The Moment We Got Tired Of Wes Anderson
Вставка
- Опубліковано 2 чер 2024
- Wes Anderson is a director with very specific tastes. Starting out his films were unlike anything people had seen before. Movies like Bottle Rocket, Rushmore, The Royal Tenenbaums, and The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou put Wes Anderson on the map. But as time went on, his symmetrical framing, limited palate, and quirky characters all started to feel part of a formula. With each passing movie, the tropes got more intense, and it felt he was leaning more into being "Wes Anderson" than making quality films like he used to. It all came to a point during this specific moment when I personally started to get tired of Wes Anderson.

Grand Budapest Hotel is my favorite Anderson film
I live in a country the shape of a birthmark (Mexico).
Grand Budapest is one of my favorite movies ever made
That and Darjeeling Limited are my favorite. In my opinion Moonrise kingdom looks like it was made to pat the shoulders of the "losers".
Hey Arnold
@@mr_red13 you cant fight a crazy person
You say that, but right after Moonrise Kingdom, Anderson made The Grand Budapest Hotel. His best film and highest-grossing movie to date. So if anything, Anderson's appeal hasn't dimmed just yet.
Yeah I don't know what he's talking about, I think Grand Budapest is his best film, or at least my favorite.
@@akhjaanI loved all his films up until GBH. I could not even get through a single viewing of it.
I was thinking the same
@bltvd shut up, nobody asked
Agreed
Hollywood still needs old-school auteurs like Anderson
To remind us that cinema isn't always about franchises
agreed! i wish there were ten times the amount we have
OMG. Every other damn movie seems like its just a trailer for another movie.
He does movies based on IP too
He’s not exactly a bastion of original ideas
Wes Anderson is a franchise.
Feels like you need to retitle this to The Moment “I” Got Tired of Wes Anderson.
Yeah, I'm not even close to being tired yet. It's so unique, and there's still no other director like him.
Yea, i mean, guy's got to clickbait to pull in the viewers to appease the algorithm in order to make some bucks, which will eventually fill his proverbial belly soo... yea idk what more to expect from this glib "review" masquerading his personal opinion....
I guess this leaves me no choice but to unsubscribe because of a deviation from sincerity which goes against my own personal preference, maybe one day i might go in to make a video titled "the day WE got tired of nerdstalgic"...
I concur. If it makes sense he feels like if The Decembrists directed films, and I'm not just saying that because of the loving "Rushmore" pastiche that was the "Sixteen Military Wives" music video. Every detail of his movies feels so handmade in a way that's hard to get these days outside of the rare stop motion or hand drawn animated pieces we get once in a year of Sundays. He feels like one of the few big name, theater filling directors left who is making the movies he wants to make instead of the movies that are next on the production schedule of this or that cinematic universe.
@@QAnon-zn1xe Yeah, if he would have titled this something like “Why this run of 3 Wes Anderson films is his best…” it would have made more sense.
Feels weird to say we’re all sick of him when he’s had his best critical and cultural success post-MK
I'm burned out on him for sure. The French Dispatch really left me feeling underwhelmed.
Art is awfully subjective, but Isle of Dogs, and The Fantastic Mr. Fox are both figureheads of contemporary stop motion animation. The Royal Tennenbaums and Life Aquatic can be considered cult classics at the very least, and The Grand Budapest Hotel is in my opinion his best film, if not one of the best films of the last decade.
Wes is certainly eclectic, but I would hesitate to be dismissive of such an original storyteller willing to push the boundaries of filmmaking, even if he does come off as pretentious
I guess the question is, is he still "pushing boundaries" if every movie is just another iteration on his existing style?
I love Wes Anderson, and I agree he is an incredible original storyteller, but idk if i would call it boundary pushing anymore
I actually didn't care much for Wes' work until I watched Moonrise Kingdom, I love that movie, it's one of my all time favorites and helped me appreciate his previous movies more.
same here.
I highly, highly disagree here. I feel like Life Aquatic and Darjeeling both were slightly drags. Great movies, but not up to snuff. I think Fantastic Mr. Fox and Moonrise Kingdom were both renaissances in a way, the ramp up before Grand Budapest.
Moonrise Kingdom is an amazing movie in my opinion, and I’ll never really get tired of his style. Even the movies I like less (like Darjeeling and Life Aquatic) I still enjoy watching.
Dajeerling and life aquatic are my 2 favorite of all of the WA movies, most people's least favorite movies.
My top 3:
Royal Tenebaums
Grand Budapest Hotel
Life Aquatic
@@sk3d123 Darjeeling is far better than Moonrise kingdom.

We? Who’s we?
There is no we, Jesse
Me and the creator of this video.
s Anderson
I very quickly scrolled down to the comments as I got to the "turning point" of the video to find myself greeted with many people also saying "huh, I loved Moonrise and his later films, this sounds like a you problem." and felt relieved. I really enjoy Nerdstalgic videos and usually I don't find them too pretentious or "film students understands films better than you do and explains why you should like/dislike this film", but this video really hit in the other direction. We're all entitled to our opinions and this channel is yours to post and explore topics as your team wishes, but your videos are better when you let the research and analysis speak to the audience. Thanks for all the great videos though!
Is this the moment we got tired of Nerdstalgic?
(I'm kidding of course, I'm going to keep watching, but the parallel was too sweet)
Why would you feel relieved?
@@xVancha It immediately rang as a bad take in my opinion, and I felt a bit shocked wondering do most other film lovers feel the same way as the Nerdstalgic crew. But I saw many highly rated comments to the contrary and felt that I'm not alone in feeling the exact opposite to the sentiment of the video.
Nerdstalgic is very pretentious and movie critic-focused. It's a good channel I think. The analysis is interesting. But I disagree with a LOT of the opinions on this channel.
@@short-round to be honest I’m bored of Anderson. Feel like he’s all style no substance. Sort of like Tim Burton
And moonrise kingdom just feels…. The same
Now that’s not necessarily bad many people are enamored with the style, but for myself it’s like eating the same meal every day for a month doesn’t matter how much I love it I’m likely bored of it by the end of the
Edit: I should say I really enjoy Bottle Rocket it has touches of the elements but doesn’t overwhelm the film
Like Big Eyes for Tim Burton
I'm not tired of his films, they are a nice break from the usual franchise and sequel films we get non-stop in theaters and streaming.
Is The Grand Budapest Hotel a joke?🤔
Okay I finished watching it and actually agree with some of the points you're making. I feel like if you titled "the moment I got tired of wes anderson" I would get it right away. It would've rhymed in the same way you broke tradition in offering your own opinion in this video. Anyways great video!
@@sanjirou Right, this feels more like a bit of personal journaling than anything resembling objective critique. Nothing wrong with that, but it's not really about the film at all, it's all about the critic's experience.
YeahI agree with the vast majority od comenters. Change the Title to “I” and the video remains relevant and adequate.
It is one of my two favourites of his and he still has a LOT of juice left!
.... You DIDN'T like Moonrise Kingdom? It's a goddamn MASTERPIECE.
He's trying to get that slander clout.
literally my favorite one and his second best. Also, Asteroid City was a masterpiece. if anything, Wes just keeps getting better. His Netflix short films were all wonderful as well.
nah, not even close.
LOL, also one of my fav Anderson movies.
@@liampughwhich Netflix films of his would you recommend? I haven’t seen any of his work other than The Grand Budapest Hotel
Who is “we?”
You, me, everyone else in this comment section
@@edmontonboy99 I love Wes Anderson. I recognize that not all his stories are top notch, but his style is usually enough for me to come away saying the movie is at least “good.” I think his only great movies are Grand Budapest Hotel, Isle of Dogs, and Fantastic Mr. Fox
We who matter, you Brandon do not.
Me
@@brandonhicks9926 I didn’t say anything bad about Wes Anderson’s work. I only answered the question of “who’s we?” as a joke.
YOU don’t speak for us. We need more movies and directors like Wes Anderson.
I think he specifies "We" as "we at Nerdstalgic." The royal "we." But in my opinion, if you're going to get this personal with your views, you should let yourself be an "I."
To be honest, as someone who still loves Anderson films, you definitely hit the nail on the head with this one. His post-Moonrise Kingdom films are definitely still fantastic, and honestly Asteroid City is probably my second-favorite of his films. But it comes second for me to Darjeeling Limited. That one is my absolute favorite because I feel like it was his most raw (given his already established style).
Bottlerocket was raw because it was Anderson literally figuring himself out. “Life Aquatic” was a beautiful mess, but still pretty much Anderson showing off his Andersonness.
Darjeeling Limited, on the other hand, felt like a genuine road-film with just the touches that Anderson could add to tell you this was his.
Everything from Moonrise onward was pure Anderson writ large. There’s nothing wrong with that. His style is wonderful to the senses, but there’s no chance really that he’ll ever go back to emotion-over-style given the expectations.
I’m always excited for another Anderson film, but I kinda always know what I’m going to expect now.
Wes Anderson's films have only gotten better as time goes on for me. Never got tired of him, I don't see it happening anytime soon. His movies are just so visually appealing, I can't imagine getting bored of that style.
Who’s we??
me
Maybe he's saying yes in french.

I’m sorry Moonrise Kingdom is my Sh*t. But I understand what you’re saying. It’s too much of his style in one instead of minor things here and there. Kinda like family guy you don’t wanna see a full episode of flashbacks. Dope video.
Everyone gets sick of the Wes Anderson shtick at some point. There are dozens of videos about it. For me, it usually happens somewhere in the middle of each new film, before I get to the end and fall in love with his work all over again.
The darjeen limited stuck with me ever since I saw :) I loooove his movies!
Nah, man. Nah. *YOU* got tired of Wes Anderson.
*looks at Asteroid City grossing $50 million and The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar winning an Oscar*
… nah, I don’t think we did, may have just been you
It's refreshing, you coming all up close and personal. Objective insight is great and necessary, but once you've established your worth, which you have done and then some, your opinion is much appreciated. In this case it invites me to dive into Wes Anderson some more, as I was never that passionate about him. More a Paul Thomas Anderson kinda guy.... But I always recognised him as a true original and found his work to have, if not revolutionary so, a welcome playful style that lends itself well to a certain line of storytelling. But I will have to see some more now, and that, to me, means that this is one of those worthy subscriptions on this internet...
I will NEVER get tired of Wes Anderson. I don't know (nor care) about what others think
Same here
Why are you watching this video and commenting then?
Same here. I absolutely don't know what they're talking about.
@@jamesmeow3039 because we want to see what the video is about and commenting because we domt agree lol
@@jamesmeow3039 I like Wes Anderson and this channel
The Grand Budapest Hotel used to be my favorite movie of his in the time after Darjeerling Ltd. (which held the №1 spot for me up to that point).
But then The French Dispatch happened.
And it took my breath away.
I watched it in the comfort of my own home, rather then cinema and I couldn't look away from the screen during the entirety of that film.
That being said, most of his other (later) work is "a bit (unneccessarily) much" for me aswell.
But man, when he gets it right, it's really something else.
I respect your opinion, and you obviously have a deeper insight into film making as a whole, it just seems to me, in my lowly, unknowledgeable opinion, that he (anderson) has found his own formula that works. I love it, every scene seems meticulously crafted, and that makes it so much more enjoyable. It's truly art, his art. Like you said, you either enjoy it or you dont. His style to me is absolutely awesome. I hope he continues to bring it, like you said, he's made a brand for himself, and its so much better than a lot of the junk on the screen nowadays. Im sorry I'm rambling, but I can't express how much I enjoy his work. I also love the work you do! Keep it up
Hi. Great video! I actually hated Royal tenenbaums when I first saw it after loving bottle tocket and Rushmore. It was Moonrise kingdom (which I really enjoyed) that made me go back and watch Life Aquatic and darjeeling limited, which are now two of my favorite films.
Yet, I think that Grand Budapest Hotel is my favorite of his work and is doing some really cool things that were, at the time, different and risky compared to what came before. It was his most artificial looking movie, but I think that pairs with his best attempt at genuine human tragedy to date. The last scene on the train is still haunting, for example.
And Henry Sugar AND Astroid city have such unique and vivid framing devices and quirks that I feel allows each to have it's own distinct, yet related flavor.
I like this type of director study video. I’d love to see ones like it for PTA, Cohen Bros, Tarantino and Nolan.
I'll watch Wes Anderson Movies (old or new) till the day that I die.
I'm sorry you got "tired" of Wes's movies and I hope you can regain the love for his films.
Heh. I rank Darjeeling and Life Aquatic at the bottom of the Wes Anderson's pile, and Moonrise Kingdom near the top. They're all good though.
As much as I love Wes Anderson, his style is both his biggest strength, and his Achille's heel. It's great in terms of establishment a unique visual feel, but his characters are quickly becoming quirky caricatures rather than actual characters. That being said, I still appreciate his willingness to be himself in an industry filled with unoriginality.
I run into this same criticism every time I sing the praises of Christopher Nolan. His characters are even less actual characters, and don't even have quirks to fill in the gap. But that's not the point of those movies. I think we can be a little too dogmatic about what we think a movie character should be, and how they should tell stories. Anderson isn't doing character pieces. Which to me is fine, since there's plenty of character-driven media out there, and not nearly enough of whatever the hell it is Anderson is doing.
...We got tired of Wes Anderson? I haven't heard literally a single person signal this lmao. Asteroid City like just came out and was universally loved, and his current Netflix short films are also being received incredibly well. What are you talking about lmao? Also, Grand Budapest Hotel was arguably his biggest film and came out two years after Moonrise Kingdom. If anything I'm getting the vibe that Wes Anderson is bigger than ever and people are hungrier than ever for his work, given the state of contemporary blockbusters.
I'd politely suggest looking at the other comments on this video. Some people are tired. :)
@@Nerdstalgic I'm seeing a lot of "Those ANNOYING Wes Anderson film studies ruined it for me! !! ! ! >:(", which is an opinion I really struggle to take seriously. If the fandom of something being slightly annoying on the internet or in film school ruins a piece of media for you, that's a really reactionary and unserious take.
@@Nerdstalgic I see a lot of people disagreeing with you, and a couple who never liked his work to begin with.
I think this is a rare nerdstalgic L
As much as I love his style, neither Moonrise Kingdom nor Asteroid City held up for me. I do agree that no one seems tired of Wes either way, though.
@@Nerdstalgic who? I don't even like Anderson's films that much, I never have, but even I can see that this is FAR from the majority view.
Either stick to the objective research and analysis, or present your views as a personal view up front in the title. This video's title implies objectivity (or at least a majority view) and then it's just your personal opinion.
Haha, Moonrise Kingdom is the only Wes Anderson movie I enjoyed
Its the best. But am stupid.
I loved hearing about your personal life, Nerdstalgic guy!
Who is "we" exactly? You have a very bad tendency of applying your opinion as an objective fact. I haven't gotten tired of Wes Anderson and plenty of others would agree so does your opinion invalidate theirs for some reason?
Nope. Not at all. Everyone is entitled to their opinion. But it's almost like the titles are meant to stir engagement ;)
He said "we" not "you", you dunce. You weren't meant to be included.
@@Nerdstalgic I don't know if making people angry and making them not want to watch your videos anymore is a positive thing.
Also, admitting that you'd rather draw people in with a misleading title than with genuine interest in your opinion, really doesn't make you more likable
@@NerdstalgicUnsubbing for now. Maybe you’ll make your Grand Budapest upload next.
@@Nerdstalgic purposely missleading UA-cam titles used to annoy me too... until i relized how much more likely i was to see them when they had divisive, somtimes even misleading tags. Its not fault he has to play the algorithm to get veiws. This is litterly a "dont hate the player, hate the game" moment
Well, guess I’ll be doing a viewing party of all Wes Anderson through the summer so I can check this for myself. I feel like I agree on most of your points, but I did enjoy Moonrise Kingdom. It felt like someone refining a particular style. The most recent ones seem to be going a bit overboard. However, as you pointed out at the end, it is a refreshing change of pace to what’s usually available.
Maybe it's because I haven't seen every film he's made, but I loved Moonrise Kingdom as soon as I watched it. Big fan of 2 or 3 of his other films, too.
My first Wes Anderson was a library rental of Fantastic Mr Fox in high school and he has been one of my favorite directors ever since. Im here for the overly wes anderson-ness of his movies.
I'd daresay Wes Anderson peaked at Grand Budapest Hotel, beginning to lose the sauce with Isle of Dogs while retaining some of the charm from his older movies, however, you could make an argument out of The French Dispatch & Asteroid City since they feel so emotionally sterile compared to the ultimately heartfelt resolutions in his supposedly lesser films like Moonrise Kingdom, Life Aquatic and Darjeeling Limited.
Asteroid City is not my favorite Wes film, but I agree he is becoming a global brand. I think directors choice do change with the times but I also think they change based on where they are in life. The more famous a person becomes the less relatable they seem to the public. I think Wes is just exploring his art, but I do miss the more profound and heartfelt movies like The Darjeeling Limited. I will praise him for his creativity and originality. In world of CGI its nice to a poo of color once in a while 😊
I honestly thought, from the title, that this was going to be about The French Dispatch. I honestly thought that movie was a flop. But Moonrise Kingdom?? I am honestly shocked that you didn't like it. I loved it.
This movie is so charming, i truly disagree with you here.
I’m going to be the odd one out and say I agree with you. Tenenbaums and Zissou are comfort films for me, but I really didn’t love Moonrise Kingdom. I did enjoy The Grand Budapest Hotel, but after that, my once fanatical admiration of Anderson’s films started to fade.
I'm still not tired of his movies.
Fantastic mr fox is my absolute favorite
Budapest hotel is amazing
And moonrise kingdom is a close third 👌
I don't agree with you, but I'm here for your opinion: loved the argument you made and it is something to think about.
I should watch them all to form a more correct opinion, but from what I've seen I don't really agree.
I can see your point of view, but at the end of the day I think Wes Anderson's fans like his movies particularly because of their style and their characters which I don't think have changed or will change.
Sure it would maybe get repetetive if it would be always the same story but the story changes.
I'm curious, if you could change everything you'd like in his next film what would you change? I mean what would get you to like his movies again and not feel bored?
great video as always
I wholeheartedly agree Moonrise felt like a parody of his prior more superior work like The Royal Tennenbaums
Just a thought...maybe its because Anderson's films have become for a lack of a better word...more mainstream than when he first started out. Yes no one is doing or could do what he does, but he's now a household name so to speak...I would argue the same thing happened with Quentin Tarantino after Jackie Brown or Inglourious Basterds, or Christopher Nolan after Inception,...people feel the directors are taking less swings than before and have safely ensconced themselves in the safety of the styles than made them popular.
Personally, I'm still excited whenever any of these directors release a film so I don't think its us getting tired of them, but rather just wishing they'd make films that have us going "whoa, never seen anything like that before" like when they started
Moonrise Kingdom was my first experience with him, so I had no day to form the same opinion. I enjoy his films for the most part, but their characters lack of emotion sometimes makes it hard to care about them
I felt the same thing about Terrence Malick
"The Tree of Life" took my breath away
But then I watched "The Thin Red Line" and immediately got tired of his style
Malick is a really interesting filmmaker because his quality varies SO wildly
@@Nerdstalgic It really didn't feel like that
Plus, they run for way too long
Man... I forgot about Tree of the Life. I took a girl on a date to see that movie and wish I would've done literally anything else. I felt so bad because I had heard such good things about it, but we were bored to TEARS 😅 I get some people like that style, but it definitely ain't for me.
Completely agree, feels like i took shrooms again and can only notice the aesthetic scenes and not the story. For me it was asteroid city that made the glass ceiling shatter and couldn’t finish watching without it feeling too repetitive in the way you explained so well. Yes it’s a break from other movie styles but he really is leaning into it every time.
Wes Anderson is my creator I go to when I want to see creativity at its absolute craziest as we all need that crazy
I've actually only watched 1 of his films. Life Aquatic. The others just didn't jump out as a film I needed to watch. Will probably force myself to sit down and check them out eventually.
To this day my favourite (and first) Wes Anderson film is "Royal Tenenbaum". Wes did kinda became a parody of himself, but also - those movies are great, the overstylization works, because it's so him. He owns this style. This blend of Movie-Theatre and Stop Motion animation. The movie we watch is fake, but the story and characters feel real. I don't like everything - from the old ones I never embraced "Darjeeling Limited" and with the new ones "Isle of Dogs" and "French Dispatch" were just okay in my books. But "Asteroid City" and the Netflix shorts were wonderful. So I am here to stay and waiting for more of Wes.
Check out the second season of The Afterparty for an episode parodying Wes Anderson's style. It almost feels like a straight adaptation because his style has become almost a parody of itself
I'm glad to see such an outcry in the comments here. He's a one-of-a-kind director with a one-of-a-kind style. It's beautiful and timeless.
I quite enjoy Anderson, too. I think Darjeeling was one of the first of his I saw. I do think he's gotten comfortable in his own style, but I don't mind that so much. Having said that, I don't think I've seen any of his films since Budapest, lol. Thank you for another interesting video.
God be with you out there, everybody. ✝️ :)
I think I was in my late teens-early 20 when I first saw Royal Tenenbaums, I liked/hated the movie. I wasn't aware of who Wes Anderson was, until I saw Moonrise Kingdom for the first time in 2013. It's my fave of his movies so far. I think I saw The life of the Aquatic with Steve Zuzu 2 or 3 years later. I remember liking it, but I don't remember what happened. I gotta watch it again sometime
i really liked asteroid city. i don't remember much about his other films tbh
Moonrise Kingdom, a beloved and unique movie that is probably a lot of fans favourite Wes Anderson movie. That's the one you hang your disappointment on? Tenenbaums, Moonrise and Budapest are the pinnacle of his live action films. Personally I couldn't get even a quarter of the way through Asteroid City.
Same! Asteroid City was quite a disappointment. I loved The French dispatch way more than I expected. It's my second favourite Anderson film now, after Grand Budapest which will always be my no. 1. Anderson film and one of my favourite films over all.
Funny, I was in art college (SCAD) the same time. No wonder I enjoy your videos.
So I'm a little tired of Wes too, but not at the point you were. I didn't really like French Dispatch and I had to turn off Asteroid City. My question, can you explain more why you dislike the climax of Moonrise Kingdom. It sounded like the fantasy of that shot turned you off, but the movie had fantasy shots throughout it. Like what about the shot of the tree house?
I like original, unique movies, so clearly Anderson’s work intrigues and amuses me. But that said, they don’t have me rushing to the movie theater. I also put Wes Anderson in the same category as Tim Burton, he has a very specific style, that usually works, but his films (to me) to have themes without any deeper meaning or coherent subtext.
Agreed. I said the exact same thing when I saw Moonrise Kingdom. It felt like a parody of a Wes Anderson film. Personally, I think Rushmore is his best film.
I love his movies & his vision but I do wish he’d take some more risks
As a Wes fan I agree with your take and I'm glad someone said it. People are being mad about it, but I also wasn't a big fan of Moonrise Kingdom.
For me, Isle of Dogs was the first of Wes's works that I really didn't connect with. The French Dispatch and Asteroid City aren't bad, but I do think he's basically painted himself into a corner at this point. Rushmore is my personal favorite, as it has Wes's distinct stye, but isn't bogged down by a large ensemble. I also found his recent shorts to be a collective breath of fresh air, so I'm interested to see if he can essentially revive his own brand with The Phoenician Scheme.
P.S.: you used footage form the short film Bottle Rocket (1992) and not the 1996 film.
While I do remember enjoying moon kingdom, I don’t remember much from it and I was only watching Anderson films back then when I remembered to rent them on dvd. While at the same time hotel brought me to the theatre for the first Wes film and has kept me coming back since as I know what I’m in for, a good time. I will say, asteroid city had many Wes troupes but at the same time mixed up his storytelling process in order to explain a mixed up storytelling process. Haha, made myself laugh with that description.
I'd love to see you make a movie coving the Coen brothers movies
This was very interesting because Moonrise Kingdom was the first Wes Anderson movie I ever saw. And I think for many, they have not seen most of his films before it, Grand Budapest Hotel being probably his most popular. So for many I think the magic hasn't become as tiring or parody like. If I had been following him the same way you had, I think I would have come to the same perspective that you have now.
Who is this "WE" you speak of in the title?
I agree with you, asteroid City seems like a parody of himself, but still is a very fun and engaging experience. For me his Best work is Mr Fox
its kinda interesting to chart the course of the films. but i wish the later ones had more emotion in them
Anderson's humor is right up my alley, its just so charming
moonrise kingdom was the first wes anderson film I saw and I still think my favorite ive ever seen him make. grand budapest is basically tied, but ever since I have never seen a film before or after those two that were as good from his career
One of the weirdest essays I watched on UA-cam. Not only Nerdstalgic channel, but the whole of UA-cam.
You see, I found it interesting but I never really "got" Wes Anderson until this movie. "Moonrise Kingdom" is a work of art and made me appreciate the genius of Wes Anderson. After that I saw all of his movies with other mindset and made me want to re-watch "Life Aquatic" and "Rushmore", which I found really boring and unappealing at the time I saw them.
Who the hell got tired of Wes Anderson?? I loved Asteroid City and the short film he made with Ben Kingsley and Benedict Cumberbatch
I am on the journey of Wes Anderson's continuous storytelling and evolving style. I love his older films as well as his bold new films. I think I am more curious to watch an artist's journey in understanding his own art and how he continues to develop as he gets older. His films should never remain the same and that is exciting even if a current film may not work as well for some people. I mean how many Hollywood filmmakers get that opportunity to grow and develop their own sensibility throughout their carrier. It should be a celebration. A lot of this is actually expressed in The French Dispatch.
I've seen Fantastic Mr. Fox and yeah, I love how Wes Anderson's look was stylish and very dimensional, like how the house was shot in like a 3D cutout, and when I saw parts of Moonrise Kingdom i get it Wes Anderson is a good director.
I, controversially it appears, totally agree with you!
Also...People are acting like you didn't *overtly* state that you were veering from script to state your personal opinion this video. I'd be so annoyed, lol. But I guess it's what comes with the territory.
So watched all of his original films for the first time over the course of about a year in roughly 2017 and while I enjoyed them all, Moonrise Kingdom was the first one I loved and I though Grand Budapest Hotel was a master work. I haven’t seen any after that and have sensed that they have begun to decline. I also think that there is more depth to what you call his best three than I probably gathered on my first viewing.
Paddington 2 is the best Wes Anderson movie of the last 20 years
Grand Budapest is SO good tho... But Rushmore will always be my favorite
I agree that Tenenbaums, Life Aquatic and Darjeeling are the best, but I would also put Grand Budapest Hotel on that list. And I hated his early work, tried to watch Bottle Rocket but couldn't get through it and I've always hated Rushmore. Isle of Dogs was also great, I'm a huge fan of stop motion and I'm so happy a few filmmakers like Wes Anderson are keeping that style of animation alive.
Moonrise kingdom was my favorite when i was younger. As im older now it can make me feel kind of uncomfortable but i still love it
I get the sentiment, it almost feels like flanderization
I feel like the Hannah episode of The After Party really encapsulates the Wes Anderson style in fresh light.
100% of his movies A+
Who's "we"
I tried to watch Asteroid City but it was so immediately into it. Two characters just delivering exposition lines about their dad or whatever and the whole time you can tell they're just barely keeping a straight face. Kind of amazed Anderson has gotten away with being the least adventurous director of our age. Yorgos surpassed him almost instantly with each movie being so distinctly creative and interesting and not just an exercise in branding.
You're just flat wrong. Moonrise Kingdom was the first film where he dialed in on his craft. Pre-Moonrise, Anderson was still finding his voice and his style and it was a bit raw around the edges, sure, but it his essence was always there. I do agree Tenenbaums, Budapest, and Aquatic are the best because they're not SO dialed in as his later works. What makes them great is the fact that we're seeing a polished director who is not afraid of making exactly the types of movies that he wants.
Who is “We”? You. It’s a you.
yeah, to me few of his later films was flops too but from all his movies The Grand Budapest Hotel is my favorite...
Moonrise Kingdom is just s sweet movie, man. WE LOVE IT.
Agree I adore French Dispatch! Other favorites are DU and GBH
Wow, it's the first time I hear about Wes Anderson and any of the movies mentioned. I am 23 btw.
The moment YOU got tired of Wes Anderson. Moonrise is hands down the movie I think is the most human of his.
I think Moonrise Kingdom (and The Grand Budapest Hotel) have the most mainstream appeal, so for an art student (Nerdstalgic) maybe that is why he does not like them?
I won't say I'm tired but his last movie I truly loved was The Grand Budapest Hotel. That being said, I'll watch anything Wes Anderson directs.
Still love Wes Anderson’s films
there's a lot to love!
I honestly feel like you need more thinkpieces with your own voice. Theres alot of UA-camrs who deliver the "straight from the facts" perception, and this is one of the more interesting videos because it dives away from that.
I never even knew Moonrise Kingdom existed till a few months ago. Yeah, there IS a certain sameness to Wes's films stylistically that grows a little old... I hate some of his films, love others... I absolutely despise Isle of Dogs... But, when I saw Asteroid City it was VERY clear I was watching a MASTER of his craft.
