A movie about the moral salvation of one single family, this is how I would characterize the film "The Beaver". Where papa, being the president of a toy company, fell into depression, left home, got drunk, decided to hang himself on a tie - he failed, found a beaver in the garbage bin and returned with him to his wife and children, asking from now on to apply supposedly helps him to distance himself from negative qualities.
With this beaver on his hand, the hero Mel Gibson did everything - he talked with his wife, slept, ate, washed, led the company, took him with him on a television show. Naturally, the surrounding looked at a couple of "man-beaver" with doubt and surprise, but in general accepted the rules of the game. But in the end, a beaver in a man seemed to have mastered a man in a beaver, finally became the main one in a pair, while the man finally matured before returning to independence. Such is the plush version of Jekyll and Hyde.
Following Eastwood, Hanks was directed by the wonderful actress Jodie Foster, who called her friend Mel Gibson for the lead role in "The Beaver". He, as we know, too, in recent years, prefers to shoot more than take pictures. But if I consider him a brilliant director, then Miss Foster while I like the actress more. Her directorial work is a peculiar, even rather weird film with its unconditional charm, but in some places it is boring. But this is - in general - not a contraindication to view.
