It's not a particularly complicated story. Matt has been busy working as a lawyer, neglecting his wife, and he is most proud of not resting on his ancestral heritage. His wife, Elisabeth, was on the verge of death due to a water-skiing accident. While he was forced to spare time to take care of his two daughters, he also had to find relatives and friends to say goodbye to his wife. This is the main line of the film; So relatives, selling their trust property, he likes local buyers, even if their bids are not the highest. The one who intertwined the two lines was the wife's lover, and the existence of this person was told to him by the rebellious eldest daughter. He wanted to understand the whole story, and rationally understood that it was his responsibility to let the person whom his wife finally loved during her lifetime see his wife. Last side. But when he found this man named Speer, he found that he had a harmonious family, and he had no intention of abandoning the family to be with Elizabeth; more importantly, this man was also an important beneficiary of his real estate transaction. In the end, Matt did not sell his ancestral property, and he was determined to use the next seven years to find a way to keep his ancestral property. For me, even though Matt finally explained to his cousin righteously, there is no doubt that there is also a little bit of narrow-mindedness about his wife.
Payne's stories are never complicated, and he's good at metaphors beneath the surface. What exactly is the descendant? What are we left with?

The eldest daughter is beautiful and rebellious, the younger daughter has a very cute aunty air, and the middle-aged Matt is unusually uncle. This is Clooney's cuteness and charm. The way he runs in slippers is really not in line with his reputation as a playboy, but it is precisely this The actor's dedication and free and easy to play this character, compared to the end of his wife's ears, My Pain, My Joy, full of affection, it is particularly moving.
Payne's humor is cold, like a little girl on the beach getting a breast augmentation with sand. When Matt asks if Speer has done it with Elizabeth in his bed, Speer replies, once; Matt says you should lie out of courtesy; Speer says, twice.
The fixed long shot at the end is very charming, the youngest daughter is lying on the sofa watching TV, the father and the eldest daughter come from the depth of field kitchen in turn, and finally they snuggle up on the sofa, covered with a blanket, and share two bowls of different flavors. ice cream.
