"Mr. Pope's Penguin" is not a novel movie. Conception, actor performance, plot, no matter how you look at it, we can find more than 20 similar films: successful people lose their way in the river of life and forget the true purpose of life; lead actors or exaggerated humor or The performance is restrained and unobtrusive; the seemingly absurd but subtle plot, the protagonist goes from lost to retrieved, and finally ends with a happy ending. But when these elements are combined together, it becomes a wonderful film that is "tears in laughter", suitable for parents and children to watch. It is said that "tears in laughter" is now a slot, and it is a popular film slogan used by "some public relations teams who were born in a small town with eight lines and grew up under the immersion of "Friends" and "Readers". Words that objectively and truly reflect my state of watching movies.
The film is adapted from the American children's novel of the same name in the 1930s. In fact, the plot setting is completely different except for the protagonist's name and main character following the original, and the same humorous style. The former is based on the background of the 1930s. It tells how an ordinary person with a wife and children can pursue and realize their dreams in ordinary life. This is not a story similar to "The Moon and Sixpence", but provides A completely different sample of dream chasers: Even if they do not deviate from the right track of life and shoulder family responsibilities, it is possible for people to let their dreams shine into reality. The latter is a man who was born in the 1970s and grew up as a social elite in the new millennium. At work, he was shrewd and capable of insight into the hearts of the people and used it as a means of victory. In life, he was unable to communicate effectively with his family. The family boat almost hit a rock and sank. Until the arrival of a group of penguins, everything quietly changed: the high-end luxury but cold apartment became lively and humane with the addition of penguins. Mr. Pope’s separated wife and two children gradually got close to him, and Pope During the interaction with Penguin, the husband learns to understand the needs of others and accepts and accommodates these needs with a considerate attitude. As a result, love flows between husband and wife, father and son again. Kim Carey’s rich facial expressions, the funny actions of cute penguins, and even the ridiculous costumes of the assistant Pippi all poke the audience’s laughter; the emotions between Mr. Pope and his inseparable wife, The communication between Mr. Pope and his adolescent daughter was blunt and mellow at first, and the gap between Mr. Pope and his father was eliminated. There is always a certain segment that will hit the soft corner of your heart.
Think about it, on a midsummer night, while eating ice cream with a child, watching Mr. Pope stroll a group of penguins on the snow-covered Manhattan Avenue. His rubber face is often an expression that makes you smile, occasionally. With a look of loss and sorrow, we can tell the children at this time: "When adults are also'lost' like children, they walk and forget the most important things. Remember to keep faith in me and remind me."
