Yesterday I got the chance to watch a movie named The Nanny Diaries. It was quite an old
movie. It was aired on 2007. The main character is Annie Braddock played by Scarlett
Johansson.
So, what's about this movie that makes it really interesting for me to write a review after
several years it was screened?
Firstly, I am gonna summarised a bit of the story. This movie is about Annie Braddock,a
recently graduated college student who wants to find a job. However, when she went to
an interview, she suddenly frozen when the interviewer asked her a question" who is Annie
Braddock?" She knew it was not a trick question but she just didn't know what to answer.
Some time after that, as Annie was sitting on the bench at a park, she thought to herself
that she had decided to be a Central Park bag lady(i don't think she meant it literally).
It's weird but, mostly due to the competitiveness to find a job.
But suddenly, she saw a boy nearly got into an accident and there her life changed. She
introduced her name as Annie but the mother of the boy got confused, calling her nanny.
she was offered a job as a nanny.
Basically, from my point of view, this movie is a satire story trying to portray the impact of
parents neglection towards their children. Why? because there is a scene from the movie,
where the little boy, Grayer the one Annie took care of, was scared of clowns and instead of
hugging his mother he went straight to Annie. This really shows that if a mother keeps on
letting nanny to manage her son, the son eventually lost their love to their parents. It's a
fact. children loves their parents unconditionally but parents sometimes forget that this
unconditional love will not last. there will be a time where a neglected child will see their
parents as strangers if the parents not giving the love and attentions the child acquire.
okay, i think i need to mention about a hot guy in the story. Well it's Captain America!
He's so gorgeous! Besides, i thought his character in the story is just a cliche appearance of a hot guy in a movie. where there's heroine, there will be a hero. well, it was not entirely about that.
There was a scene in the movie,
This scene was telling a brief background about him. Oh, in this movie, Captain America is
called Harvard Hottie. Yeah, he is hot. Harvard Hottie was telling Annie that his mother was
dead and his dad was busy with work. So, he was basically raised by nine nannies which
eventually end after he went to boarding school.
So, what's so important about his background? you can tell that if Mrs. X(Grayer's Mother)
keeps on neglecting Grayer, it would be same as she was dead. Plus Grayer's dad was too
busy in Chicago(he's having an affair although he told his wife the trip is a business trip)
consequently, the experience that Harvard Hottie had being through might also happen to
Grayer. Grayer would be raised by nine nannies or more in fact if the situation remained the
same.
After all, this movie really shows to us the different socio economy in a society, there's still a
lot more about the movie, but unfortunately i have to go. Spend some time to watch this.
you will not regret!.
