July 29 this year marks the 24th anniversary of the release of Disney's classic warm comedy movie "Born pair". This movie can be said to be the foreign film enlightenment of many friends, and the childhood memories killing series will definitely have this debut.
Lindsay Rohan's solo role as twins Anne and Hayley is even more impressive. The film was her debut, and her spirited performances and cute sweet sister's looks quickly made her the most popular teenage star in the late '90s and early 2000s.
The plot of the movie is very simple, a man and a woman fall in love at first sight on a cruise ship and then flash marriage, and soon become pregnant with twins. But shortly after the daughters were born, the two decided to break up and divorce, and each took a daughter back to London, England and Napa, California, and decided not to interact with each other, and did not tell the daughters the truth.
Elizabeth, her mother in London, is a successful wedding dress designer, taking care of Anne with her father and housekeeper.
Nick, a dad in Napa, California, is a wealthy winery owner who takes care of Hayley with a housekeeper.
In the summer of 1998, the twins met by chance at a summer camp, giving birth to a series of heartwarming stories of sisters meeting each other and matching their parents.
The twins fought with each other from the very beginning
Later, after meeting each other, the funny scene of cutting hair and piercing his ears
A scene where you practice your signature clapping moves
How many of the friends who watched the movie at that time also fantasized that they also had twin sisters and brothers?
In addition to the funny stories of the twins and parents, the golden supporting roles in the film are also brilliant. In addition to the coaches and classmates in the summer camp, two fun butlers
(Butlers)
Daddy Nick's fiancée Meredith Blake, is the most hated stepmother candidate on the screen in the hearts of many people?!
Meredith was young and beautiful, only 26 years old, and became his fiancée when he was working as a prist for his father, Nick, to sell the winery. While chatting with Hayley, when the girl asked her age and felt very unreasonable, Meredith replied, "You know, it's not a sin to be young and pretty!" "Also very classic.
She looked at no one, because the winery was too big, and even bought a rattle to summon the housekeeper aunt, which was very disrespectful to each other.
When she learned that Nick had a daughter, Hayley, she was very upset, and after seeing the girl, she said a classic line that was super annoying to the audience:
"When I get through the door, the first thing I do is send her to boarding school!"
She was then teased by her twin sisters and fed geckos
The famous scene of being pushed into the lake while camping is relieved and funny to watch.
It was also unexpected that the actor Elaine Hendrix, who played Meredith, was actually the most entertaining playing beauty in the cast so many years after the release of the movie.
Born in 1970, the most famous role of her career is Meredith. She often forwards relevant funny memes from netizens.
(Elaine also starred in the TV series "The New Giants' Grudge")
Netizens posted that Meredith was the most hated character, and Elaine forwarded the reply:
"I'm going to send every one of your spoiled little things to Switzerland (boarding schools)!"
In 2019, she played the terrier again, forwarding the engagement news of Dennis Quaid, the actor who plays her fiancée in the movie, and shouting to the fiancée of the other party:
"Beware of the twins!"
On New Year's Eve 2020, she retweeted:
"Well, who of you made this meme?"
In addition to forwarding netizens' play terrier posts, she herself often contributes materials:
"My plan (a leisurely nap); 2020 is like this:"
The picture on the left shows Meredith being tricked by the twins into the lake and sleeping comfortably, and on the right is a swim back to the shore, and she shouts at Nick in anger.
Elaine also tweeted, wishing the twins in the movie a happy birthday:
"He (Nick) never mentioned having two babies! It's really tying q... Happy birthday, Anne and Hayley! #10月11日"
She is also very proud to be the spokesperson of the mean queen mother haha:
"Please, I invented meanness okay ~"
Because meredith's character was eaten by the twins, Elaine also sent a video of the gecko speechless, and her sister knows the Internet too much
She also posted videos of imitating twins and housekeepers clapping their hands, asking everyone to co-produce with her:
She also replied to a 26-year-old netizen asking if she wanted to give up her career to move to Napa like Meredith, who was fishing for the Golden Turtle:
"I don't recommend it!"
Unforgettable lesson hahahahahaha...
What is even more unexpected is that in the past two years, the grown-up netizens have begun to look at the story direction in "Born a Pair" from meredith's point of view, and feel that this most hated stepmother character should not have been scolded so badly at all.
In 2018, on the 20th anniversary of the film's release, Elaine was interviewed and evaluated the fiancé and the direction of the story from meredith's point of view.
She said that everyone misunderstood Meredith too much, she was 26 years old, had her own PR agency, was beautiful and capable, and pursued a better partner, which was beyond reproach.
(with Lisa Ann Walter, the actor who plays Butler Chessy)
Compared with her bluntness and honesty, the twins' father not only did not tell her the fact that she had two babies at the beginning, but also loved the children's mother deeply, and did not do things kindly, so all the negative reactions of Meredith can be followed.
At that time, there were netizens who left a message:
"Wow, you ended my 20 years of resentment towards you!"
"As a 26-year-old, I know Meredith Brick now."
"I've always loved her !"
Some time ago on TikTok, Elaine followed up with the popular meme of "Telling My Bad Love Story", drinking red wine while telling the story of how she (Meredith) was cheated on by the scumbag, was viciously groomed by his twin daughters, and finally let go haha.
Many netizens at the bottom left messages, supporting Meredith:
"Growing up to find out that Meredith Blake was the victim of the whole situation, not the bad guy."
"Discover that Meredith is not the one who is poisonous..."
"Also Meredith Justice! She is a successful woman who falls in love with her hot red wine dad who lies about her family situation and loves her ex-wife! Elaine replied to the tag: #还梅瑞狄斯正义
"To tell the truth, when I grew up, I thought that the parents in the movie were evil people, and Meredith was not grinning!"
"I sympathize with Meredith!"
Elaine also forwarded the push to justify Meredith's name, and played the line meme reply:
"You know, it's not a sin to be (not so) young, (or) pretty!"
For so many years, Elaine, who has played very slippery, enjoyed it and continued to actively interact with netizens. Not only did she "justify" merely the role of Meredith, but she also became close friends in life with Lisa Ann Walter, the actor who played the unpleasant housekeeper in the movie. It is also very rare in Hollywood, where there is a competition for fame and fortune and actresses competing with each other.
The two also recreated the scene in the movie where the butler was summoned with a bell,
The entertaining spirit of the sisters was amazing.
With the progress of the times, the words and consciousness hidden behind the film and television works will of course change. The motivations of the female villain characters have been re-discussed, and the grown-up audience has opened up a new perspective, which is really joyful
