He was never good, Owen Wilson was the true talented one
I saw it yesterday and really liked it. But it's a movie that requires some thought and discussion to fully unpack and I'm sure morons will automatically think it pretentious because of some of the structural techniques it uses.
Definitely not a movie for an anti-social idiot like yourself
grand budapest hotel was pretentious
I agree, easily one of his worst
I think people are tired of his style when it has no substance. Budapest was his peak
Pretty much this
I understand this complaint, and Moonrise Kingdom definitely felt thin as did Isle of Dog, but how can you say Grand Budapest had substance? There was hardly any kind of central thematic argument or question being explored, virtually no character arcs...That movie was pretty bad and relied way too heavily on its style.
Meanwhile Asteroid City actually has a lot of substance but its kind of hidden under the surface.
not watching your tweeslop wes..
great non-response there moron
I’m sure I’ll enjoy it, every one of his I saw were fun.
You sound like a huge homosexual, people like Wes Anderson’s movies for the aesthetic. If you want something deep go resd a book you midwit moron.
I didn't go into it expecting it to have much substance, but I was surprised by it. It's not as deep as like a Kaufman or Schrader movie, but has a very potent message about why we need fantasy / dreams to help be the catalystic of inner change. In some ways it was Wes Anderson commenting on himself as a creator.
Also you're moronic if you think Anderson is only aesthetic. The movies that made him, like Royal Tenenbaums, Life Aquatic and Darjeeling Limited have very clear thematic throughlines and explore very real human issues.
Typically, like a moron, your first response at someone trying to discuss a movie on any kind of deeper level is anger and cynicism because how dare someone see depth in a place you are unable to. Really, you should have a nice day lmao
Black person nobody cares about those movies everybody loves the grand budapest hotel and moonrise kingdom instead. Also shut the frick up you moronic pseud, movies are entertainment that’s all.
No one likes Moonrise Kingdom, it's hardly ever talked about and Grand Budapest sucks. Stay stupid and stay mad.
Keep seething lmao everybody only talks about those two.
fantastic mr fox and life aquatic are probably still his most popular films.
Seethe more pseud homosexuals without grand budapest hotel nobody aside from a couple gays like you would know him.
ok so you're literally underage, now I get it.
people have been talking about wes anderson movies here since the inception of this damn board.
>this board
This whole website is fricking irrelevant. You’re genuinely moronic if you think otherwise. Ask anybody irl and they’ll mention the Moonrise kingdom and GBH.
life aquatic was pretty mainstream iirc.
life aquatic came out in 2004 and zoomers do not watch anything earlier than the 2010s. just ignore him he's literally a baby
everyone in your zoomersphere maybe. go back to tiktok, it's more your speed
stupidest poster on this board
>still proving his point by being needless hostile at the idea of something having meaning
textbook low iq behaviour
Give it ten years, it too will be beloved
even budapest was pushing it. it was the first to go style over substance imo where the visuals and silliness was not equal to the emotional drama behind it. rushmore, royal tennabaums, and darjeeling all had a beauty about them that comes from the sadness and honesty of the characters and the juxtaposition of the colorful hyper fake scenery. It made them like good beach boys songs. sad but beautiful. I personally think this is the peak of that kind of wes anderson movie.
His films insist upon themselves.
>his style
His current style is looking dated, he needs a fresh look.
in a sense his style has always been dated, and that isn't really a problem. the ophuls influence is pretty core to his look
I'm talking about his current cinematography technique, the flat, story book style, it feels tired. Royal Tenenbaum, Rushmore, etc is visually different from French Dispatch, Asteroid city, and Budapest.
The line delivery will always be the same.
You might like Asteroid City then because I felt like it was directly commenting on his own style--including the stilted ish line delivery it usually entails.
There is a framing divicing throughout that actually employs a more unique style for Anderson.
Yeah it’s his most self aware. I thought the story within a story within a story would ruin it but I liked that it served the overall narrative theme of existential crisis in relation to humanity’s place in the universe and I was surprised that it didn’t break the immersion of the central story. Life is like a great play only the author died before he could finish the third act and we’re all left to pick up the pieces in the wake of its lingering mystery
framing device**
I'm moronic
Exactly, I was also weary of it at first, but it had great payoffs throughout, especially in the end when Augie goes to the balcony. I think you are spot on with your analysis, but I'd like to add this idea that we need dreams / stories as a form of temporary escape in order to then later "wake up" and change and grow (and find our own, personal answers to the mystery). The forced quarantine and encounter with the alien acts as this for Augie and Brainiac (and everyone else to a lesser extent) and in turn the play acts as that for the director to help him get over his divorce; with the movie itself (and perhaps all Wes Anderson movies) acting as such for the audience.
People were calling Budapest derivative trash when it came out, there's a sliding scale where people are more eilling to call a Wes Anderson movie great the older it is
Life Aquatic is really his peak, but he hasn't really had a straight up bad film, I even saw The French Dispatch recently and thought it was quite good. I think your appetite for a Wes Anderson movie correlates very strongly with how long it's been since you've seen one when you watch a new one
isle of dogs and french dispatch were both really fricking boring and pretentious. budapest hotel was good so i don't know what the frick happened inbetween. feels like he's washed up.
Why doesn't Cinemaphile say the wes Anderson meme anymore?
he's culturally irrelevant. too many flops.
because this is a zoomer board now and his films are for old people
>mid critic reviews and low audience
>Armond White positive review
Confirmed kino
How's ScarJo's nude scene?
Soph is in this, so I will be watching it no matter what you say.
kojima is such a fricking homosexual.
How can you say that? He watched the movie just for /ourgirl/ Sophia, he's based and literally me fr fr
He watched a whole movie just because he wants to frick the cute redheaded white girl. That's as non-homosexual as you can get.
>He watched a whole movie just because he wants to frick the cute redheaded white girl.
that's the average Cinemaphile OP, which relegates him back to homosexual status
That's the average red-blooded male, son.
I've never seen West Anderson movie before but I'm going to see this because it's the first white movie that's played on my theater for ages.
>white movie
Schwartzman
Johansson
Brody
Schreiber
Goldblum
>~~*jason alexander*~~
I'll trust my own judgment.
I'm going to give this nig one more chance after that god awful black and white bullshit he did last
Not enough diversity in this movie, won't be watching.
Bottle Rocket is still the best.
Wes Anderson peaked with Moonrise Kingdom
all downhill ever since
