In the movie "The Royal Tenenbaums" it describes family relationships and how certain people work out their problems. In this movie there are many examples of how the director shows the meaning behind the scene that the actors are doing. For example when Chaz and Royal are fighting the closet, they are fighting in the dark until Royal turns on the light, piratically exposing all the feelings both of them have felt over the years. After Chaz storms off, Royal finds all the games that the kids used to play. In the back round while the camera is on Royal you can see the game risk, which in case means that he is risking everything to visit his family, even if it means lying to his family. It is very powerful how all the characters act against each other sometimes. In the scene where they are all at the dinner table and the kids and talking it over about if Royal should stay with them and Richie tells them that he is already staying there and Chaz freaks out. In the end of the movie though Chaz is the one that was with his father as he died. Which is interesting since Chaz is the one that pushed him away the most.
For some reason in this movie, it appeared that every scene in the movie was filled with problems more than comedy. In all truth it was refreshing to see a dark film with just the right amount of comedy that doesn't make you think that this film is a joke or this film is too dark. During the film when all the secrets were being released from all the kids and the family, each character had a back round story that came to light. At the end of the movie when everyone was gathered around Royals grave, it read on the gravestone that he saved his family from a sinking battle ship. In truth he did. If he hadn't made up the lie that he had cancer none of them would have gotten together and expressed how they truly felt about each other. The funeral scene was magical and sad at the same time which is hard to achieve if you don't have the set of mind of the character.
