private nostalgia

I watched it on TV when I was very young (and it seemed to be in English, maybe ICS), and have very interesting and warm memories, I even remember it was lunch time and inhaled lunch during the ad break. But when I grew up, I wanted to revisit it and found no resources until I saw it on Tencent.

And at that time, I didn't even know that the starring child was the famous Lindsay Lohan. Later, when I saw Lindsay Lohan in other places, I always felt a very familiar and beautiful feeling. So that's how I know her.

Speaking of the movie, in my memory, this is a rather old-fashioned story of a pair of twins who spoofed at a summer camp, met each other, and finally got together with their parents. It turned out that it was not. The twins met each other for ten minutes, and they had already decided to switch their identities after more than twenty minutes of the movie. The subsequent plot is very rich and climax after another.

In fact, apart from some coquettish moves, this film does not show very strong old-fashioned characteristics of the 1990s. I even think it is a superior work in popcorn movies, and it belongs to a family movie that makes money with conscience. Because although the twelve-year-old Lindsay Lohan is very cute, the plot is not entirely on her, and even a little moral (?). When the family recognized them several times, it was really touching and heart-wrenching. It made people feel that if they were not really sure, they should not have children easily, or it would be a pity for the children to have no father or mother.

In reality, children of divorced families certainly won't be able to become separated twins, but they usually don't have the luck to get back together. If you're not 100% sure, don't have kids, I think so anyway.

    Especially like "Twin Sisters", it is estimated that some people are about to speak, for the sake of their children, forcing unsentimental parents to remarry... The divorce rate is so high in the West, which is very timely.

The Parent Trap quotes

  • Elizabeth James: [thinking she is talking to her father, who has a newspaper up between them] Hey stranger...

    Hallie: [puts down newspaper. then] Hey Mom, did you know that the Concorde gets you here in half the time?

    Elizabeth James: [flustered] Yes, I, I've heard that...

    Annie: [after Hallie surprises Elizabeth and Annie by arriving in London and showing up at their home before Elizabeth and Annie do] What are you doing here?

    Hallie: It took us abound 30 seconds after you guys left for us to realize we didn't want to lose you two again.

    Elizabeth James: We?

    Nick Parker: [walking in from another room] We. I made the mistake of not coming after you once, Lizzie. I'm not going to do that again no matter how brave you are.

    Elizabeth James: And I suppose you just expect me to go weak at the knees, and fall into your arms, and cry hysterically. And say we'll just figure this whole thing out. A bi-continental relationship with our daughters being raised here and there. And. And, you and I just picking up where we left off and growing old together. And... and... c'mon, Nick, what do you expect? To live happily ever after?

    Nick Parker: Yes. To all of the above. Except you don't have to cry hysterically.

    Elizabeth James: [With tears in her eyes] Oh, yes I do.

    [he kisses her]

  • Nick Parker: You know, sometime if we're ever really alone maybe we could talk about what happened between us. You know it's all a bit hazy to me now. It ended so fast.

    Elizabeth James: You mean it started so fast.

    Nick Parker: Well, that part I remember perfectly.
