Well received, I regret it a little bit. Fortunately, my eldest sister bought the DVD. This is a good movie with a lot of elements: the characters are colorful, the humor is great, the story itself is very interesting, the screenwriting is first-rate, the editing is good, and the camera is also very good Yes. In a weird family, the father only talks about success and failure, and is demanding; the son is a fifteen-year-old angry young man who is fascinated by the German philosophy and thinker Nietzsche, and refuses to speak all the time; the mother is the main bridge for communication between everyone in the family , Responsible for the family’s daily diet; Uncle is a famous scholar, but committed suicide after falling into a love triangle because he fell in love with his male student; Grandpa is a funny guy who was driven out of the nursing home for pornography. This film is a road movie with rich characters , Each of them has outstanding personalities and influences each other in the movie, intertwining an ingenious picture.
Like the yellow bus, it has a strong visual contrast with other things in the movie, and of course Olive wears a red. In a word, The visual elements of the movie are very rich, and the effect is very good. I like one of the shots, that is, when his son Dwayne and his daughter Olive (little heroine) sit in front of the camera by the road (when the son can't accept that he is color blind), like two giants, And the background in the distance is the little yellow bus at the upper left of the screen, and the family in a line above, the framing is very good (the picture below is a bit different from the movie, not as obvious as the contrast in the movie).
Every paragraph and every section of the movie is very impressive. When the son who refused to speak saw his mother face a breakdown, he wrote "GO HUG MUM" with his usual note pad, and signaled his sister to comfort his mother and show it. The human side; blindly saying that there are only two kinds of people, namely winner and loser. The father who despises the loser, but ironically faces his own failure on the journey; the son finally speaks during the journey; suffering from depression and suicidal tendency My uncle advises my nephew not to miss the hardest days in life, because Proust said that these are the days that allow us to cross the peak, discover ourselves, and make life more exciting; the experience of grandpa on the journey and the clever response of everyone (both amazing and funny) ); Olive is forgotten outside the gas station; Olive’s beauty queen election and results; of course, there are many times, it is a thrilling and humorous scene of
a family running into the car while pushing the car after the car broke down. Driving on the road in the car, every time I see it makes people smile knowingly. Isn’t that what our life is like? Everyone has been a loser. To survive adversity, you can face it easily, life has to move on , Regardless of success or failure, regardless of gains or losses, regardless of the meaning of the work, regardless of the road ahead.
People are too focused on gains and losses, often in exchange for failures and falls. Father talks about winners or losers every day, but he is not an eternal winner. Movies I also made a mockery of the beauty queen pageant of the United States, and the technique is very outstanding.
I forgot to mention the actors. I have watched Toni Collette (playing as Mother Olive) many times ("In her Shoes", "About a Boy", "The Sixth Sense", "Velvet Goldmine", "Murial's Wedding"), from ten Many years ago, she played an ordinary girl and became a mother later, and she is still competent. Greg Kinnear (playing Olive's father) has also acted in many movies ("Fast Food Nation", "Stuck on You", "You've Got Mail" ), this time may be the most impressive one. Alan Arkin, who plays grandpa, won the best supporting actor at this year’s Oscars, but he did not have as many scenes in the movie as expected. I liked him and Olive the night before the pageant. The beast played by Abigail Breslin. The little girl who plays Olive, Abigail Breslin, has a lot of acting experience. She is only ten years old. She has an unlimited future. Paul Dano (played as son Dwayne) and Steve Carrell (played as uncle Frank) are also very good, although only in the movie The
screenwriter is Michael Arndt. There are not many works. The only one in Hollywood is "Addicted to Love" in 1997. The directors are male and female partners Jonathan Dayton and Valerie Faris, both of whom are multiple award-winning MV directors. Going back from MV to movie can be so good.
Needless to say, this movie is really not to be missed.
