Looking back at the entire film, the gorgeous tones match the beautiful weather in Florida. Childlike. The kindness of adults. Fireworks and rainbows. All the good things that should be there have not been deliberately concealed. Rao is so, but the whole film is still depressing.
I don't have a position or inclination to assume that if Halle was a little more positive about life, or a little more socially tolerant, the story would have been different because she wasn't a victim, nor was she tragic, rather, she was... It's so common, so common that when I go out to buy a roasted sweet potato, I can meet one or two people who are more difficult than her.
The director has almost no conflict, no dramatized characters, either a life melodrama or life itself. And when the two girls ran into Disney together at the end, I realized that the most depressing thing was not that they couldn't escape reality, but that they just lived in Florida, and Florida built a lot of amusement parks, it doesn't mean that this story happened in any other A city will be different, maybe worse, at least not better.
It is not mournfully chanting "The world will not get better", it is more like "You see, most of the people are kind, and the welfare agencies are doing their best, but the world will not be good, it has always been the case."
