California is the most economically developed and most populous state in the United States, which is of great significance to the United States. However, "King of California" did not tell the bizarre stories of the California metropolis. Instead, it chose to be in the countryside and told a pair of father and daughter who were marginalized in life and society. A good perspective is the starting point for the success of a good story, and good telling and interpretation are necessary to complete a wonderful story, and "King of California" did it.
California has cities such as Los Angeles, San Francisco, Hollywood, and Sacramento, and it also has a lot of support for the "American Dream." Because California is also known as the Golden State, the early gold rush once allowed the American dream to be repeated here. However, in "King of California", there is no American dream, but a different kind of "Chinese dream." For Chinese smugglers, this dream is to do whatever it takes to reach the United States, to land with nothing, and then go again. Work hard to get everything you want.
California, a group of Chinese undressed.
In the film, Charlie, the protagonist of the story, told his daughter Miranda about the Chinese. He said that on the coast of southern California, someone once saw a group of Chinese people who were stripped of their clothes, who came drifting from the sea. Then, Charlie quoted a famous Chinese saying: Let it die and live! For smugglers, only by putting them to death and then resurrecting can they have the ultimate possible success. If this is not done, there will be no starting point for competition. Although, in the place of death, you may really die, and drifting in the sea without your clothes is just to reduce the slight resistance. And this little resistance is subtracted, and it does not necessarily lead to success, but for the drifting person, it adds a lot of motivation. A sad "Chinese Dream". Today we are also talking about the "Chinese Dream", but the real meaning of this dream is still vague. For ordinary people, it is still "to be born to death", first let yourself be tragic and strong, and then start tragically, because there is nothing left to let go, so it may increase some courage to succeed. But success is different for everyone, so tragedies are repeated.
"Miss, is this California?"
"Yes."
"We're here!"
one.
two.
Six Chinese.
No clothes, floating from the sea.
They twisted their clothes, put them on, and became excited at the same time. Because the United States has arrived.
This is the plot at the end of the film. Milan arrives at the beach, gazes at the sea, and thinks of her father. At this time, several Chinese came out. For them, their "Chinese Dream" has been realized, and the next step is the starting point of the "American Dream".
Yes, the "American Dream" is just a new starting point after the realization of the "Chinese Dream". For all beings who are struggling, this is a bit cruel, but it is true. The injustice of the political environment makes the people can only do this.
Do you know how the name California came from? It is not the name of an explorer or a king, but a writer who compiled his vision of 16th-century Spain into his story. In the story, he imagined places full of gold and jewels, as well as wearing gold. The beauty of the bracelet, and the beast, he called it California. The above is what Charlie told Miranda. The novel Charlie said is the 16th century Spanish knight legend "Tirant lo blanc" (Tirant lo blanc), authored by Garci Rodríguez de Montalvo. In the 16th century, California was visited by Spanish explorers, and Father Torres was one of them in 1624. Crazy Charlie saw Torres' diary in the library during treatment in the mental hospital, and according to the clues in it, he believed that Torres had a piece of gold left somewhere in California, which has not been discovered. So he started his own adventure, wholeheartedly wanting to find this wealth to save his daughter. His long experience of doing nothing has caused his daughter to lead a helpless life after losing her mother. So Charlie embarked on his treasure hunt. This treasure, which happened to be near his home, was finally locked in the underground of a supermarket by Charlie. The father’s madness, Miranda, as a daughter, has never taken it seriously, but for the sake of her father, for the love, she still tries her best to help her father so that he has something to do.
Therefore, in a 16th century Spanish adventure story, plus a Chinese ancient motto, it became all the spiritual motivation for Charlie to persevere. In other words, it was his crazy love for his daughter that made him succeed and create a stable life for his woman's life. In fact, the ending of the story is bright, because the treasure that no one thought existed was actually found by Charlie. In this regard, Charlie willingly gave his life for his daughter.
In fact, whether it is the Spanish dream or the Chinese dream, it is all for love. The strong father-daughter relationship is the non-absurdity behind all absurdities. Miranda met a great father. For her, he did a lot to hurt her. It’s a thing, and hurt itself is also love, it’s part of the means. When love is strong, all absurdities are no longer absurd, just love.
