CineTv Contest : Fatherhood

This is my first contest entry post in this community and on this platform. I hope that if I make any mistake, you will guide me down instead of taking any strict action.

I will talk about a movie that I watched with my children when my husband was not at home and we were missing them. We often watch different kinds of cartoons, horror movies, action movies, but movies that relax your mind and make you happy inside are rare.

The movie is called Fatherhood and it tells the story of a single father(matthew) whose wife dies during the birth of their daughter (maddy) and he has to raise his daughter alone.

What about film relaxes you?

The thing that relaxed me the most in this movie was that society around us give women the responsibility of raising children all our lives and consider it their responsibility, but no one ever knows how life changes. Everything changes with time. When the father is given the responsibility of raising children, he also takes on these responsibilities with time. So, it is wrong to say that raising children is only the responsibility of women.

Do characters or the story help with this feeling more?

The most relaxing thing we can say is that I got personal satisfaction when Matthew's mother-in-law and friends were all ignoring the fact that Matthew couldn't raise his daughter or that he would do something wrong if he raised her she maybe spoiled daughter and matthew isn't mature enough to cope with his wife death and daughter up bringing at once, but he did it and in no time at all, Maddy turned into a young girl.

Who do you like to spend time with when you watch movie like this?

This is a family movie, I would like to watch it with my family and the most important option in our life is our partner. If I watch any movie, I definitely show the movies to my partner because movies and entertainment shows relax your mind and give you temporary peace. You forget the hustle and bustle of your life and spend your time watching movies.

Sometimes it happens to me that when I am sad, I start watching a movie or drama and if there is sad scene in it or someone dies, I forget my sadness and start crying for the character in the movie. My husband is very tired of this stupidity of mine.

Are there genres of movies that fall into this category more than others?

I think movies that are based on reality, this movie that I have talked about, is also based on real life events, and such movies relax you a lot. Apart from that, I think romantic movies or movies that we can all watch as a family can help you relax and divert your mind for a while.

Any scene that still pops into your mind

The most emotional scene that I still remember was when Matthew left Maddy at her grandparents' house for his job work (where her mother also had a room and her grandmother convert it into kids room for maddy) because Maddy had told him that the things she wanted from him always got away from her and she had fought with her father. In anger, he left her there, intending never to see her again, but as time passed, he realized that he could not live without her and he went to get her back.

What you loved or hated about it?

There were many lessons to be learned in this movie that it destroys the society's idea of only women having children and raising them. Then if you make something your goal in life, you will definitely achieve it, as Matthew showed everyone by raising Maddy that he is no less than anyone. Apart from this, if life puts any responsibility on you, never put more on you than you can bear, so you should never sit back and watch the problem, but rather face it and find a solution for it.
