    Asteroid City is so complex because of the two stories written over one another. The play Asteroid City and the writing and the performing of the play. Both are two different stories and to get it you have to watch it twice to follow each one through.

    I enjoyed the film. Has me still thinking about it, which I can’t say about most films I’ve seen recently. Wes’s films(if you like his style which you already know if you do or don’t) are always a treat. If you’ve never seen one of his movies I’m not sure this is the best introduction as it felt very much like a reflection on his body of work.

    I've seen it 2x. I left liking it, but mostly for the esthetics. It doesn't seem to have a story (at least not that I can tell) and much of it seems unnecessarily odd, like the multiple microphone gag during Jeffrey Wright's characters speeches or the secret agent-looking guy whose in the background a lot. The onramp into nowhere and the list goes on and on. In the end, I didn't feel invested in any character as I have in his other movies. This one felt like an upchuck of various ideas and somewhat related threads. His other movies are much tighter.

    I just saw Asteroid City. All of Wes' films are beautiful to look at and have wonderful charm but this time I have to say, it was too much of a Wes Anderson film, if that makes sense? The double story was cool but the movie left me feeling empty, there was no overarching theme or take-away that I could grasp. I had no idea why the characters were the way they were and no insight into their true motivations. Every character's relationship was shallow and uninteresting and the movie had no resolution of any kind, on any front. It felt....and I hate to say this....extremely pretentious.

  • @enminghee2926

    Asteroid City actually proves that Wes Anderson loves modern Hollywood blockbusters and isn't an opposing force to them at all. He is homaging the childhoods of the men who invented them. In 1955 George Lucas was 11, Spielberg was 8 and Cameron was 1. The kids who sang about dancing spacemen will one day work at ILM.

    Imagine yourself standing on a train station platform, brimming with excitement. The air crackles with anticipation, for your LOVE is set to arrive with this very train. The announcement you've been yearning for finally echoes through the station, signaling the imminent arrival. Your heart quickens its pace, synchronized with the train's gradual approach, and you can't help but imagine the magical moment of finally setting eyes on your beloved. In your mind's eye, you see them waving, their voice filled with exhilaration as they declare, "Here I am!"
    The piercing blast of a horn pierces through your reverie, jerking you back to reality. The train surges forward, gliding along the tracks, and you strain to catch a glimpse of your LOVE through the windows. But alas, the multitude of passengers obstructs your view. They pass you by slowly, tantalizingly, until the train screeches to a stop with a resounding screech.
    Eagerly, you await the opening of the doors, hoping to catch a glimpse of your LOVE among the bustling crowd. People hurry off the train, their faces a blur of fleeting strangers. Your eyes dart in every direction, searching fervently for that familiar face, but the multitude proves overwhelming. In a flurry of movement, they stream past you, some heading towards the exit, while others embark on the train, obscuring your view further. Your excitement morphs into panic as you frantically scan the crowd, desperately wondering, "Where is my LOVE?" Perhaps, in the flurry of activity, you missed their arrival. Dread seizes you, threatening to overpower your senses.
    As if mocking your distress, an announcement crackles through the speakers, warning of the impending departure. Panic courses through your veins, intensifying with each passing moment. You cast a desperate glance toward the platform's exit, hoping against hope that your LOVE awaits you there. Alas, the doors begin to close, sealing your fate. The train sets in motion, receding into the distance, leaving you alone on the platform, abandoned without your beloved.
    Your heart sinks, the world around you shrinking into a void of desolation. LOVE, once within reach, slips away, and you're left to grapple with the ache of longing and the haunting absence that lingers in your soul.
    And so, you stand there, a solitary figure on the platform, the train's departure serving as a bittersweet reminder of love's ephemeral nature.....
    That's How I felt while watching the movie

It used to be simple but always apparent, such as zissou, but now it's like we need to have a movie about a magazine or it needs to be relayed thru 3 different narrators and aspect ratios. TLAWSZ and tennennaums were perfect. Interesting presentation of the premise while still being straight forward enough for one viewing but still always worth repeat viewings and new discoveries.
