With the announcement of the results of the college entrance examination in various provinces, I don't know if you are seriously choosing the future colleges and universities, or do you hate to read a pit daddy major like Siwa? No matter what stage of life you are currently in, there are various strange occupations waiting in front of you, such as Siwa's foodie girlfriend has become a dog food taster who makes money while eating, and the Taobao bad evaluator, Xiao San's persuasion teacher, and subway booster who are constantly spat on by the circle of friends also continue to make Siwa feel alive for a long time. However, the "strange occupations" in our eyes actually come into being in line with the trend of the times and with the development and changes of society, and some occupations rise even faster than the moment when a building collapses. The film, called "Sunshine Cleansing", not only tells the story of a strange family whose emotional bonds are not strong and everyone seems to be losers, but also popularizes a somewhat scary but very profitable profession - professional cleaners.
This film, which costs only 2 million yuan and is a bit like a combination of "Little Beauty in the Sunshine" and "The Mortician", has undoubtedly staged a four-or-two thousand pounds at major film festivals where popular family warm small-scale independent films are produced. However, due to the similarities such as the title, role, theme, image style, and behind-the-scenes personnel, it has not been able to get rid of the shadow of "Sunshine Little Beauty Second", and the situation that was originally predicted as the dark horse of the Oscars has also missed a great opportunity due to the repeated delays of strong hands such as Lin and the screening period. The film Douban score of 7.6, I believe that in today's era of huge blockbusters that have already made the audience have aesthetic fatigue, such a fresh and moving style is enough to make you get a little cool when you can't breathe.
A surprise from the unreliable film lineup
At first glance, the film's production team may seem as unreliable as the storyline, but a series of coincidences and subtle life encounters have made this film that is not good but really wonderful. Morgan Holly, the film's screenwriter, who has directed an unresponsive film but never wrote the script herself, is said to have overheard the emerging industry of "acting as a purge of the crime scene business" in 2005 and began to think about what kind of person would clean the room if I committed suicide at home. But novel real events are usually a good background for story writing, and Holly's script, which she wrote for two months in her spare time, also won a prize in a script contest held by the University of Virginia.
The screenwriter who covers a large number of content scenes in the more than one-hour film is undoubtedly clever, and the film successfully portrays many characters and plot gimmicks such as the suicide of the mother in the Luo sisters' childhood, extramarital affairs, curious and exploratory children, fathers who do not appear but constantly challenge and try, and sisters with empty psychological trauma. However, the success of the film is obviously not only that there is a good story, but more importantly, both the narrative of the film and the performance of the actors are sincere. Fortunately, this low-cost film also attracted the hot actresses Amy Adams and Emily Blunt, plus "Little Miss Sunshine" grandfather Alan Akin to help, and let the audience smell the film's boldness and ambition.
Amy Adams, who won the Golden Globe Award nomination for Best Actress in a Cabaret Comedy for her role in the Disney film "Magic Wonderland", has seen a strong upward trend in the past two years, and she has previously collaborated with "Bond Girl" Denise Richarddez and "Spider Woman" Kirsten Dunster for starring in the film "Beauty Ratio". The performance in the literary film "Child Abuse Doubt" and the commercial film "Museum Fantastic Night" also made her change the image of a simple mind left by the Disney story, in this film, she did not play a big beauty again, but grasped a single mother with a difficult life. However, compared to the linguist Louis in "Advent", the performance of this film is somewhat decent.
Another equally fresh lead actor, Emily Blunt, who co-starred with Amy Adams in "Charlie Wilson's War" but had no rival scenes, became the focus of attention for her role as a rich but decadent, free and easily controlled girl in pawel Pawlikowski's indie feature film "My Summer Love", and has since become known for "The Queen in Prada". As Aunt Mei's first assistant, she won many awards. Unfortunately, I don't know whether it is because of being a British, the taste of the film or other reasons, Emily Blunt's subsequent films are not mainstream. In this film, she played a punk costume sister just right, and the "boogie rail game" that reached out and waved on the railroad track made her countless fans.
Alan Arkin, who played the sisters' flower father, established himself as a cold-faced laugher by starring in Norman Jefferson's blockbuster comedy "The Russians Are Coming", and his role as a deaf mute in "Where to Find a Confidant in the End" earned him the New York Film Critics Association Best Actor Award and was again nominated for an Oscar for Best Actor. This film contrasts greatly with the serious dentist in the previous "Myo Kin and Pretty Family" and the cute grandfather role in "Little Sunshine Beauty", but the well-known Oscar Best Actor still performs the stubbornness of the two girls and the hidden personality of the wife's early suicide.
Don't be fooled by the light comedy element of the title
Both the title and the light comedy elements in the trailer are deceptive, and the film actually uses a language that is almost ridiculous and has some black humor to tell the story of complex and even somewhat dark family ethical relationships, dreams and self-realization. The film opens with a bloody suicide scene, but fortunately, the dark atmosphere melts into the bland and rustic plot and the warm and brisk soundtrack, which makes people quickly relieved, and begins to be filled with the loser's family and the heroine's emotional and career ups and downs.
The heroine, who once had unlimited scenery and was the captain of the high school campus cheerleaders, became a single mother who worried about her children's high tuition fees all day, her son was repeatedly warned at school and was treated as mentally retarded because he always did strange things, her sister lived to dispel the shadow of her mother's suicide and became a puppet addicted to drugs and male sex all day long, and her father planned speculative business all day long but was repeatedly rejected to end in a loss. Such a messy family undoubtedly made the once-popular love affair with the football team quarterback Mike, but now can only do the cleaning work and mike's underground lover's heroine suddenly feels the loss of life, and even when he learns that the cleaned mansion is actually a former high school classmate and is ridiculed and insulted by the lover's current wife, he will forget the words that motivate him every day and leave questions and denials about self-worth.
A chance job opportunity undoubtedly alleviated the sister's embarrassing fate - cleaning up the scene of his suicide, although the sister who took over the job at first was simply for a high salary and did not clean up the crime scene meticulously, but casually threw some contaminated clothes into the garbage can. Fortunately, the two people who were inexperienced and slowly awakened gradually got on track with the help of a one-armed but enthusiastic store owner and established their own brand. The two sisters also gradually realized that this job is not blindly reflected in the satisfaction of material needs, but gives them the opportunity to intervene in the lives of others in such a special way to soothe the hearts of others, and brings Lin Hanfeng ganlin-like motivation to their own bumpy and bumpy life path.
So even the hard-working and depressing work has taken the beautiful name of "sunshine cleaning", and each cleaning process will be accompanied by the stories of different families, such as the sister found the drunkard mother's room and left a photo with her daughter, and for example, the sister wants to comfort the elderly man who committed suicide when his wife committed suicide while playing bridge, but finally he can only clasp his hands. But in the face of frequent purge work and seeing the sisters who also have the heart to hurt people, they still retain their attachment to their mother and the difficulty of suicide. So that when the nightmare-like childhood is replayed in the mind, the sister will cry out loud and vent when "feeling the soul of the car", the sister will sit alone in the car on the son's birthday and talk to the mother with the "radio", and even when she sees the mother appear on TV, she will burst into tears.
Although the accident in which the sister lit the client's house in order to chase a kitten when cleaning the room, the sister was saddled with a huge debt, but at the same time, the sisters with the shadow of the heart understood the sisterhood and the twins. The ending of the film undoubtedly makes the previously bloody plot full of warmth and healing, and the former losers embark on their own happy and valuable paths. The younger sister, who lived a decadent and decaying life, came out of the shadow of her childhood and began a road trip according to her own wishes, while the father was no longer an opportunist, but continued to start the business of cleaning the scene with the heroine.
Who is the one who has brought us out of the haze again and again
With the bright line of sunshine cleaning the company's establishment, glory, demise, and revival, the dark line of the psychological shadow of the sisters who once faced their mother's suicide gradually became clear. As a sister, the heroine took on the responsibility of taking care of her sister after her mother's death, which undoubtedly made her more calm in the face of the truth of her mother's suicide. So every day she yelled in the mirror for some self-encouragement that was almost a pyramid scheme but did not even believe in herself, said very technically clean up the death scene in front of her high school classmates, and even left vulnerability to a first love who did not want to marry her, even if she was dissatisfied, she was once inseparable from the only man who dared to rely on. And the sister, who was still ignorant at the time of her mother's death, only remembers the sadness and cruelty she suddenly witnessed in the afternoon of playing with her sister, but proudly told others that her mother had played a role with lines because of her beauty and talent.
So when the sister sat on the porch with the mother-in-law who had lost her wife and the sister wept on the back of the railway track where the train was speeding, in fact, they all had a pain in their hearts that could not be faced but was like a shadow. Fortunately, however, corresponding to the resurrection of the purge company, the sisters also obtained spiritual cleansing through this change, and while cleaning up the filth and smell of others, they also washed away the darkness and haze in their own souls. In this process, although accompanied by constant misfortunes and ups and downs, the sisters also gained different emotions, such as the broken arm boss who echoed the lack of the sisters' hearts, and the father who was bent on selling the house to support his daughter's career at the end of the business.
Therefore, even if its trailer has the same light comedy and funny shadow as "Little Beauty of the Sunshine", it will still feel a little stinging after watching it. However, injury and healing are the recurring and inescapable disasters in life, fortunately, there are so many beautiful emotions, intimate people and healing films to support us who need a dose of spiritual comfort medicine to get out of the haze again and again.
