Although the plot of the film is indeed far-fetched, it still brings me a different feeling

In social news, we often see events such as "runaway mothers cut their kidneys to save their children", "single mothers raise their disabled sons to be admitted to Tsinghua University alone" and so on, praising the greatness of maternal love. Therefore, in our impression, we have always thought that the image of the mother is stalwart, tall and kind.

But the first sister has seen a movie, but the image of the mother in it is not like this.

The name of the film is "London Father-Daughter File", which tells about the details of the relationship between a black father and daughter. But although this film tells about the father-daughter relationship, we can see from the details of the film that the reason why the little girl in the film is only accompanied by her father is entirely because she has an irresponsible and selfish and willful mother.


The hero of the film is named Samuel, a black man whose job is to help people manage yachts. In Samuel's eyes, this is a good job. Although during the day, he needs to take care of all matters related to the yacht, but at night, he can borrow the yacht to flirt with all kinds of girls. It can be said that in the flirting industry, Samuel is a master.

But even such a master, there are times when he misses.


For example, one morning, a blond girl named Christine suddenly appeared. She handed a baby to Samuel, told him that it was his baby, and then excused herself to pay The fare escaped.

It is conceivable that Samuel, who was suddenly "happy to be a father", was stunned, but after being stunned, he still knew that he was rushing to chase the escaped Christine. Because, as a playboy, how could he be a good father? And because this hot potato is simply a time bomb to destroy his marriage.


But with the little information Samuel had about Christine, how could he possibly find her? As a last resort, Samuel had to settle down in London with his children. During this period, Samuel actually took on the responsibility of a father, and he supported himself and his daughter by working as a stuntman on the set.

At the same time, in order to comfort his daughter, he also made up a particularly romantic white lie. He told his daughter, Gloria, that her mother was a mysterious agent on a special mission and that she was traveling abroad. Therefore, in the heart of the little girl Gloria, she was never a child without a mother. With the help of Samuel and her friends, Gloria grew up happily and healthily.


If only Gloria could live with this delightful lie, unfortunately, one day, the irresponsible mother Christine emailed to say that she would be here soon. London.

What does Christine's arrival mean, I don't think the first sister will say, you can probably guess, that is, she wants to take her daughter Gloria away. Not only that, but what's even more outrageous is that when she went to court with Samuel, she even did a paternity test.

It is very routine that Gloria is not really Samuel's daughter, that is to say, the daughter that Samuel takes care of as a father and a mother, turns out to be someone else's. Such a ridiculous and stupid thing, whoever puts it on it, is probably going to be so angry that he jumps off the wall.


But Samuel didn't jump over the wall, he just returned to France with Gloria, who had escaped from Christine. It's just that we thought that such a comedy would have a perfect ending, but the reality is that although the ending of "London Father and Daughter" is far-fetched, it is still sad. Here, Sister Yi will not do too much spoilers. Fans who want to know the ending should go and watch it by themselves.

But I have to say that although this film is in the form of comedy, it has staged a different kind of father-daughter relationship for us by means of exaggeration, satire, ridicule, etc. But after watching the movie, we have to think about a deeper question, how exactly should we be parents?


Is it like Kristin in the film who willfully gave birth to a child and then left it to others to ignore it? Or is it like Samuel who is willing to take the time and effort to take on the responsibilities of a father even if he is unprepared but actually takes over? Maybe, everyone knows right and wrong in their hearts, but Sister Yi hopes that parents can touch their conscience and ask themselves if they can really do it?

Don't let your child's beautiful life be ruined in the hands of your parents because of your own willfulness!
