What's left? own what?

This is a slow movie.
Just like I often see comments from fans of American dramas, the pace of the first few seasons of The Poisoner is so slow, and this kind of movie seems to have no meaning in existence, which also makes me realize that dramas and movies are always different, not only in terms of length . Most of the dramas are telling a good story, and a good movie should express something else. It is more like a philosophy book, which leads me to think, so that I can still enjoy the details at such a slow pace.


The film not only describes the inheritance and hardship of future generations, but also slowly finds the reasons for inheritance and hardship in the journey.

MATT on the cover looks back at his two daughters, what can I leave them?
Obviously in the film MATT has communicated his own values ​​about inheritance in terms of money, enough for them to do something, but not enough for them to do nothing. Of course, this is one of the reasons why he left a legacy.

But more than that, as a descendant of himself, he slowly finds what he has always enjoyed, but has never really had. His island is like this, and so is his love.

The film did not find too many testimonials to criticize MATT's wife, nor did they criticize MATT. This is a story that keeps happening to us, love at first sight, acquaintance and love, busy with work, neglect of family, infidelity and divorce.

For MATT, his love for his wife was the last to confess, so hot, although it was too late, he enjoyed the rights of a husband, but he never really fulfilled his obligations, truly owned his love, and faced with This island, he has such a chance again, although he has only 7 years, but for him, these 7 years are enough, because he missed the paradise he enjoyed before.

The younger daughter said that I had never pitched a tent on that beach, so he really sold this place, so his descendants can say that they have never had the beauty of this paradise in the past.

MATT is very busy in business, but he goes with the flow, and for his wife, he gives Dang a lot of freedom, she keeps taking risks, doing what she should do, of course, including finding her emotional partner, and in the end MATT made a firm choice, even a fight, to regain what belonged to him, so he saved his land and the relationship between father and daughter.

Of course I don't think this film is about work-family balance, but about the attitude we should have towards things and people outside of the id.
I never write a circle of friends, but I will take a look at other people's circles. There is a sister who gets into the circle of friends every day, but she explained one later, saying that she just wants to leave traces of youth when she is old.
But seriously, I can't see in this that all of this she's posting is for herself, so, I would say, how do we have those things, people, memories?

In fact, this is a false proposition, none of us can have it, all we can do is live with it and enjoy it is enough

    The plot is not appealing, the actors are mediocre, even crooked (¬‿¬) moved and sad, I don't see it at all, but George Clooney is old-fashioned and the name of The Descendants also makes me head. Fog Shui is too irresponsible (lifts the table...

    "The Descendants" and "The Artist" ("Moneyball" came in third) are the seeds in my heart for Best Actor in the Oscar competition. George Clooney played a failed father and husband in a moving and emotional way It is easy to retract; and director Alexander Payne has always been a favorite director. He likes to shoot small themes but has a taste. He likes "Life with a Glass of Wine" and "About Schmidt". "Descendants" has a more diluted story, but the flavor remains
