Happy then lucky

Literal translation of this topic in Chinese becomes happiness to good luck, and the taste of comedy is revealed from the name. But after watching the movie, I didn't laugh, but a very complicated feeling arose. A glass of sweet wine has a bit of a tingling throat. This girl with a heartless smile is called an older young woman according to the current words. Engaging in simple occupations, maintaining a childlike optimism.
Said to the stolen bicycle: "I haven't had time to say goodbye to it." At the beginning of the film, I thought that this is another slightly neurotic girl. The story is very light, and every symbol is cleverly hidden in the plain narrative. In her own way, she kept learning new things to pass the time, to experience life, to make herself not boring. Then she learned to drive, learn flamenco, help the children in the class, and meet her own mr.right.
Her optimism was constantly broken by car coaches. The first time she criticized education "Tell us that we will succeed if we do this. If we think independently, we will get lost and go wrong." It was created by people to inactivate the collective will. The American dream has never happened, but the American nightmare has been deeply rooted. The last time it was just ubiquitous surveillance. The symbol of violence in this country has never arisen in real social issues. The role of surveillance and correction as it should be. This cynical old man uttered the essence of this world of materialism, but the director ironically let him finally take poppy’s optimism as a good show.
Critical schools always look at this world pessimistically. And now the liberalism at work is willing to see society as the whole of a virtuous cycle of freedom. So this story has a comedic and warm ending. The movie ends in a warm yellow, but it can be heard again and again. Scott's words. Poppy asked him, are you an only child? He did not answer, it should be a tacit consent. Is there another kind of insinuation here.
Anyway, in my eyes this is a great movie. Optimistic people are ultimately There will be good luck, but on the way, we still need pessimistic thinking and criticism.

    The script is really well written, I like this outlook on life

    Suffering... The lines are so many that I go into shock a few times. The heroine... you're annoying me to death. Nagging nagging nagging... It's just not a foul language to express my madness. If Sally Hawkins wins this year's Oscar, I'll kick myself, jump off the building, hit the wall, and die. Just look at her "Persuasion", this woman just ruins one book after another.

  • Scott: [agitatedly] Look, another camera, speed camera. Why do you need speed cameras? There's two guys at the back of the road there selling drugs, and you have a speed camera. Why do you need a speed camera?

  • Poppy: [closing lines, on cellphone while rowing] I'm on the lake, with Zoe. Yeah... the bathroom flooded, yeah. It's alright now. We've found a boat.
