Bridget’s life looks completely different than we imagine after a happy ending of the third part of the film. The heroine reaches fifty, she abandoned her career on television and devotes herself to two children. One thing, however, remains unchanged – she is a single again. This time, seemingly the motif beaten in all directions, however, is not the point of attachment to the next comedy gags, and is one of the saddest and most mature threads in the history of the series. And this is due to the fact that Mark Darcy has been dead for four years.
“Bridget Jones: crazy about the guy” [RECENZJA]
Bridget cannot accept the loss of the love of his life, but This does not mean that instead of a hilarious comedy we get a tearful family drama from the creators. Because at the instigation of the surroundings, Bridget returns to dating and although her adventures are cut from time to time with bitter reflections and extremely touching moments, Jones still remains herself.
Bridget is the same mother as she was a partner, friend and television star – Not perfect, clumsy, often lost, disordered. The heroine again falls into the traps of excessive expectations of the environment. He is worried that he will not cope with the task of raising his children alone, compares with other (in her opinion ideal) parents. At the same time, he chases for chaos at home and life and tries not to lose himself and fulfill the promise of a given father – live the full life.
The biggest force of “Bridget Jones: Going out behind a guy” is the skillful combination of humorous elements and drama in the film. Although this is by far the saddest part of the series, I do not remember the last time I cried, and I was stewing with laughter at the cinema. At the screening of Michael Morris’s film, that’s what happened to me.
I am also very impressed with the idea of ​​developing the character played by Hugh Grant. For years I was ashamed that I loved Daniel Cleavera. Toxic, treacherous bastard with a deadly smile is the “Bad Boy” figure popular in the cinema, which is designed to captivate viewers in a rather masochistic way. There was a lot of up to the blue eyes of Grant, but today joking with harassment at work and exceeding professional competences would have to end in a moral and not necessarily positive for the form of Grant. The creators, however, were aware that without changing the endearing personality of Cleavera, it would not be possible to call the viewers reluctance to the character he deserved.
So Daniel remained himself. He never settled up, he still chases women who could be his grandchildren today. However, he is also a loyal friend that Bridget can always count on. Although he rarely maintains seriousness, he never remains a reflective asshole. He can admit his mistake and even tries to fix these mistakes. This redemption of Daniel is surprisingly touching. Although it may seem a bit too moralizing, but without this element we could not forgive Daniel today his past.
The grant in the role of an aging bachelor is phenomenal. He steals every stage and you can’t not love it. The film first presents a hero from a very human side, but it will not hang him. We have the impression that the language has sharpened even more. The jokes are still quite indecent, but they are not rubber and do not embarrass. Daniel is a mature man who made several bad decisions in his life. And perhaps he begins to regret some, but he takes complete responsibility for them and does not look for easy excuse for himself.
We are also happy to watch the heroine’s friends return to the roles – Sally Phillips as Shazzer, Shirley Henderson as Jude and James Callis as Tom. Fortunately, the creators have learned from mistakes “in pursuit of reason” and instead of immature, selfish talking heads Jones invaluable support. The crazy group of friends of the heroine effectively shows how important it is in life to cultivate those non -romantic relationships that remained in the background in previous parts of the series.
Surprisingly, romantic threads are much worse. It is true that the Bridget romance with a much younger Roxster is watched much more pleasant than “Babygirl”, the relationship gets too little time to develop, which is reflected in the playwright. It is no different with the second love thread that I will not reveal here.
Bridget Jones did not grow old at all, which is a pity
It is convenient to think that Bridget movies are getting old And they show us how the world has changed over the last 25 years. We want to believe that productions are only proof that we live today in a better place, more friendly for women. Unfortunately The series also painfully reminds how much work there is still to be done in this matter. Because maybe smoking like a dragon is no longer fashionable, we wear ugly Christmas sweaters of our own free will, the movement of the cornice is dynamic, the 30-year-old single shocks less, and molestation at work can be reported to the HR department, We are still often required from women and treated them objectively. Especially outside the borders of large cities.
In 2001, Renee Zellweger Instead of a role model, she gave women, settled by diet culture and a social compulsion to live in relationships, a friend like them. The history of Bridget has taken millions around the world not because the girl tissted further successes, but just because Even when she succeeded, she remained perfectly perfect. Films about Jones for years in a exaggerated way taught us primarily acceptance and the fact that it is a waste of life to meet someone else’s expectations and pursuit of ideals.
Years later, Bridget returns once again to Support a new group under -represented in pop culture. Mature, lonely women who try to reconcile motherhood with passions and desires have received from Jones not only a spark of hope that happiness can be closer than they expect, but also a difficult lesson in reconciliation with a loss. And although Bridget makes bad decisions less often, he still includes slip -up behind the slip -up and makes a lot of mistakes, and I still love her as she is.
