Alex Hayley, a prominent writer, once said: "In every way imaginable, family is a link to our past, a bridge to our future" . Wes Anderson's masterpiece, The Royal Tennenbaums, is a contemporary film that reveals the immense impact family members have on each other's lives. Margot, the eldest of the children, is the adopted member of the Tennenbaum family. Regardless, Margot is denied the opportunity to feel like a member of the family, as she lacks the affection she deserves from her distracted father, Royal. Tragically, she longs to be part of a family that may never truly accept her. Furthermore, to cope with her unsatisfactory life, Margot takes refuge in theater and writing, continually creating fictional characters whose lives are not linked to loveless relatives. Likewise, feeling emotionally isolated from her family (her father, in particular), Margot begins to lower her head and isolate herself even more. It's not long before he retreats into secrecy, hiding his emotions and refusing to let others see his true nature. In her ongoing search for love and, ultimately, her identity, Margot begins to achieve inner peace and reshape her future. Even with numerous obstacles and setbacks, he is able to turn his life around, proving that destiny is meant to be fulfilled, not accepted. Is it possible to belong when the people who matter most tell you otherwise? Margot is emotionally excluded from the Tennenbaum family, deprived of the attention of the father figure in her life, who often introduces her to others as his "adopted daughter, Margot Tennenbaum". Royal creates a psychological barrier between Margot and the rest of the family, simply by rejecting that... half of the paper... a life doomed to failure. Additionally, as Royal seeks out beings for redemption, Margot grows closer to her estranged family. As her broken relationship with her father is restored, she learns to forgive and overlook her dark teenage years. As a result, Margot regains the courage to return to her career as a writer, aiming for success and prosperity. Another crucial milestone in Margot's path to happiness is her confinement to Richie. Being able to talk openly about her secrets allows Margot to free herself and gain trust in others. However, the aspect that has the most critical impact on Margot's life is her ability to trust her heart, giving her the power to confess her love for Richie. Ultimately, he gains the confidence to overcome his past and restore his broken dreams. As she learns to free her heart, Margot finds true happiness.
