living in florida

A film full of childlike dreams and real life collisions. It is said that the director has been on the verge of bankruptcy and insisted on his own film style. Until he was over half a hundred years old, after reading his works, there were indeed very few. It was also because of hardships. Will have innocence.

There are several parts of this movie that stood out to me:

1. Living in Florida: hot summer, low-rise houses with many vegetation, mostly white people, the largest Disneyland, with alligators. It is said that the housing prices in Florida are also very cheap, and 150w RMB can buy a villa in Orlando.

2. Life, in Florida: Americans who are in a hurry, the poor can only live in hotels, which is completely unbelievable in China. They lived a life without a meal, the rent and salaries paid on weekdays did not overwhelm them, and they could laugh out of bitterness, perhaps the unknown life was not so bad, and we planned to live not necessarily How happy.

3. The world in the eyes of children: learning from adults, but full of innocence. Children are innocent, adults have a choice, they can only absorb what they hear and see. Conditional and conscious parents can provide a relatively healthy environment for their children, while families on the opposite side, their random choices are also expressing love, but inadvertently determine the future of their children. It's hard to tell right from wrong, this world is a kaleidoscope, it's just suffering children.

4. Hotel manager: He is the director himself, he is a father, he protects this pink paradise with his tolerance, bravery, persistence, and compassion.

5. Various realistic detail fragments: too many so worth five stars.
