The fabled

French girl is undoubtedly the nation on the planet that knows how to make romantic films. Whether it's a misplaced threesome, a middle-aged affair, a homosexual relationship, or a girl's hazy first love, they can shoot uniquely and movingly. It seems that all the moral taboos in this world are open to this Gallic rooster nation, and they always enjoy the privilege of "exception" in love.

Of course, this is just the fantasies of France, or the romantic fantasy of Paris, a city of love. In reality, France is a Catholic country. Although the concept of family is not as good as that in the United States, it is necessary to drill out and teach it whenever there is a chance. But it also plays a pivotal role in their lives. Therefore, there are always a few light comedies every year to describe the delicate relationship between families and generations, and the box office will not be bad. As we all know, French families, in addition to being a little "famous" complicated (there are too many half-sisters and half-sisters.) In addition, the women's independence movement started by the French in the 20th century made the country There is a saying in my family, "The son is the parent's caring little padded jacket, while the daughter grows up and becomes independent. When her wings are hard

, she will fly away." So, the Normandy dairy farmer Bailey's family in the movie also faced such a problem. It's just that there is something special about this family. They are made up of deaf and dumb people and normal people: some rude and savage but kind-hearted fathers, some good-natured but squeamish mothers, silly and wooden brothers, they all She is deaf and mute and lives in a world without voice; there is also an older sister who is somewhat inferior and confused, but has musical talent and a soprano voice - Paula.

Bélier, the surname of this particular family, Bélier, shares the same word in French as "Aries". Therefore, it is not difficult to see that the director set an Aries character tone for the family. Therefore, they always make decisions in a hurry, reckless activism, and often quarrel, but they are always able to unite at critical moments to overcome difficulties. Others may feel helpless and even ridiculous when they see what this family has done. However, life is not for others to see, in the final analysis, it is to "make" for yourself to play. Therefore, it is not difficult to understand that my father was agitated and ran to run for the mayor position; my mother shook out many worries and inferiority complex of being deaf and mute; Or, Paula runs away every time she is ashamed, and can smack her crush in anger. In this way, after one wave of contradictions subsided, another wave of contradictions resurfaced, pulling the audience into the "ordinary" life of the Bellier family.

Perhaps, for the French, such a "big or small" thing is probably a "common meal". Because of love, we have to "tear", otherwise, how can we get close to each other, or how can we know each other's true thoughts? The difference between Eastern and Western thinking, tactful and straightforward, is also portrayed in the film.

The title of the movie is the Bailey family, but the absolute protagonist is the daughter Paula. A normal person in a deaf-mute family. However, her life was not as quiet as her parents and younger brothers, but full of noise. This accumulating contrast has also provided many unexpected embarrassments for her teenage growth, making it difficult for her to avoid feeling inferior. To become the family's window of dialogue with the outside world since childhood is equivalent to taking care of and pulling three "big children" by one person, and being forced and active to become their protective umbrella and glue. Sometimes it's full of joy, but sometimes it's more of exhaustion.

At the beginning of the movie, Little Paula has to help her parents translate between the family doctor and them, so the topic of sex in the adult world cannot help introverted girls feel a little helpless and helpless. The most interesting plot is that the "provocation" between the father and the mayor, the director really showed the "fighting" nature of the French, but it was hilarious.

The Bailey family, which is positioned as a light comedy, rather than a complete history of the growth of a girl, is a reassurance for the audience in advance. Because we will know that girls will definitely overcome their inferiority complex, embrace their talents, and finally win the support of parents, family, friends and teachers. And most French girls' films always love to tune in "cold and ruthless", and habitually send the audience a sense of "broken youth". In reality, how many families will be as pure and happy as the Bailey family, and how many girls will be lucky enough to persist like Paula?

The girl is full of wings, then she only wants to belong to the sky. The farewell at the end is like a sweet disappointment, and then growing up alone is the next sip of coffee. How much bitterness can be more maverick. Of course, the director so tenderly left us a scene of girl Paula's confident eyes, like the future under the tap.

    Fortunately, the subject matter is interesting, the lines are humorous, and the characters are kind. The bad thing is that the girl's acting skills are jerky because of the loosely structured story program. demo, how come there are so many good aunts in France with good temperament, good figure, good acting skills! When I was a child, I often had the opportunity to observe hearing-impaired people. Their expressions and body parts were more dramatic to facilitate communication. Karin Viard is really cute and accurate. Even better than the rhythm of sign language! I'm going to be fascinated by my aunt!

    It's amazing that such a bland family story can be photographed so well.
