For many years, I think I will become a father who may overprotect his daughter. It's also can be shown in the movie I like.
A month ago, I saw a movie, "Jersey Girl". Hmm... it's a movie casted by Ben Affleck and Liv Tyler (yup, Jennifer Lopez is also in this movie, too) , and its user rating score in IMDb is about 6.5, not very high, so people may think it is the romantic movie in their first look, but actually the most part of this movie is talking about the relationship between a lost-wife-man, his father and his daughter. The character casted by Ben Affleck (I can't remember his name...) gave up his career and moved back to New Jersey for taking care his daughter after his wife's death as his daughter born. Well, to tell the truth, the story of this movie is very general, the struggle between career and family, blah blah blah, and finally the family is the most important. Yes, the typical mode Hollywood sale of idea of family, but I still buy it... For me, the acting between the man and his daughter (casted by Raquel Castro) is very touched. Hmm... of course, Ben's acting is just OK, but Raquel's Gertie is very natural. She was so ten-years-old in this movie. Well, that's so wonderful and perfect, kids should be kids... (Dakota Fanning's character is always too smart to be a kid.)
Another example will be the movie I saw today, "A Walk to Remember". (Actually, I did saw the ending months ago on TV, and I didn't pay much attention on this movie.) It's a truly romantic movie talking about a teenage couple. A boy was changed by a girl, and they falled in love, but dramaticly the girl actually had incuralbe blood cancer two year ago, so There's no happy ending in the beginning of this relation. However, the boy still loved the girl and try to accomplish the girl' wish before she died. Well, all kinds of romantic movie you need is here, including wonderful songs. By the way, the way of the director telling this story is veery smothly especially with the music, it can't be better. But, the part almost made me cry is when the girls father sitting around the girls bed, he told her as he lost her mom, he couldn't see her face for several days until he feeled he loves his wife and his daughter, then he cryed out. Any way, though it's almost too sweet, but it's still a good movie.
Well, one day I maybe will become the most tough girl's father for boys and I still have to find a good boy to tell him take care my treasure. Hmm... actually, before that, I have to find a girl who will love me and wanna marry me... So there are still lots of jobs to become that way...
In the end, here's the lyric of the beautiful song, "Only Hope", in "A Walk to Remember", proformed by the leading actress, Mandy Moore:
There's a song that's inside of my soul.
It's the one that I've tried to write over and over again
I'm awake in the infinite cold.
But you sing to me over and over and over again.
So, I lay my head back down.
And I lift my hands and pray
To be only yours, I pray, to be only yours
I know now you're my only hope.
Sing to me the song of the stars.
Of your galaxy dancing and laughing and laughing again.
When it feels like my dreams are so far
Sing to me of the plans that you have for me over again.
So I lay my head back down.
And I lift my hands and pray
To be only yours,
I pray, to be only yours
I know now, you're my only hope.
I give you my destiny.
I'm giving you all of me.
I want your symphony, singing in all that I am
At the top of my lungs, I'm giving it back.
So I lay my head back down.
And I lift my hands and pray
To be only yours,
I pray, to be only yours
I know now, you're my only hope.
Hmmmmm, hmmmmm, oooooh.
