Relationships are connections between friends, family members, and partners that are built of love, whether it be platonic, romantic, or a family love. The movie, The Parent Trap, expresses how relationships bond whether it be between two twins who are reunited, a mother and father who are being reunited by their daughters, and the parents’ friends uniting at the end. In the movie there are many scenes that show how the reforming can affect the people involved and even the people who aren’t involved. The one scene that sticks out most is the reuniting of the twins, Annie and Hallie, while at summer camp. These twin girls were separated at birth and never knew they had a sister, but it all changes when they start realizing how they look alike, how each of them only has one parent, and the most importance piece, a picture of their mother and father on a boat that was torn apart. These girls put all the clues together and while doing so, started forming a sisterly bond. When they finally figured out the truth, many emotions were displayed. There was happiness in the fact that they now know they have a sister, there was excitement in how they were able to figure it out, and there was determination to reunite their parents and become a whole. These twins used their intelligence in how they planned everything out and their alikeness in how they looked to become one another to see the opposite parent. This scene points out the fact that these twins knew how to change their identity, in the way that they changed their physical appearance and their mentality in who they were. It foreshadows how the plan to reunite their parents will affect the mother and father all throughout the movie. This text does its purpose in expressing how relationships can change how a person behaves, thinks, and feels when going through an experience just like the experience Hallie and Annie went through.
