There is a simple screening criterion. When you don't know how to choose under the same conditions, the higher the cost, the higher the chance of good quality. I guess movies that require extra money to purchase under the membership terms will be worth watching.
Not surprisingly, it is really a very warm movie. "Infinitely Polar Bear" has nothing to do with polar bears. The male protagonist Cam suffers from Biopolar Disorder (bipolar disorder), and his little daughter doesn't know it, thinking it has something to do with Polar Bear.
Cam was born in a wealthy family, smart, playful, and passionate. When he met Maggie, a black girl, they fell in love and got married. They had two daughters and lived a happy, happy and free life. Maggie didn't know that Cam had a family-hered bipolar disorder, until one day in 1967, Cam suffered an attack and was unable to work and live normally, so he was forced to go for treatment.
After a period of treatment, Cam can leave the treatment center to live alone, but he cannot work or return home. He would make a mess of his living place, and sometimes go crazy, for the sake of the children, Cam must be separated from them.
Cam was born in a wealthy family, but the family lost too much money in the trust before, and he has no money in him. Maggie did not find a good job in Boston and could not afford the family's expenses. Not only did they have to move from a large suburban house to a low-rent house in the city, their daughters also had to go to a bad public school.
Maggie wanted to work hard to change their situation, so she went to get an MBA, got a scholarship, and went to New York to study a new degree in order to find a better job in the future.
There was no one to take care of the two daughters, Maggie had to ask Cam to help, asking him to take the daughters to school, cook them, and take care of them.
Cam was originally a patient. He was emotionally unstable, sometimes very enthusiastic, sometimes very manic. The neighbors were afraid of him and avoided him. Maggie also warned her daughters not to tell others that their father has mania, so as not to be looked down upon.
Maggie's absence, Cam had to take on the life of taking care of his daughters.
Cam said to her daughters, tell your classmates that your dad has mania, don't let your dad influence you to have no friends.
Cam often messes up the house and piles up a lot of things, and her daughters are very reluctant to invite friends to play at home. But Cam asked his daughters to bring his classmates to play at home, saying that there are a lot of fun things at home, he is very good at craftsmanship, and can make delicious snacks. After the friends came, I gave them all kinds of fun things and had a great time outside.
Cam couldn't bear the trivial pressure of taking care of the two children, and was irritated at a certain moment and slammed the door away, no matter how the two daughters begged. But at the end of the corridor, I turned around and found that the child looking at him from a distance went back home after going up and down the elevator.
Cam slammed into the door and told the two little girls that their door was not safe and the chain didn't work much. After that, he cleaned up his dirty floor and repaired the broken door. The girls now know better that although their father is ill, imperfect, and has many problems, he is safe by his side.
This dad is sometimes annoying and annoying, but more often he is happy, happy, free, and brave. He breaks the rules and takes them to do a lot of happy things. He shows them R-rated movies and teaches them to fight. Make friends, go to fun places, and play interesting games.
In the long life, there are irreconcilable contradictions between normal people and mental patients, especially before living in poverty. Maggie complains in front of Cam, complains about the difficulties of life, complains about running around like a man.
But Maggie loves children very much, and she also loves Cam. After Cam's condition stabilized slightly, he took the children to see him. When he had to go to New York to study, he encouraged Cam to believe that Cam could take good care of the children. When he came back on the weekend, he didn't get angry and hysterical when he found that the house was messy. When Cam cleaned up the house quite neatly, he would give timely praise and affirmation.
Maggie found that Cam’s condition was getting better and better. The daughters had made new friends under the care of her father. They had a very happy life. Maggie was even able to Go for a walk with Cam again and plan the future of the two.
Cam has never given up on himself. He has avoided the tedious work of taking care of the children, and has been working hard to take good care of his daughters. Repairing the car, making food, tidying up the house, taking the daughters to school, spent most of the night clumsily and dexterously making a beautiful performance dress for the little girl.
He has been working hard to behave better, hoping that Maggie will not give up on himself, and sometimes act like a baby to Maggie, hoping that they can return to the same way they were before. They are a family and a couple.
Maggie thought that after receiving an MBA, she could find a job in Boston. Regardless of the future of her relationship with Cam, the two would give their two daughters the best love and raise them together.
It's a pity that Maggie is black. The employers in Boston are a bit discriminatory. She couldn't find a suitable job and had to go to New York to work.
Maggie wants to take her two daughters to New York, but everyone doesn't want to. Cam can’t adapt to the New York environment and can’t follow to New York, but he doesn’t want to be abandoned by everyone; the two daughters worry that after they leave, Cam will be lonely and cold; and Maggie knows that after bringing the two daughters to New York, he can only They stayed in a dimly lit room until she came back from get off work, without anyone to accompany her, and she couldn't play happily like she did in Boston. She didn't want to.
In the end, Maggie decided that she would go to New York to work and earn money to support her family. The daughters and Cam stayed in Boston to go to school and live. Cam takes care of the two daughters, with restraint and responsibility, as well as warmth and encouragement, which will help his condition improve. .
Finally, there was a scene where the two daughters were going to a friend's house to play, and Cam was forbidden to watch them. They felt that this made them feel sad. The way he watched was so pitiful that they would never look back. But in the end, they turned their heads and waved goodbye to Dad.
A very daily story, shooting scenes from everyday life.
Even if there is no mania, most people's parents are furious and angry in their daily lives, and want to let go of them. There are also warm and beautiful moments. Everyone cares about and needs each other. The family members cry and laugh until the end, leading an overall happy life.

life be a lot of misfortune and sadness, but also There are many happy and beautiful moments, maybe we all have more or less problems, but family is the best medicine, isn’t it? The important thing is to have a cohesive heart, love and maintain each other, and then live a colorful life.
