Matt King
(George Clooney) is the chairman of the family trust which owns massive piece
of land on Hawaii. After his wife suffers from the boat accident, he tries to overcome
the pain and re-connect with his two daughters.
As somebody
correctly put it, this movie is the living evidence of how flawed the new
concept of the Oscars is. Previously, each category had only 5 nominees,
strictly, whereas now they include “between 5 and 10”. This resulted in movies
being nominated, which are clearly not up to speed with the rest of the
nominees, and that only highlights their mediocrity. And yes, the Descendants is
one of those movies.
