Welfare Department form the big villains of the film. They act silly and stupefied all the way, which can be regarded as some squeaky laughs, but the flaws are not concealed. Make some sacrifices.
From the beginning to the end, Little Fatty was wearing a fiery red coat, which was particularly eye-catching in the green, which also symbolized his hot vitality. Yes, Little Fatty has always been looking forward to the day when he can burst like fireworks, and those funny misdeeds are also Just to attract the attention of others, everything until the encounter with the hunter Stoke, the two marginalized people finally became the focus of people's attention, opening their splendid and short "barbarian" career.
Who does not envy the warm and colorful "barbaric life", even if he has movies and books to protect him, he can't escape the pursuit of reality after all.
I hope you and I have been savage before putting it in the little box.
Friendly reminder: In the film, Aunt Bella sang a really nice birthday song on Xiaopang's 13th birthday. The original version will be broadcast when the subtitles appear at the end of the film, remember to listen!
