The story is actually straightforward.
A middle-aged man who is busy with work for a long time,
a wife who is unfaithful to her husband because she is dissatisfied with her married life, but has a rich and colorful life and pursues herself the most. According to her father's words: she has a big life, but she is
out now. Accidents, lying in bed may never wake up.
A 7-year-old daughter who swears, bullies her classmates, and is bullied by her classmates.
A stubborn, hot-tempered, 17-year-old daughter with bad habits.

The middle-aged man's life has turned into a mess due to his wife's accident.
Yes, a mess.
His career is waiting for him to make a decision, whether to buy the island to others according to the wishes of his family (the family members here are cousins ​​and distant relatives who are not close or far away), and whether everyone earns a lot of gold
or considers the local residents The idea is to protect the island and not let it turn into another resort.
In life, he has to face his wife who is unfaithful to him but is now lying on the deathbed in the hospital bed.
There are also two daughters who give a lot of headaches and the eldest daughter's stupid and ridiculous friend.

So in Hawaii, the imagined paradise on earth, the embarrassed middle-aged uncle played by George Clooney has a lot of troubles.
After watching "In the Clouds", Uncle Qiao played a successful white-collar worker with extraordinary taste and charm.
In addition, Uncle Qiao often appears on the front and back covers of various market magazines, wearing a watch that symbolizes wealth and taste, staring at you with deep eyes,
this is a successful man, this is the taste of maturity.
However, in "Descendants", he has faded all of this, and what appears on his handsome face is not confidence and dashing control over everything, but more helplessness and confusion.

The most impressive set of shots. After the eldest daughter told him that he was being cuckolded, he put on sandals and ran all the way. On the crooked trail, he ran out of breath in his undershirt and sandals, and finally confirmed from his friends. Later, a man stood on the side of the road and wiped a handful of tears.

At that time, I prayed silently in my heart, never photographing the front, never photographing the front.
Fortunately, the director just patted Uncle Qiao's shaking shoulders and sobbing.
call! fine. Uncle Joe's image was not ruined.

Everything is light, and the ending of the final story is not the light after the climax, that is, the death of the wife, Kojima does not buy it, the knot is untied, and the daughter and father reconcile. Everyone sat together to eat ice cream and watch TV series.

that is it.

I like what Xiaoyuan said about this movie: "Life is sometimes hard to swallow, so be gentle."
