It was common for girls indulged in beautiful fairy tales about sleep beauty,
princess pea and mermaid when they were young, of course I was one of them.
But in my memory, the most stories of the mermaid hadsad endings. So, I was
interested in the poster of the movie"Aquamarine" at the first sight because
the leads on the poster all showing us a sweet smile. Firstly, I thought the mermaid
may have a happy ending. And I have watched the movie with this idea, and most of
what I expected to happen in "Aquamarine", happened.
Aquamarine takes place in a Florida Beach resort during the last week of summer. This is a
frustrating time for all schoolage children, but more so for best friends Claire and Hailey,
who are about to be separated. Hailey's mother has received a plum job offer in Australia,
and she's packing up and taking her daughter with her. Claire and Hailey, are desperate for
being together, pray for a miracle. That's when Aquamarine , a mermaid, arrives. During a
violent storm, she is swept in from the sea to end up in Claire's pool. After getting over
the initial shock of finding a girl with a fishtail in Claire's backyard, the two girls bond
with the newcomer. In daytime, Aquamarine is like other teenage girls except she is very beautiful.
However, mermaids can grow legs only when the sun is out and provided they stay away from water.
As it turns out, Aquamarine is in trouble with her dad. She has refused an arranged marriage and
is determined to prove to her father that the mythical emotion of "love" exists. She chooses local
lifeguard Raymond who adored by girls in town as her target. If she manages to find the true love,
she will grant a wish to the two girls.
As most romantic movies, there should be exist an prideful annoying girl who also pursues Raymond Cecilia, the resort's richest girl, and she doesn't believe in playing fair. She has made every
effort to find out Aquamarine is a mermaid. Nevertheless Aquamarine finally finds the true love-the love between friends and lovers. And thanks to Cecilia' s tricks, Claire overcomes her fear of
swimming which due to her parents' death by drowning. For each girl, this should be an unforgettable
summer time.
From the three teenage girls, we can see the power of friendship and the magic of love. Actually,
they differ from each other. Claire is shy and kind of dissociable, Hailey is brave and easygoing,
and Aquamarine is very innocent. Obviously, they are all lovely. But if you ask me who I really
want to be, I would tell you Claire. Why? Because I think she is the most mature girl of three.
I was impressed by the quarrel between she and Claire. She doesn't want to waste the wish to be
together with her best friend not because she longs for meeting new people and starting new life.
She chooses it for her mother. "My mom has worked all her life for this. Maybe it's not fair."
The simple words show me her beautiful inner world. She has grown into a thoughtful girl. And she
has known the true love between she and her mother.
Compared with Hailey, Claire seems to be more selfish and persnickety. She not only doesn't show
her support for best friend, but also sneers at her. In fact she just worries Hailey would adapt
herself to the new climate. Thus, they would never as close as they were. Hailey has taught me that
sometimes we should learn to stand on our own for a change. What's more, she is not cynical about
her life anymore . Though, Claire loses her temper, she isn't narrow
minded to Claire. And when they are in trouble, she is always the optimistic one, she tries her
best to persuade Claire to conquer her fear. She convinces her best friend that every thing would
be all right. Kindness, thoughtfulness,generosity, bravery, in my opinion, she posseses all the
good characters to be a best friend.
There are three factors constitute the memorable summer time at the seaside for each girl--the growth of spirit, the power of the friendship and the magic of love.
