好陽光!

Finally I found a few friends who are interested in watching Little Miss Sunshine!

A very thought-provoking movie that is presented lightly and humorously.

Like this picture, Dwayne (the boy in white) just found out that he is color blinded, so he rushed out of the VW van and screamed like crazy. His mom couldn't calm him down, which is kind of expected since Dwayne hated every one in his family. Oh well, who would love a dysfuntional family where the father is an unsuccessful motivational speaker; the uncle who tried to commit suicide because of some messy gay relationships; his grandpa a drug addict who always say f words; and her mom tries very hard to glue the family together. Oh, and the girl, Olive, a very cute girl who has a dream of winning "Miss little sunshine".



Anyways, Dwayne has a dream of entering the Air Force that he swears he wouldn't say a single word until he gets into the army. He tried very very hard to keep this promise (but of course a dumb promise) and didn't even say a single word -- until he found out that he is color blind and can't fly a jet.

Which comes to this scene in the picture. He was really upset, and sit helplessly alone on the ground. While his family members hopelessly sanding far away from Dwayne, Olive comes besides him.

And with a gentle touch, she calm down Dwayn.

Yeah, a gentle touch, can heal a lot of wounds :)

A very heart-warming scene.

Oh, a very good quote that hits me in the movie:
A real loser is someone who's so afraid of not winning he doesn't even try.

I also like the idea that it would be lovely if we face life's difficulties together as a family. It's funny to see that every one in the family has their own struggles in life, and they happen to have 'locked' in a VW van during the journey. And it's because of this, they need to learn how to deal with each other, support each other, and deal with themselves.

Lastly, it doesn't really matter if your dream comes true or not--it's the journey of reaching the dream that matters.

You already gain a lot even though there are a lot of detours and bummers!
