Seen on 26-2-2013 on HBO
A land baron, a scion of an old Hawaiin royalty, has to deal with a dying wife who, he discovers, has been having an affair a little before being hospitalized after a fatal boat accident. And he has to cope with two daughters. He loves his wife, but is pained by his discovery of her adultery. The movie intricately weaves the web of strong mixed emotions of the man caught in these conflicting emotions and show us the most graceful thing to do under the circumstances. THE DETAILS OF THIS COMPLICATED MIXED BAG OF FEELINGS ARE BEAUTIFULLY DRAMATIZED. Basically, the protagonist here ends up displaying what Hemingway called "grace under pressure" in all the decisions he makes in his crisis in spite of his conflicting emotions, and this is admirable.
This movie won one 2011 Oscar for Best adapted screenplay and 4 Oscar Nominations for Best film, actor, direction, editing. GEORGE Clooney's action stands out.
