The family of life that comes back

George Clooney's masterpiece on family and love, this film is still calm and soothing, beautiful Hawaii, sunshine, clear water, like a fairyland on earth, interspersed with beautiful country music or Hawaiian-style music, making you feel more beautiful . You can go and see the movie "In the Clouds" starring George Clooney in 2009. It is an attitude towards family and marriage. The two can form a love concerto.


Native Hawaiian Matt (played by George Clooney), with his ancestral wealth: the beautiful sandy beaches of Hawaii (which are huge in short), he is ready to sell a piece of land, and he is the heir to the life of the land. Kill the power. The accumulated wealth has never made him worry about his livelihood. The principle he believes in about money is not to give his children a poor amount of money that is difficult to keep enough food and clothing, nor to give them excessively squandered money. The purpose is to let the children know where the money comes from. It's not easy, but you can't waste your family at will. So Matt is also a lawyer and doesn't sit still. At this time, his wife had an accident while playing the motorboat. She was in a coma and her condition worsened day by day. The doctor also said that it was impossible to save. After a while, all medical equipment would be unplugged, slowly. . . When an accident happened to his wife, Matt realized how little he had paid attention to his family, lacked communication with his relatives, and lacked care for his two women and his wife. Human beings only know things later, and only know how to cherish them after certain things happen. Matt is like this, for his family, his family, his wife and women. When his wife wakes up, he will make a change again and live a good life to make up for his past mistakes, but if he misses it, he misses it. God will not give you a chance to make up for it. It is a matter of time before his wife will die, but all the while, Matt's inner pain has been suppressed. Knowing that his wife was cheating from the mouth of his eldest daughter, his heart was even more painful and he was struggling. He was struggling to tell the man about his wife's current situation. Although his wife's cheating was painful for him, it was not until his wife left. , he still adheres to his love for his family, his wife and them, and respects his wife's choice. I have to say that Matt's role is forbearing and tolerant.

The theme of the film is black. But it's not depressing, because there are elements of Hawaii's briskness, minor music, sea breeze, clear sky, and of course, micro-comedy elements, his two daughters and Theon (the stunned upright boy), looking for a wife When he cheated on the object, Matt's timid and steady approach (and even some playfulness) collided with the approach that the eldest daughter wanted to explain directly. The rhythm of the entire team was also slightly brisk and not heavy. This is the most painful experience in Matt's life, but he also realized from the pain that only by maintaining and maintaining the relationship with his family and children can he be qualified to be a descendant of this big family, a qualified heir. Looking back and taking a closer look, Matt is on the right track, being a good person and having a harmonious family is the best thing.

    Very bland plot, but will not make people feel boring, the director is very good. Not so emotional, I can't understand the theme of the film, but I think many humorous small details are very bright.

    The director is really good. Such a stereotypical mid-life crisis mixes life and death, and it can also capture sincere feelings and the poetic life of Hawaii's light sea breeze. But apart from the emotional part, which is worthy of praise, the others are thin, and the character of Clooney is not full enough.

The Descendants quotes

  • Scottie King: Shut up, you motherless whore.

    Sid: Whoa! Whoa! Easy there, half pipe.

    Matt King: Where'd you learn to talk like that?

    [Scottie points to Alex. Matt and Sid give Alex a look]

  • 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.
