This movie is about one family who lives in America. Miranda told her husband Daniel that she wants a divorce, and he could meet his children only once a week. He heard that his wife was advertising for a housekeeper, so he asked his brother who works with makeup in the movie world to help him and he disguised himself as an old woman because he couldn’t stand that he hardly met his children. So that, he entered into the house as a housekeeper “Mrs. Doubtfire”. It was a comical and heart-warming story.
The characters in this movie are Daniel, Miranda, Lydia, Christopher, Natalie, Stuart and Frank. The main character is Daniel alias Mrs. Doubtfire. He is a father who loved three children. He has a strong sense of responsibility for children and obeys with his beliefs. He worked as an actor and a voice artist. But he was also a troublemaker, so he stopped his work if his opinion doesn’t correspond with his work partners. On the other hand, when he lives as Mrs. Doubtfire, everyone has a good impression to this dignified woman. At first, he played with his children but he made them to study homework after he changed to Mrs. Doubtfire. Next is Miranda. She is a wife and an interior designer. Her personality is basically stern. She told her husband to divorce because he loves his job and lives slovenly. During the interview of housekeepers, she had a good impression of Mrs. Doubtfire who saw through the personal reason, and employed her soon. Since Mrs. Doubtfire came, she gradually recovered her smile. There are three children named Lydia, Christopher and Natalie.. They are docile and cute. Stuart is a businessman and ex-boyfriend of Miranda. Frank is Daniel’s elder brother.
At the beginning of the movie, Daniel worked as an actor and a voice artist. But he lost his job because of incompatibility at work. In addition to that, he loved children very much, so she got angry with Daniel who didn’t cooperate at all and played with children, and felt the stress of her housework and work. On Christopher’s birthday, Miranda told Daniel to divorce because a party was held and Daniel made merry. As a result, he couldn’t meet children frequently.
The last of the movie, Daniel heard that Miranda advertised for a housekeeper. So he took his brother’s help and disguised himself as an old woman “Mrs. Doubtfire” from the U.K. He tricked her and their children with his acting ability, and he could be beside his children. But some difficulties were in front of him. At last, all the secrets came out, but they could find important things as family members even if their parents got divorced and the family lives separately.
I watched this movie when I was a high school student in English class. This is a really heart-warming movie. My favorite scene is that Daniel took an interview test to find work. Then he mimicked a hot dog, saying “ugh”. This was very funny. There is no one mimicking a hot dog. I laughed in spite of myself in the quiet library. I like this joke very much. Watching this movie and Daniel, I can find that parents do everything for their children. And the family connects forever even if the family doesn’t live together all the time.
