This is honestly the biggest piece of shit I have ever seen. Not once during this entire film was I invested, entertained or enjoying myself

low IQ post
What the frick are you talking about, just because something is shit does not make it sophisticated or good you incel fricks.
The movie literally looked like you gave a bunch of art school graduates a million bucks to make a movie
low IQ response
that because it wasnt meant to be entertaining. it was made explicitly to piss you off and draw you out so youd make this post and we could finally identify you by your ip.
It has full frontal in a pg-13 movie, that's automatically based
sorry kid, its only for Wes heads
Lmao everybody who trashes this movie can never articulate why it's so terrible. It's like getting filtered causes midwit to go feral
>No plot
>Style over substance
>Shit acting
>The movie has zero conclusion or reason
>No interesting characters

reposting from earlier threads:
It's about how we need dreams / fantasy to escape into, to act as a catalyst for change. Hence "you can't wake up if you don't fall asleep." That is why the movie presents multiple layers of reality. The city of Asteroid City and the "fantasy" of the alien visit forces every character to be sequestered from their normal lives / problems and gives them a place / dream where they can enact change. If everyone had left when they were originally supposed to, Brainiac would never have had worked up the courage to kiss the girl he likes, Augie would never have fallen in love, etc. The play of Asteroid City is the "dream" for the actors, the writer and the director who is literally trying to escape facing his divorce by living in the play(house), which is partly why the play is about letting go of a woman who you used to love.
Augie's actor becoming subsumed by his character, using the play to help him get over the death of the writer (who he loved) the same was as his character gets over the death of his wife, the same way a viewer could relate to the film and use it to help them get over the loss of a loved one. This points to a meta commentary on how we interact with movies / fiction, specifically Wes Anderson movies which are so dream like and unreal in their presentation, with their vivid colors that contrast against the black and white "reality" and how we can use these temporary dream-movies to catalyze our own realizations and internal changes (Anderson even makes a joke about how his characters usually have a very stilted delivery when Augie is rehearsing lines, Midge tells him to use his grief, and his delivery is virtually unchanged)
That is why the entrance and exit from, Asteroid City are bookended with cops chasing criminals and nuke tests, because these are the perils of reality that we can momentarily escape from in Asteroid City
Holy frick the movie is even more shit than I first assumed
>movie is bad, it had no meaning or plot
>here is the meaning and plot
>its even worse than I thought
irredeemably low iq
the world would be a better place without you in it
your entire bloodline has been a mistake
I wonder how morons like you justify the way your brain works. You suggested the movie was bad because it had no meaning, but then when given a meaning supported by the text of the movie, you still insist it is bad, despite it completely erasing your initial reason for saying it was bad.
You just decided it was bad from the get go and will use any reason to justify your position, no matter how much you contradict yourself or flip flop positions.
Life Aquatic is probably his most profound movie
Just because a movie has a few minor "ideas"or "plots" for incel shut in freaks like you to create some make believe plot to supplement the movie having zero plot or substance does not make it good fatso.
The movie fricking sucked
If you couldn't follow the very simple plot of the movie then you are unfortunately very, very stupid or you might have ADHD.
sounds awful
It was really good actually, but would be unfortunately wasted on you
stupidest poster on Cinemaphile right now
do you like any of Wes Anderson's movies
I enjoyed Moonrise Kingdom and grand budapest hotel
I liked it
The truth is that Wes hasn’t made an interesting movie since Royal Tenenbaums.
Isn't Royal Tenenbaums where his whole obnoxious style really kicked off? Why would you like that one?
That obnoxious style is pervasive throughout. In my opinion he fully solidified that with Grand Budapest with each previous movie edging closer. He still flirts with genuine sentiment in Royal Tenenbaums. Luke Wilson tries to kill himself and the scene is still effective. When Margot gets off the bus and he sees her, it works. He tries to capture something real in that movie.
As I see it, everything after that has been hiding behind playful kitsch symmetry. The characters are no longer even human, just cute dolls. That’s why so many people complain that his movies lack substance, and that’s true. They lack any sort of humanity that would make them interesting.
I've seen every one of Wes's movies except French Dispatch and this. Rushmore, Moonrise, and Budapest are the only ones I'd ever care to watch again in my life. There's nothing whatsoever appealing about Asteroid City. It's like a Wes Anderson parody but actually made by Wes Anderson. Dude's done.
