Very interesting escape movie

The scenery in New Zealand is really beautiful, and it is very comfortable to look at, which is great.
First of all, it can be affirmed that this is indeed a warm film, with some funny bridges interspersed in the middle. For example, when they were in the bushes, the little boy said that their location and the location and environment of the chasing police were very similar to the plot in The Lord of the Rings. Thinking about it, it was quite similar. Not listed one by one.
After watching it, I was not very impressed with the movie, and the reason may be because I doubted the authenticity of the event. For the bad boy Ricky, who has clearly declared that he is too bad, just because the head of the orphanage said "We will not give up everyone", will the New Zealand government spend such a huge price and spend months chasing them? Just from the point of view of social responsibility, I am not convinced. If it is said that the savage uncle and nephew have had a negative impact on the society, it will be taken seriously. So it's still a little incomprehensible. But thinking about the appearance of armored vehicles seems to be a bit relieved. It is probably an exaggerated form of expression in the movie. It is not easy to escape to this level. Wow, the screenwriter's imagination is enough, and the ending of the escape is quite reasonable. Gotta say. All in all, it's not unexpected, but it's reasonable.
And the scene of the little girl shaking her hair... It doesn't feel right, this is not a romance movie, it's a little redundant... After watching it, I think of "Summer of Kijiro", even though the scenery of this film is very atmospheric It's good-looking, and it's going to be more exciting, but compared to Australian movies, the Japanese style still impresses me more, especially Kijiro's summer theme song..

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.
