We often hear people saying motherhood ain’t easy, but little do we realize, so is fatherhood – it takes every bit of strength, patience, and a lot of sacrifices to make someone a good father his children loves. So what does it takes for a man to become a super daddy in the eyes of his children, especially if mommy is not there too? Remember the angsty teenage days when we thought our parents didn’t understand us, and home was where all the yelling and frustration was? We hope it’s not a routine for you Churpers out there; it’s about time we look back and appreciate the effort our parents put into raising us the best they could.
No idea where to start? Well, we don’t know the exact answer for sure; but the next movie screening we’re bringing to you tells the story of putting back the broken pieces in a family for a heart-warming ending – The Descendants!
Synopsis: From Alexander Payne, the creator of the Oscar®-winning SIDEWAYS, THE DESCENDANTS is set in Hawaii and follows the unpredictable journey of an American family at a crossroads. Matt King (George Clooney), a husband and father of two girls, must re-examine his past and navigate his future when his wife is in a boating accident off Waikiki.
He awkwardly attempts to repair his relationship with his daughters – 10 year-old precocious Scottie (Amara Miller) and rebellious 17 year-old Alexandra (Shailene Woodley) – while wrestling with a decision to sell his family’s land. Handed down from Hawaiian royalty and missionaries, the Kings own some of the last priceless virgin parcels of tropical beach in the islands.
When Alexandra drops the bombshell that her mother was in the midst of a romantic fling at the time of the accident, Matt has to take a whole new look at his life, not to mention his legacy, during a week of momentous decisions. With his girls in tow, he embarks on a haphazard search for his wife’s lover. Along the way, in encounters alternately funny, troublesome and transcendent, he realizes he’s finally on course toward rebuilding his life and family.
