Can you imagine what would happen to your world if you and your mom swapped bodies?
The film tells the story of a mother and daughter who don't understand each other. The day before her mother Tess's wedding, she and her daughter Anna are quarreling in the restaurant when they are swapped by the old lady in the restaurant using witchcraft.
Tess
As a successful single mother, Tess has never understood why her daughter is always in solitary confinement and why she always fails exams. She thinks that if she were Anna, she could handle it better.
After the body swap, Tess came to the school to teach Anna and saw Anna's former friend Stacey, she wanted to repair their friendship, but in exchange for Stacey's molesting;
Even so, she still didn't give up and wanted to try hard again, but this time, she was framed by Stacey for cheating in the exam.
Is life at school really that easy? In class, because the teacher was the one who had been rejected by Tess, he took revenge on Anna, so even if Anna answered well, she failed every time.
Although Anna always said that it was difficult at school and the teachers deliberately made things difficult, but she didn't experience it personally, maybe Tess would never understand Anna's situation.
Of course, school life is not only there. Tess thought she could handle the exam well, but she had long forgotten this knowledge;
Finally, with Jack's help, the exam was completed, but after finishing, Tess saw Stacey's paper again, and she erased the answer and wrote "I,m STUPID! If it was Anna, it seemed That's it, so here, is Tess really going to handle it better than Anna? And when the band played, Tess also did her part of the guitar solo with Anna's help.
It can be seen that when a mother becomes a daughter, she may not be able to do as well as a daughter.
Anna
Let's talk about Anna, she has always felt that since her mother had a new wife, Ryan, she no longer cared about her life. And why does the younger brother always make trouble, and why does the mother always favor the younger brother. Even so, in fact, she has been working hard to be a good child. Her mother thinks that she can't ride a motorcycle. Although she is facing the invitation of her sweetheart Jack, he still refuses.
After swapping bodies, she also began to slowly understand her mother's life. When she looked at the chart, she found that her mother's myopia had become so serious; as a psychiatrist, she faced various patients every day, and Anna really couldn't handle such a job. .
Of course, from the perspective of her daughter, Anna can also handle some things very well. She thought that she could not handle the book about aging written by Tess in front of the camera. She had never even read that book. But from Anna's own perspective, she actually made this interview very successful.
So from the daughter's point of view, maybe some problems can also be handled very wonderfully.
We always live in our own world, without swapping bodies, and some things may never be understood.
Just like the younger brother who has always been annoying to Anna, if Tess hadn't gone to the parent-teacher meeting, she might never have understood that the person her brother admired the most was her sister Anna; if she hadn't swapped bodies, maybe Anna would never have been in a long time. It turns out that Tess and stepfather Ryan treat her so well.
As the two main characters of the film, Tess and Anna are two very full characters. But for the film's other two male characters, Ryan and Jack, it feels like a sloppy description.
In a day, in less than a few hours, Jack, a middle school student, fell in love with the character Tess, just to highlight that Jack liked Anna's thoughts, which was very abrupt.
In order to make Anna fall in love with Ryan, a small dialogue was used, and Anna completely changed her impression of Ryan? There is a little too little foreshadowing.
In the end, why is the sorcerer in the movie an oriental woman who speaks Chinese? This place also seems a little twisted, maybe in those days, the witchcraft of Asians impressed Westerners.
Although this is an old movie from 2003, there seems to be no shortage of social news about family and conflicts between mother and child, so it's not too late to watch this movie anytime; even when you don't understand you When you are a human, watch this movie and learn to empathize more. Will you be able to solve many problems?
