Gru’s new evil plan includes the use of three orphaned girls, with them as spies, Gru plans to infiltrate Vector’s lair when they knock on his door to sell cookies, allowing Gru to steal the d’clock radio.
However, Gru begins to feel affection for the girls he intends to use for his own purposes, and this love impels you to change. At first, Gru is totally inadequate as a father, however, as the film progresses, Gru’s wicked life is altered by the new routine.
Man must adapt his plans to the dynamics of girls: ballet classes, duties, eating habits, so Gru’s evil plans move to the background in the face of the need to care for his daughters.
It’s incredibly rare to see in a children’s movie a single parent portrayed in such a positive way. Although Gru has a vocation that is certainly “evil,” there are incredibly sweet moments between him and the three girls. This feeling increases because the little ones are soft and fragile, while Gru is a big, “bad” man.
Many single parents must associate their duties with the care and care of their children. Like everyone else, Gru manages to do his job, though he’s a villain. Like all single parents, Gru has times when it’s very difficult to take care of girls. without neglecting his work. The day of the big moon flight coincides with the date of the girls’ dance show.
Gru decides to prioritize his work over the series, giving his Nemesis Vector the opportunity to kidnap them. It is Gru’s duty to try to find a balance between work and home, recovering the three children.
At the end of the story, the Moon regains its size and returns to its orbit. Grú, repentant of his past actions, seeks redemption.

Gru’s redemption is to repent, seek, and obtain forgiveness from the girls he has wounded and reward the society to which he has wounded his wicked. Redemption involves the release of guilt and pain.
The need for redemption is real and powerful for victims and aggressors. In the healing process, both sides must know that they are worthy of love, kindness, and compassion. We will not find these things only through redemption, but we can create healing and liberation through forgiveness.
Is the film’s general message that even someone is considerate?Wrong, you may have a change of heart. Despicable Me is a different movie than many other children’s movies. In general, most children’s films portray good and evil as absolute.
For many viewers, a character’s transition between good and evil is very difficult to accept. At the same time, this transition is also one of the most rewarding for those who are dedicated to history.
In children’s and youth cinema, the? Evil must make a heroic sacrifice at the end of the story. The bad guys who make this sacrifice often die in the process. Although it’s an ending that appeals to the audience, it doesn’t give the character a chance to change the way you do.
In Despicable Me, Gru finds the girls’ forgiveness after sincere repentance and a change of attitude. Girls have a positive influence on the bad guy.
Exposed to the risk of losing the love of his daughters, Gru always persists in following his life on the path of evil, the changes he makes obey selfish reasons, curiously, although he returns the stolen items, Gru does not say goodbye to the team. Grú doesn’t fire his bad workers, the Minions.
In this way, Gru’s future profession remains in a situation of ambivalence, the viewer can assume that the new family life will prevent Gru from continuing his life of misdeeds, however, this message is not entirely clear in the film.
An important aspect of this story is that it seems that all characters must forgive Gru’s wickedness. Despite their bad behavior and the use of girls, all the characters forgive Gru.
Adoption is a sensitive subject, and this film does not deepen. Intort, Despicable shows me how orphaned children can be used and then left behind. The old villain Gru’s mistakes and his bad behavior with the girls should have resonance in some The Film might have been more realistic if some characters resisted forgiving Gru.
Assimilating forgiveness for happy purposes can create an unfair burden on real-world victims. This kind of ending gives the public the feeling that the price of mistakes may not be well adjusted. In fact, the worst criticism of Despicable Me was made by families with adopted children.
Despite criticism, the stories of redemption are fun, rewarding and popular with the public, we all want to believe that anyone, no matter how bad, can reorient their life and this is possible, with effort and perseverance.
