The scene about his ability to see talent in people is awesome. As the narrator is talking about how he covets good writers you see him ask the waiter for advice and takes it because it's sound advice, it doesn't matter to him what one does, only their mind
Makes sense. The obituary is read here in the start of the film, and the movie ends with the writers beginning to write the obituary following the death of Arthur.
In case anyone was wondering what the long diagrammed sentence is... "They will fail to notice the torn ticket-stub for an unclaimed hat which sits alone on the upper shelf of a cloakroom in a bus depot on the outskirts of the work-a-day town where were apprehended Nickerson and his accomplices."
It took me a few watches to realize that "His epitaph will be taken from the shingle..." means that the editor's epitaph carved on his gravestone is "No Crying." Also: The editor says he's not killing anyone, when we as the audience know that he'll die before the issue's release. But given that the clerk notes that they can't afford the amount they're printing, it's likely that this last issue also bankrupted the magazine (which is fine, since his will stipulated that the presses would be liquefied, etc). So the editor and the magazine died together.
where can i find the details of the contents of the tray - in particular, the drink in the shot glass that looks like it has an oyster in it. I want to try this drink. I think it was the editors drink.
Absolutely brilliant film-making, but at no time did I have ANY what was going on. Exhausting, and far too worky to watch a second time in hopes of figuring out anything. How do you give a film 100% and 10% rotten tomatoes at the same time?
Exactly! NONE of his films have ANY REAL PLOT. NONE. Every line in all of his movies is spoken by the characters in a monotone voice like almost robotic and is just NOT funny. Everyone one I've seen by the end of the movie I really have zero idea what I just watched. Was it a comedy? No because it's not funny. Is it a Drama? No because there's nothing dramatic in his movies. Are they serious movies? No they're too stupid to be a serious movie. I will NEVER understand why ANYONE would actually like any of his movies. And don't say "well they're smart comedies" NO, they are NOT smart comedies. There is nothing smart about having quirky characters all dressed funny and all speaking in monotone voices. That is NOT smart, in fact if anything they are as far from a "smart" comedy as they could possibly be and if anything it'd be DUMB comedy Royal Tenenbaums is LITERALLY the WORST MOVIE IVE EVER SEEN and I'm a die hard movie fan. I'd kill myself before sitting through the brutal torture that the 2 hours of Royal Tenenbaums. Don't even get me started on The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou. I had ABSOLUTELY ZERO idea what I had just watched when the credits began to roll at end of the movie! I honestly can not even watch the whole trailer for French Dispatch because is literally that uninteresting and boring and none of it makes ANY SENSE AT ALL. It's just me thinking this ??? NO. Seth McFarlane is a ridiculously funny guy and also a very smart guy and is loved by many people and has brought us things like Family Guy, and many others. I love Family Guy. McFarlane does a mock trailer for a wes Anderson movie (he clearly doesn't find Andersons movies funny or good either) and I can hardly watch the full mock trailer because is so much like his movies and LOVE Family Guy! THAT'S how bad his movies really are. Some of these comments blows my mind. "Masterpiece" ?? "Wes Anderson might be my favorite director of all time" ?? "A great movie" Are you frigging serious right now??? Are these people mentally challenged?? Have any of these people actually ever even SEEN another movie besides Wes Anderson movies ??? Absolutely insane !!!!
Lot of viewers actually experienced the lack of connecting with the characters here but I think that gets subsided over the cinematography, camerawork and set pieces ( all works amazing in my book)
It very much felt like Anderson had several half-finished ideas and used the journal as a way to mix them together instead of making three standalone films

@@machiel5888 Here we go again lol. It's "smart comedy" and I'm just too stupid to understand it. 🤣 I already covered that. There is nothing "smart" about people acting quirky and dressed quirky and speaking every single line in the movie in a monotone voice. If anything It's dumb/stupid comedy and it's not artistic, funny, or even entertaining for that matter. I'm open minded to ALL movies and like all genres from Drama all the way to Horror movies. The other coment that was left was from an actual FAN of his movies and said that you have to take his bad movies with the good ones and that I should watch Rushmore. So MAYBE, JUST MMAAYYBBEEE I've only seen two of his movies that were not his best movies and am going to give the guy a THIRD chance and I'm going to watch Rushmore BUT if it's as bad as Royal Tenenbaums and Steve Zu Aquatic or whatever the he'll that movie was called (and I LOVE Bill Murray and even he couldn't save that mess of a story/script) then that's last chance he's getting.
People have different opinions, you just gotta accept it that people love it. I even have some movies that i hated but people loved it! So just you know, calm down and not write a whole parograft on how you hated wes anderson films? Sincerely, with love and care, - KAIREEL
I admit this film went over my head the first time I watched it, and I watched it again and read some opinions but ultimately it was just an “oh” to me. It’s quite pretty and entertaining in small snippets though but the sum wasn’t greater than all its parts

This song “Obituary” opens and closes the movie. Alexandre Desplat has won two oscars, one of which for Grand Budapest
Makes sense. The obituary is read here in the start of the film, and the movie ends with the writers beginning to write the obituary following the death of Arthur.
The song sounds SO MUCH like Bach's 'Air on the G string'!! I left this comment on Alexandre Desplat's video and he disabled the comments!

Without a doubt one of the most charming films ever made.
I don’t know why, but I always love watching this movie with my breakfast.
3:43, if you listen closely you can hear the word "Stenciled" is added in ADR.
you're right lol. nice catch
Masterpiece
watch how quickly the guy gets to different parts of the building while walking up the stairs on its side
That shot of the waiter making his way to the top floor of the building is one of my absolute favourites!
Wes Anderson has quickly become one of my favorite directors. Both living and dead.
4:36
Arthur: Don’t cry in my office.
The imaginary Gaullistes cigarettes, a nod to the real Gauloises and a nod to the political party Charles De Gaulle created. Double nod that.
A tribute to the dying media print publications.
I love this film so much ! Thanks !
where can i find the details of the contents of the tray - in particular, the drink in the shot glass that looks like it has an oyster in it. I want to try this drink. I think it was the editors drink.
@@fearisnatural9486 thank you :)
I would’ve loved to subscribe to the French Dispatch of the Liberty, Kansas Evening Sun.
This is very.... precise
0:19 the most satisfying thing I’ve ever seen on film.
what was the drink list? - what was the one with an oyster in it? - i want it.
@@kparker2430I’m not sure in all honesty haha, but I want it too
0:20 Wes Anderson: criticizing/justifying nepotism and elitism since 1996.
love it
🤙❤️🤟
Great 😊
Jacques Tati would have approved.
Why did he even fire the one guy? XD

I loved this intro, shame that the rest of the movie lacked a main performance and a narrative to hook me in, it didn't really work as an anthology.

Just awful. Anderson’s worst film.
it's not even that different style-wise from the grand budapest hotel
If only it had the beauty and character
