Movie that I can watch over and over again!

“The Parent Trap” is totally an awesome movie that I would totally recommend for you guys to watch it! All the elements that you’ve looking for in a movie, yes, I must admit that it’s all in here. 

Look how cute both Annie and Hallie are!

Starring the beloved child actress, Lindsay Lohan, who played both main character, Annie and Hallie, who is a long-lost-twins that meet back after years later in a summer camp. Annie was the sister of Hallie, since she was born a few second before her, and both of them have been split since infant and one lived with their dad, Nick Parker (Dennis Quaid), while another one with their mother, Elizabeth James (Natasha Richardson) since their parents decided to get divorced.Both of them decided to swap identity and get the chance to spend with the other half of their parents that they've been missed for years. They do also planned to make both of their parents to meet at the same place to unite them back, and it might just make the family whole again.

Annie and Hallie! :)

What’s really great about this movie is that the CG effects during that time were totally amazing! Seriously, it’s no joke. I was almost fell for the effects that portray Lindsay  Lohan to be in two character, which I believed that she is actually has another one of her, or in simpler word, twins, outside of the movie. That is how amazing technology during that time that totally classic but epic.

The main reason for me to watch it over and over again is because the movie is mainly focus on the relationship between family, which clearly pictured on how family bond that cannot be broken by the adult’s decisions. Even though the parents decided to go with their own path, but still they cannot deny the bond between their children, especially twins that one fine day, fate will put them together in a single place. That is what happened in this movie.

How precious my life is if I have a twin sister!

Personally, I do love this kind genre of movies. It has less pressure, less tension, chillier, and you going to get more moral of the story that we could gain when we watch it. Trust me, if you watch this movie alone by your own self, you’re not going to finish your popcorn since you don’t have enough time to focus on other things other that the movie itself. That is how good the movie is, for my own personal preferences. The movie also reminded me of my relationship with both of my parents and my little brother. 

You have to believe that, how hard your life is, or how terrible the problems that you’ve been facing during that particular time, family should comes first before it, I mean ALL of it. You have to admit that you need love, which only can be fully owned by you when it only comes from your family members. It is so much difference if you compared love from family and the rest, for instance from your girlfriend/boyfriend, or from your dearest friends. Do trust me this time that it is TOTALLY DIFFERENT. The love that you received from others are just temporary, which means they only appreciate you during your great time, and when they go back to their own personal life, which is not included you, they’ll forget about your existence since you are still nobody compared to their own family.

Meanwhile, it is different for family whereby they will ALWAYS love you for the great and for the worst of your life, and if you are not being around them, they still be thinking of you and accept you just the way you are, because that’s what family supposed to do. That is what happened with me and my family, which allowed us to share every laughing and crying moments together. I know, I know. You must be saying, “I fight a lot with my siblings!” or “My parents don’t understand me, controlling me all the time”. But just think about the cons from the situation. I guess all of us realized that fighting among family members, especially between siblings is normal, that most of us have experienced it. This is the scenario whereby a lot of stuffs flying around the room, the cat and dog are barking and meowing on each other and the greatest part, it became the main reason for us to get out from the house if possible by that night.

Keep calm and cheer people, since it is just nothing compared to other worse case, whereas you are being alone and nobody is going to pick a fight on you. And yeah, during that time, you’ll feel lonely and the sadness will haunt you. It is normal guys, for us to fighting once in a while, when the sister wore your dress without your permission, or the brother who use your phone but forgot to charge it when you realized it during the next morning. The fight between you guys is actually the reason why you’re going to miss them when they are leaving the house or you yourself have to live outside to further your study.

One big happy family at home!

So, moral of the story, valued your family more than anyone else, even though from your own perspective they are just the worst. Just be thankful for still having the opportunity to see them, hug and kiss them since they are still alive. Imagine those who don’t have the same opportunity as you, whereby their family members have passed away. And if you already forgot the real meaning of family, you have to watch “The Parent Trap”. Maybe you need to prepare at least two boxes of tissues next to you because the tears are going to flow like from those pair of your eyes like the two giant waterfalls of Niagara and Iguazu.

P/S : There are some fans of this movie has created their own version of the sequel for this movie entitled “The Parent Trap 2”. Wow, seriously...they are totally no joke!
