The Descendants was a great film starring George Clooney that had a huge focus on family. The film is about a father who has no control over his kids. His wife has just had a terrible jet skiing accident that puts her in a-coma that will lead to her death. This causes Matt (Clooney) to make a resolution to be a better father. He soon is told by his angry daughter that his wife was in love with another man and had been involved in an affair. This leads to several interesting parts in the plot. The over all theme of the film is not only Matt King working to bring his family together but he has to make a decision that would have consequences no matter which way he went. He was a descendant of the owners of thousands of acres of virgin hawaiian land and it was intrusted to him and his extended family. His family must decide whether to try and keep the rare land or sell it for almost a half million. He has the ultimate decision over all though. I loved the ending to this film. The last 30 minutes were almost perfect. I will not spoil anything but it shows the connection of family and the decision he makes.
