It seems destined that Adele will fall in love with Frank. This stems from single women's desire for love and from Adele's nature of chasing love, and Frank's love for the mother and son is also logical, flashing back again and again. Young Frank's actions of holding the child in his arms and his skilled housework are enough to show that he attaches great importance to family life.
But why tell this story from the perspective of a little boy Henry? Why does the precocious girl appear in the film and then explain that he had his first girlfriend in high school and changed tires in front of her, and eventually he grew up to be a pastry chef and already had a wife while reading Frank's letter ? What is the significance of these plots?
If the director only wanted to tell a love story, these details of boy Henry's upbringing don't seem to mean much. But the director wants to say maybe not just a love story, but how a loving family will affect the growth of a child. Before Frank broke into the lives of the mother and son, the boy Henry also tried to be a "husband for a day" for his mother, using his immature shoulders to carry his mother's joy, but Henry, who did not imitate him, had a difficult time growing into a man. . For example, he didn't have a father to teach him baseball, so he could only sign up for a modern dance club that his mother was good at, and was even laughed at by his father's new wife. For example, how to interact with girls. Frank is just a thoughtful man. He has insight into the needs of the orphans and widows. He does his best to do the housework that a master should undertake for them. He teaches Henry to change tires, repair cars, play baseball, build wall joints, etc., more importantly. What's more, his interactions with Adele unintentionally show Henry what love is.
From his first kiss to his first girlfriend to his wife, from a young boy to becoming a great pastry chef, Henry has followed the path of a child in a normal family. In the film, Henry confesses that he spent half his life worrying about his mother's emotions (to the point), but without Frank's presence, how much would his worry improve his mother's anxiety? Can his immature shoulders bear the happiness of mother and son? Will he be able to successfully grow into a good and responsible man?
Parental love is the best education for children. It's a pity Henry didn't have such parents, but luckily he brought Frank back for his mother. From this perspective, Adele is also lucky to have such an only child.
