The age positioning of this film is very strange, show it to children, it is difficult for children to understand some of the deep meanings; show it to adults, the plot is too straight. Perhaps only adult children who never grow up or refuse to grow up are the most suitable. But on the other hand, it is suitable for any age to watch this film.
The story is simple, and Du Niang's synopsis is as follows:
In wartime England, the magical nanny McPhee (Emma Thompson) appears at the door of a distressed young mother named Isabel Green (Maggie Thompson). Gyllenhaal), her husband is in the army because of the war, and she is struggling to run the family's farm. Mrs Green's children were found battling two pampered cousins who had just moved into the home from the city when nanny McPhee arrived.
Meanwhile, Uncle Phil (Rhys Evans), who owns half of the farm, is desperate for cash and is addicted to gambling, trying to convince Isabel to sell the farm. To help the family, through a series of ups and downs of magical events, Nanny McPhee uses her magic to teach five children important life lessons.
Courage, Love, Determination, Enthusiasm, Diligence, Imagination and Faith. The transmission of these seven important qualities is the reason for the emergence of McPhee. A child who does not grow up is a disaster, but a child who grows up with these seven qualities is extremely lovely. She shows up with the wind when you need McPhee, quietly leaves when you grow up, and only smiles back when she takes the last step and you can't see her.
And it's not just the children that she saves and helps. The mother's helplessness and hardship are invisible from the children's perspective. When Isabella smiled and washed the wedding dress that had been soiled by the children, she had no anger in her heart - the item was just a memorial. After the children grew up, What's the point of paying this price? That beautiful memory always exists in my heart most truly, and I won't forget the happy expression on the wedding day because of whether there is a wedding dress.
The scene switches back to the past. The newlyweds laugh and hug each other. No matter how muddy the ground under their feet is, it will not affect their happiness. The white veil, where it flutters, is the happy smile of the bride. The same veil is now yellow and tattered, but when it is hung up, it will still gently fly up, and the waves of wheat on the fields behind reflect the golden color. She still smiled happily, believing that her husband would one day return from the battlefield and hug her and her children again.
This scene made me burst into tears, who said it was a comedy? This is clearly a sensational movie!
You have to admit that some people's beliefs are indeed powerful. They are so powerful and beautiful. And those who have not yet acquired this ability need McPhee.
And McPhee, exists around each of us. She may not be magic, she may not be a certain person, maybe you found her in your heart in the end.
We all need a nanny McPhee, lowercase n, uppercase P.
