Florida Paradise: Misery? Yes, but happiness is also real. There is no black and white grey world.

Or to say that shooting is given five stars, color matching, color matching, composition and lens conversion are all art!

Especially under the wide-angle lens, the little Harley and her daughter, the little children who are living in the Florida Paradise.

"Do you know why I like this tree? Because it has fallen, but it has never stopped growing." See the two little girls sitting on the tree?

The camera narrates that Harley has done a lot of things in order to raise her daughter, and most of these things are illegal. After all, she has not been taught along the way. Under the oppression of reality, she does not know that there are other things. How can I get money to pay rent, buy toys for my daughter, and give my daughter her favorite pizza and ice cream.

That's why I pity Harley, she really loves her children, and she has to support her children by any means to make her happy, but because of her own cognition and experience, she and her parents should be as invisible to education. The importance of children, although Harley's family background is not explained throughout. That's why Harley's sister who worked in a fast food restaurant completely broke off her relationship with her because of her child's problems, but Harley still didn't know what her problem was. She does support her daughter, but the little girl, like her, doesn't know the black and white of the world, and hasn't learned how to balance her grayscale.

At the end, the child protection organization wanted to take away Harley's daughter. After watching some videos, they said it was "sarcasm. The organization only knew from the surface that Harley had a bad life style and could not raise her daughter, but she didn't know that her daughter's paradise was to stay with her mother and friends. One piece." I admit that all of Harley's reselling, stealing, picking up customers, etc., is to give her daughter a place to live and a life that can fill her stomach, but the description of the children's mischief in the first half of the movie seems to go beyond In the limit of being naughty, they are just children. From another perspective, they are just children.

Have we not learned enough about the importance of the family of origin? I think the film raises the question of thinking: Is it right or wrong for child protection groups to take children away, black or white? The answer is: I don't know, it's gray. Having children has always been a serious and serious business but it is not something that should be taken for granted.

    The realistic narrative with full details, the hardships in the adult world and the colorful childhood in the eyes of children are intertwined and contrasted, making the narrative more space and contrast. The design of the slum children's "park" next to Disney is both ironic and poignant, but through the image, it can feel a touch of tenderness, which is particularly good. The best female performance I've seen this year is the little girl in this film. I didn't think too clearly at the end, but I still give it five stars.

    This movie is better than the story of the core of the tragedy, the coat of dream candy wrapped in it. The more tragic the story, the more moving the impression. The beauty of childhood and the affection of blood thicker than water has nothing to do with how rich a family is. The director is good at shooting children, and the performances of the children's actors are very mature and natural. The children's joy, adventure and carefreeness give this movie a very contagious youth and vitality.
