What is "perfect family"? "Mrs. Doubtfire" is a kind of comedy movie. My interest is that it tells us how a real family should be. It is expressed on some scenes like character's feelings or incidents. At the same time, this movie tells us some important things that is, "Family love" and "Deceit and Trust". These things represent this movie strongly and key words for "perfect family".
There are two main idea that I expected. First, "Family love". Daniel was romantic and passionate person. Especially, he loved his three children, Lydia, Chris, Natalie. They also had trust for his father. For example, they kept secrets between father, and they think deeply to him. They heard him and his wife, Miranda about their divorce, they were shocked. They missed Daniel so much.
Also, Miranda loved children. Even Daniel didn't get a job, she worked harder for children. When she had a new boyfriend, "Stuart", she thought about them first. She took an important role in the family then. On the other hand, children loved her too. They were glad to see her smile. Her smile was relieved their anxiety. They could guess her heart first, and followed their parents. However parents decided to break up, children always helped both their parents.
Second, "Deceit and Trust" caught my eyes. I found that habitual liar hurts person's feeling badly. Daniel worked as a voice actor, so he abused his experience. He began to work as a house keeper for his family. He knew it was bad, but he continued hiding his identify. He often told a lie for children, wife, inspection worker and his boss. He just wanted to see his children. Also, Miranda deceived Daniel too. She was serious person, so she has thought she doesn't go well with his character for a long time. He is optimistic person, so he couldn't think problem seriously. She worried about it and blamed herself every day. She often cried alone at night then. She closed her mind.
It was also described "Trust" as well as "Deceit". Miranda could open her mind for Mrs. Doubt, but not Daniel. She talked to her about new love, her past life, worry about children. Thanks to her, she could be positive. While children and Mrs. Doubt played a lot, their grades made great progress. They could grow themselves by her strict education. That is why Mrs. Doubt got trust to all members of the family. "Treasure of family", this word meant her essential position.
I consider this family seems to may be not perfect but they have a lot of good points. Actually, they helped each other and made up their weak points. When they are confused deceit or fake trust, with the big family love, they can be perfect. If you watch this movie first, you can laugh all the time because Daniel's strange behavior is so funny. There are many interesting scenes, but sometimes serious scenes in it. You can enjoy both scenes. If you watch it again, you can try to look for the style of couples. You'll be thought about real family form deeply.
