Just rewatched The Grand Budapest Hotel. It's ridiculous how comfy this flick is, the comfiest kino of all time. The intricate details, symmetrical shots, miniatures, and Thicc color palette by god-tier Wes Anderson have their own charm. Ralph Fiennes as Monsieur Gustave H.? Perfection. The lad did phenomenal, easily his top-tier performance. Storytelling with humor, drama, and a pinch of noir. I swear this movie is like a warm, soft Mendl's Courtesan au Chocolat on a rainy day. Check it out if you're tired of capeshit and need a solid comfort movie. AGREE/DISAGREE?

it's a wes anderson flick I actually like, doesn't overdo it and stays interesting throughout, but don't post those gay ass youtube film essays ever again
anon the point is that all the comfiness got slowly stripped away by the two world wars and communism that's literally Stefan Zweig's entire oeuvre
>and communism
Unless you think brutalism is a comfy architectural style
I enjoy the films of Wes Anderson.
For me, it's The Life Aquatic. I'm not joking around. I first saw the movie at a very difficult moment in my life (my dad died suddenly [I found his body when I stopped over for lunch], and I had gall bladder surgery all within a month) so the themes of fatherhood and loss and friendship resonated with me a little more than I would have liked. I LOVE the soundtrack and the comfy atmosphere.
i like most of his movies
theyre easy to watch and somewhat funny
Life Aquatic is kino too
I bet i also enjoy the films of Wes Anderson, because I do.
Budapest is probably the only Anderson movie that I can say I really like. is it because it's the first of his that I've seen? I've now watched all of his movies and really only enjoyed Rushmore.
saw it in theaters twice (unfortunately) for a weird reason... adrien brody yelling "THAT FRICKING homosexual" is the only thing that made me laugh. fiennes is hilarious in strange days but he's incredibly annoying in this
yeah rushmore and then the royal tenenbaums are his best. bottle rocket was great and then a totally ridiculous modern relationship appears
i know asteroid city will be shit because it has all the
>WELL HELLO AUDIENCE
>YOU MAY RECOGNIZE THIS CHARACTER
>BECAUSE IT'S PLAYED BY A PRETTY WELL-KNOWN ACTOR
>YUP
>THAT ACTOR IS IN THIS FILM TOO
>AND HE'S SOUNDING AND LOOKING A LITTLE DIFFERENT FROM WHAT YOU'RE USED TO
shots that lame-ass films love to do these days. can already guarantee every character gets a big ol' full-blown framed-up shot while they say something along the lines of WELL JEEZ GOSH GOLLY HELLO PARTNERS WELCOME TO THIS NECK OF THE WOODS
it's a terrible thing when directors become self-conscious and realize what the audience loves about their films
You were filtered
I watched, and enjoyed it.
I like most of Wes Anderson's other films but let's be honest most of them are whimsical piles of shit about nothing. I feel like this one actually had some history, meaning, emotional core inside it. It was a rose tinted (literally) glimpse into a vanished world.
>most of them are whimsical piles of shit about nothing
Ass Roid City just gives up and has a character admit this halfway through the film
>metamodern
video essay homies are the worst. get a fricking job.
Correct, Grand Budapest is Wes Anderson's best movie, hands down
grand budapest hotel didn't click for me but i agree that wes is great. what's also great is how white his movies are and he's part of that 90s indie movie movement with pt anderson and tarantino. i used to find his movies annoying but getting a girlfriend really changes things and i find moonrise kingdom incredibly beautiful and rushmore is a great comedy.
>getting a girlfriend really changes things
I owe the success of probably 25% of all sexual encounters to Wes Anderson and Hayao Miyazaki. b***hes love it when you put those movies one. I would like to meet one of them someday and tell him this just to see his reaction
>just to see his reaction
well i've got it for you anon... they'll roll their eyes and say "yeah it's called a chick-flick, bro" 'cause they've heard it 10 million times. anything you wanna' say to a musician or director you gotta' remember they've heard it already
>Hayao Miyazaki would say "it's a chick flick bro"
Pretty sure he would curse my bloodline in Japanese and call me a Western dog but yeah Anderson would for sure say that
THAT FRICKING homosexual
based
you deleted and I have to re-do it but now it's not as based but you still earned it so:
based
>THAT fricking homosexual!!!
Hardest I've laughed in a theater in a long time
This movie is tied with Moonrise Kingdom for me, literal 10/10 movies imo. Just saw Asteroid City and it's pure kino and I feel like Cinemaphile and most of everyone else has been filtered by it. If you look at the headlines of reviews of it every other one says it's "Anderson's worst, pretentious, nonsensical" and every other one is "possibly Wes Anderson's best film yet." I haven't decided where I'd put it but it's definitely up there in a ranking of his films.
>the comfiest kino of all time
wrong
Not even James Garner's comfiest
Good lord
whoever peeled that potato missed a lot of skin
see
cute nose
This is the only movie I've seen her in where she uses her real accent
>And he probably FRICKS them as well!
>I go to bed with all my friends
The only Wes Anderson film I've ever loved
THOSE FRICKERS
