[QUOTE="ubicaritas, post: 72936996, member: 400395"] The Florida Project is a movie that came out a year ago, but I saw it a few weeks ago and I'm thinking about rewatching it soon. It's probably the best film I've seen in recent history. It's an indie film directed by Sean Baker. The acting is really good all around, even though mostly it is made of first-time actors, except for Willem Dafoe, who plays a kindly, protective manager of a motel in Kissimee, Florida where alot of poor people stay. The film focuses on children and the innocence of childhood despite living in a harsh reality. It does contain some adult themes, though, so its not really a film for young children, but its so realistic and the acting is good enough its almost like a documentary (except the ending, where it abruptly shifts to the fantastical or imaginary, which is very clever considering the title of the film refers to Disney World's original project name, which is not far from where this was filmed). [MEDIA=youtube]WwQ-NH1rRT4[/MEDIA] I love Sean Baker's movies, but his other big film, Tangerine, would probably be more controversial for a Christian audience since its about transsexual prostitutes in Los Angeles. But he does a good job of showing American stories that Hollywood tends to ignore and emphasizing the humanity of his subjects. BTW, this film is free for Amazon Prime subscribers, another bonus.
