"... people are romanticising their lives by editing them like Wes Anderson and it’s honestly so creative and wholesome."

At least the music is appropriate.

I never saw a Wes Anderson movie but I get this. The Ukrainian refugee one seemed out of place, but the rest seemed clever.

Joe Smith म्हणाले...

Anderson is tiresome and pretentious.

As a designer I appreciate the way the shots are framed, but even that gets tiresome after a while.

One trick pony...

When I think of Wes Anderson, the word "twee" always comes to mind.

Jake म्हणाले...

Is it creative if it's really just derivative glop?

"... people are romanticising their lives"

Hey, let's check in with the woman assaulted by "youth" in Chicago last weekend, or with the survivors of the trans terror in Nashville, to see how they do it.

I watched that, and now my computer is infected with Chi-Com spy. Thanks.

Brilliant. This might actually get my wife to look at Tik Tok.

If I just saw her hands, I'd say a girl.

If I just saw her face, I say a woman.

If I just saw that I'd say: why is TikTok popular?

Like Wes' work, esp Mr Fox, but come on - center cut visuals - is anything easier to duplicate?

two words that DON'T come to my mind, in regards to TikTok

Delightful. Many of the complaints about Wes Anderson seem a bit weird to me. Certainly he has a signature style. So did Alfred Hitchcock, Howard Hawks, Preston Sturges, Buster Keaton, etc. etc. There's a whole theory with a French name about that. He's worked in all sorts of genres. What do The Life Aquatic and The Grand Budapest Hotel have in common? Some themes. A lot of style. Not much else. But if you're looking for "that Wes Anderson feeling", you're going to get it from a Wes Anderson movie. He's very reliable on that front. (Every new trailer for a Wes Anderson film seems like "Okay, I thought it was his previous movie, but no, this one is the most Wes Anderson thing ever".) At a Wes Anderson movie, you'll laugh a lot and sigh a little, feel enlightened and uplifted, and maybe a little sad. Or you'll run screaming from the theater. That's okay. Not all art is for everyone.

I bailed out of The Girl on the Train (2016) even though I like Emily Blunt. (The British "Whut?")

As with Sandra Bullock, there are films that fit and films that don't.

Fuddy Duddies of all parties and colors unite! TikTok must be banned, lest Wes Anderson propagate another generation of auter-directors. We dare not give him a Chinaman's chance of breeding successors.

Okay- made me look...

Nice idea. First one- train lady- wins hands down. Burgers kinda. The rest- no. Ukraine doesn't fit the genre- nice try at the co-opt but no...

rehajm म्हणाले...

...now off to disinfect my computer- tiktok germs, yes?

Looks like the railroad is losing money on that route.

MadisonMan म्हणाले...

I'm struck by the emptiness of the train. Yet people want trains.

"Anderson is tiresome and pretentious."

At least he does what he does. I mean, there's hundreds of schlocky "programmers" made every year than all look and feel the same. They're interchangeable thrillers or police procedurals. I find them much more tiresome.

And yes, there is an evolution to his style if you compare Bottle Rocket to Isle of Dogs.
