Movie Caf'e:LITTLE MISS SUNSHINE

Little Miss Sunshine, directed by Jonathan Dayton and Valerie Faris, is a fatabulous movie that make a dig at common custom, which, if we are able to sense, offers all of us a better way to live. I personally think it as the greatest and the most moving movie of all the movies I've ever seen so far.A very simple story, but I felt like crying at this time. A few minutes later, I laughed out loud.

Richard seems to be energetic to practice his philosophy into his everyday life. Particularly, he is always trying to seize every and each chance to teach his daughter how to become a "winner", which annoys everybodoy very much. It seems this time, with the help of a guy called Stan Grossman and all the family's properties being betted all on a single thow, fortune is turning toward them, however all these end up as an illusion very soon.

But, he has to give up that vow because he is proved to be colour blind by saucy Olive during the trip, which destorys his dream thoroughly.

----------------People in this movie-grandpa----------------

Grandpa (by Alan Arkin) , is a tough guy, has a lot of strange logic, and has a foul mouth. He still has a Nazi bullet is his butt, after being kicked out his retirement home, has to be stuck living with the Hoovers. To kill the boring time, he satrt snorting lines of heroin.The profane guy also teaches little Olive dancing moves for the beauty pageant, which explains why he is the only one konws what Olive is gonna show on the stage. After his sudden death , Olive's show become a hidden engine to drastically push the plot.
The most impressive to me is the line:

Sheryl: He was snorting heroin.

Frank: You were snorting heroin?

Grandpa: [to Dwayne] Let me tell you, don't do that stuff. When you're young, you're crazy to do that s**t.

Frank: Well what about you?

Grandpa: What about me? When you're old, you're crazy not to do it.
