Sunday morning and The Mitchells vs. the Machines review

This morning after a walk to Bread and hearth, and the Keong Saik Bakery, I watched the Mitchells vs the Machines, that was released in Netflix instead of theatre release due to Covid situation. I like its originality and spirit. The Mitchells is a "weird" family who struggles with father-daughter relationship, with personality that sticks to their originality rather than trying to fit-it. Although it is not trying too hard to depicts the strangeness of the family, the sense I got is that each person in the family was just free to explore their individual passion, and try hard to live life. It also tries to depicts the machine with AI trying to take over the world, although I felt that was just the plot to provide the unifying purpose for the journey the family has undertaken to fix its broken relationships.

It's very therapeutic to do morning walk, and lately the summer wind in Singapore has made the early morning bearable. Perhaps the air is also fresher and clearer without the usual traffic.
