For us, love is a feeling that is sometimes extremely simple and sometimes complicated. If I have to use one word to describe "love", I think "smile" is the most suitable one. At the beginning of the film, whenever the great mother gazes at her daughter with affection, the involuntary smile at the corner of her mouth expresses more than any language. When little Charlie began to accept Mr. Church gradually, I was impressed by two scenes, one was Little Charlie watching Mr. Church cooking, the other was Little Charlie lying on the balcony watching Mr. Church go grocery shopping, Mr. Church responded with two smiles, and I think that's when Mr. Church's love for Charlie started.
The portrayal of the characters' feelings in the film is a highlight throughout the film. A mother who was originally determined to have only 6 months of life left, tenaciously extended the 6 months to 6 years because she was reluctant to part with her daughter. In the past 6 years, a chef who was supposed to be an employment relationship has also served as a husband and a father at the same time, just like Mr. Church said "because this is the first time he feels safe", sometimes the establishment of feelings is often mutual Some kind of tacit understanding formed inadvertently, such as Charlie's natural cooking after Mr. Church fell ill, Mr. Church never taught her any skills, but she learned it through casual glances. Cooking, cooking is an expression of love.
The film's portrayal of Mr. Church is almost perfect, a family man who is proficient in many skills, and has a mature and stable temperament. This is the impression he left on every viewer at the beginning of the film. Roaring at Charlie for touching the privacy boundaries he had set strictly for himself, he began to shatter his original image. At first I always thought that this episode was inserted too abruptly because I couldn't find the reason for his outbursts, including his second outburst after seeing Charlie trespassing into his room, and the wild swings in his emotions allowed him to It would seem a bit far-fetched to drive out his pregnant "daughter" late at night if it was just because he was drunk.
This confusion continues until the end of the credits, where the letter from Mr. Church to Charlie gives a complete explanation of all his actions, he is just an ordinary and ordinary man, he has flaws, he is unable to fulfill his father's love for him He was abused and whipped for some of his expectations, although it was only a passing, but thinking of the trash talk he said every time he got drunk, and the story he told little Isabel about the little boy Henry and the ladybug, could Said his father was the "culprit" in his current personality. I thought that maybe in Mr. Church's story, the ladybug he was chasing was the hopeful, undisturbed happiness that he had been chasing all his life.
And the reason why Charlie wants to know more about Mr. Church's behavior will make him furious, because he doesn't want Charlie to know the stories he wants to hide, as he said in the letter "Dear, actually You've always known", he's shown everything he wants Charlie to know in his life, even his best friend Jerry doesn't even know he can cook, because he just wants to show the good side to Look at those you love.
People get weird when faced with death, some will talk about everything except the dead, some will only talk about the dead, some will try to comfort you, some will just make you cry, some will just make you cry , don't say anything, because you know it all. The last such person must be your closest relative.
I thought the film would end with the story of Mr. Church, but when I watched little Isabel play that familiar jazz tune while making omelettes and oatmeal, I felt like I didn't need to tell the story of old Church at this point. No matter how colorful it is, it will appear "pale and powerless". A lonely man who has been struggling for half his life is fortunate to find a home, feel that precious and beautiful love, and pass on this love. Is there a warmer and more perfect ending than this?
