After watching this film after three years, I finally understand what the theme is about.

At first I thought it was just a story of how someone who lives in his own world is persistent in pursuing his dreams. When I was young, I didn't understand it.
When I watched it for the second time, it turned out that it was about the love of a father and a daughter.
Although the daughter does not understand what her father did, she has always cherished this not-so-beautiful family relationship. Although she has been reluctant, she still supports her father's treasure hunt plan, and in the process, she begins to experience family love that she has not experienced for a long time. with joy.
Old Charlie is a lunatic, he lives in his own world. But a lunatic loves his own daughter too. He didn't want his daughter to live a miserable life that did not match her age, so he used his own crazy ways, and even his own life in exchange for a bright future for his daughter.

King of California quotes

  • Miranda: You want to know how California got it's name? It's not named after some explorer, or king. Nope. Someone made the name up - a writer. He just pulled it out of his imagination in the 16th century, in Spain. He made up this place where there was unlimited gold, and pearls, and beautiful fierce women who wore gold armor, and rode wild beasts. And he called it California. It's true. It was a best seller back then. Charlie told me that. He said I could like it up if I didn't believe him. But I didn't need to.

  • Chinese Man: [last lines - something in Chinese] ... is California, ha?

    Miranda: Excuse me?

    Chinese Man: This place, this California, ha?

    Miranda: Oh... Yeah.

    Chinese Man: [announces to others in Chinese]

    Miranda: Welcome.
