      Warm literary film

      I went to the supermarket in the evening and saw that the supermarket was dealing with a batch of genuine VCD films. Each film was 1.9. I picked a few, including this one.
         The film is very warm, the heroine is very beautiful, and the two people who love each other eventually separate, because after all, life is not just about love, but also family and responsibility. The dialogue and interpretation of the two people in the film are wonderful.
         The hostess is really neurotic, and...

      The arrogance and reservedness of outsiders

      The film believes that the selling point is cultural differences. At present, Spanish culture accounts for a large proportion of American culture, so it is not surprising that such a film is made. But I secretly thought this was just a second-rate movie in China.
      The actor's performance is more dramatic, the processing is too exciting, and it seems unnatural. For example, at the beginning, Flo hid and cried, walked up and down the steps, and I thought it looked fake. Both the little girl...

      Weird ending, crusade with two philosophical theories

      Spanglish, Chinglish, Singlish, due to the global expansion of English, as the vanguard of cultural invasion, naturally gave birth to many weird freaks.

      Spanglish, Spanish-style English. The first time I heard about this movie was a recommendation from a classmate in my Spanish class, and since the topic was more appealing, I placed it high on my list of movies to watch.

      This film has a lot of weirdness, and the one that strikes me the most weird is that it has to be...

      Mother always knows what you don't understand

      I read a post before, saying that the son's view of his father has a valley-shaped trend. Before the age of 10, he thought his father was a giant, a hero, who could do anything. When he was young, he thought his father was outdated, conservative, and ignorant. When I was middle-aged, I began to feel that I was ignorant. As I got more and more, I gradually realized all the considerations of my father. I felt that my father knew everything. The
      same is true for my mother. You can do it...

      Fireproof, Burglarproof and Maid

      I just made the perfect drama "Snake Maid" not long ago. Although the maids in it are not vicious, at least they are quite shrewd. In this film, the slender and beautiful Mexican maid Fran, who speaks Spanish English (Spanglish), is hardworking and has strong self-control. She is simply an angel maid.

      The hostess's setting is very strange, and her career failed and neurotic. Although there is a son and a daughter, the son is dumb, and the daughter is stupid, so they look pretty...

    Movie plot

    Mexican Flau ( Paz Vega ) takes his few savings and his 6-year-old daughter Christina to leave his hometown for the United States, hoping to find a better life for her daughter there. The mother and daughter initially settled in the Latin community in Los Angeles, where the language and culture, the skin color of the neighbors and even the dinner were exactly the same as in their hometown, so crossing the ocean did not cause them...

    Role conception

    James L. Brooks used the 10-page narration of Frau and Christina’s journey to the United States as the starting point for the script. The theme of the story is very clear in the narration, that is, the parents’ protection of the children’s moral integrity. And guidelines. Brooks also added a new dimension, the complexity of cultural integration. Brooks began to roughly conceive the roles of Flau and Christina in 1999, and later he...

    Starring choice

    When creating the script for the film, Brooks decided in his mind the candidate to play John, and that was Adam Sandler. Brooks thought he was very suitable for this role. In order to play the role of chef John in the film, Sandler went to Napa Valley to visit chef Thomas Keller. Later, Sandler returned to the restaurant and, like Brooks, worked hard in the kitchen, preparing food with other employees, practicing skillful knives,...

    Shooting process

    Brooks hopes that the film can be filmed in the chronological order of the scripted story. In order not to destroy the coherence of the story, he feels that the emotional rhythm of the film should be further accelerated, but due to the limited schedule and shooting budget of the actors, this change is obviously impractical. Nevertheless, with the concerted efforts of the crew, the filming of the film is still as close as possible to...

    Evaluation action

    The original meaning of the word "Spanglish" refers to Spanish-style English, just like "Chinglish" refers to Chinese-style English, which is impure English mixed with the characteristics of its own mother tongue. The whole film in "Spanglish" is full of "Spanglish" that Americans don't understand and Chinese listen to awkwardly, but the film's many comedic effects are precisely caused by this special language. In fact, this kind of...
