Pippi Movies / A great movie recommendation every day
According to the "Survey Report on the Current Situation of Infertility in China" jointly released by the Chinese Association and the National Family Planning Commission at the end of 2018, China's infertility rate has risen to 12.5% to 15%.
Not only is infertility problematic, but there are also many factors that prevent many families from having their own children, and they have developed the most important way to have children.
But compared to raising a baby, how to make a half-grown child who may have cultivated his own habits and temperament really integrate into the new family is obviously a more headache.
If you have plans to adopt, or if your friends around you have similar needs, then don't miss the movie that Pigo is recommending today , "Fast Family".
"Fast Family" is a comedy, a second collaboration between director Sean Andrews and Hollywood actor Mark Wahlberg after "Daddy Is Home".
Isabella Monet, who plays a woman with Mark Wahlberg in the film, is also an old acquaintance, the two have worked together on "Transformers 5", and with this film, they have both been nominated for multiple "worst awards" at the Golden Raspberry Awards, so many people did not have much hope for the two to work together again.
However, surprisingly, the market response after the release of "Fast Family" was quite good, and the Douban score was as high as 7.5 points.
The reason is that the film explores the extremely realistic issue of adoption while also healing the audience watching the film in the form of comedy.
Pete and Ellie are a couple who have been married for many years, and Pete has always wanted to be a father, but Ellie is busy with work and has not considered the possibility of pregnancy, and in the end, the couple has missed the best fertility period.
In a family discussion about whether to raise children, the conflict between the husband and wife finally broke out, and Pete asked Ellie if he had to wait until he was seventy or eighty years old before he could become a grandfather.
Faced with her husband's eagerness to have children, Ellie finally began to seriously consider the issue of the next generation, but she did not plan to have her own child, but planned to adopt directly from the welfare home.
In the face of his wife's idea, the husband and wife hit it off, immediately rushed to the welfare home to understand the process of adoption, did not ask, asked a shock, it turned out that there are so many doorways.
First, the reasons for adoption are varied
When they arrived at the welfare home, the Pitts found that there were not a few people who wanted to adopt children like them, but the reasons for their adoption were strange.
There are couples who have always wanted to get pregnant, but they have no choice but to adopt.
There are same-sex couples who want to form a complete family by adopting a child.
There is also a person who wants to be a single mother who can raise Olympic champions, so she requires precision and clear goals for the children she wants to adopt.
Although there are many people with adoption needs, there are more children waiting for adoption.
Second, the children to be adopted are also divided into three, six, nine and so on
In the United States, children waiting to be adopted are not necessarily abandoned babies, and more people need to find new foster families for them because the court believes that their biological parents are not capable of raising them.
This system has led to a huge number of children waiting for adoption in the welfare home, and the website of the welfare home will even write the age, skin color, and gender of the children, like Taobao goods for the king to choose.
However, in the welfare home, there is a tacit rule that although they are all children to be adopted, they will also be divided into three, six, nine and so on.
The first class, of course, is the children who are young, do not remember things, are easy to cultivate feelings, and have no father and no mother.
The second class is a child with biological parents, but a younger age.
The third gear, the least popular, is the teenagers who have grown up.
Because these people are often addicted to drugs or like to fight and fight in special upbringing, and they are often more repulsive and rebellious towards their adoptive parents, all adoptives avoid them.
Third, the troubles of adopting a child
The Pitts initially wanted to avoid the teenagers, just like everyone else, but in the end they found that the young children were too sought-after and forced to turn their eyes to the uninhabited juvenile area.
As a result, a young girl named Lisa broke into the vision of the two, and the calm conversation and unassuming posture made the two quickly decide that it was her.
Unexpectedly, Lisa also had two younger siblings, and in order to keep them from each other, the Pitts decided to adopt three at once, so they became adoptive parents.
But the life of the adoptive parents is not as happy as imagined.
Sister Rita has a well-behaved personality, as long as she does not go along with her wishes, she will emit a Hedong lion roar;
The younger brother Juan is sensitive and fragile, and will collapse and cry because of a small matter;
Even Lisa, who looked the most well-behaved at first, could not avoid the rebellion of teenagers: arguing with her adoptive parents, exchanging nude photos with strange men, playing with friends and not coming home on time...
A series of troubles caused the Pitts to lose the free time they had with the red wine and movies they had, almost breaking them down.
Like many biological parents who are eager to stuff their children back into their stomachs, they also moved the idea of sending their children back to the welfare home, but eventually persevered.
Fourth, adoption will eventually bring about a quick future
After more than half a year of running-in, the two relatively young children have begun to adapt to the new family, and when they inadvertently change their mouths to Pete and Ellie's parents, the couple is so happy that they are crazy and feel that everything is worth it.
But sure enough, the biggest child is the hardest. Although Lisa has always been more well-behaved, she does not really regard the Pitts as her adoptive parents. She had been waiting for her biological mother to be released from prison and return to her family with her younger siblings.
When her mother was released from prison, Lisa immediately turned her back and applied to the court to return to her birth mother.
Faced with Lisa's decision, the Pitts, who already have strong feelings for their three children, are reluctant but powerless to stop them.
But in the last moment, Lisa's birth mother flinched and did not come to pick up Lisa's siblings.
The expectant Lisa is poured with a basin of cold water and completely collapses, at which point the Pete couple step forward and appease the girl, telling her that he will always be her parents and will always protect her.
Eventually, the Pitts are recognized by Lisa, and the accelerated family finally becomes one.
The story line of the film is actually very simple, and the theme is also a cliché, but it is expensive that it grasps the essence of family light comedy, so that people can feel healed after watching it.
Very nice film, recommended to everyone.
