-I
met Hugh Grant after watching "About a Boy" through the well-known romance movie "Notting Hill". This somewhat decadent but very charming British man caught my eye. It is undeniable that I am a person in the visual department, and people who are long and good-looking will get a lot of preferential treatment here. Grant is one of them.
In this quiet and warm afternoon, I chose to pick and choose, but decided to choose a simple and pleasant film to watch. And now, I can say responsibly that this movie did not disappoint me.
One of the main reasons to like British movies is the scenery, just like British novels, there is a kind of implicit and introverted beauty. The same is true for British comedies. I have not called very much on American comedies. The overly straightforward and spoofed comedy plots may not make me laugh, but they leave me with unpleasant impressions from time to time. Of course, this is a question of vegetables and carrots. Different people have different opinions!
Grant's nice British accent coupled with his innate gentleman's feelings made the character a little more attractive. Grant's role this time has a very popular title today, otaku. Yes, Grant is an otaku who is rich in wealth and has no worries about food and clothing. For him, life means spending one time after another. Watching TV, DVDs, eating, shopping, leisure, sports, and men’s indispensable activities are love. Such a Grant is enviable. However, behind this chic life, Grant has a emptiness that no one else has, and has no sense of responsibility, because it seems that he is irresponsible, and he can live without worries.
When a beautiful relationship ended, Grant suddenly discovered that it turned out to be a very beautiful thing to fall in love with a single mother! Bored and bored, Grant attended a single parent party curiously. Although the content of the party was extremely boring, Grant met a single mother who was just right. At a picnic afterwards, Grant and the little boy Max met, and the wheel of fate slowly turned.
Max is a single-parent family, and his bizarre mother takes him alone. This bizarre dress, bizarre thoughts, and everything bizarre mother almost turned Max into a laughing stock. But even so, Max still loves his mother deeply, and in his life, the most feared thing is his mother's tears. Max's greatest wish is to hope that his mother can be happy.
In this way, two people who seemed to have no intersection at all met. At this time, a small accident pushed the course of the story. After the picnic was over, Max and his party opened the door and saw his mother who fell on the sofa and committed suicide. As a stranger, Grant quietly withdrew from the accident. Max is also at home alone, waiting for his mother who has recovered.
When the mother returned to Max, the boy realized that his mother had unhealed grief. In order to help his mother, to fulfill the responsibility of a son or a man, Max had the idea to match Grant with his mother. Come together.
As we expected, Grant was completely disinterested in this strange mother. But Max did not intend to give up. When it comes to his mother, Max has extraordinary persistence and bravery. This point was more profoundly expressed in the final concert. Max monitors Grant and discovers that the man actually has no children. One day, Max knocked on Grant's door, and one day later, he entered Max's life. Therefore, going to Grant's house every day to watch TV has become a part of Max's life.
From the moment Max stepped into Grant's house, the lives of both people have changed insignificantly. Grant went from being disgusted and resisting to automatically opening the door for Max. Gradually, the two people began to chat and talk about some serious issues. And Max gradually regarded Grant as part of his life. Non-mainstream emotions that are more than the relationship between father and son appeared, and quietly shook Grant's island theory.
Sure enough, when Max had difficulties, Grant stretched out his hand to help the boy, and Grant also began to feel an unprecedented joy and satisfaction. This is the power of responsibility.
The plot of this movie is so fluent, everything is just right. It is not a simple comedy, although there are too many plots to make people laugh; it is also not a romantic movie, love here is just an appetizer, embellished by the lobster; it is not a serious doctrine. Although he does bring us thinking, it is not deep or depressing. Perhaps, this is also the unique way of the British, with warmth and calmness, but it guides our hearts as a matter of course.
This is a man's movie, and the boy and Grant have a lot of rivals supporting the whole film. And the supporting actress inside is just right, not too stealthy. I am not familiar with the little boy playing Max, but the scene in his eyes is no worse than Grant, and his acting skills are quite good!
A person's growth has nothing to do with age, and when he realizes his responsibility, he walks on the road to maturity. Life is not a simple time consumption, but more importantly, a need and dependence maintained by people. It is a responsibility to friends, a responsibility to relatives, a responsibility to life, a responsibility to oneself, and a responsibility to life. responsibility.
