'The Descendants' have trouble in paradise
'The Descendants" opens with a shot of the speedboating blonde smiling as turquoise Hawaiian waves break behind her. Next time we have seen her,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], she's hospitalized after any sort of accident, encircled by life-support gear and sorrowful family members wearing brash floral prints. It's more than a cheap visual joke. That awkward hybrid of anguish,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], bucolic scenery and luau cheer gives director Alexander Payne's dramedy an aura of befuddling,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], lifelike instability. Every twist in this sensitive, emotionally satisfying movie is as slippery and urgent as a goldfish tipped from its tank. It's life being sad,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], beautiful and dumb all within the same breath.
The coma victim is Elizabeth, the wife of Matt King (George Clooney),[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], a diligent Honolulu lawyer who chooses to eat lunch at his office desk rather than stroll underneath the palms. He's rocked by Elizabeth's impending death. Not just is he losing his passion, now he must step up towards the duties he delegated for a long time as "backup parent" to grade-schooler Scottie (Amara Miller) and high-school hellion Alexandra (Shailene Woodley).
Matt's predicament doesn't end there. The revelation that Elizabeth was having an affair and wanted a divorce complicates his grieving process. He wants revenge. No,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], he wants reconciliation. Wait,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], he would like . well,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], he's confused himself. With Alexandra egging him on,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], he sets out to find his wife's lover. It is a dumb, adolescent plan. Ironically,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], it bonds the family.
Clooney is appealingly cast against type here. Matt doesn't have Clooney's effortless charm,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], losing every test of wills with a female throughout the movie. As Matt digs into Elizabeth's tangled secret life, Clooney provides an assured, multidimensional performance, nailing both deathbed remorse and the physical comedy. His clumsy trot as he races to a neighbor's house with boat shoes is pure loose-limbed hilarity. Later he condenses many years of a relationship into a single,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], sudden tear. His softspoken confrontation with his wife's lover is a sonata of vocal modulation.
There's an overload of story within the agreeably ramshackle script. A subplot about property that may make King and his relatives filthy rich fantails into the adultery storyline. Matthew Lillard and Judy Greer play a husband and wife entangled in Elizabeth's infidelity. The way in which it slowly dawns on all of them why Matt drops by to visit them is a master class in just how much actors can convey without dialogue. They're fully,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], breathtakingly alive at every instant. As Elizabeth's doting,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], embittered father, Robert Forster has two monologues which are quietly electrifying,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], deeply insightful of how parents put their children on a pedestal with the best of intentions, and no recognition of the possible consequences.
There is nothing as sour as unearned sweetness, and Payne avoids the mawkish moments you expect. The tentative happy ending has Matt and also the kids at home about the sofa watching "March from the Penguins." But pay attention to the scenario honey-voiced Morgan Freeman describes, an ever-changing world where over time tropical isles turn frigid.相关的主题文章:
