Essay 2-03: "Mrs Doubtfire"

I have watched "Mrs. Doubtfire" before and I thought only that it was very funny movie then. So I considered this movie well for the first time. This movie was so funny that I enjoyed it very much, and it makes me happy and tells me that family is important and valuable. The main character is Daniel (father), three children (two girls and one boy), Miranda (mother) and the heroine (?) of the movie Mrs. Doubtfire. Daniel is a humorous father and he loves his children very much. He always dose as he likes, so Miranda were tired and she could not stand his acting at last. Then they divorce.

First, the movie tells us love. Daniel loves his family, especially his children. After Daniel and Miranda divorced he wanted to meet his children. When Miranda came for children to Daniel's house earlier, Daniel insisted that he had still his time. He wanted to meet his children no matter what, he disguised as an English housekeeper at last. He could do that because he really loves them. He was a humorous father in front of his children but when he was a Mrs. Doubtfire, he was a strict and he took care of them. First the children didn't trust and listen to her but they gradually opened their mind and liked her. There were filled with smiles. If he were sad and painful, he could overcome them because he had a great affection for family. Daniel told his children and wife to love through a Mrs. Doubtfire.

Second, the movie also tells they need communication. Daniel and Miranda must have loved each other at first but they gradually didn't get along. If they loved very much, they crush gradually each other without communications because I can't know that she or he think to what. It is impossible for everybody such as friends and parents and their children. Daniel disgusted Mrs. Doubtfire and heard Miranda's thought for Daniel. Then he knew his bad points and cause so he could change them. It influenced on relationship between Daniel and his children.

If you consider somebody well but you don't tell them to him or her, the things goes wrong undoubtedly. When I work at part time job, I am always told that I have to communicate with our partners. If I do that, the work will go smoothly without mistakes or with a little mistakes and I will get trust from partner and customers. So it is very important for us to go well. We need communication not only family but also other place.

As a conclusion, I think this movie told love and communication in family, and we also need them. I haven't thought that family is very important for me, but I think that I have to thank for my family through this movie. This movie tells us that family is important, precious, and supported, and helps me. I could not have lived without my family. So I want to consider my family more and support and help for my family.

Bridget Jonse

I watched "Bridget Jones: the Edge of Reason" because I have watched it at least once. Also, many magazines said that it has been gaining support among many women of the same generation, and they have sympathized a lot. It was the best seller in the world. I will tell you about Bridget Jones.

Bridget Jones is the main character in this movie. She is a not so beautiful woman and she is fat and smokes, so she is a common person that everywhere we can see. She is a journalist but she also bungee-jump for report. She is entrusted with a little strange job. So, she makes some boo-boo in jobs or her private life but she is humor. No matter what she does, it's hard to hate her.

However, she has a boyfriend whom she loves very very very much. His name is Mark Darcy. He is a lawyer. He is a nondescript face and courteous person. Whatever Bridged does, he never angry and hate her. He always loves her. He is an elite and he is contrasts with her.

They spend happy days as same as ordinary people, but one day she was informed Daniel Cleaver by her producer. He is her old boyfriend and he is a also journalist and her boss. He is so sexy that he's always fooling around with women. So, she hates him now.

When Bridget was said that the date would be late by Mark, she went consulting to three undesirable friends. Then she was said that Mark may be having an affair with a woman. The woman is Rebecca. She is only 22 years old and she has long legs. Bridget was worrying and she went to his house in a flurry. She punted into his house, and there are many Mark's bosses. She put to shame in them. Rebecca is a subordinate for Mark. When she was invited a party of lawyer's association, she put to shame again. She felt that she got along them well because they were much cleaver than she. Also she felt that she was inferior to Rebecca. Bridget and Mark didn't get along because of it. They made up but she said good-bye to him after all because she thought he had the affair with Rebecca.

After 5 months, Bridget, her friend and Daniel went to Thailand because of the same job. There she was tempted him but she refused his temptation. She didn't forget Mark. Before taking a plane to come back to their country, Bridget was arrested and flung into prison for cocaine, but it was mistake. She was helped by Mark. To the truth, He had still loved her. Rebecca actually loves Bridget not Mark! She is a lesbian!! Bridget and Mark were finally joined in marriage.

Bridget is not special woman. She is ordinary woman. She loves, worries, cries and she is a scatterbrain. She is fat, so she has an inferiority complex for her body. She was given up for luck, and her timing is always bad, but she is honesty. She has lived straight. When she feel sad or worrying, she has the help of her friends or her family. She tries to do as hard as she could, so she gets many sympathies from a lot of contemporary women. If you lost heart, you would try hard, and the good going occurs to you. In the end she said "I truly believe that happiness is possible."

SHReK!!

I watched "Shrek" for the first time and the movie was so funny! I will tell you about "Shrek".

In the movie, the main character is Shrek. He lives alone in the forest, and there is a swamp near his house. He is an ogre and his skin is green. He has lived without communicating with others because he is an ogre, so he has thought that people were scared.

In this country, the people had caught fairy tale creatures because the people who catched them could get reward. One day, he met Donkey. Donkey was running away from civil servants and Shrek saved him. Donkey liked Shrek because he was kind even if he was a green monster. Donkey was funny and talkative. He also likes to sing songs but Shrek wanted to break the relationship.

This night, many fairy tale creatures were banished and came Shrek's swamp and they said that Lord Farquaad did this. So, Shrek and Donkey went to the castle to take back his swamp.

In the castle, Lord Farquaad was trying to build an ideal country and found a Magic Mirror. He said that to do this, Lord Farquaad had to marry princess. So, Farquaad had dealings with Shrek and Farquaad made Shrek and Donkey took the princess this castle and they went to the castle that she was.

The Princess Fiona was shut in top of the castle that Dragon was. She had to kiss fate person to remove a spell.

She had two faces. It was a night face and a day face. It was a spell. After Shrek saved her, they went to the Farquaad's castle. On the way, Shrek became to feel affection for Fiona, but he didn't take courage. Also, Fiona did so.

In the last, Fiona's secret had come out, but still Shrek loved her. He said "I love you." She also loved him. The two were finally joined in marriage.

The theme of the movie was appearance, I thought. Shrek and Fiona were similar to thought. They hated to be a monster. Shrek kept others at the distance, and Fiona afraid to let others know. Although they were monsters but they wanted to accept like a person.

Of course, Donkey was one of the most important characters. He was noticed that Shrek was kind even if he was an ogre. Donkey was busybody and had positive thinking, so he could open Shrek's mind and encourage having courage for Shrek. He talked too much but this is one of the most strong points for Donkey. If Donkey didn't exist, Shrek could not open his mind, meet Fiona and marry her, neither. He is a best friend for Shrek. Friendship and Love are also important.

I think that people worry about their appearance, but it is important for us to have courage and to look at other points like a Donkey.
