A video essay on how Wes Anderson's directorial debut was made.

I love this film more than I should. I got a screener of it while I was working at a video store in Bryan, TX, attending Blinn and wondering why I had left Austin. To this day, I play the hell out of Love, and I'll choke up when I think of Anthony running to be with Inez. Best movie ever.

Still my favorite Wes Anderson film. I’m in the minority by saying this but I feel like as he came more into his own style wise as a director, the less I cared or paid attention to his films.

i was just saying this same thing to someone two days ago

@JasonBeam7 Ай бұрын

I agree. I prefer his earlier work.

As much as i love bottle rocket, i think overall it works 1000x better as a short film

@user-ys7kt7dd3o Ай бұрын

For me it seemed like it became a sort thing for actors to be in one of his films given the loaded casts which make it feel less genuine to me for some reason after a certain point. It’s become a parody of itself. There’s no mystery to his movies because I know that every character is going to be goofy/quirky/weird in varying degrees every time. Maybe the elaborate sets and costumes can keep people engaged without realizing it and yes I understand he has, very much so, his ‘own style’ but it again fades/ becomes tiring for me after Life Aquatic.

This and Rushmore are my 2 fav movies by Wes Anderson. I saw Bottle Rocket in the theatre when it came out, loved it so much, went back next week to watch it agin. Nice to hear these insights.

@David-mg1yj Ай бұрын

I'm genuinely surprised to hear that Bottle Rocket had a $5m budget. I've always loved it, but assumed it was produced at the same budget level as Napoleon Dynamite, Sex Lies and Videotape, Clerks and similar debut movies of that period.

Exactly what I was thinking. Staff leaving bc no pay? Where'd all the money go? Great film from a great director & team. I was glad to find this.

I want to offer some feedback. Everything you're saying is really insightful and well-researched, but you don't sound very confident saying it, which can be a little distracting because you clearly have a passion for filmmaking and editing. There are times where it feels like you're kind of mumbling, but I'm actually really interested in what you're saying but I'm finding it difficult to understand, and then also it felt like the video ends kinda abruptly. Another thing that really stood out to me though, was the video editing was excellent. The way you used the clips from scenes to represent what you're talking about, was really clever and felt like you put a lot of effort into making it work. Great video overall, I learned a lot.

@ryanlower7394 15 күн бұрын

I think this is good feedback, but wanted to offer an alternate take on your voiceover! Personally, I found it calming, relaxing, and easy to listen to. I often struggle with the over-articulated TikTok/youtube style narration that some viewers might feel lends a sense of confidence to the narrator. I find it forced, and obnoxious, and a little bit silly. I think my favorite series of video essays (which I’m sure you’re already familiar with) is Every Frame A Painting narrated by Tony Zhou. I think he has a very relaxed and natural way of speaking (like you!) but it he has a more practiced delivery that emphasizes his points, and lets more of his excitement and curiosity come through. However you move forward with future videos, I hope that you protect whatever it is that makes you passionate about it, and filter out any feedback (including mine!) that takes away from your excitement and interest. Ultimately, I think that’s what will keep you creating.

I find it a bit tone-deaf when people voice a video essay about random bs like they're an anchorman reporting a triple homicide, this was a nice alternative and fits the subject matter much better in my opinion.

@BelieveInUrself93 7 күн бұрын

@@ArduousNature That's fair. But I'd like to say that confidence here doesn't mean being loud or being someone else. I'm not advising to put on some type of affectation that is at odds with the material or out of character, I'm suggesting a bit more of a clearer reading of the (very well-written) script is all.

Great video, but I think your audio could use some work. Some parts were louder than others. Easy fix could be using some compression on your audio. Keep up the good work tho 👏

i saw reservoir dogs and bottle rocket back to back in 1997. they are not from the same year, but that's how it happened to me. and i remember saying: ha! same theme, very different perspective. i wonder what these two young directors would do if they got the exact same script? i am sure people would even notice that they worked from the same basic material. i enjoy anderson's work, but my favorite one is still rushmore.

In the "making of" documentary, they show several more cut scenes that weren't included on the Criterion deleted scene list. Plus imb described cut scenes that weren't mentioned at all in either the doc, so who knows how much was cut from this movie

Thanks to James Brooks and Columbia I guess for their patience with these guys. Bottle Rocket and the career of Anderson and the Wilsons all came out of this.

That's because of your lack of comfortability with your own feelings... creepy usually entails sexual behavior. Simply being nice to another man or boy is just that, being nice or mentoring.
