Special feature of 1905 film network Chris Evans, the American team, is no longer a superhero to save the world this time, but a superhero incarnated as a little girl.
This little girl is mckenna grace, a seven-year-old girl whose mother died, her father never met, lost three front teeth and adopted a one-eyed cat.
The story tells the story of Frank, a former teaching assistant of Boston University and now a ship repairman, played by the American team, who adopted his niece Mary after her sister committed suicide.
The film begins with the daily interaction between my uncle Frank and my niece Mary. Obviously, this strange little girl doesn’t want to go to school. (It is still difficult for the American team to hide its sexy and sultry perfect figure by changing into household clothes ~)
Although very reluctant, Mary obediently took the bus to school under the "coercion" of her uncle. However, the good times did not last long, and her distinctive nature was soon exposed.
In the face of the courses taught by the school, the little girl first staged a barrage of questions to the teacher Stevenson, and the next answer was even more amazing …
The headmaster came to the class to interact with the new students. Mary directly asked the headmaster to let Frank come and pick herself up.
So, on the first day of school, this little guy was picked up by my uncle in advance.
The teacher obviously discovered Mary’s talent, but Frank didn’t want to admit that his niece had superhuman intelligence.
At the seaside, Mary sat on her uncle Frank’s lap, and the picture was fresh and beautiful. Girls, men, cats, this picture has to make people admire the director’s aesthetics and composition. At this moment, the comfort can’t be realized in the noisy city.
Mary’s math ability is far more than Stevenson’s teacher knew. She gradually discovered that this girl is not only smart, but also a once-in-a-century math genius. But with the in-depth understanding, she also found Mary’s unknown story. It turned out that Mary’s mother Diane was a famous mathematician, but she had already committed suicide.
One day, my uncle took Mary home and found the woman standing outside the door, that is, Mary’s grandmother Evelyn. Evelyn is a woman who is bossy and possessive of "genius". She does this to her daughter, especially to her granddaughter. This time, Evelyn urged to cultivate Mary’s mathematical talent, but Frank refused.
A battle for support has begun.
In fact, the whole film revolves around Mary’s custody. On the one hand, there are utilitarians represented by Evelyn, who believe that genius is the concept of giving everything for modern civilization. On the other hand, there is a humanist school represented by my uncle Frank, who firmly believes that a genius should have a relaxed and ordinary childhood as a child.
The film proves the correctness of talented girls’ pursuit of ordinary life by describing a large number of scenes of Mary’s life with her uncle. Although she is intellectually different from her peers, her innocence and longing for a simple childhood are the same as those of other children.
Just like when Mary found out that her uncle was with Stevenson, she would look at the teacher with a meaningful smile like a grown-up.
But when my uncle asked her why she didn’t obey the rules and opened the door to go home without authorization, she slammed the door and hid in the room with the children.
In fact, she is very concerned about her uncle’s opinion. She will ask Frank.
"Do you really have no life because of me?"
With the escalation of the war between my uncle and grandmother, the truth of Mary’s mother’s suicide surfaced a little bit. In the second half of the film, when the lawyer asked her grandmother, "Did your daughter take part in school activities? Have you ever been to a dance or any kind of sports? "
Mary has lost everything except math since her mother was crowned a genius.
It is precisely because of this that she longs for love and a different life, so that she became pregnant with a boy who had only been dating for a month and committed suicide after giving birth to the child.
So, is "genius" lucky or unfortunate?
As we all know, the United States is a country that attaches great importance to children’s growing environment. Uncle Frank is just a ship repairman. He can’t provide Mary with a first-class "material" foundation. There are no luxury cars, spacious mansions, and even huge cockroaches appear at home from time to time. It is even more impossible for him to send Mary to an aristocratic school suitable for high IQ geniuses.
All these aspects of "incompetence" happen to be what grandma can give Mary.
But my uncle will accompany her. She has a neighbor who is like a friend, and she can enjoy a wonderful childhood and grow up happily like other children.
All these aspects of "yes" are not allowed to exist in grandma’s place.
So what exactly do children need? Actually, mary hit the nail on the head.
“He wanted me before I was smart.”
For grandma, she is a talented granddaughter.
To my uncle, she is just a niece.
This is the essential difference.
But Mary was sent to a foster home by her uncle. The reason is that the compromise of this fruitless lawsuit can only be that both sides take a step back. In this episode, mckenna grace, the little girl, showed amazing acting skills, and Chris Evans also shed her usual superhero coat and became her true self.
"Frank, you promised me. You promised me … "
Frank promised to stay with Mary forever, and she wouldn’t go anywhere. But I didn’t do it after all.
This separation has hit Frank particularly hard, and he is moping all day. It was not until he found that their one-eyed cat had been sent to the pet claim center that he realized that Mary needed him and he should not give up his promise to her.
Frank took Mary back. Although the little girl was still angry with her uncle, when her uncle’s arms were open, she still chose to forgive. This is affection. We care about our family, so we are afraid that our family will leave, but no one can refuse when family ties are in front of us.
Mary’s mother had already worked out the Navistokes equation, but she didn’t tell her mother and entrusted Frank to publish the paper after her mother died. This is also the biggest blow to Evelyn.
I’m not sure that grandma’s ideal of cultivating talents and making human progress is wrong, and I’m not sure that my uncle Frank’s choice must be correct. But it’s certain and certain that lovely Mary can’t repeat her mother’s mistakes.
The one-eyed cat in the film may be a metaphor of the director. It’s like Mary. The one-eyed cat is different from the normal cat. It is unique, and Mary is different from other children of the same age. She is a genius. If genius is only an additional attribute, not a decisive factor, then Mary will definitely have a good life.
In the sunset, Mary ran around on the uncle of the American team like a little monkey. This scene was really warm.
In the process of children growing up, it is often more important to respect their choices and listen to their voices than those so-called material satisfaction. This is also a greater test for all parents and family members, because even in poor families, it is still much more difficult to pay care and love than to pay money.
