I had no idea that people didn't like the Life Aquatic, I can understand how some people might not like Wes Anderson's style as a whole, but to pick out a single movie out of his excellent lineup to dislike seems bizarre to me

No need to make an argument for it for me - it's one of my favorite movies. I always cry at the end.

I love how Ned starts with an N. And Zissou starts with a Z. They are kindred spirits, and it doesn’t matter if Ned was his biological son or not, because they shared a love from afar they got to express on their journey. Ned got to go on an adventure with his idol. And Steve Zissou got his spark back

This is legit my favorite Wes Andersen film. lt breaks my heart that it's largely forgotten.

YES BOY. Gonna have me a sensual 25 minutes

People say that when someone says something like that, it's because they're jealous. But it still hurts. It hurts bad. That man was damn rude. He can go straight to Hell.

The life aquatic is my favorite movie at all time

This is the movie that made me start paying attention to Wes Anderson. It's still my favorite honestly. It's certainly one of the films I've watched well over 20 times in my life. It's been a good while now though.

I see such a big connection between Steve Zissou and Bojack Horseman. Both characters are on the surface awful human beings but both characters drag so much grief and history with them that you know they could be better, you know how they became the person they are now and you know that they can still come back from it. Two of the most emotionally powerful characters ever created and both were misunderstood when people first saw them.

Even in an analysis video, devoid of context, I started tearing up at the jaguar-shark/everybody-hold-out-a-hand-and-touch-Zissou scene. Not crying, mind you. But definitely feeling it. God, such a good movie. And (in my opinion) Anderson's funniest, too.

I'm really happy this series is going on. In a time where you can't look online without another news story saying we are screwed to others arguing over basic human rights its nice to have a series trying to think positive

Your videos are a joy and like a diamond when they show up in my subscription box. Rare and priceless

I love how worth it the long wait between your videos are. So well made.

Outstanding video with breathtaking editing. I already loved this movie and now I love it even more.

I've been away for some time, I actually found out I had a son who I had never met before however sadly he passed away in a tragic helicopter accident. However it brings me joy to know that there are people out there who still enjoy this wonderful film.

It would be great to see your opinion in other wes anderson films.

HE HAS RETURNED! Praise the Yeasty Blade!

This is my families favorite Wes Anderson movie. I have never understood why it got hate.

All of your vids are magnifico

May the bread feed the hungry, and may the sword overcome the darkness! For [BREADSWORD] has come again!

I love this movie. I don't get why it was ignored. It's one of the comfiest films ever.

mah boi BREADSWORD out here killin it, every video is top tier my dude please keep it up.

This is my favorite Wes Anderson Film, and until now, I hadn't found anyone else that loved it as much as me. It's always everyones worst Wes movie. It's my best. I love it!!!

God I love Bill Murray. Thanks so much for making this one. One of Anderson's best films.

Just... the music playing in the background the entire time. Thank you.

Life Aquatic is a fantastic film I’ve watched countless times. It was misunderstood at the time. A beautifully shot, acted, and written movie. A perfect companion for The Tenenbaums. film. Wes Anderson was unfairly accused of relying upon a budget to replace creativity as if it were the cinematic version of The Doors’ Soft Parade.

I adore this movie. So fun. So funny. Entertaining. I laughed. Cried like a baby during the Ned’s death sequence and fell in love with the Zombies song. I can watch this movie every day. 10/10.

If I wasn't already subscribed from your Treasure Planet video, that opening alone would have had me a dedicated fan.

I love how the deep, thoughtful analysis is occasionally punctuated by something goofy or random.

Steve Zissou drops the subtlety when mentioning Cousteau & his Cronies when talking about the Zissou diving helmet comes with radio music.

Your background music always sounds like it's coming from another room, and it tricks me to pause the video every time!

Hey man, I’ve just watched all of your videos, I love the pacing and your inflection! You have a wonderful way with words and I appreciate the critiques you’re making. You brought many things to light that I didn’t realize! Keep working man! I love it!

This will always be one of my favorites.. the emotions hidden behind the comedy mixed with the perfectly placed music is all I need in this type of film.

I've always been meaning to watch this film. Now I know I have to

I liked it, but I LOVED the soundtrack. Wes Anderson movies have such a great use of previously made music and visuals, it’s like you could really see what he was thinking when he heard it for the first time.

Great review! This movie is so fantastic. My personal favorite of any film out there :) I saw another person talking about the path of Eleanore, specifically when they buried Ned at sea. Do you believe she was mourning the death of her wish-it-could-have-been-hers child? To me it felt like her decision to come rejoin the team and fund the rest of their mission was her telling Ned that she was ready to be his new mother and Steve the father. I believe that the reason she left in the first place was not just because of the argument they had but because she wasn’t sure of herself in being ready for a maternal role. That’s why she needed breathing room. When Ned’s casket floated down, she was watching and mourning with no one around her. She felt alone in the world. But she also wanted the privilege of seeing her son last. Let me know what you think!

OoooooHHHH BOY, Another BREADSWORD video. Better watch it before it gets taken down.

I wasn't aware that _The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou_ NEEDED someone to make an "argument for" it. I was under the impression that it was universally considered to be an all around classic of cinema and one of Wes Anderson's absolute BEST - quite possibly his BEST EVER. _PERIOD._ Even if it got shit from critics when it first came out, it has been vindicated since coming out by basically EVERYBODY. Including most of, maybe even ALL of, the people who shat on it when it first came out...

Your videos are AMAZING!!! Super well editing skills, outstanding visuals, and top of the line literary breakdowns!! I can't wait for your next video however long it takes

Recently found your videos and just finished watching all of them. Not only is your critique insightful and well thought out. But the presentation, with the video editing and the music, and your calming voice is spot on

The life aquatic will always be criminally underrated, one of my top 3 favorite movies to date

The aesthetics in your videos are BOOMIN’!

Best parts about this channel can be summed up by your voice and your choice of films/ shows you talk about. Never knew this film existed but I'll tell you what, I wanna watch it now.

aw yes another film that's good that i never watched, time to spoil myself

Please make more of these. I found your channel by accident and wow am I glad I did everything you put out is a true tour de forme of filmography. Your use of background music is majestic honestly keep it up, I love every single one of these videos.

Your works are incredible and it's a shame they don't get more attention. It's really awesome to be able to see your pure, unwavering passion for whatever it is you're talking about in these videos.

This is the best channel I've seen in a long time. Your videos are incredible, please keep up the good work!

I saw this film last night in preparation for this video, and i absolutely loved it. Maybe growing up by the sea make me a little biased, but everything is just so perfect. Music, sound, visuals, acting, everything. This video was like icing on the cake. Thank you for making great videos. Keep up the good work!

This movie deserves more love and I am so happy to see you giving it love in your video

Hands down my absolute favorite Wes Anderson film. It’s ridiculously funny and deeply moving at the end. Can’t top it.

Your video essays have become my favorite series to watch on KZfaq... I’m so glad you’re creating more content.

Man you write some of the best scripts..... and they just keep getting better.

I love you, buddy. You did a wonderful essay on one of my favorite films of all time.

Keep up the good work. You are killing it. Love what you have been doing with the score, the heavily reverberated music is a very creative touch.

Always enjoy your video essays, keep 'em comin'!

OH MAN this was so GOOD. i love all your videos holy shit

Your content never fails to be incredibly enjoyable and exploring these topics with you always draws me in. Awesome work. Looking forward to the future Satoshi Kon vids.

Wes Anderson for me created the greatest prologue in film history with the first 10 or so minutes of Royal Tenenbaums, the most unexpected and beautifully emotional scene in history with the Jaguar Shark scene in Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou, "Do you think he remembers me" gets me every damn time. He's one of, if not the only directors where you can pull any screenshot from basically any of their films and you instantly know it is from a Wes Anderson film. Such a completely unique feel, aesthetic and mood. I've yet to see one of his films I didn't like. He is probably my favorite filmmaker ever. He is nearly unparalleled in soundtrack selections. And because of his films, I am now an appreciative of classical pieces like Claire De Lune and the Gymnopedeis, non English renditions of Bowie and have a deeper appreciation for artists I already enjoyed like The Faces, John Lennon, The Kinks, etc. His casting is beyond reproach. Is there a single casting choice that wasn't basically perfect? Actors I love have their best work with him, Murray, Hackman, Huston. Actors I was never particularly a fan of put in great performances like Ben Stilled and Gwyneth Paltrow. Every time I learn there's a new Wes Anderson film coming, I get a sense of joy and wonder at the thought of what weird little troupe of characters we will get to peek in at this time. Already said it, but damn. The guys got basically a perfect record.

I had headphones on and had to keep checking if there REALLY isnt any music playing in my room. So good, keep it up!

Maybe it’s just me, but the Buckaroo Bonzai ending was just a cherry on top of the sundae. Goldbloom got to strut again.

Your videos are so moving, well scripted, phenomenally produced, and incredibly genuine. Thank you for posting such great content, I always look forward to your next video.

I always get so hyped when I see a new video of yours

I feel like it's a sin I haven't watched this film yet, I really need to watch this film now

I'm so happy to see this because this is one of my favorite movies but it seems forgotten by everyone else

NO cap this is one of the best video essays i've ever seen don't stop.

That you for making these videos. They speak of an old nostalgia for people in their twenty or thirty something's, remembering nights as children looking out the windows of a car at night with the hum of a radio in the background and the tired expectation that maybe something fun might happen before bed, before inevitably passing out. It's the feeling of being at a slumber party wanting to stay up late, yet still sleeping despite that. It's old and friendly. And I miss it.

The amount of Animal work that went into this film is another great aspect. There are animals everywhere. The Pythons on resort island are huge, and Steve isn't even put out by the big green Python when he is right next to it, which is one of my favorite scenes. Steve is a lover of Animals not people. They never cause him the problems that people do (exept shark). And upon his demise into obscurity he finally learns to become less narcissistic and get along better with people. They spent hundreds of hours and many many many takes to get the animal scenes just right, and every part of the movie just right. Talented three leg got much sympathy from Steve right away, whereas his own son had to spend weeks just to get the truth about the letter only to die :-(

My favorite most comforting good vibe movies I ever seen ........watched it so much I lost count, ever since it came out up untill this day...

The finale with “Queen Bitch” always reminds me I watched a great film.

thanks dad

How could you hate this movie?? Its one of my favourite films of all time

Man, every time I watch this film again, I see new details and themes present. I feel like the viewing experience has a lot to do with where you are own in your own life and what's on your mind. In that way, it has something for everyone.

There is not alot in this world that makes me as happy but your channel does make me happy

I never thought I’d see a ‘SHINDERU’ joke with Steve Zissou. I am SO HAPPY to have seen a ‘SHINDERU’ joke with Steve Zissou. This is far from the best thing about this video but I feel like it’s a tragedy no one mentioned it.

I got to meet Iggy Pop because the dude lives near my hood and supports this little record store in downtown. I was so shocked at how kind and normal he was. I built him up to be this ruthless god but he seemed like a guy who'd knock on my door with a huge smile returning me my mail that the mailman accidentally put in his box. I met my hero, he did become a person that day.

This movie is definately on my top ten list of all time. It is as close to perfect as possible!

I don’t think Life Aquatic is Wes Anderson’s best film, but it’s certainly not his worst and it’s my favorite. Grand Budapest, Moonrise Kingdom, Darjeeling Limited, etc… are all great films, but Life Aquatic is the one I have watched the most by far.

This movie was actually my introduction to Wes Anderson and to this day it remains my favorite of his.

This is one of my all time favorite movies.

i like how the background music sounds. DEPTH

Please more videos. This channel gets my juices flowing.

I'm really happy you did a video on my favourite film of all time. Fantastic job :)

My fave Anderson film bar none. I saw it three times at the cinema. Twice on the same day. In my top three films of all time.

YES! so glad you of all people are covering this film.

My god I love the way you analise movies! This made my day! Thank you

Ned also acknowledges he should have been on watch. When they pirates break into his room and Steve says "you should be in watch by the way", Ned says "you're right".

I LOVE THIS SO VERY MUCH!! it's easily my favourite film and you've beautifully captured why. bless your heart now and forever breadsword

The effort you put into your videos makes them masterful

My friend and I make each of your videos an event; dessert, snacks, the whole shabang. Thanks for the good times.

In the first module of my marine biology undergrad degree, our lecturer gave us one piece of compulsory 'reading' - to watch the Life Aquatic.

I love your laugh!!! thank you so much! i look forward to your content

this is the best channel on youtube right now i am somewhat confident in saying quality editing, good audio, thoughtful commentary, jokesjokesjokes. likes almost every comment. its cool stuff nameless man with pseudonym of BREADSWORD keep doin it pls. soon to be a patron when the dough is a little riper.

Sigur Ros' Staralfur

Thank you O kind and mighty sword of bread

Thank you for this amazing content. I hope you can keep it up.

i love all your videos so much but i think the "nani!?" bit might have made this my favorite. I just want more smart talk and memes please

This is one of my favorite movies of all time.. It;s certainly a weird movie, but I don't know why it wasn't an instant classic.

Brilliant. I watch this film around once a month and you still provided a fresh take on things I’d never noticed before

I enjoyed your analysis of the electricity theme and its inversion in the end - new and thought provoking.
