父親節看電影:經典"單親爸爸"回顧
這週日就是一年一度的父親節了，人們在慶祝父親節的時候，常忽略一個特殊的羣體——單親爸爸。父兼母職的他們有着非比尋常的辛勞和付出，實際上第一個父親節就是爲紀念一位單親爸爸而設的。現在我們一起來盤點一下銀幕上的那些經典的的單身爸爸形象吧！
Father's Day is almost here and it's time to celebrate those dedicated dads in our lives. While many devoted fathers love their kids unconditionally—taking them fishing, showing them how to shoot hoops and half-jokingly threatening potential boyfriends—others also fill the tough role of primary caregiver, be it as a single parent, divorced dad or widower. Over the years, a few movies have positively depicted these single parents as devoted dads who change diapers, sing their babies to sleep and even dress-up as 60-year-old women just to spend time with their kids. Check out our favorite single fathers from film who have all gone to great lengths for their little ones。
