WWAW Wes Anderson?

[PogromStallone]

Grand Budapest Hotel is a masterpiece, nothing he has done since has been able to come close. When I watched Isle of Dogs in the theatre, it was only me and like 5 other people there and when it was over and I was walking out, I saw the person working there asleep in one of the seats.

 

[Dummy Gaynuts]

I believe he is still an excellent director post-Tenembaums

BUT

I think Owen Wilson brought a lot to the table as a writing partner and his absence in that role is very clear after his “troubles”.

I still think he's a great director but even life aquatic is bordering fart-sniffing with all the quirkiness

I didn't dislike Isle of Dogs as some of his other movies, but it was really fucking boring to me. Aside from the animation it just felt rather lifeless and dull to me.

I'm all in with the Wes Anderson. There's always good storytelling and well written characters to give substance to his inimitable stylish aesthetic that characterizes his movies.

As for any subversive undercurrent that implies some degenerate behaviour from it's source, I'm not convinced. He's obviously a bit eccentric and focuses his stories around flawed characters but he might just be a typical art student type.

I don’t like it much because I don’t like farces as a genre. I can’t really criticise it outside of that though.

Ah yes, perhaps setting an animated film in a garbage dump wasn’t his best decision.

I’m all in with the Zissou you’re crazy.

I understand why his style is off putting to many, but that film is a great example of what I’m talking about.

He has all this whimsical shit like the glowing jellyfish and the claymation shark and the Portuguese cover songs… but what the movie is really about is an extremely damaged narcissist who hurt everyone around him and couldn’t accept the death of his friend. At the core of all his movies there is a character study or redemption arc for a broken person.

I also like that Wes will let harsh violence or cruelty into his films to get your attention and shatter the whimsical reality the audience may have been lulled into by all his stylistic affectations.

Anyway my point is that I realize his style can be off-putting but I think that’s just a surface level reading. if you look past that veneer he’s actually doing something interesting at the core of these movies.

All you really need is bottle rocket and Rushmore. I don’t dislike his other movies but none of them reached the heights of those two. Life aquatic and Tennenbaums are both solid but didn’t quite have that undercurrent of playful innocence that I really enjoyed in Rushmore. Anderson really is a director with a distinct style and substance that you can instantly recognize even if you haven’t seen the movie but are familiar with any of his other works. He deserves a lot of credit for that especially with all the cookie cutter paint by numbers kike cinema that gets pumped out every year

I think Owen Wilson had a much more significant influence on those two films and tenembaums than he is usually given credit for.

Owen loves/loved to write about these delusional characters with minimal or wildly incorrect self-awareness. The first three Wes Anderson movies owe a lot to his writing IMO.

His films are a visual representation of what benzo addiction looks like to a normal person.

I agree. Owen Wilson isnt your typical A-list Hollywood retard, he’s an overly sentimental high iq artist. Anderson had the vision for the films but Wilson gave it a heart

WWAW “really loving” kids touching each others genitals on camera for money? I get what you mean though, he hits the spot for romanticism in a very unrealistic but interesting way.

You’re not wrong Dogeater, but you’re an asshole!

He should do one where there is no redemption and everything ends depressingly horribly just to fuck with his audience.

I try.

 

[Duxbury Dave]

Not my cup of tea. His style seems way too cutesy and repetitive.

 

[TorqueWheeler]

Love his stuff. I think Royal Tenebaums and Rushmore are his best but there are a lot of great movies in that filmography.

I do love all the obsessive set design and perfect symmetry but I'm also glad Asteroid City looks very different than his last several movies just to see if he can still do something else.

Bottle Rocket rules, especially the soundtrack (both the Mark Mothersbaugh originals and the other music). I remember linking Rushmore and don't remember anything about Tenenbaums other than it being quirky. That quirky hipster shit wore thin, so I haven't seen his other movies to be honest witcha. The copycat faggots like Zach Braff and his quirky faggot Garden State movie annoy me infinitely more. Fuck, do I hate that movie.

The Wilson brothers rule.

 

[Renaus]

Royal Tenenbaums is too quirky for me. I like Grand Budapest Hotel and Moonrise Kingdom.

Taika Waititi tried so hard to ape his style with JoJo Rabbit, but couldn't muster up the charm or the obsessive framing that Anderson brings.
