How come no one talks about him on this board?
Jaxson Morris
Post yfw you enjoy the movies of Sir Wes Anderson
Justin Robinson
Alexander Sanders
I don't know if this thread is meant to be bait or something, but Anderson is a fantastic director, and the director that comes to my mind when I think 'auteur'.
Landon Wilson
Darjeeling Limited is my favorite. I watch it on planes and try not to cry near strangers
Aaron Brown
Hey I know her, that's the town tart
Cameron Nguyen
I love his stuff but out of everything he's done The Life Aquatic just could not hold my attention. It just wasn't me i guess.
Jayden James
Not bait, just my favorite director and I never see anyone talk about him
Jack Gonzalez
How can I dress like I'm in a Wes Anderson film?
Jason King
I haven't seen bottle rocket and i forget darjeeling limited, but every other one of his movies has a scene of someone smoking a pipe.
David Richardson

Asher Wood
Amazing movies
Carson Rogers
I feel like Moonrise is his most celebrated film by normies and it's my least favorite (still really good)
Henry Long
Also good. And she's a cutie.
Robert Roberts
>Step 3: wear defining accessories that would make you look weird IRL
Time to get that Celtic cat broach I've always wanted
Jason Gonzalez
My expectations for this movie were impossibly high and I need to rewatch it. I think despite 'fitting the mold' of a Wes Anderson movie, it takes the most chances
Jordan Jackson
Go for it bro, it's not like you can get any LESS pussy
Fuck, that worked out as a better pun in my head because you said cat but typing it out just makes it sound angry
Joseph Johnson
I found this one to be forgettable. I think you'll like it though if you like life aquatic.
Cooper Foster
I have never seen Bottle Rocket. I think I'm worried I won't like it
Jaxson Cruz
It's the least Wes Anderson movies of them all. It's okay. Pretty standard. I'm feeling a light 6 on the movie
Robert Ramirez
Is the life aquatic good? I like tennebaums and budapest hotel.
Caleb Wright
>mfw
Alexander Jones
Isle of Dogs releases March 23. Go see it, he's only 48 and we need 30 more years of Anderson-kino
Brayden Ortiz
I hope Wes casts her again
Andrew Sanchez
It looks like shit. Why is he doing animation again? Is he a weeb now?
Owen Reyes
how does it look like shit?
Adam Jenkins
Never seen any of his movies. Where should I start?
Aiden Reed
My favourite animated film.
Ian Hill
Start from newest to oldest but save Fantastic Mr.Fox for last or just skip it
Jeremiah King
Depends on your age desu.
Ayden Hall
>Skipping one of his best.
Why?
Anthony Reyes
this but without the second part
Elijah Green
So beautiful
Josiah Smith
Rushmore and Life Aquatic have Bill Murray in a leading role
If I was making a recommendation for first Wes Anderson, it would be one of those
Nathaniel Hall
thicc
Tyler Lopez
Honestly this is my fave one. MK feels quirky for the sake of it but I feel like GBH is the film where his aesthetics and directorial style are most at home. Also Ralph Fiennes is incredible.
Dylan Rodriguez
It suffers greatly from pacing and tone. The tone shifts at about the 30 minute mark from being a typical Wes Anderson family "dramady" to a fast paced cartoon revolving around a chase.
Henry Thompson
>The tone shifts at about the 30 minute mark from being a typical Wes Anderson family "dramady" to a fast paced cartoon revolving around a chase.
But this was great and surely you could argue the same about the grand budapest hotel. I suppose it's agree to disagree. I have noticed that people tend to either put it at the top of their favourite Wes Anderson films or right at the bottom.
Aaron Lopez
OP here - my 2c on Fantastic Mr. Fox is that it has incredibly impactful dialogue in that the characters feel like they choose their words very intentionally then just leave the words to hang.
I'm not doing a great job of describing it - but the classic "If what I think is happening, is happening... It better not be" is hilarious because in this film where every word is so deliberate, her character is so angry that she can't even complete a real sentence
Nathaniel Nelson
I know what you mean, it gave the more emotional scenes more impact as well. The scene where Mr. Fox talks to Ash in the sewer was so genuine and heartfelt. Also Wes Anderson's sense of humour translates so perfectly to stop motion animation, I can't wait for Isle of Dogs.
David Green
Just catched this here on TV in my country last night.. and I'm wondering.. is there any more movies with this 'dad pretend to die to be with family' theme? Not as good as Royal tenebaums for sure.. but gimme some suggestions
Caleb Martinez
>tfw cate was actually pregnant during this film
unf
Noah Thompson
>tfw Dudley was just a normal kid who liked all the attention
Zachary Morales
I love Wes but he has a problem closing out his movies I honestly can't remember how half of them end. He builds the most amazing worlds and characters, and then he seems to just get lost and I get bored and uninterested by the end.
Aiden Davis
But fantastic Mr Fox is great user. Fantastic even. Sorry.
Jack Cox
Just watched Moonrise Kingdom as my first Wes Anderson film. What should I watch next?
Leo Ramirez
My favourites are Life Aquatic, Royal Tenebaums and Darjeeling Limited
Hunter Cook
Grand Budapest or fantastic Fox
Logan Wilson
He already has. She's in Isle of Dogs.
Jace Reyes
>I am feeling a light 6
Fucking idiot.
Justin Nelson
His best and most mature film
Robert Sanchez
I had similarly high expectations and found it good, but wanting the first time I saw it. Might be the only movie I've seen that I thought was too short. It seemed as if too many characters and familiar faces was crammed in for the sake of it with little to no relevance to plot development. Saw it again a couple of years later and loved it.
Lincoln Morales
Nice counterpoint :)
Jayden Ortiz
Was it supposed to make you cry? I didn't feel the movie ever get too emotional.
Jaxson Campbell
>I couldn't save mine
Brody Cook
>the point is he is feeling "a light 6" as an opinion on something
>able to such levels of mental divergence he can imagine that there is someone more stupid than himself
Chase Price
I don't love Moonrise Kingdom, the colour palette was too bland which with the slow start really bore me. I love all his other films.
Great filmmaker, we need more like him.
Kayden Rodriguez
>the colour palette was too bland
I liked how natural it was
Aaron Foster
>Mfw
Jose Perry
It was piss yellow for the most part. What's that in post-processing terms, crushed blues or something?
Nolan King
fuck Bill "reddit" Murrey
Dylan Rivera
child protagonists ruined the movie for me, I wish it was about Ed Norton doing chief scout things
Aaron Stewart
I thought some of the visual effects were jarring, but apart from that found the look very evocative of the past.
Benjamin Cook
Christopher Flores
Life Aquatic ending is unforgettable to me
Carter Wilson
the third act was kinda shit
Sebastian Rodriguez
I don't know. The whole sequence was happening too fast for it to be emotional for me.
'I wonder if it remembers me' from Zissou hit me harder.
Jack Scott
Why? I thought it delivered its message perfectly. Not to mention
>d-dad's on fire
Anthony Kelly
His films look like anime. i like it
Landon Jones
Sigur Ros is cheating though
Nicholas Robinson
>I wish the work of art someone made was more about a side character that I liked than what the artist did
Used to be this emotion could have been channeled into something creative, but you just use it to show people how stupid you are.
Michael Cook
David Foster
All his movies have a very tender core, usually focused on emotionally stunted individuals. It wouldn't work if it was focused on Norton.
Kevin Walker
Try again, this time not throwing a tantrum
Jason Sanders
..or maybe I think that those child actors can't act for shit and making them the protagonists of a movie ruined it beforehand
Aiden Carter
it's his worst movie
Parker Morris
Nothing you could ever say would change the fact that you are the kind of guy who is capable of "feeling a light 6" about something. I pity those people.
Matthew Watson
Nicholas Stewart
please
William Thompson
It's supposed to be a Tarantino movie through the lens of a Wes Anderson movie. It's pretty good.
Ian Thomas
Joseph Kelly
Never realized how stacked the cast is till I saw it in print
Blake Russell
Jayden Diaz
Could you use it in a sentence?
Jonathan Morris
Wes Anderson is the ultimate normie and reddit director. Also he is a hack.
Michael Perez
You spelt Luc Besson wrong
Oliver Scott
Dishonesty and hackiness = Wes Anderson
David Fisher
>movie about childhood
>should not star children
Just because I makes you uncomfortable to see children because of your unconfronted latent pedophilia does not mean that a movie whose central theme is childhood (the character you love so much is a boy scout leader you freak) should not star children. Confront your rapey childhood, so you will be able to be reminded of it without getting ptsd, you victim.
Jace Myers
he should have cast decent child actors then
Dominic Butler
You are but an animal.
Aiden Young
what's your problem
Jordan Johnson
Joseph Wilson
Man, you are really buttblasted today. Every post you make just screams impotent rage
Cameron Harris
he's a hack
rushmore is his best film
Owen Moore
>
I really liked the Grand Budapest Hotel and for me, its surprising that RLM gave it a non reccomendation. Having enjoyed the works of Wes Anderson before it's really his most accessible movie
Isaiah Thomas
Robert Cooper
I fucking hate the anti-animation autism I see so often on this board.
Jordan White
Ending of Fantastic Mr. Fox is excellent.
Xavier Long
this movie is perfect
