This guy is a great interviewer, it's so funny because I feel like the majority of them have already prepared answers for typical questions, then they're thrown off. Great interview man.
I don't know if anybody agrees, but I got a bit of a "pathetic" vibe out of Scout Master Ward. He's a man nearing middle age who is entirely invested in these Boy Scouts, despite having no children in the program. I thought this side of him was really drive home when he told the other kids he was a math teacher, and then cut them off from all follow up questions. Because of this, though, he's insanely dedicated to the kids and the image of scout master. I loved how I could infer this much from his character, despite it never being directly addressed, and other people probably saw him in other ways.
Thanks for the great video and insights into the mind & films of Wes Anderson. Hey Jake, I'll add you to my media list for my own upcoming feature film. It's set top hit the film fest circuit by Spring of 2009. ...whoops, looks like we're running a bit behind on the shoot/edit schedule. Well, I will let you know when it;s ready! H.M.
this interviewer isn't very good at all, yes he asks unique questions but they have nothing to do with the movie and the actors and director seem confused. he asks random questions and they try to answer them and relate it to the movie somehow and it just seems awkward
its because its hard as fuck to define anything about his films. I have listened to the commentary on his movies and the interviews he gives about his films and they are all pretty awkward. he complains for having to intellectualize the decisions he makes and the "whys" to his movies because he does it more or less subconsciously. for instance someone might ask him why he chose to use this song or selected that wardrobe and he struggles to give some interesting answer but he continually says when NOT asked in commentary "because i thought it was funny" or "because i liked the way it looked" etc. there is a reason he likes the things but more often than not, he doesn't even know why he chose the things he does. but at least he's cool enough to attempt to answer unlike david lynch and some of the other obscure directors of the class that refuse to elaborate on their work.
As much as I love his movies, I hate listening to Anderson talk about them. He's either the most inarticulate director, or is literally just lucky that all the pieces somehow work together so often.

Wes is so nervous while interviewed. It's adorable.

There's nothing pathetic about wanting to change the lives of kids in a positive way :)
I'd like to see (and love to see) Was Anderson version of Tin Tin! He would be the right director!
Aw so cute. Is it me or Wes Anderson talks a lot like the Wilson family?
10:00
"That's a funny question"
Ed right there nailed exactly why Jake is so great. He asks the questions no one else would think to ask.
Wes Anderson did the movie Rushmore at my high school.
I fucking love Wes Anderson. He is the coolest man EVER.
At 1:19 when he said "som kind of uh strange mixture." He did the thing with his hands the "different" thing from fantastic mr fox
Really good questions. Nice to see and they all obviously appreciated it too. Well done!
hey those kids were being interviewed on green screen!
Jake undeniably has the best job in the world. His success is not through luck but instead being the best at what he does.
Really interesting and unique questions in this; it's refreshing to hear some well thought-out interviews!
Edward Norton always looks a little sleepy and grumpy. At all times :D
Same. I love his work. That's an amazing movie as well.
haha i know! I was just thinking he looks a bit like Mr. Fox :)
This guy asks really good and pointed questions. Great job
REPPIN HOUSTON!!! LONG LIVE TEXAS! Seriously great interview with some great talent!
I wanna got to Cannes!!!!
Thanks for the great video and insights into the mind & films of Wes Anderson.
Hey Jake,
I'll add you to my media list for my own upcoming feature film. It's set top hit the film fest circuit by Spring of 2009. ...whoops, looks like we're running a bit behind on the shoot/edit schedule. Well, I will let you know when it;s ready!
H.M.
Dude you're at Cannes! Congrats!
U r at the Canne Film Festival?!! envy u! btw great interview as usual haha
Wes loves that jacket.
gr8 questions
Jason seems so awesome.
Well, it's been almost two years since they started filming, and one year since they finished.
seriously. This guy asks really great questions.
Same! Which piece of work?
"i don't wanna talk to people." i feel you, jason.
@apleseed91 Wes Anderson and the Wilson brothers are both from Texas. They met each other at the University of Texas in Austin.
I think he reminds me of President Muffley from Dr. Strangelove. Such a great character.
I love Wes Anderson movies.
Why didn't you mentioned QT
actually, the suit of fantastic mr. fox was made of the same material and in the same shape as one of wes's suits :D
@jakethemovieguy Well done, Jake! I look forward to the new questions in each interview. =)
It almost seemed like you stumped everyone with the great questions.
right back at you
I wonder, has anyone ever taken him up on his foldout couch offer?
this was some yrs ago so if i did i don't remember. why he had something to do with the movie?
i know right! i love it :3
Lol I didn't expect the kid's voice XD
I want wes
My thoughts exactly
i hope wes anderson makes a war movie soon
That's what makes him adorable.
wes anderson should work with jon hamm :)
this movie was fucking beautiful!
0:12 how the hell do you mention Stanley Kubrick? his cinematography is instantly recognizable.
wes really reminds me of peter sellers for some reason.
for some reason i always thought he had an accent
8:37 Red Dragon
I was an extra in this
HOLY PUBERTY
i know i have a major crush on him
FIRST SON!
oh my god. YES. A Wes spy film.
you missed kubrick
the comedy is subtle its a dramatic commedy
dramady anyone. ( ;
To be fair, he was being asked some nonstandard questions that could easily catch him off his guard.

plus his lisp is driving me crazy, it's hard to listen to
yep
Oh my God... that's hilarious
haha the kids voice changed since the movie.
Bring back Luke Wilson!
Glad Ed norton is cool
Two Texans walk into a bar...
Whodathunk that Texas would add to America a rich part of its pop culture?
As much as I love his movies, I hate listening to Anderson talk about them. He's either the most inarticulate director, or is literally just lucky that all the pieces somehow work together so often.
