"Virtually all memory of the brilliance of the young Tenenbaums had been erased by two decades of betrayal, failure, and disaster."
Betrayal, failure, disaster, tempered life ensued. Parents are getting older, no longer the glamour of the past, the child grows up to become an ordinary or even mediocre person, the hope and longing brought by childhood because of the infinite possibilities of the future disappear step by step with the extension of reality.
The children of the Tenenbaum family are no exception-Chas becomes neurotic because of the accidental death of his wife, Richie and Margot are decadent and melancholy escape for the love of their siblings. The dazzling light of the geniuses faded, and the cruel face of life was revealed.
Of course, in all film and television works, the power of the family will surely win the final victory. The bastard father will definitely change his mind to make up for guilt. The hatred and misunderstanding of the son will also be melted in the warmth of blood relationship, and people who love each other will confide in each other's thoughts. Encouragement, the family will definitely stand together at the end, although it is often at the funeral. In the end, the cynical old Royal did not forget to quiet down on his tombstone.
I am still afraid, afraid of the old age of our parents, afraid of the betrayal, failure and disaster that life prepares for us, afraid of the annihilation of hope, afraid of the change from generation to generation.
But what to do, this is life.
Music at the end of the film:
"We shall walk again
All along the lane
Down the avenue
Just like we used to
With our heads so high
Smile at passersby
And we will softly sigh
Ayayayaya"
