The Descendants
#1
I dislike Clooney but I must say this was a very enjoyable film. A love letter, albeit a horribly depressing one, to Hawaii. Everyone must have auditioned by showing off their crying skills. The filmmakers have a great eye for Hawaiian culture, not just the slack key music (which I also dislike) but the details - koa bowls, stichwork quilts, even the posture of people as they walked about in flip flops, all so traditional. And even though my family is all from Hawaii, I'm not that into it's culture. So, no sword fight, an actor who I don't like and a soundtrack that I don't like, set in a location that I confess is absolutely gorgeous (but I don't like that either really), and a real downer of a topic from ecery angle... and I still enjoyed it.
