"You have only been gone for half a minute, and we immediately realized that we must never lose you again this time." - "Born to Be"

This is a classic line spoken by Hallie Parker in the American drama "Born to Be". The play mainly tells about a pair of twin sisters who never knew each other and were sent to the same summer camp by their parents by chance. They looked exactly the same and were shocked. Of course, the sisters didn't know each other at this time. In the days after the game, the two played pranks on each other. Finally, after a prank, the coach of the summer camp couldn't bear it anymore. Locked up in isolation. In the isolation room, the two reconciled again because of a trivial matter of closing the window in the wind and rain. This may be the world of a child, pure and kind, and then the two learned that they were actually born to a pair of parents. , is a pair of twin sisters, but later their parents divorced, the two sisters - Annie James moved to London with her mother Elizabeth James, and Hallie Parker moved to California with her father Nick Parker, living in the vineyard. After learning that their parents met and got married on a ship, and later because they did not divorce, the two sisters had a bold idea. They decided to switch identities. Hallie Parker dressed as Annie James, and Annie James dressed as Hallie Parker. They go to see their parents they have never met. However, after returning home, the two sisters were full of flaws and finally decided to confess the fact that their identities had been exchanged. They put their parents in the same hotel again, and even put them in the same luxury ship as the year they got married, and took their mother Elizabeth James to their father Nick Parker's house to go camping for the four of them, and they did all this for the purpose of There's only one - hoping their parents get back together, and there's another intervenor in between. She's Nick Parker's lover, Meredith Blake, a young publicist who the sisters know is only interested in her father's money and is getting married. After that, the sisters had to be driven away, so the sisters tried their best to finally drive Meredith Blake away, and let her tell the truth. But the mother finally chose to take Annie James back to London. Just when Annie James was extremely disappointed, she found that Hallie Parker was with her father Nick.

When writing this review, I don't know how many times I've watched this American drama. I roughly estimate that it's about seven or eight times. The reason is that this drama is so good. Among them, there are also warm family scenes in the daily funny scenes. This drama can be roughly divided into two parts. The first half is about the funny scenes of the sisters, and the second half is to save the parents' marriage. The family scene . When Annie James and Hallie Parker decide to reveal the fact that their identities are swapped to their parents, the sisters and children are fully displayed, especially in the Annie James part, where she and Annie James are on the phone in a phone booth, and Annie James is on the phone. When I kept urging Hallie Parker to hurry up and explain the reason to her mother, Hallie Parker's answer was like "Then...the mother took me to the theater tonight, I...I'll talk to her early tomorrow morning", which fully reflects Showing the innocent side of a child, not only wanting to quickly stop his father from remarrying, but also eager to stay with his hard-won mother's love for a while longer; or the famous scene of two sisters playing tricks on Meredith Blake while camping, it fully reflects the ambivalence A child's naughty and witty, they are using the child's way to take revenge on the woman who replaced the mother, and finally make Meredith Blake tell the fact that she only loves Nick Parker's money, and they use wit to defuse the crisis again. In short, this drama can be called a funny and warm family comedy movie.

But the most shocking thing about the whole show is that Annie James and Hallie Parker are both starred by one person, Lindsay Lohan. You know that this show was staged in 1998. You can call it a " "Old movie", I can't help but sigh that the technology was developed at that time, and there was no flaw at all. But although this play is an old movie, the educational meaning it brings to people is still brand new - children long for a complete family.
