1-03a: Thematic Reviews of The Movie, Mrs. Doubtfire

The movie is humorous movie. In the movie, a awkward family is featured. Especially, a father is awkward. Whatever he does is not made well. He seems that he is not good communicating with people. He can't communicate with family members, coworkers, but he tries to make people laugh. His actions to do them are just waste. I am sometimes like him. I hope that when I talk to people, especially friends of mine,I want to make them happy by talking about something funny,but whether I can do it depends on a situation in which people relax. I feel sensitive emotions of people sensitively. I think I am dull part of it. Most of friends of mine express their honest opinions by their faces, so I can understand how they feel by talking to me. There is a difference between me and the father. It is that he speaks English and I speak Japanese. Usually, Japanese culture is high context culture. American culture is low context culture,so I mean that it is hard for American to express what they want to inform with few words,but we can express it more easily than American.

Because the father is not good making good relationships with his wife and his workplace.,he has to get divorced with her and leave there. It is said that communication is the most important thing to survive over  future worlds. I understood the reason why many people who are older than 

me say that communication skill is important.It is very simple. It is essential that many people have to communicate with others to do something inevitable for them,for example, when they want to buy something, they have to talk to someone related the item they want. I think communicating is a part of a basic tool to live,but it is useful and essential.It is connected to my major subject. I am in English department in which communicating is considered as the most important thing. In the movie importance of communication is enhanced.

Finally, I expect that all of family members feel happy by  coming true their hopes,for example,in the father's case, his communication skill become surprisingly good. If so, their family will become a good family,and His extra wife will hear a rumor that he has changed his attitude. After that, she will come back to his house and fall in love with him again. It seems very happy end. I think this way to end the movie is definitely strange though.
