爱华网看了<What a girlwants>的感动不亚于那次在风雨中所见彩虹时的心境。 影片温馨, 小主人公真诚, 智慧, 对梦想执着,坚持自我, 对生活无比地热爱并享受生活。
主人公应该算是很不幸的了: 住在纽约唐人街的单身妈妈LIBY与十七岁了还没有见过爸爸的DAPHANIE.在剧中她们没有掉过一滴眼泪, 而我却不止十次地流泪了: 正是本来不幸的,生活在社会底层的人们对生活的依然热爱感动了我,让我觉得自己真是没有好好珍惜幸福的生活. 生活中有那么多可乐的事, 可帮别人的事呀.
剧中的母女虽然很”穷”, 小女孩每年的生日却在楼下的中餐馆里过得热热闹闹, 有滋有味: DAPHANIE必着盛装, 许下心愿:如果她乖, 爸爸有一天会来看她. LIBY也没有让小女孩恨爸爸, 而是反复讲述”世界上最浪漫的故事”----爸爸, 妈妈在摩洛哥相遇,相恋, 以及妈妈跟爸爸回英国继承爵位却被他家人排挤, 为了他的前途被迫离开LONDON回NEW YORK, 一人抚养女儿的故事.DAPHANIE因而充满对爸爸HENRY的向往, 不顾母亲的反对去找正在竞选英国首相的爸爸. 她的眼睛中没有乞求, 没有痛苦,只有对爸爸的想往. 她唯一的梦想就是与爸爸跳一支传统的FATHER DAUGHTER DANCE.
D: I feel like half of me is missing. Wi thout the other half howam I supposed to know who I really am?
L: Getting to know someone because he shares the same DNA withyou is not the answer. It is about getting to know yourself.
L: I love you a million Swedish fish.
D: I love you a million red M&Ms.
D: You have told me to write the rest of my story. But you havebeen writing the life for me. How about my turn now?
当然该片是典型的美国率真战胜英国世故, 美国活泼战胜英国古板, 美国感情战胜英国政治的好莱坞电影.看后的感觉就是一个普通的美国女孩就可以搅得英国上流社会大乱. DAPHANIE身为普通人不仰视贵族, 真心作人, 反而赢得他们的尊重.DAPHANIE善良, 但是她会对恶人反击.
When Daphanie hugs her noble grandma to thank her for lettingher stay, the old lady said: “Don’t hug.. We English only showfeelings to horses and dogs.”
When Daphanie tries to adjust to her new noble status, thesinger friend asks her: why are you trying so hard to fit in, whenyou were born to stand out.
Grandma says, it is not the crown that makes the queen. It iswhat in here. (pointing to heart)
Our family has sacrificed arms, eyes, legs for England. Youshall not follow that glorious tradition, son, because what you aregoing to sacrifice is your heart.
小女孩总是想办法在困境中解决问题, 不管是爬墙, 剪衣服, 还是灵机一动时装表演, 她总有办法, 很有美国实干精神.
影片中还有许多绝好的音乐与动人的歌曲: 主人公们都是歌手与舞者.
值得一看!
