THE FLORIDA PROJECT (2017):
Set on a stretch of highway just outside the imagined utopia of Disney World, The Florida Project follows six-year-old Moonee (Brooklynn Prince in a stunning breakout turn) and her rebellious mother Halley (Bria Vinaite, another major discovery) over the course of a single summer.
The two live week to week at "The Magic Castle," a budget motel managed by Bobby (a career-best Willem Dafoe), whose stern exterior hides a deep reservoir of kindness and compassion. Despite her harsh surroundings, the precocious and ebullient Moonee has no trouble making each day a celebration of life, her endless afternoons overflowing with mischief and grand adventure as she and her ragtag playmates including Jancey, a new arrival to the area who quickly becomes Moonee's best friend, fearlessly explore the utterly unique world into which they've been thrown.
Unbeknownst to Moonee, however, her delicate fantasy is supported by the toil and sacrifice of Halley, who is forced to explore increasingly dangerous possibilities in order to provide for her daughter.

He really tried to look out for everyone living there but like he’s the manager with a business to run, such a fine line at times. Great film

[@LindaMerchant-bq2hp]

Good man daniel was

[@HenryOrtlip]

I have seen this scene before, but this time it clicked different. Bobby wanted the $1.50 profit in the soda machine before kicking him out. 😂

[@karattkensair9891]

I think he did that so if there is ever any discrepancy with police he can say he bought a soda and is therefore a patron on his property

[@user-md6tq3oo1h]

Not to be that guy, but the soda machine guy makes that profit, not the hotel owner

[@kellymarie4607]

​@@user-md6tq3oo1h The owner is the soda machine guy lol anyone can buy a soda machine & have it filled & make a profit. It's actually a really good side business. The hotel owner definitely gets the money

[@friedbaloniTV]

@@user-md6tq3oo1h unless he owns the soda machine too, which is pretty common

[@bigbirdman225]

This scene is so good because it comes out of nowhere yet it's the turning point when things get dire. The way he pretends to be senile to try to catch Bobby off guard is chilling.

[@rampagingdude-dy1yc]

You can say he's "Willem Dafriend" to the kids, whilst he's "Willem Dafoe" to the old creep.

[@earthtoneemi]

HAHAGA

[@Young4eva121]

Beautiful!!! 😆

[@chairmanwario]

Bobby is the closest thing to a father figure that Mooney, or any of the other kids at the motel, will ever have!

[@Roareyknocks]

If you keep looking you’ll notice the girl never gets off the picnic table lol

[@ericeasterday5849]

I really loved this scene!! Usually, Willem Dafoe is a creepy, sadistic villain. But, I love how the Director in this film portrayed him as a good guy!! Especially how he kicked that pedophile off of that property!! I wish that Dafoe played more good guys in movies.

[@Emy-fv5ny]

He played several...The guy did everything 😃

[@superthickjonwick9734]

I’ve seen him as a good guy more than the bad guy

[@snooch1]

watch him in the movie The Hunter, he plays another good guy similar to this

[@KidFresh71]

This film affected me so much and keeps popping up in my heart and head time and time again. Bobby really tries to be a decent guy. He's doing the best he can; but somehow it's just never enough.

[@mariesmith6744]

I've lived in Hotels and with my daughter a few months and it kinda be like this everyone looks out for one another or let me reword it the people working at the Hotel looks out for the kids and some parents like me did. Because unfortunately Hoteks like that and one I stayed at attracts some not so good people at times. We got out thankfully but there some who don't. And it's very hard to w you don't make the greatest amount if money. That's why this movie hits so hard. I didn't see it until just recently but I love it. I love how realistic it is. It aches my heart too because it's not the happiest place on earth or situation to be in. Props to the director and cast for doing such a wonderful job portraying this kinda life, others don't really think about unless their in that situation or know someone in that situation.

@@mariesmith6744thanks so much for sharing, i’m happy for you and your family!

[@isaacmontoya9636]

Willem Dafoe’s character being a typical manager but also being protective of the kids is such an awesome scene.

[@RTransportGuy]

2:16 My brain is trained into thinking he was gonna say "You know, I'm something of a Soda Myself"

[@stevestarr6395]

Thank God there’s people like Bobby ready to protect children!! ❤️🙏🏽

[@ParkerStClair-no4jz]

DaFoes character in this movie, really gives me hope, that despite the disparity and hardship of his business and his patrons living situation, that he a defender, and a good dude, ready to protect, and do the right thing.

[@Flip86x]

It's not his business. He's just the manager.

[@Cinema-Disciples]

Literally one of the best uses of subtext in a screenplay I’ve ever seen in my life

[@valexcx]

What’s the subtext?

[@ia-bt1ck]

@@valexcxthe old man obviously didn’t have any good intentions… he was, at least, a pedophile. So, yeah, the best thing about art is that, you can say things , without having to say it explicitly: subtext

[@dangallagher256]

That's not your mother, it's a MAN, baby!

[@lucasrackley250]

Hollywood needs guys like Bobby to protect child actors.

[@Young4eva121]

I remember first thinking the man had intense mental illness when I first watched the movie. But someone in the comments pointed out that he was faking it to throw Bobby off. Wow.

[@MariePriss]

When he smacked that can out of his hand I just bursted out laughing. 😂 3:31

Williams definitely a talented actor it’s a shame some people only say they know him from spider man.

Platoon was the best WD movie

I wanna watch this movie so bad, but i hate crying, im so scared the movie is gonna make me cry like crazy.

[@jordanslam7254]

It's so worth watching! A truly perfect film

[@Edinboron]

If this movie doesn't make you cry, you aren't a human being.

[@kittyvalium6517]

It's an excellent film, one of my favorites. It will definitely make you cry but you'll laugh as well!

[@julianbluefeather8491]

go see its great. its a fun watch with some tough parts and an emotional ending but has a lot of warmth and love in it too. It is a bit of everything

[@gothbat676]

It’s not gonna make you cry, it’s not really a tearjerker. More of a simple drama

[@robinterry2906]

I like William Dafoe as a good guy.

[@ubiquitousdiabolus]

He just went from human to Green Goblin

[@LindaMerchant-bq2hp]

This story hits close to home for me a family member of mine was stalked by an old 58 year old deviant

[@jarvispal7686]

I miss this kind of living. Im grateful I was poor.

lol i wish i was apart of this movie i was moonies age in 2017

Me too

[@warneverchanges]

1:19 - you shouldn't call kids by their first names in front of a suspected child predator

[@EthantotheMax]

I don't even think that guy knows his own name.

[@OhNoNoNoNoNo]

I was thinking the same when I watched it!

[@abbnormal5698]

i think he did because he was so confident he was going to scare him far, far away from moonie

[@AM-fz3oq]

Is that Rudy Giuliani?

[@shem269]

Yes

[@kristianolliviere9045]

I can't stand Rudy Giuliani

[@benjaminrosloff4518]

Being a pedophile as we know is illegal, and it’s wonderful that the manager, played by Willem Dafoe took action to protect the children from a guy who lied to him that he was thirsty since he only came to hang out with the kids. Always protect your children.

[@JustRememberWhoYoureWorkingFor]

English is not my first language but that old man's accent sounds a bit British to me

[@johnindigo5477]

It's southern American.

[@Ranid-eq6so]

No to both.

[@hollowaang5284]

Joe Biden

[@maggiesanford8324]

Why can't a man talk to kids? A lot of judgement on the owner's part. If it was a woman, would he act the same? He seemed like a old man with mental fitness issues. Most likely harmless. You would get a lawsuit for treating an elderly person like that today. And you shoud!

[@MCKejml]

See how he changes his behavior after he gets the soda
