Modern Family season 1 episode 23–Hawaii

http://imgur.com/FU7bJQI

這集劇情延續上一集在機場的場景，全家人都來到夏威夷，雖然這集四季飯店有置入行銷
，但覺得置入程度尚可接受。Jay 在生日當天接到他弟弟的電話，提醒他他們的父親就是
在 63 歲這年過世的，導致 Jay 不敢在假期中放縱的吃喝，反而還一直做各種戶外活動
和健身；Phil 想要彌補 Claire 當初沒有舉辦婚禮和蜜月旅行的遺憾，所以一直叫
Claire 好好享受假期，但 Claire 卻時時需要擔心孩子們的一舉一動；Mitch 在旅行的
時候喜歡到處參觀當地景點，但 Cam 卻只想好好的待在飯店裡休息，最後 Mitch 也發現
其實旅行也可以很放鬆。這是摩登家庭第一次出國拍攝，我個人其實蠻喜歡他們出外景拍
攝的故事，因為故事的內容發展往往都會相當有趣，還沒看過後幾季的朋友可以期待！書
蟲女孩很喜歡這一集，充分的演繹出一家人出遊時會發生的各種情況，最後 Phil 和
Claire 遲來的婚禮溫馨感人，更喜歡畫面視角偶爾穿插 Cam 攝影機畫面的呈現手法，覺
得就算這一集作為第一季的完結似乎也蠻適合的。

§摩登家庭小趣聞
大家會不會好奇這些小童星平常是要怎麼跟上學校的上課進度呢？我也是透過這個影片才
知道原來劇組還有為這些童星們特別聘請老師（據說是因為加州法律規定），讓這些童星
們可以邊拍攝邊上課，不會荒廢課業喔！
