Rating: ★★★★★★★★★ 9/10
Etheline Tenenbaum (Angelica Huston) was the typical career mother. She made sure that she's nurtured her three children - physically and morally - without Royal's presence after they separated. She is emotionally connected to Henry Sherman (Danny Glover) as they became lovers. She's also an archaeologist. Wes Anderson loosely based Etheline on his mother, Ann Buroughs who was divorced to his father and became an archaelogist. Plus, Etheline's glasses were the real glass of Wes' mother.
Royal Tenenbaum (Gene Hackman) was an epitome of "insensitive" and "terrible." At the start of the story, he was a caring father who gave love to his children. Yet except for Margot who despises her as his adopted daughter. He even stole money from Chas - his genius son. Anderson wrote the Royal's persona with Gene Hackman in mind.
Margot Tenenbaum (Gwyneth Paltrow) is the adopted daughter of Etheline and Royal. She was when she was 2 years old from a farming family in Indiana. She is a playwright and produced a successful play when she was in ninth grade. Margot is seen as dull and emotionless; she's the "manhid" lady who's always being left out by Royal during gatherings as he introduces her (emphasized) as her "adopted daughter."
Chas Tenenbaum (Ben Stiller) is the finance genius in the Tenenbaums. He started working when he was an early teen. He had this grudge on his father, Royal. Then, he sued his father for stealing money in his safe. He's a widower who lost her wife on a plane crush. That's why he's obsessed with his sons' safety. He and his son wears their signature attire: sweaters and jogging pants in red.
Richie Tenenbaum (Luke Wilson) is the once-tennis prodigy who ended his career with an emotional breakdown in front of national television.The character is loosely based on former champion Bjorn Borg, who shocked the people after retiring at age 26. He's the kind-hearted person who always show his love for his adopted sister, Margot through his paintings. Their love has been kept a secret.
To sum up, The Royal Tenenbaums is another masterpiece that clearly defies mainstream movie plots in exchange of dark humor and realistic experiences of every individual.
