Rebecca Karsner

Think of this film as more of an experience than a movie and I think you'll love it.

Rebecca Karsner

Eamonn Locke

The chick who plays the mom was found on Instagram. They wanted an unknown.. the ending completely tore me up seeing that baby break down like that!! 🥺🥺🥺

Rebecca Karsner

Glad you guys liked this one! It's one of my favorites.. it's so realistic and I feel like all of us have known people like the characters in this film. Brooklyn Prince (Moonee) and Willem Dafoe (Bobby) were the only actors in this with acting experience.. everyone one else had never acted before. And about those helicopters that were seen flying around all the time.. those were helicopter tour rides.. the director of the film tried to pay to have them not fly while they were shooting but it was out of their budget range to do so. I actually think its better they were left in anyways because they serve as a constant reminder how tourism can affect these towns just on the outskirts of Disney world and all the other parks in Orlando. I thought all the kids were fantastic in this! The director said he had the Little Rascals in mind when making this film.. which if you don't know The Little Rascals TV show from back in the day was set during the time of The Great Depression.. which kinda mirrors this story where all these people are living in budget motels and barley getting by. I hope more people watch this film! I loved Anora but I honestly think this is Sean Bakers best film! And last but not least.. can't forget to shout out Willem Dafoe! He is such a great actor! I loved him as Bobby! He looked out after those kids more than anyone!! Again glad you liked it!! Can't wait for you guys to see my next one!! 🫢🫣

I didn't know that. What else was Mooney in?

Rebecca Karsner

The actress was also in Cocaine Bear lolol... that was obviously after The Florida Project.. but she had acting credits before filming this

Envision

Oh wow, I've wanted to see this one for a while.

PIG

It’s an indie movie so make sure to rent it on Amazon if you’re watching along :) That way they get some sort of profit for making the film!

Sterling Chaney

Curious what everyone else thinks, but I've interpreted the ending as being kind of an abstract dream sequence. Those kids didn't literally get into the Disney Land, but maybe its kind of a metaphor of Moonee moving on to a better life.

Rebecca Karsner

Yes I agree. I believe the ending was just Moonee's imagination. She imagined running away with her Bestie and go to the "happiest place on earth" I think Sean Baker just wanted to give a happier ending then the one that was about to unfold. Moonee throughout this whole film is always sorta using her imagination if you think about it. They are living in a pretty old run down motel but to Moonee and her friends it is this magical place. They don't fully grasp their poverty stricken situation. I know there are some that have issues with the ending.. but I think its beautiful. Especially considering we know Moonnee really wanted to go to Disney World.. because the scene where they sold those magic wrist bands to that guy, you can tell Moonne was so sad to give them to him. That would totally suck as a kid, to live near this "magical" place but not being able to afford to go there. Tourism is great for city's and towns but it often does so much damage to the people living there.

Tom Eyers

I loved Anora too, and I'm glad he won those Oscars, but agreed that this is Sean Baker's finest hour. What an extraordinary film.

jami hicks

I can not stop thinking about this MOVIE!! Absolutely love this one! Thank you!!!! Mooney is a legend, that picture of her in front of that burning building,, epic….. 🔥🔥🔥

Rebecca Karsner

I am so glad you loved it!! And yea I thought about this movie for days after I first watched it!! And yea OMG that photo of her!! Lol.. I mean could she look any more guilty??

Rebecca Karsner

I was very disappointed this didn't get a best picture nomination back in the day. It only received an Oscar nomination for Willem Dafoe for best supporting actor... which is great!! But Brooklynn Prince should have been nominated too! She was outstanding! And obviously I wanted a best picture nomination.. but oh well!! Lol.. Yes I was glad he won for Anora! He really is a great filmmaker.. all his films are so real and just take you on a journey of the human experience through these different stories!!

Dan Gershgol

This movie really kept my attention. Very good.

Rebecca Karsner

I love that!! ❤️ Thanks for giving it a watch!

I delivered in Orlando a week ago and drove by this area when I left. They painted the Magic Castle Motel GRAY!!! So disappointing, the Purple was so iconic! Wish I could have stopped and walked around some. I love this movie so much, keep returning to it.

Rebecca Karsner

OMG!! Why would they paint it!!?? The purple is so iconic! Was actually planning to see the motel the next time I'm in Florida... man that's so disappointing!! I know, I love this movie so much. I watch it quite often!! Lol 😁
