The above is the question Royal Tenenbaum poses to his "adopted daughter" Margo. Royal is a self-centered, shameless SOB. His whole life has been devoted to his own personal desire for comfort. However, as Royal grows older, he realizes that he has missed out on the most important thing in life, family. In his case, his family is a creative assortment of professional tennis players, aspiring playwrights and genius entrepreneurs. Wes Anderson has made what I think is the finest film of the last decade. His imaginative script elicits incredible performances from Hackman, Stillar, the Wilson brothers, etc. The wonderful music enhances unforgettable scenes that stay with you forever. Who would have thought that someone could make me become a fan of the music of Nico and Elliot Smith. I don't know of another director that involves so much detail into a story. There is so much thought and imagination behind everything. This is not so much a movie, but rather a work of art. I laughed during this film and I cried. The one thing that I wished was that it could continue for hours more. I really think in Wes Anderson, America has found its next Orson Welles and with the Tenenbaums, the Citizen Kane of our time. Perfect film.
