Life is a beauty pageant

Little Miss Sunshine "Sunshine is the heart.

"There are only two kinds of people in the world: winners and losers." This is the creed of father Richard, who always uses his "Nine Parts" to measure people's success and failure. I analyzed it for Oliver, told her that success had nothing to do with luck, told her that ice cream would make her fat, but insisted that Oliver participate in the beauty contest, and asked a seven-year-old girl if she believed she would win and let her world pass. Full of desire to win early.

Oliver said, "I don't want to disappoint my dad, because he hates losers." So they chased their dreams all the way, their family chased their dreams. In order to qualify for the competition, Richard bowed his knees to the judges, but he tried his best two minutes before Oliver came on stage. The adults were afraid, afraid that the rouge smell of the beauty pageant would erode Oliver's pure heart, and that Oliver would be rejected by the audience, then she would be a loser. But the brave Oliver still appeared on the stage, dancing the dance taught by his grandfather, which angered the judges, but aroused the audience who were used to smirking and gorgeous. Perhaps the foreshadowing of the first 80 minutes is for the last 20 minutes of satire, even if the satire is very straightforward. Dwayne hates everything in the world, but tells the truth: "Life is one draft after another." Forced to put on makeup, dance the dance that binds him, and say the lines he has memorized, saying: "Show the best I often forget who I am, and the desire in my heart strongly controls the brain, saying, "I want to become famous." Interviews when looking for a job, looking for the other half or friends in life, we are always choosing or being chosen. . We can not participate in beauty pageants, but we can't escape the transformation of beauty pageants in our lives and be labeled as failure or success.

There are so many things in this film that are intertwined, and it is difficult to tell clearly, but maybe at the end we can say something about the whole film: "It's nice to have the support of my family." With their company, there is no beauty pageant. We too can survive.
