Confusion of the Genius

Royal betrayed his family, and when he was old and bankrupt, he knew that his family was the most precious wealth. He tried to pretend to be dead to win back some of his family's attention, but it was still exposed, and Chas and his wife didn't care much about him. Only in the end he saved Chas's child's life many times with sincerity and action, and divorced calmly, and was respected by his family. Chas is overly sensitive to security, and is extremely repulsive to his father, also because of the blow of his wife's death. That's why it was so important to him to accept his repentant father. Margot is an adopted daughter, so she was neglected by her father since she was a child, and she felt obviously not caring about her that much. This was her father's fault and made her a bad girl. She couldn't figure out love, so she could only lock herself up, but it didn't help. Finally, she came out and being with Riche was the only relief. She also explained to her husband who was concentrating on research, and each had a better life. Riche was alone at sea after his tennis fiasco, only to finally learn that he was in love with Margot and that he was able to start his life again after struggling. Ethel also just needs a husband who really cares about her. In contrast, Eli was addicted to drug-addicting fantasies and couldn't face what he wanted and some small failures calmly. He humbled himself to become a member of the geniuses. In the end, he drove into the house and was very embarrassed. Fortunately, he gradually recovered and started again. On track. At the moment when the bird flew back many years later, they seemed to understand what was more important and were filled with emotion. I don't know why this little plot touched me so much. Tenenbaums are a family of geniuses. They used to be all brilliant, but they will be like this after many years, just because they can't handle the relationship of family, friendship, and love, and they can't face themselves and others. These are more valuable than having genius wisdom. Wes Anderson's chapter structure and narration are very interesting, the composition and setting are still exquisite, and several scenes of conflict (wrist cutting, wedding chase) also show a different style.

    Weiss Universe Earth-199999, the relationship between parents before the separation became "Darjeeling", the elopement of the two daughters and three sons became "The Kingdom of Moonrise", and the adult love history of the two daughters became "It's all the fault of love", The reunion of the two female neighbors became the "Knight Hotel". The second daughter is Tony from Weiss...

    The old scumbag used his old age to revitalize the disintegrated genius family. Weiss's personal directing style is still strong, mirroring, editing, lighting, and composition make people walk into a dreamlike world like "Budapest" in minutes. I like this kind of movies about family relations so much, all sufferings and pains can be easily resolved by love. Death brings children to think and grow, and also teaches an old man how to win the respect and respect of others by his own efforts.

The Royal Tenenbaums quotes

  • Royal: [laying some flowers on the grave of his mother - Helen O'Reilly Tenenbaum, 1899-1954] She was a tough old broad, wasn't she?

    Chas: I wouldn't know. Excuse me.

    [he starts to head off with his sons Ari and Uzi to visit their mother's grave]

    Royal: Oh, that's right, we've got another body buried here, haven't we?

  • Royal: Anybody interested in grabbing a couple of burgers and hittin' the cemetery?
