When I was still a little girl I always used to watch Parent Trap. Before, it was just like any ordinary movie for me. Now, I already see the hidden message in it.
Parent Trap was made in 1998 and it is all about Identical twins Hallie and Annie who were separated at birth when their parents divorced. After the two meet at summer camp, they begin plotting to reunite their estranged parents. The Parent Trap (1998) is a remake of the 1961 family film of the same name. It was directed and co-written by Nancy Meyers, and produced and co-written by Charles Shyer. It starsDennis Quaid and Natasha Richardson as a couple who divorce soon after marrying, and Lindsay Lohan in a dual role as their twin daughters, who are accidentally reunited after being separated at birth. They did an amazing job in doing so because after everything that has happened to their parents, they still were able to reunite them and remarry them, in that case. Annie and Hallie were both affected and were harassed emotionally because one of them lives with their mom and the other one live with their dad. Annie did not have a father figure, while Hallie did not have a mother figure to guide them to a life that they deserve. They are both well off but they do not have the proper guidance through their teenage years and such. Hallie was brought up to be a down to earth kind of person, while Annie was brought up to be a very sophisticated girl. They were both experiencing entering teenage life not knowing that they have a twin. When they found out that they had a twin, they were both angry yet thankful at the same time. They were plotting their parents’ reunification in order for them to be together for the rest of their lives.
What is the connection of this to divorce in the Philippines? The Philippines is a very religious country and a very overpopulated one, at that. This shows how divorce can completely change the lives of the kids and the couple. The couple was shown as a couple who were both having difficulties before and so they have decided to separate legally and for the rest of time. The dad found another woman and the mom stayed single. Both of their kids tried to rekindle their parents’ love for each other and so they plotted a plan to separate the other woman and their dad and making their dad meet their mom again in order to fall in love once more. At first, there was rejection but in the end they realized that they loved each other very much and that they want to be with each other for the rest of their lives.
Annie and Hallie represents the kids who are going through their parents’ divorce. They have a certain longing to reunite their parents and it affects them emotionally.
Should divorce be really implemented? Or should the Philippines stay the same way for the sake
of children who need their proper guidance for the future?
