I did not choose the gang life, but the gang life chose me

This film with 100% freshness of Rotten Tomatoes finally has resources. The first feeling after finishing it in the first time is: This is really a clean, innocent and so cute movie. The Kingdom of the Rings New Zealand is not only so beautiful, but also a great way to line up movies!
Like everyone else, I immediately thought of "Flying House Travels" after reading it. Uncle Hec, the little fat boy Ricky, the two dogs Tupac and Zag are destined to be stories along the way. They are all jokes: using a plate as a fake face. The illusion of committing suicide, "—This is not the burnt corpse of the baby.—How do you know?—Do you think it looks like a human head?" I've finished eating; I miss the warm water bag that was heated directly with fire; treat the dog as a cake; the small town of Ricky, the population is Ricky; one second said not to go anywhere, the second said he went back to the city In fact, it is quite good; the leaves are used as a Walkman while "listening" and jumping; holding a handful of grass and saying as a salad; and the old driver only understands "let me do it for him..."; "shit just get real", haha It’s really a joyous road movie. I think I’m a gangster all the way. It’s the gang life that chose me. I escaped all the way. I was finally caught and cursed Hec as a traitor. I also panicked loudly because I was angry and wanted to get revenge. , Reminds me of the panic of the little girl in "Hunting". Fortunately, the movie was clean all the way to the end. The last two people were very happy, and then set foot on the jungle adventure life of looking for the precious lop-eared crow.
And I really like the soundtrack of the film. With the long-shot montage, it really highlights the rhythm and plot to the right level, neat and tidy, and pleasing to the eye! I really have the urge to jump into the screen and take risks with them right away! Live the kind of free gang life that is wanted but escapes all the way together!
And several tributes to those classic masterpieces such as "Lord of the Rings" and "First Blood" in the film are also powerful fans. Of course, the most important thing, the little boy, that little fat boy, didn’t really feel cute at first, but he felt a bit ugly. The belly that hasn't lost weight is really cute!
I did not choose the gang life, but the gang life chose me. If it was not for the poor service of the children’s welfare home, if it weren’t for Hec’s only relative and his wife had died, there might not have been this adventure of “influencing the whole country”, so many times you seem to live other people who look very chic and free. In fact, there are a lot of unspeakable concealment behind his life. Freedom, everyone wants. It can be seen from the change in the attitudes of the people across the country on this matter to the two of them. The free gang life that I have thought about but cannot live is only pinned on the old and the young. , Pursue worship, because people know that society is not so innocent and not so clean. Free life is often something that people can’t expect. The director saw this contradiction among people, so he filmed this clean, innocent and free movie. The movie with a happy ending allows us to live the eye addiction of a free gang life!

Hunt for the Wilderpeople quotes

  • Ricky Baker: Shit just got real! Back up, homies, and let go of my uncle!

  • Ricky Baker: We'll just tell them you were looking after me.

    Hec: Doesn't matter what you tell them, they won't believe you. They'll think I made you do it. I'm not going back to jail, I'm better off up here. This is no place for a kid. You're gonna have to go back, Ricky.

    Ricky Baker: To what?

    Hec: To the welfare people.

    Ricky Baker: No!

    Hec: They'll look after you.

    Ricky Baker: No, they won't!

    Hec: They'll find you another home, you'll be fine.

    Ricky Baker: You're not listening! Nobody listens! There's no more homes, just juvy!

    Hec: What's juvy?

    Ricky Baker: Juvenile prison. They don't care about kids like me, they just keep moving us around until something happens like... Amber.

    Hec: Oh no, bugger then. Okay, okay. We're in about a million hectares of bush, that's big, it's big enough to hide in for a while, anyway.

    Ricky Baker: Good enough for me.

    Hec: But we're heading into winter. It's gonna be rough, no huts, no tents, real bush life. Can you handle that?

    Ricky Baker: I can handle it.

    Hec: Yeah. And if you play up, I dump you.

    Ricky Baker: Okay, Uncle.

    Hec: I'd still prefer if you don't call me Uncle.

    Ricky Baker: Okay, Hec. So what do we do now?

    Hec: We run.

    [They run for a few seconds, then stop out of breathe]

    Hec: Wait, wait wait. Maybe we don't need to run.

    Ricky Baker: Oh yeah, let's just fast walk.
