Genius

When Royal Tenenbaum (Gene Hackman) separated at the age of 45, he went to a hotel alone, and his wife Etheline (Anjelica Huston), who was raising children alone, put all her focus on the development of children's talents. Living up to expectations, all three of their children are geniuses, and she wrote a book based on it - "Genius Family".
The eldest son, Chas (Ben Stiller), has been strategizing business strategies at the age of 12. He has purchased real estate in junior high school and has an extraordinary understanding of finance. The second daughter, Margot (Gwyneth Paltrow), was adopted when she was two years old. This topic was talked about by her father for life, which made Matgot a little nervous. The talented playwright won the Warrior Award at the age of 9. Richie (Luke Wilson) has been a champion tennis player since the third grade. He loves to form bands and collect car models and paintings. At the age of 17, he turned professional player and won the U.S. Open for three consecutive years.
Time flies, parents have been separated for the past 20 years, three gifted children have grown up, Chas has been living with two children in a panic after losing his wife in a plane crash, and Matgot has been locked in the bathroom all day without talking to her husband for 9 years. With no new script coming out, Richie prepares for a year-long voyage at sea. It was all interrupted by a sudden announcement from Royal: He had cancer with only six weeks to live, and he wanted to spend the last time with his family. This day, the genius family reunited again, and interesting things happened one after another.

    86/100, completely reduced to a fan of Wes, the picture photography is really good, the music is also quite tasteful, the story is a bit lengthy, but it is very interesting. The role really floats on the surface. But just relying on this strong stylization, combined with the usual faint sadness of the pink coat, how can I not like it.

    Full of stubbornness, the director's self-satisfied, extremely exclusive taste, exaggerated photography, like a story of chewing wax, the character description is as thin as 0.00000001 mm, there is no emotional resonance at all, the 110-minute commercial is gorgeous as a movie. Trash, two stars for Gene's performance

The Royal Tenenbaums quotes

  • Eli: [reading part of his newest novel at a press conference] The crickets and the rust-beetles scuttled among the nettles of the sage thicket. "Vámonos, amigos," he whispered, and threw the busted leather flintcraw over the loose weave of the saddlecock. And they rode on in the friscalating dusklight.

  • Eli: I'm not in love with you any more.

    Margot: I didn't know you ever were.

    Eli: Let's not make this any more difficult than it already is.

    Margot: OK.

    Eli: OK, what?

    Margot: OK, I'm not in love with you either.

    Eli: Yes, I know, you're in love with Richie. Which is sick and gross.
