It's one of Wes Anderson's shitty movies pretentious morons like to pretend are funny or significant in anyway.
You know a person is bland, lack personality, and taste when they say one of their favorite films is any Wes Anderson film.
>you have to kill your ego >Be one of the most succesfull football players of all time >Have a family party where a camera crew is present who are shooting a documentary about your life >In front of the whole family: "My brother, the former alcoholic has redeemed himself and quit drinking. I put him in charge of a store that sells my merchandising, since I can now trust him.
Total Ego Death.
Yeah but whose ego is killing their ego here? It doesn’t make any sense? If anything Ronaldo sounds like a dick for putting his brothers problems on blast
I love every single breath in this movie and every time it gets to the part where Richie attempts to kill himself I get all romantic and dream of how i'll do it eventually.
That sequence is wonderful. I think musically it goes... Needle in the Hay, Ruby Tuesday, Fly (Nick Drake), She Smiled Sweetly. That's off the top of my head though, but it's just such an awesome sequence of songs. Do Wes Anderson movies even have kino music any more.
hit and miss, depends on the setting, Darjeeling Limited had the best music, followed by Life Aquatic with these amazing acoustic Bowie covers by Seu Jorge but the last few films didnt but probably because they weren't period suitable and then Asteroid City I can't remember because its mid
I remember when Fox were going to lose the rights to Fantastic Four unless they made a movie within a certain time frame so they just churned them out. I feel sometimes that that is how Wes Anderson gets his casts. Gets 40 of the best working actors to all have one line each so he can get there number for when he actually needs it
I doubt it works like that, more like they themselves make it known they’d like to work with them and if they don’t have time for a bigger role they just get a cameo. I bet it’s a comfy as frick set to drop by and they probably reassure themselves they’re still “real artists” when they get a credit it in his crap movies

yeah that's actually how it is for sure, I was being facetious. I'd take any job in his films myself just to be on set. There are definitely directors I won't even be in an elevator with.
Word, I used to hear about the music in his movies and they really rounded out the feeling of them. I haven't seen one since Fox but I haven't heard anyone say "the songs in ____ were amazing!" I think he's lost touch.
The one with Bruce Willis was kinda meh and The Hotel one was just not good. I loved 'The Darjeeling Limited' because it nails the brotherly dynamics. Critics don't like it for some reason. Haven't seen 'Isle Of Dogs'. I loved 'The Fantastic Mr. Fox' and it's a bit in the same style I think, but since nobody ever talks about it, maybe it's not very good.
I watched a couple of scenes of that new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie on youtube and I loved the artstyle, it reminded me of Wes Anderson (or his artists)
Moonrise Kingdom is what you're thinking off and I had forgotten about it as well. The Fantastic Mr Fox is brilliant though. I also feel that its underrated. I guess its because nobody knows who its for? maybe adults think its for kids but kids don't like it because its slightly too sophisticated and nuanced with a lot of adult themes. its audience is probably 30 year old single white men on Cinemaphile
>you constantly forget and remember throughout the entire quirky movie that Chas’ wife was killed just before the events of the film
It works so much better than any of the other hamfisted kill-the-music-were-being-dramatic-here bullshit tearjerker moments of unexpected violence Anderson shoehorns into his films and that’s why RT is his best movie
I liked 'The French Dispatch'. it felt adventurous and theatrical. it was like a mockery of his own style while also being sincere. I'll definitely have to rewatch it. Ralp Fiennes called him an 'Auteur', which sounds pompous, but I feel like it's an apt description. They're self indulgent universes.
I liked the French Dispatch actually but it was made to be like short stories and that's how it left me feeling. All of them were enjoyable but none of them have time to make me feel moved. I'll watch all of his films because he is an auteur really and it's a privilege that there are still filmmakers creating their own vision but yeah would love one more film where I actually know the characters names and care about them from beginning to end or to be honest if he just keeps doing the Roald Dahl thing then that's perfectly charming and suitable for him as well.
He recommends a ton of movies. It's a series they have going on where they invite actors and directors to go to one of the last DVD stores in Paris. They talk about movies. Wes Anderson wasn't the most interesting guest as far as anecdotes go but he gives like a 150 recommendations.
Goodness.
This and Life Aquatic are the best of the Coen Bros. movies.
>Coen Bros. movies
???
I couldn't remember who made these; and that was the only directors' name from that era I could think of.

Family is everything but you have to kill your ego for anyone to be able to trust you

what in gods name are you trying to say
When you said: "You have to kill your ego", it reminded me of that scene. And since it's movie related, I just thought I'd throw it in there.

I watched Asteroid City kind of drunk and didn't love it. The stage play aspect didn't really work for me.

I thought Grand Budapest Hotel was one of his best. Different strokes I suppose.
It seems to me that it was the favourite of people who don't really like or know his films so it was certainly the more accessible film he's made.
That's probably part of it. Personally I think Rushmore is his best. Seen em all.
I finally get it.
He’s everything I’m not.
Nobody gets it. It's the Emperor's new clothes of movies.

Rushmore and (to a lesser extent) The Life Aquatic also nail the bigger emotional moments for me, which is why these three are my favourite Andersons
It's worth it for the blacked scene when she's 19
It's just a quirky film where a broken family learns to value what they have and abandons their grudges.

watched this movie cuz IMDB tagged it with full frontal female nudity, it's garbage
