Is Wes basically done? French Dispatch and Asteroid City were absolute turds.
Yes. He died in his own masturbation.
can't believe that this is the same guy who made darjeeling limited and tenenbaums. is he just getting old?
Darjeeling limited wasn't even good. The Life Aquatic is kino.
I loved Darjeeling Limited. Great soundtrack, proper travelling in India vibes. I'd put Rushmore as my favourite, Darjeeling Limited second (assuming I'm not allowed Hotel Chevalier)
he needs to take a break or find someone that writes for him. apparently he's doing another anthology film like dispatch.
he needs Owen Wilson as a co-writer.
I watched this last night and stopped 15 minutes before the ending. I just didn't care. The whole movie is israelites and mutts reciting the most pretentious dialog i've heard outside of a lit major's thesis story.
It was like a high school student was given a lot of money and decided to make a wes anderson movie. It was a series of set pieces that gave the movie a claustrophobic feel despite it having aliens and astronomy in the plot. This movie only served to elevate isle of dogs to the second-worst wes anderson movie.

go on, we're listening
it's been downhill ever since his falling out with Owen Wilson. it's obvious that Owen was the thing that pulled Wes back. without him wes might as well be jerking off on set with his camera pointed directly at his dick.
owen wilson is literally in the french dispatch
>Bottle Rocket
>Rushmore
>Royal Tennanbaums
owen wilson as a screen writing partner
Only bottle rocket is good out of those
when was the first time someone told you to your face that you are a fricking idiot? i'm guessing young, probably 5 or 6. i know you hear it a lot so you dig into your shit opinions but really man it doesn't have to be that way.
Literally never. If you think rushmore or tenenbaums are good you need to go back to r*ddit
Shut the frick up moron. Rushmore and the Royal Tenenbaums are absolute perfection.
If you like le quirky ennui cuckold movies, sure. Otherwise, no
I need to clarify that royal tenenbaums is 'good' despite not being my cup of tea. Rushmore is just bad
you're so fricking stupid
make Fantastic Mr Fox 2 you coward
Same thread poster strikes again.
So what's the problem with it? Anti-West israelitery? Just plain boring?
It insists upon itself.
See
sounds like it's pretty good if you don't have shit taste
not op, but
is right.
All the Anderson tropes are starting to feel forced and self-referential.
The camera work especially feels like a cliche - in no way is he pushing himself forwards, just ploughing a rut.
It's also, considering Wes "humour" really got a bad cast. There's some great names there, but people that are really unsuitable in their roles. ScarJo being the most egregious example in this, but it mis-foots all over the line between pastiche and outright bad. I generally like the scoring - even for the less good films, but again - this one's a stinker.
I liked the colour palette though.
It's a Wes Anderson style movie made by Wes Anderson and people have just decided they're tired of his style. That's all it is.
How does it compare to Rushmore and Moonrise Kingdom
I haven't seen it but from the trailer and the way people talk about it it reminds me of pic related: pretentious goyslop
I wasn’t sure if it was just me while watching it, but yes this movie is masturbatory schlock. It’s as if he doesn’t want the audience in on the movie, it’s for the people of the industry, directors, actors, writers, etc. and not for our feeble minds which do not understand art, it feels as though he thinks it’s above us, therefore the movie should not even bother being good. The first third or so was the worst, by the end some parts I’d found charming, but that first third or so I almost turned it off completely, and normally I’m a big fan of his films. The whole thing felt like a israelite hunched over in a bathtub sucking his own wiener while fingering his butthole.
>which do not understand art
I've read several people talking about this, but there's nothing difficult to understand in this one. It's the standard "using art to overcome grief" movie.
That’s what I’m trying to say, it acts as though it’s message is complex/difficult, when it isn’t. It’s the medium they explore using that art, performing art, that is especially masturbatory.
All that being said, I did like some of it. It still had some charming small touches and it looked nice. The alien landing knob being the same as the faulty car piece and the ending shot being the beginning shot but in reverse I liked the most.
Feel free to use this pasta for all of his movies going forward, it will work for everything made after Life Aquatic.
>The man is an alien now, a permanent citizen of some technicolor fantasy land he made in his mind, he is no longer capable of writing any kind of story that resonates with an actual human being at this point. People will trick themselves into liking it, they'll reference the use of color and framing, but they're all just lying. To seem cultured, to seem like they understood. But what use is there in knowing the quirks and turns of a turd of the mind?
>This is not cinema. This was 2 hours of self masturbatory disingenuous film making that serves no one except the director and midwits who confuse aesthetic with substance.
He's an extremely one-dimensional "auteur". His style and scope have not evolved at all. Plus, the excessive quirkiness is embarrassing for a man his age. You can see one of his movies and have the exact same experience when watching any of his other movies. Too stylized with absolutely no artistic inquiry.
Still haven't watched Asteroid City but French Dispatch is a masterpiece, his best movie and not for average audiences with misguided expectations.
The third story of that movie was a masterpiece. The rest is wank
The entire movie is delicate, tonally nuanced and varied, beautifully acted with fun references for those who can get them. The Del Toro/Seydoux story is great, the cook/ransom story is great, the student's story, all of them are excellent and refined.
When AI can perfectly replicate your personal aesthetic and tone, you've done something wrong.
Wes Anderson should get out of bed one day and want to make a science fiction or slasher film, but he never will. Good auteur directors have range.
It’s the same shit he’s done for 20 years what do you mean. His style is maddeningly one-note and his sense of humour is reddit this has always been the case.
I liked it
more that i remember liking budapest hotel
>it's too difficult to understand!
>He's up his ass with his own message!
The literal whole point of asteroid city is that you don't need to understand what's going on, you're just supposed to go where the story takes you and experience the emotions it gives you
Like the director says this multiple times explicitly. The climax where the light triangle jingles as the alien comes down emphasizes it. You are just fully totally enrapt in what is happening on screen. I saw this multiple times in theater and literally every time the theater erupted in laughter when the alien smiles because, again, you don't need to understand what's going on or why it's happening to find it funny
The idea of experiencing gonna and not wasting time on reasoning is a super consistent motif across all of Anderson's films
It's not great but it's really not that bad.
his le quirky pastel film get old after 2 movies
his next film needs to be stop animation
1. Rushmore
2. Darjeeling
3. Mr Fox
4. Tenenbaums
6. Isle of Dogs
I won't bother with the others, but Asteroid City is by and large the worst one so far. It's boring, even with an amazing cast and a premise that would've lent itself nicely to being a fun coming-of-age. It really does feel like a parody of Anderson's style.
