Hello，广播前的各位听众朋友们大家下午好，这里是每周四准时与大家想约的movie zone，我是今天的主播李晨曦，杨莹。

开始今天的节目之前，我想先问大家一个问题。大家觉得，最高级的喜剧应该是什么样的呢？很多喜剧虽然能逗笑观众，但笑完了一回味，索然无味。也有些喜剧，演员很忙活，但观众就是看得尴尬，一点儿不觉得有趣。最好的喜剧应该是那种，让你捧腹大笑，笑完了想一想：哇！说的真好！

今天向大家介绍的这部《阳光小美女》应该就是这样一部电影。这部电影 2006 年亮相美国圣丹斯电影节，一首映就遭遇全场观众笑劈叉的高潮。这种群情激昂的澎湃热度一浪高过一浪，当观众齐刷刷地瞬间跳起为这部电影喝彩时，坐在观众席上的女主角小 Olive 的扮演者阿比盖尔·布蕾斯琳吓了一跳，还以为剧院着火了，发生了意外。这部电影创下圣丹斯电影节的卖片纪录，福克斯探照灯最终以 1050 万美元购得发行权。凭借这部片子所展现的对于生活的幽默和智慧，这部电影最终以 800 万美元的制片成本，在全球取得过亿的票房奇迹！

At the beginning of the film, "Little Miss Sunshine" Olive appears -- a seven year old girl with big glasses and a round little belly. "Sunshine" is OK, but "beauty" is not. Her dream is to become a beauty pageant winner. Look at her, mimicking the beauty winner's every move when she wins a prize with an envious look on her face. With the help of her grandfather, she had already made it to the local runner-up of the Little Miss Sunshine pageant and earned a chance to enter the finals. At her mother's urging, the family planned to accompany her to Los Angeles for the competition.

Driving in a beat-up little yellow van, a family of six sets out on a journey.

也许，你会推测，这部电影讲的该是这个长相平平的小姑娘，在家人的鼓励和帮助下出奇制胜，最终走向成功的经历吧。毕竟，奥利芙的爸爸就是一个推销成功学课程的讲师。你或许会认为这部片子大概和《摔跤吧，爸爸》是一个套路吧。然而，影片的情节、人物设置将大大出乎你的意料之外。那接下来就让我们看看家庭后援团成员都是些怎样的人吧。

Dad, Richard, is a lecturer in marketing the "Success Study" course. In his view, there are only two kinds of people: "winners" and "losers." But his specialty, "The Nine Secrets of Success," didn't bring him success. He speaks passionately on stage to a small audience. At home, he talks all about success, but people don't agree with him. Brother is autistic boy, a head of messy hair is a face as if peeled banana face, his expression is dull, refused to speak for more than nine months; Grandpa, dirty mouth, drugs, love to read erotic magazines, was kicked out of the nursing home philanderers; Mom Shelley, a tired housewife, and her husband have a variety of disagreements on big and small issues; Uncle Frank, homosexuality, because of lovelorn and career of double thwarted and suicide, need time someone to see live "burden". Can such a bunch of real "losers" help "little beauty" succeed?

Sure enough, on the road, the dream bubble that father is informed he gives a book was soupy, face bankruptcy; Uncle in helping grandpa to buy erotic magazine encounter lead to his suicide "lover" and "rival in love", the mood is more depressed; Grandpa talks dirty all the way and dies of a drug overdose halfway, and Olive almost can't participate in the competition; Brother's dreams of becoming a pilot are dashed when he discovers he is color-blind; The small old car is also out of condition and has to be pushed to start; Even, in the panic, Olive was left at the gas station.

Eventually, the family stole grandpa's corpse from the hospital, shoved it in the trunk and made it to the race site. You will be disqualified for being three minutes late! Dad somehow said, even kneel down, finally, let the little beauty on the stage! Now, the plot should be reversed, right? I really hope that the little beauty can win, so that this "failed home" can be successful! However, there is no imagined success! Nymphomaniac Grandpa taught Olive how to striptease! Amid the boos, the family danced to save Olive from being kicked off the stage, but ended up with a "never compete" ending.

这部电影名叫《阳光小美女》，起初我认定主人公是小美女奥利芙。但看完之后发现，十五岁的“哥哥”这一角色，才是电影中变化最大的人物，如果我们将他视为影片的主人公，也许能找到了看懂这部影片的钥匙。

The older brother, who worshipped Nietzsche, exercised hard to fulfil his dream of becoming a 'pilot' and vowed not to speak until he succeeded, and has been banned for nine months. He disdains a roomful of "trashy" family members, with "I Hate Everyone" notes posted on the door. In his heart, he held the same values as his father, that there were only two kinds of people in the world -- winners and losers. He despised the losers, and hated the family members around him who failed. On the way, he suddenly discovers that he is colorblind, and his dream of becoming a pilot is shattered, which makes him almost collapse! He yelled at his mother, "I don't want to be your family, I hate you bastards, you 'Loser'!" He can not accept himself as a loser, wanton vent to the loser's family hate and dissatisfaction.

至此，我们可以看到，主人公的目标、欲望，以及他在实现目标过程中所面临的压力，这个压力包括他无法改变的色盲，以及内心中对于原生家庭的恨。那么，随着情节的推进，他会如何选择？这一压力下的选择如何迫使主人公通过处理内在的问题，直面成为他自己所鄙视的“失败者”这个难题？

In the film, the "older brother" learns that he is colorblind and goes into hysterics, screaming wildly, squatting on the ground and crying, away from the "loser" family he hates. Then it was time for the game. His sister came to him silently and nestled against him without saying a word. He began to come to his senses, silently led his sister back to the car, and apologized to his family. And this one vent, let him find a breakthrough in communication with his family, he spoke -- love instead of hate, he reached a reconciliation with his family.

After that, he began to come out of the closet and connect with people. In a conversation

with my uncle, he said that he hoped to wake up at eighteen, so that he could avoid many painful times. His uncle, who studied Proust and considered himself the best Proust scholar in America, told him, "Marcel Proust came to the end of his life, and he looked back on all the painful days, and decided that the painful days were the best of his life, because they made him what he was. What about those happy years? You know, complete waste, learning nothing." He found that, originally, the pain itself also has value, the pain of the dream is not a fortune in life. "Life is one beauty contest after another," he said. If I want to fly, I will find a way to fly. Do what you love."

Seeing those little girls who were shaped by the adult's aesthetic standards, the elder brother felt that his younger sister should not be allowed to participate in this competition. He did not want his younger sister to be judged by a bunch of so-called "success criteria" to judge her "success" and "failure." He wanted to stop his sister from taking part in the race. But my sister was already on the stage. Although she was aware that with her round belly, she would not be able to compete with little girls, she muster up the courage to take the stage so as not to disappoint her grandfather in heaven. Unexpectedly, grandpa teaches the dance with striptease nature! The judges were so shocked that they called her unseemly and threatened to kick her off the stage. At this point, members of the "useless" family, including the autistic brother, choose to stand by the young beauty and they all jump on stage to cheer her on in a funny but happy dance. Olive completed her dance with the protection of her loved ones. In the end, despite her failure to win the Little Miss Sunshine trophy or even being disqualified from future competitions, she understood what her grandfather meant when he said, "You know what failure is? The real loser is the one who's so afraid of not succeeding that he doesn't even try." To try is to succeed, and she has no regrets.

影片的最后，一家人推着那辆有着温暖色调的小破车，他们一个一个的跳了进去，驶向远方。他们失败了，但他们却解开了各自的心结，似乎找到了自己想要的东西——温暖的亲情，心与心的交流，不成功、不高尚却幸福着的生活态度。

这让我们想知道:平凡真的如此令人沮丧吗?当理想与现实背离时，如何应对失败?当你付出了所有努力去做正确的事情，却仍然得到错误的结果时，你是什么感觉?我们又是如何定义失败和成功的呢?

虽然影片没有给出完美的答案，但至少让我们看到，那些没有贴上“成功”标签的人，依然可以在爱的温暖中，坦然面对不完美的自我，坦然接受充满遗憾的生活。

ok，guys. Today's program is over，hope you guys enjoy it，and see you next week.
