Orlando is the city of paradise. The two major film and television parks, Disney and Universal, have brought millions of tourists to this beautiful small city. Every day, countless children rejoice under the colorful castle.
The story happened in a Motel around the park, and the pink composition brought the summer atmosphere of the pavement.
The Motel is populated by "bear children" who are full of foul language and spit for fun. They grow up savagely and unrestrained.
Kids with nothing to do and not go to school spend their time near the Motel.
Every day I pass by a shop full of childish fun.
Pass by a gift shop that you have never set foot in before.
The longing for the ice cream cookie house.
This shot is so beautiful, the Motel is a fun castle and haven for kids.
At the motel's long table, the little girl Moni's mother eats with the children. Many people living here do not have a stable source of income, and it is common for them to go bankrupt several times a month.
Sharing ice cream, coolness and happiness are flowing.
Bobby is the manager of the Motel, and with him, the hotel is very human. He painted the outer walls to look like a castle, which is really girlish.
Bobby also acts as the children's guardian, driving away a suspected child molester.
There are many abandoned villas around the park, which may be unfinished resort projects. There are homeless people, drug addicts, and the danger of houses collapsing here, but the parents of the children don't care, so the children come together on this adventure. As a result, it became a free adventure park (there seems to be a famous Adventure Island park in Universal Studios Park). The kids started a fire here, but luckily everything was fine.
Nice backlit shot, a carefree day is coming to an end.
Money gives her new partner a present.
A big rainbow spans the Motel, just as a starlight spans the Disney Castle.
Let's run to the castle together.
The manager of the hotel came to inspect the work from time to time. He was very dissatisfied with the various outrageous behaviors of the tenants and hoped to strengthen the management.
At this moment, the same smoky sky, the same dreamland.
Moni's mother resells four stolen Disney wristbands in exchange for a happy supermarket purchase. She pushed Money across the street in a shopping cart that was easy to use.
Money's mother was detained by the police on suspicion of prostitution, and Money was about to be sent to a house arranged by the child welfare agency by the police. Money ran away from the police aunt, found his good friend, and said goodbye painfully.
In the end, the two children ran to Disney Castle hand in hand, just as a cruel mother and daughter who escaped from reality were separated and embraced the perfect ending in a fairy tale.
The movie Jingshen chose beautiful scenes full of childlike fun, but it tells a cruel reality.
The Florida Paradise movie reminds me of a lot of children's themes and perspectives.
Orlando has a pleasant climate, just like Xiamen in "Carnival". The protagonist Xiaomi, who ran away from home, said that she would not go back to her hometown, because it (Xiamen) is warm in all seasons, and even in winter, it can give homeless people a good night's sleep.
In the end, the close-up shots and talking to himself when Moni is feasting in the hotel restaurant, it feels a lot like the little boy in "The Room" in the monologue. When a child's material desires are fulfilled like never before, the magic box of childlike imagination will be opened, and all kinds of beautiful visions will come to you. For us adults, it's the phrase "Poverty limits my imagination."
The last two children in the movie run to the castle on the other side of happiness. Just like many running scenes in the movie, children are always "short-sighted" and tireless, instead of being "shrewd" like adults. It is precisely this innocence that has been shown many times in Hirokazu-eda's "Miracle". The children run to the station, run to the upper floor of the supermarket to find the best observation point, and run to the top of the mountain to make a wish.
May I keep this innocence in my heart and run towards the dream castle.
