If I had seen this movie ten years ago

I really always feel that some movies are hard to taste after that age, except for a few classics that have passed through the times.

For example, I watched "Mr. Pop's Penguins" yesterday, a funny and warm adult spiritual healing journey. From six funny and clumsy penguins to a shrewd, shrewd and mercenary adult, Mr. Pop has a relationship with children and families. , A new understanding of life, family affection, and love, and once again become naive, stubborn, but warm and kind like a child. Although there is a faint touch of touch, I also say that I have no regrets to say that if I watched this movie in junior high school, high school or even elementary school, I would definitely love him to death. Yes, if it was placed on me six or seven years ago, it would definitely have been included in the list of favorite movies, but for the 22-year-old me, this movie still shows some temperament of commercial movies everywhere. Some small details are unshakable Hollywood plot settings that make people feel a little old-fashioned. Basically, they rekindle the warmth of life because of some new things in the middle-aged and numb stage of life, and have a new understanding of life and family. New wine in old bottles, using cute penguins who can't speak human language but communicate with people everywhere as a highlight, and designed a lot of jokes in it. Kim Kelly's performance is slightly exaggerated, showing the mercenary face of a philistine businessman . But he wasn't sincere enough to impress people, and he always felt that the subsequent transformation was still one of his many faces, not like his original discovery.

I don't know the exact shooting process, but watching those penguins walking and swaying really inspired my deep love for cute pets. I can imagine that if I watched this movie in elementary school, I would There will definitely be one more pet dream like raising penguins.

In addition, my favorite character in this movie is Mr. Pope's secretary, Pippi, who really feels like a senior corporate secretary (this sentence seems to be nonsense). First of all, she is beautiful, speaks softly, dresses and dresses beautifully, which makes me think she is the kind of Xiaomi who has no brains for Israeli waiters, but she did not have much personal contact with Mr. Pope except for business; the instructions to her boss are often efficient Completing the quick and witty response in the face of emergencies, I thought she was the kind of business thunderbolt woman, but she often had the look of an innocent little girl who was not familiar with the world and faced the task of her boss. She was so enthusiastic when she was ordered; to say that she was beautiful and her business ability was strong, she had career selfishness, but when Mr. Pope was fired and came back, she still came back with morality. He became the most powerful assistant on his career path. So, who can not love such a beautiful, capable and affectionate female secretary? I always thought that something would happen to her later on with Pop, but it turned out that Mr. Pop and his ex-wife reunited. Then I thought I'd give her a good ending anyway, I really like her so much, so, finally, there is a police sportsman, this beauty is not pretentious, it directly shows her good feelings for sportsmen , so there's the ending where Pippi is beautiful in a casual dress and goes on a date with the police in a nice restaurant.
But in general, the stereotype of Hollywood commercial films makes this work experienced but also lacking in sincerity. Again, if I had seen this movie a long time ago, I would have loved it.
