I love this film. One of my favourite films by Wes Anderson because I think it’s the most real he gets. In THAT bathroom scene, he breaks his over-the-topness and gets on a level with his audience, both. He grounds the story and emotion for the briefest moment and I think the suddenness of that is so impactful and for me personally, it’s a scene I resonate with a lot so... yeah. Great film!

Two thoughts I had watching this: 1. Anderson’s actors tend to underplay their performance which acts as a nice balance to his outlandish style. 2. Wes Anderson’s career trajectory is the opposite of PT Anderson. While PT has grown more subtle in his style with each film, Wes leans into his more and more.

In addition to the part about the rose colored glasses in the suicide scene I mentioned in another comment, my other favorite visual detail is Etheline (Angelica Huston). She starts off the movie wearing white to be neutral, and then begins wearing blue, which matches Danny Glover's character, to show their bond. As she slowly reconnects with Royal, she starts appearing in pink, up until the fake cancer scene and the confrontation with Royal about if he's really dying, then she switches back to blue. (In the opening montage she is wearing pink as well)

Bottle Rocket (his first film. Also there is a shrt film of this) You can see the begginings of hiss style in this film. Its not polished but highly underated. Also co written by Owen Wilson. My personal fav, Rushmore With Bill Murray and Jason Schwartzman. This film is amazing. Also the Indian old man in this film was in Wes' first four films (i believe) he owned a jewelery shop i think that Wes used to frequent and wes put him in Bottle Rocket, Tenenbaums and Rushmore. I think he has passed now but loved seeing him in Wes films

@kevinsommerfield21 Жыл бұрын

This movie has been called a love letter to JD Salinger, and it really is. The Tenenbaums are a (sort of) modernized version of the Glass family from several of Salinger's books. The Glass family were a family of precocious children living in New York who all starred on a radio quiz show called It's a Wise Child. Later, like in this movie, they had various problems but were always very close. Check out Franny and Zooey; Seymour, an Introduction; or Raise High the Roofbeam, Carpenters if you get the chance. Thanks for the reaction!

Like all of his films, this is one that I would describe--almost specific to his oeuvre--as charming. But it also has more real-world emotional consequence to the characters than any other, IMO. Chas and the death of his wife, the suicide attempt, Margo's distance by (reminded) adoption, Eli's need for approval and acceptance, Royal finally figuring out what's important in terms of what can be banked, and the humor and tenderness with which all of it is handled. I agree with you that in this sense, it seems his most mature, or adult, of what I've seen so far. Great film.

Wes Anderson's style became more formalist and rigid as time went on. This was his 3rd film so he still relied on organic and found elements to tell his stories. But with MOONRISE KINGDOM he started making his films much more artificial and stylized dioramas of the world. GRAND BUDAPEST was the the solidification of this and he's gone all in on it. I find it stifling myself, but it's still interesting.
