ashamed for wanting to rant about Moni's behavior

1. From the perspective of the script, although it seems to be the flow of life, the three times Moni and his friends are three very important nodes, and the focus of the film's narrative is on Moni, and all the stories revolve around As Money unfolds, although it seems that there is no plot, it actually takes three nodes as the core, allowing you to approach the core of Money's character layer by layer, and watching Money's life deteriorate step by step. And the whole process also happens to be a peak season cycle at Disneyland Florida.

2. I quite like this translated name, especially the park. The whole film actually revolves around a Disneyland, but it only exists in the mouths of the characters, in their existence. It was not until the end of the film that you found out that they were so close to Disneyland. But this paradise seems to be very far away from them. Such a contrast is really shocking. Moni's paradise is full of swear words, slobber, lies and all kinds of dangers from adults, and it is so close to this fairy tale kingdom that belongs to the princess, the kingdom of dreams, it will make you feel so Split, Paradise has become an extremely ironic and shameful word. Just like Moni, she has a mixture of childlike innocence and adult filth. Throughout the film, in most cases, you see a little girl who is too precocious and very "social". It is difficult for you to look at her from the perspective of a child. Although she is indeed a child, you will be more like that. The Brazilian woman on Disney's honeymoon looked at the child the same way. You can only see the childish, or innocent side of her very occasionally, but until the end, when she is about to part with Janice, you see a scene where a child is going to be separated from her best friend, and you see the core of Moni's character, That extremely precious emotion and reaction that only children have. So where did those qualities that veiled the child's inner innocence come from? Who is responsible for this? Is it the mother who never angered her child because of the embarrassment of life and still loves Moni very much, even if she is unable to protect herself? Is it the manager on duty who looks unfriendly but always secretly guards the children? Is it Ashley who is willing to hug Money even though she is beaten by her mother? Those who come and go here, live here, but turn a blind eye to these things, and are even full of contempt.

3. This film is very exciting and outstanding. It is from the perspective of the children. At the beginning, Money and the others spit on Janice's grandmother's car, and then came to clean up the car. Money can "cheeky" ask Janice. At the same time, some actions seem unreasonable in the eyes of adults, but they don't care so much in the eyes of children. This kind of perspective and the precise arrangement of the story make the film stand.
