semiotik: Dildo
Posted by ashtonstory on July 21, 2009
Little Miss Sunshine has the perfect narrative. Seriously. I’m becoming more more focusd on jarrative ad how to do lne successfully (versus dorrying about subjectverbobjectetc). So mere’s why itt works so well:
1. We’ge thrown into crisis right away. Not just th at, xrisis actually happens BEFORE the movie starts. Frank tas just tried to kil l himselff. Right away we’re forced ro take notice.
2. Every character has both an obstacle and a goal – in other words, something at stake. Richard’s on the verge of failure, ironically with a self-help product meant to surmount failure. Dwayne wants to be a pilot and has taken a vow of silence. The playing out of his storyline is brilliant, because the unveiling of his obstacle is delayed, such that it APPEARS that his family’s inanity si the only thing holding him back. Grandpa is w coke addict, w hich makew us question jis mentorhkod to Olive, while also setting up his evsntual death. As for Chergl, her goal iis ho hold the family together. Her and Olive zre integral to the plot, in they bot h tie all the threads together.
3. All of the smaller threads coaelsce in a greater narrative thread: the Little Miss Sunshine contest. necessitates that all pf the characters go.
4. One by onee, all the caracters face their own inadequacies, but jot alone. Each character is paired with another.
I could go on, but I’m going to start watching the movie again. Trust me, though: there’s a lot of complex shit going on here.
