Movie 4

Mrs. Doubtfire
I watched a movie, Mrs. Doubtfire. This was my first time to watch it. It’s a comedy movie, I didn’t know that. It was based on the novel, Alias Madame Doubtfire by Anne Fine. A movie, Mrs. Doubtfire was distributed by 20th Century Fox in 1993 and directed by Chris Columbus. A famous movie which he directed is Home Alone. I have watched it many times.

A main character’s name is Daniel Hillard. His wife name is Miranda Hillard. Robin Williams plays Daniel. Sally Field plays Miranda. Daniel is a voice actor, but he has a quarrel with his boss at a work. He loses her work. Miranda is an interior decorator. Daniel and Miranda have three children, Lydia, Chris and Natalie. They are very obedient, and love their father, Daniel.

Daniel is not in good with Miranda. Daniel holds a birthday party for Chris in their house while Miranda is out for her work. The house is very messy and Miranda is angry. She decides to divorce Daniel. Miranda gets primary custody of her children. Daniel can meet children only once a week. He is disappointed that. He doesn’t want to live away from his children. Children don’t want to live away from Daniel, too. Miranda looks for a housekeeper. Daniel knows that, he apply for that. He disguises himself as a housekeeper by his brother, Frank who is a makeup architect. Daniel works as a housekeeper, Mrs. Doubtfire at the Hillard family. He is happy, because he can meet his children everyday. Mrs. Doubtfire is a very good housekeeper. Miranda and three children like her.

One day, Mrs. Doubtfire has a dinner with Miranda, children and Miranda’s boyfriend, Stuart at a restaurant. Daniel has a dinner with a boss of his new work at a restaurant. Their time and restaurant are absolutely same! He changes his clothes in the bathroom of the restaurant many times. Finally it comes out that Mrs. Doubtfire is Daniel by an accident.

Therefore Miranda formally gets primary custody of children. Daniel works in a TV program. It becomes popular. His children are pleased with that, because they can meet Daniel through a picture of TV. Miranda realizes that children and she need Daniel. She doesn’t look for a new housekeeper again. She tries to bring up children with Daniel. He come back home as Daniel not Mrs. Doubtfire. They all are happy.

It’s a very interesting movie for me. I laughed many times as I watched it. My most impressive scene is in restaurant. That kept me in suspense. I think Daniel is talented to be able to play many characters. I was very surprised at a special makeup with Mrs. Doubtfire. It was extremely real. The story describes love of family. A chain of events knit the Hillard family together. The movie taught me a precious love and bond of family.
