Best Mrs. Doubtfire review

I nominate this essay for best review of Mrs. Doughtfire.


Link: Essay 2-03: What's your justice? (Auther: )


I didn't leave a comment on auther's blog actually, but her review was really nice, which was separeted and was easy to read and understand. And she wrote some things I didn't realize when I was watching the movie. Those are the reason why I nominate the essay.

MR 2-1: Mrs. Doubtfire ~Smile and love are perfect~

I watched 'Mrs. Doubtfire' for the first time, which is classified as comedy movie. This movie is not only interesting and funny, but this movie is also touching. I found that humor makes people laugh and love makes people happy, which I was taught by Daniel of this movie once more. In this time, I'm going to write about smile and love. First of all, let me talk about a main character, Daniel, and the story briefly.

Daniel is a voice actor who has a wife working as an interior designer and 3 children. However, he doesn't work hard, and he always wants to play with his children. His wife got angry, and then they divorced. But after divorced, he still wanted to play with his children, so he decided to be a housekeeper to meet his children. It's because the wife needed a housekeeper and he has a wonderful voice skill, though finally his wife found who is Mrs. Doughtfire is...

Because he is a voice actor, he is really good at changing his voice. Besides, he has a He worked hard at ex-his house as a housekeeper. Sometimes he is strict to the children, but he is their father who loves them a lot so he tried to make them smile somehow. I know it's really tough to do that, and I know it's also really hard to do that. But he made an effort to make them smile, even if it's housework, which he is inexperienced. Consequently, the wife and children look happy and were made smile.

If they didn't divorce like that, I mean if he didn't love children a lot, he didn't become that housekeeper. Before divorcing, he treated children with a lot of love, he didn't do any housework though. There are many different kinds of family styles in the world. This family is one of them, and my family is too. All I can say is that most of parents love their children, even if they get divorced. We have been growing up for 20 years with parents' lots of love. Parents are great, and we do have to respect and love them because time is limited and there is no guarantee that you can treat them as your parents did. Therefore, we have to be appreciated everyday and to repay our favor to them. I thought about that once more.

As a conclusion, I just want to say that we have to keep smiling because it's "fortune favors cheerful homes." Smile has a power to invite fortune and to make us happy. And one more thing I just want to say that we should love other people because love has a power to make people happy as well. Here is my one of favorite quotations, "As we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same." Let go of our negative outlook on life, and always maintain positive attitude! If we do so, we can make people smile.

MR 1-01 "Shrek"

I've never watched this movie before, but actually, I've watched Shrek 2 before. Yes, it's strange because I watched Shrek 2 before I watch Shrek 1. But maybe it's OK.

All right, so let's begin the Movie Review!

"Once upon a time, there was a lovely princess. But she had an enchantment upon her of a fearful sort which could only be broken by love's first kiss. She was locked away in a castle guarded by a terrible fire-breathing dragon. Many brave knights had attempted to free her from this dreadful prison, but none prevailed. She waited in the dragon's keep in the highest room of the tallest tower for her true love and true love's first kiss..." Shrek read this story. And this princess is the princess, Fiona. Anyway, it doesn't matter right now.


Shrek is an ogre, with green skin, and he is living in a swamp by himself. And he is called big, stupid, ugly ogre by people. He doesn't have any friends. One day, fairy tale things are dumped from their place and forced to go to Shrek's swamp by Lord Farquaad who is the master of Kingdom of Duloc. And at that time, a donkey who can speak and is a super chatter boxer was among those who are dumped from their place. He escaped from followers of the Lord, and then, he met Shrek by chance. Shrek helped him. They became kind of friends, and they went back the swamp. At night, there were freaking many fairy tales things in the swamp, they forced to go to the swamp by the Lord. To Shrek, this makes him freaking annoying. He decided to get them off his land and back where they came from to take back his swamp. So Shrek went to the Duloc with Donkey.

The Lord looks for princess to be king. He used the magic mirror, and he chose princess, Fiona. She was locked away in a castle guarded by a terrible fire-breathing dragon. Therefore, he gathered brave knights to take back the princess instead of his going. Shrek and Donkey were chosen as the rescuer. The Lord promised that he is going to get squatters off Shrek's swamp if Shrek takes the princess from the castle. They went for adventure. They fought against the dragon in the castle, and they rescued the princess. They were going back the Duloc, and on thier return adventure from the castle, Shrek and Fiona fallen in love each other. But she has big secret which she can't tell anyone. Yeah, she changes her appearance at night. She becomes an ogre like Shrek because of an enchantment upon her of a fearful sort which could only be broken by love's first kiss.

Their loves were not rewarded. She married with the Lord, but Shrek who found that she loved him interrupted the wed. Shrek and Fiona got married, and he kissed her with true love. She can't be beautiful lady anymore, but instead of it, she got true love.

Yeah, this movie is really interesting and funny, but this is good movie as well. The themes of this movie are frendship and love, but it's not only them but also its looks. Shrek doesn't have good looks because he is ogre, however, he has really pure heart. Why beautiful princess, Fiona, fallen love? Because he had pure heart. So no one judge people by their looks.
