I ignored every thread to it in the run-up, didn't see a single spoiler and had high hopes it would be a sci-fi movie with a Wes Anderson twist, instead I got the most pretentious, insufferable, fart-huffing liberal-arts-bait bullshit ever.
it actually isn't much of a metacommentary, he just upped the ante on his usual schtick of having a framing device. Royal Tenenbaums, Grand Budapest, and French Dispatch at least all depict the main story as the contents of a book, this time he just changed it to a tv broadcast and expounded on it a lot more. It's like how much French Dispatch gave the journalists telling the stories more character but he's also upfront about how all those characters here (the actors) are also fictional. Eventually he'll make it up to Saragossa Manuscript levels of story-within-storying, not because he's making some statement but just because he doesn't know when to quit with writing his script.
He's notoriously difficult to work with and often hijacks a project because he wants to have a say in the making. There are probably exceptions, I assume that when he works with somebody like Wes, he keeps his mouth shut which in turn leads to a fruitful collaboration.
the visual shit in Anderson movies is super meticulous but I think he gives his actors a ton of leeway. actors love that shit, which is why he's able to get so many of them to work with him over and over.
I fricking hate how movies made for both the foreign and domestic markets have to spoon feed the audience everything and have characters say expository dialogue. Give me obscure symbolism and metaphors, give me ambiguity, give me subtlety, give something to chew on and debate with people afterwards! This movie does that and if you couldn’t appreciate that it’s because you’ve been indoctrinated by studio products made for jerk offs who go to the movies to see the heroes fight a beam of light shooting directly up into the clouds
The Adults was top cute, i read an interview and she said all the project she has been involved were with no budgets due to the strike. Hopefully this will be fixed soon.
If I didn't hate the end result of this film so much I'd have to be impressed at just how fricking bad it manages to be. All star cast - everyone acts the same, zero great performances, interesting meta layers - adds absolutely nothing to the story overall, bizarre scenes/premises for character interaction - no stakes and nothing significant happens from them.
It's a spectacular frick up, I don't know how it ended up being that unpleasant to watch but I will never watch a Wes Anderson film again after he tricked me into wasting my time on this pastel coloured shit log.
It is just too painful to get through the first two "acts" of the movie. Too much of the same repeating gags that aren't funny and visual cues that were old after the first 10 minutes of the movie.
The second half of the film is actually very good, but the slog that it takes to get there keeps me from calling it a very good movie.
Truly no words can explain this nonsensical mess of a movie. It makes no sense. It has no story. It has no characters. No plot. It manages to look pretty while at the same time looking like tie dyed shirts got put into a Nutribullet.
I just don't even know how to review this thing, movie, play, whatever it is you would call whatever this thing is. Every facet of this movie is fake, there is no way for actual humans to actually connect to the emotions this movie thinks it wants you to have.
This is the gayest movie ever and you are nowhere as intellectual as you think for pretending to like this shit movie with a visual that has been milked out by some otp talentless homosexual of a director
I tried watching this drunk and high and did get absolutely filtered by the gay meta subplot
Do you dare me Cinemaphile?
I just watched it for the two seconds of it that one girls cgi muff
I wish Scarlett Johansson would die
Characters are all shallow also no plot at all. Terrible "movie"

Oh boy a wes Anderson film so quirky
>finally know what Black folk mean by "white nonsense"
You made me laugh at that one.
I liked it, but it's incredibly pretentious.
yes, you finally realized you're mentally on the same level as a Black person.

His movies are pretty hit or miss and this one was pretty bad.
the meta commentary was paper thin, which is the problem

How come Wes Anderson movies are the only time you ever see Ed Norton anymore?

this movie is dogshit and i fricking hate marvel and all that bullshit
Ok, so start the debate …
this movie has entire scenes that exist just for exposition dumping, and they make up like 40% of the movie
It was ok. The 'you can't wake up if you don't fall asleep' bit was completely moronic though.
When will he make another one as kino as Steve Zissou?
Tom Hanks open carries
No one bats an eye
I think based
He felt out of place. Whole movie woulda been better with fewer characters and more focus.
He's a juxtaposition between traditional masculinity and his son-in-law, the autistic photographer.
I think we were expected to assume he was ex-military
?
He literally mentions Guadalcanal.
well there you go
it needed more sophia
Only watched this movie for her but it wasnt a bad flick.
Sadly I don’t see that she has any upcoming projects. Hopefully it’s just because of the strike.
The Adults was top cute, i read an interview and she said all the project she has been involved were with no budgets due to the strike. Hopefully this will be fixed soon.
I need to check that out.
She's studying in London atm, there won't be any new projects from her in a long while
>studying
is that what they call rehab these days?
You shut your prostitute mouth when your talking about drunk monke.
Don't you dare, homosexual. /cutesoph/ is pure.
It was shit, I couldn't finish it

Norton was the best one.
Is this the first schwarzaman european release?
I do want to find out what kind of sunglasses that Asian kid was wearing, I want a pair.
Can't remember the last time I watched a film so far up its own arse

I enjoy the films of Wes Anderson.
Maya Hawke as the young schoolteacher broke my fricking dick.
