Full of warmth and touch

I have read it again, as if returning to the old days of watching "Family With Children" in the summer vacation when I was a child. It seems that the more I grow up, the easier it is to be moved by simple family warmth. It should be related to leaving home to study alone and experiencing the death of a loved one. It's so noisy, but everyone loves each other's relationship, and it always makes me feel warm. One thing I like more is that the film does not avoid some problems that may be negative in reality, but they all adopt a warm and positive way. For example, Claire began to doubt Gloria and did not accept the reconciliation of the two; Manny began to treat his stepfather. Deng Fei’s unconsciously obsessed with Gloria’s beauty, but he always loves Gloria... They give people the feeling that the world is always beautiful, and can be separated from reality and all kinds of right and wrong are created. Although everyone has various faults and shortcomings, the world is full of love.
In addition, the film is also conveying some deeper thoughts, giving people thinking.
For example, when Manny wanted to give up the fencing competition, Gloria was initially supportive, respecting the child's decision and allowing him to shrink back cowardly. But when he learned that he retired because his opponent was a girl, he was very angry, thinking that his son really discriminated against women. Such a concept is difficult to form in many Chinese families. But when I learned of the girl's tragic life during the game, I eagerly hoped that Manny would not be so fierce, and showed a lot of human care. This is really my favorite clip.
Gloria is also my favorite character. She is beautiful, kind, and knows what kind of life she wants. The chaotic social environment in her home country has allowed her to experience poverty, but she has also made her strong, aggressive, and dealing with interpersonal relationships. She always has her own set of methods that are not constrained and give others. Kind and relaxed, such as with Claire, and stepson's boyfriend, and step-granddaughter, can capture them with personality charm. Although it seems that she relied on marrying a wealthy family to change her destiny, but it is basically because of her unique charm that captured Jay. Therefore, become the best self and achieve something by yourself. The chicken soup expression is that if you are in full bloom, butterflies will come by themselves.
The above are all based on the insights of the first season. According to the situation of the development of the personality of the American TV series after multiple seasons, it may not be applicable to the following content...
