Although "The Children Act" also has the shortcomings that the characters' motives are not clear enough, at least it explains the story clearly. Judging from the context of the movie, it also has a very high degree of reduction. The novel "The Children Act" is highly skilled, casting law, religion, morality, marriage, emotions, etc. into a person’s life, but at the same time, it is one-sided and lacks the perspective of God. The audience can only learn from the protagonist. Perspective to see things change. But in a non-suspense movie, this will cause insufficient or unclear motives for other characters in the story, resulting in damage to the integrity of the story. The shortcomings of the film are here. There is no supplementary explanation of the unexplained words in the text. The screenwriter is also the original, which will cause great trouble for the audience to understand the plot. The emotional cues between the boy and Fiona are weak, and Fiona's emotional change is also sudden and blunt.
But "The Children Act" provides two interesting appreciations. In the novel, the boy Adam is healed by the Child Rights Protection Law, but he has lost his religious beliefs. At this time, the law cannot provide him with self-reconstruction. Under the impact of his values, Adam finally chose to die. Therefore, after the law intervenes in people's social life, to what extent can it truly and thoroughly protect the interests of the parties involved. "The Children Act" did not provide a clear answer, but it gave a hint to express the direction of the meaning of children's human rights care. The second interesting point is that Adam regarded Fiona as his spiritual redeemer, but Fiona chose to stand by. If the interests of children are as stated in the "Children's Law", the interests of children are paramount, then when Fiona has such a big influence on the boy Adam, her indifference and standing by is just not in line with the interests of children.
The interests of every child need not only the legal level, but also the full range of care at the social level. "The Children Act" expressed a view: religion does not allow curiosity, but he gave Adam curiosity. Although society always advocates that no one is the savior of the world, for children who do not have the ability to help themselves, they hope that their curiosity can be satisfied, their trust can be found to rely on, and they will no longer be easily let down.
