To Understand Our Parents
I have seen the movie Freaky Friday for
not only one time. Every time that I see the movie, I
feel a strong feeling that I am totally conquered by it.
The
movie
is
about
a
body
switch
between
a
daughter
and
a
mother.
There
is
a
broad
generation gap between them. The m
other can’t understand almost everything of her daughter. She
doesn’t approve of her daughter’s band .She can
also not stand why her daughter only gets
a “F”
in
the
exam.
What
’
s
more,
she
thinks
her
daughter’s would
-be
boyfriend
is
terrible.
But
on
the
other
side,
the
daughter
is
also
rebellious
of
her
mother,
especially
when
it
comes
to
her
prospective stepfather. One day, strange things
have happened .They have got the other’s body! So
they have to come into the other’s life
and deal with the things that they thought terrible before. It
is
exactly
the
switch
that
makes
them
to
learn
about,
to
excuse
and
to
understand
the
other.
Finally, they get themselves
’
body when they looking at the other
’
s eyes directly and saying
”
I
’
m
sorry
”
.
What
the
movie
impresses
me
is,
on
one
hand,
that
it
brings
us
happiness.
When
I
was
watching the movie,
I can just not help laughing .In my inspective, the magical body switch, we
can probably also say, the life switch is the critical part of the whole design of the movie.
On the other hand, the movie leaves me thinking about the conflict between my parents and I.
We
do
have
many
different
opinions,
thoughts
and
even
values
in
many
aspects,
such
as
in
the
education,
in
the consuming
and so
on.
In
this
time,
we
can
usually
not
understand
each
other
which
may
even cause
serious
quarrels
between
us. Sometimes
I
imagine
that
if
only
I was
the
parent of my parents! But after watching the movie, I have realized that
what I was thinking is so
stupid! As their children, I should try to understand my
parents’ thoughts and behaviors
instead of
complaining, being angry or inpatient.
In
the
modern
society,
there
are
too
many
conflicts,
quarrels
and
even
murders
between
parents and children, which has become already a serious social problem. In my opinion, what we
needs is only sincere communication and mutual understanding. Through a together-walk, a brief
letter and many things like this, we can all make it. Besides, we should view things not only in our
position, but also in our parents
’
position. By this way, many conflicts and misunderstandings can
be avoided.
