Little miss sunshine
Life to me is a journey you never know where it may lead you! I have chosen to watch and research on the film ‘little miss sunshine’ as I believe it is a great example of journeys. The film Little Miss Sunshine, directed by Jonathon Dayton and Valerie Faris, is about a dysfunctional family that take a road trip to a beauty contest. Along the way to the little miss sunshine pageant, the family must deal with crushed dreams, heart breaks, and a broken-down Volks Wagon bus, leading up to the Surreal Little Miss Sunshine Competition itself.
The Hoover family might not be dysfunctional if it wasn’t for the personal problems which each character face. Olive's is the main character and the only one in the family who seems "normal" Dwayne, the brother of olive, has pinned his future on becoming an Air Force pilot and is keeping a vow of silence in support of his goal. Olive’s grandfathers character is a bold send-up of the American stereotype of the sweet, wise grandfather. Uncle Frank is a gay Proust scholar. his genuine anguish at the loss of love and the need to redefine his identity is touching. Sheryl the mother of olive takes the opportunity to poke fun at the harried American housewife with her endless round of obligations, and her helplessness in the face of the overwhelming demands that are placed on her.
Richard is olives father and he and Sheryl also present an ironic take on family dynamics and "psychologically-based child-rearing", But His real affection for and connection to his family are never lost in pursuit of the "laughs."
There are two main journeys that a faced throughout this movie physical and inner. The physical journey faced is the road trip from home across the United States to a beauty contest which Olive has entered, trained by her grandfather. On the way to this beauty pageant all the characters go through an inner journey, olive lives out her father’s principle of success, Richard finds what he really values,
