The researcher also found that the awareness about the bad side of child beauty pageant starts to rise, seen by the action taken by the Hoovers. Stopping the pageant industry is the solution for the problem.   The critique on child beauty pageant reflected in Dayton and Faris' Little Miss Sunshine is represented by using four film elements: the shots, the angle, the color and the music. The shot is useful to reveal the whole mood, the angle emphasizes how the subject matters, the color can build an emotional appeal and music suggests the spirit of the film. In conclusion, the researcher finds out that Dayton and Faris' Little Miss Sunshine is a great movie to criticize the child beauty pageant and to give awareness about the existence of gender domination that lives within the society nowadays.
