It's not a particularly complicated story. Matt has been busy working as a lawyer, neglecting his wife, and he is most proud of not resting on his ancestral heritage. His wife, Elisabeth, was on the verge of death due to a water-skiing accident. While he was forced to spare time to take care of his two daughters, he also had to find relatives and friends to say goodbye to his wife. This is the main line of the film; the sub-line of the film is that Matt is contacting So relatives, selling their trust property, he likes local buyers, even if their bids are not the highest. The one who intertwined the two lines was the wife's lover, and the existence of this person was told to him by the rebellious eldest daughter. He wanted to understand the whole story, and rationally understood that it was his responsibility to let the person whom the wife finally loved before her death see his wife. Last side. But when he found this man named Speer, he found that he had a harmonious family, and he had no intention of abandoning the family to be with Elizabeth; more importantly, this man was also an important beneficiary of his real estate transaction. In the end, Matt didn't sell his ancestral property, and he was determined to find a way to keep it for the next seven years. For me, even though Matt finally explained to his cousin righteously, there is no doubt that there is also a narrow-mindedness about his wife. Payne's stories are never complicated, and he's good at metaphors beneath the surface. What exactly is the descendant? What are we left with? Payne also belongs to the kind of director who understands characterization and the control of actors' performances. The collocation of the group of four who are constantly on the road is very interesting, especially the eldest daughter's little boyfriend, who not only looks aggrieved, but also speaks and acts really 2B, but in the late night conversation Matt found that he had just lost his father not long ago, that seemingly chaotic In fact, there is also pain and strength in my heart; and at the end, when Elizabeth's father scolded Matt in front of his vegetative daughter again, it was this guy who spoke out a few words for Matt. The eldest daughter is beautiful and rebellious, the younger daughter has a pretty cute aunty air, and the middle-aged Matt is an unusual uncle. This is Clooney's cuteness and charm. The way he runs in slippers is really not in line with his reputation as a playboy, but it is precisely this The actor's dedication and free and easy to play this character, compared to the end of his wife's ears, My Pain, My Joy, full of affection, it is particularly moving.

    1. The wife fell in love with him, and the family land is also sold to him, so a good enemy has a narrow road. When the favorite wife is about to die, she finds out her cheating behavior, so a life and death parting. 2. It is definitely the best performance of George Clooney , but is there any good enough to win an Oscar? 3. Does anyone also think that the eldest daughter is very similar to Guo Meimei?

    2012-03-08 A story with a special entry point. The emotions of the characters are reflected through the well-designed time and scenes. The sad light comedy setting balances various dramatic conflicts, giving the film a strength in the dullness. Hawaiian music and scenery add entertainment without compromising what the film is meant to convey.

The Descendants quotes

  • Alexandra King: When I was over at Christmas, I caught her with the guy. It made me sick to see her near you. I went back to school thinking that that was it... that I was just done with her. I was gonna call and tell you everything, and... and then the accident happened, and... I was waiting until she woke up, I guess. You didn't even suspect. Right? Right? You disgusted me too. You're always so busy.

  • Scottie King: I don't like eggs.

    Scottie King: I thought they were for you.

    Matt King: Good morning. Does Mom let you have Coke for breakfast?

    Matt King: I thought you were supposed to be getting your act together.

    Alexandra King: I have gotten my act together. I was just drinking. I've been doing really well, but nobody ever seems to notice my grades are better, and how I was in that stupid play you guys didn't bother to see. Do you even remember the name of it? That's what I thought. So what if I got drunk on the ONE night you happened to drop in? So the fuck what?
