Directed by Chris Columbus and starring Robin Williams, the 1993 film Mrs. Doubtfire is the comically touching story of an out-of-work actor named Daniel Hillard who gets caught in the vortex of a bad divorce. His wife, workaholic decorator Miranda Hillard, is fed up with their frequent and constant disagreements; he sees their marriage as a hopeless cause and wants to end it. In the divorce proceedings that follow, Miranda receives full custody of their three children until Daniel is able to obtain a suitable job and housing of his own. Daniel loves his children deeply and can't bear the thought of not being able to see them every day of the week. In desperation, he disguises himself as an old English nanny, hoping to be hired by Mrs. Hillard so he can spend more time with his children. During his stay at the Hillard house over the next few months, Daniel, aka "Euphegenia Doubtfire", learns many valuable lessons about parenting, love, understanding, and the meaning of divorce. Despite the PG-13 rating, the family-friendly film Mrs. Doubtfire contains content that may not be entirely appropriate for younger audiences. Aside from the obvious issue of cross-dressing, the portrayal of Daniel's older brother, a homosexual beautician, would be an example of such "useless inadequacy." In the film, brother Frank, together with his partner Jack, runs a small hair and cosmetics business in the apartment above their apartment. Even in the 1990s, when the film was produced, the idea of ​​alternative sexuality still had a somewhat negative connotation in society, especially within many conservative “family” circles. However, the film is virtuous, as it uses these topics to address current and common issues such as divorce and resentment, as well as teaching children the importance of understanding and regrowth after divorce.
