Rob Hopkins (be still my heart!) reviews the film Little Miss Sunshine:
Cheap oil has allowed us to not know our neighbours, something our ancestors would have been bewildered about. Our social glue is unravelling (to mix metaphores) and our relationships with those around us are becoming more and more dysfunctional.
[snip]
As we enter a time of extraordinary change, we will need to learn to work with each other again, to spend time with each other again, to accept other people for what they are rather than what we think they should be…
Aside from being a hilarious, touching, entrancing film, as well as a gentle but powerful critique of some of the US’s more ghastly aspects, for me, ‘Little Miss Sunshine’ was a rare thing, a mainstream film that put forward the concept that when things get difficult we are capable of great things, of coming together, of humility and kindness.
