Back to the Sources of The American Dream

Rating: 7/10 (25 September 2006)

This movie is the kind of movie you get out of the cinema with a feeling of simple living, of simple happiness. The characters of "Litlle Miss Sunshine" are not superheroes, they are "ordinary" persons in conflict with several problems, several difficulties of life we all have to deal with - sure, not in the same circumstances. Seeing them going through this steps, not in the classic way of "success" (caricatured with the Richard's "9 rules"), but in the old fashion way of freedom, of doing what you really love, not listening about the codes and the what-it-is-good-to-do.
The American Dream was, originally, all about that: individual freedom and undertake freedom. Let's get back to it, let's get away of our daily life, let's take a tour in an old van with what we would could "crazy" people. They're just people trying to live.
It shows us how life is creepy, only because we see that we can get out of that crap. This movie helps us out in that direction.
This movie lets us hope. This movie gives happiness. This movie is a contained" reason to live.
So let's hear it: live!
