A middle-aged man with a successful career escaped from his career due to the death of his wife. Faced with difficulties with his two children. This is the first time he has been so candid about his life. The emotional experiences in the film encounters are somewhat even emotional and put all the outside world aside (although the play's handling of the outside of the story is the absolute highlight of the film) This is a concept about a man who defines his first half of his life and his career The concept of a husband defining his own marriage A synthesis of stories in which a father learns to deal with the tough problems of growing up with two children So what are the characters driving? The drive doesn't degenerate into a pure conceptual character. Why didn't the emotional tie break? That's why Payne did a lot of close-ups of his dead wife. It was so important that at the end Clooney said goodbye to his wife on the sickbed. With a few mundane lines, the audience's emotion was completely put to a tear of Clooney The emotional flow and focus on character relationships presented by "In the Clouds" are actually closer and the internal and external connections in the film seem to capture the audience's life. The setting of "Descendants" actually Having a very well-established set of characters on this topic, relationship development and emotional ties of characters seems to be the right thing to do in his title. If this is perfect then it ties the drifting of the Hawaiian Islands to the whole of modernity. The icing on the cake is the icing on the cake
Why put so many scenes in the ward that is separated from the external main line of the story? You can imagine what would happen if the whole film faced the corpse-like existence on the hospital bed and she never appeared. Several clowns spoke to themselves and the camera in the ward, then the director How selfish and inhuman again, but this seems to express more focus The character sees a portrayal of his own life Now his loved ones are dying or dead The character can do what he wants to do Find the truth of the problem Define yourself but In that case, the characters will be completely subverted and emotionally fractured, and the relationship between the characters will collapse into a metaphysical concept expression. As an external story, it will be meaningless. No doubt this is a very dangerous thing in creation. If the film can make people feel the characters, it is because The character's real emotion is created by the dramatic situation in which the character is located and the character's real emotion is done in defining his wife and saying goodbye to his wife. I always thought that "Descendants" would have to be "The Bicycle Thief" if there was a reference to it. But that's the problem. Desi The non-narrative 'oases' and narrative 'breaths' that stuck in the film allow kids and fathers to enjoy a meal while events hang in the balance, but their true happiness must come from that stolen bike, but they The task of this inner journey has been completed before, including having father and son take shelter from the rain with seminary students to interrupt the story. In a story mode like Descendants, it is easy to provide such an opportunity because it is ultimately about a father The story of wandering the Hawaiian Islands with the kids, if this emotionally pure audiovisual situation existed, was just an epiphany. The brief moment between when they had no clue on the beach and when Clooney ran into the target the next morning. zoom out as classical and quiet as Kubrick did in "Barry Lyndon." He shot a lot of Hawaiian landscapes and elsewhere he did mobile photography like the ones he saw in his car while sightseeing and come back here In the fusion of several perspectives, this beautiful non-narrative "oasis" ended in the fragmented chat between the father and daughter, and then a scene about watching adult videos also began to have a purpose. It's very frustrating to me that it didn't make "Descendants" an emotional journey of character relationships after all.
In this way, "Descendants" presents a problem. The relationship between the father and the child has become an established issue during the construction. The entire development is also the development of the relationship with the child. Even the last scene is even more clear: the father and daughter sit comfortably. Watching TV on the sofa has its own place, but the relationship between the characters in the event seems to be in the opposite direction. In other words, the development and purpose of the event make the relationship out of the audience's field of vision. It cannot be explained for the sake of explanation: the characters have been in the relationship with the children. He has gained something. His current handling of the incident is a reconciliation of the past and his wife, and now he is returning to a normal family life. The outermost event of the field and the sale of land is the same as the external event. The whole film seems to be selling land deeds and it has nothing to do with the film's finding of a wife who cheated on her boyfriend, so the best deal here is how to make the two connect and connect. Influence each other The movie makes the characters somewhat influenced by his personal emotions and his personal feelings. The design sense is actually very strong. The careerist with an American smile has a strong sense of design. Clooney refused to sign the land deed. disappeared along with those of his relatives but the conjugation of these two external events not only made the drift of the Hawaiian Islands and the motif of rooting across the ocean and family ties, the drift of interests of the family group unraveled, but also made the whole search for a wife ex-boyfriend so inadequate. The external events that hang on the teeth are covered with a luxurious and luxurious fur coat. Both these coats give the movie the formal sense of Hollywood movies and the external characteristics of genre movies. AB stories have their own place, but they undoubtedly weaken the core relationship between the characters inside. The father and daughter worked hard for the event for two hours. At the end, sitting together inexplicably seemed to gain something, but it is true that the external narrative of this double jacket is really practical. The emotional flow of the influence of this is actually fruitful
Payne wants the audience to understand the complexity of the character's psychology. He even used a wide-screen lens to shoot a lot of close-ups of the characters. As he wanted, the concept of the wife was imagined and constantly defined, and the audience was in the final character with the character's journey. It's moved when he expresses his heart, there's also a character arc that plays together when he learns the truth from his daughter, a series of comical and incongruous running poses in the panorama of him running out the door, and the shaky middle-aged fat on his face at a friend's house Sweaty and desperate to scold his friends for his tendency to instigate his wife He doubts himself, doubts his marriage, he doesn't want to be the poor man for that purpose, but he seems somewhat selfish when all he cares about is whether his wife loves the man or not Now the movie is about The problem of the characters reappears. How does a person of oneself get along with others, how to accept and tolerate the daughter without the pain of the other half. All the purposive selfishness of the character makes the audience look at the wife from the moral high point. The audience can understand all the characters. What was done simply because the wife was immoral So these issues were resolved in the end when he gave his wife a deep expression of love and the audience would have misunderstood the immediate empathy of the characters The flow of emotion was uninterrupted and reached its climax smoothly
"Descendants" embodies a paradigm and emotional tendency of Hollywood films to deal with internal and external stories. It is a microcosm of the balance between character emotions and grand events in genre films.
