THE HURT LOCKER will be uploaded Wednesday! Enjoy the day!
Best Wes Anderson Movie imo. Never seen him get as dark as that one Luke Wilson scene, it’s one of the best scenes I’ve ever seen
yeah, i was pretty young when i first watched this (13 or so) and I was in absolute hysterics at that scene. the colors, the genuine hurt in richie's expression, combined with elliott smith's somber vocals were just really overwhelming. such a beautiful movie, it's amazing wes anderson can be so melancholy and heartwarming at the same time
@@GLENNACHEEMS same. It was my favorite Wes Anderson movie then too lol
That Elliott Smith soundtrack makes me tear up every time because of that scene
@@PassingMaxQ it is a haunting song. Used to be one of my favorite songs before this film, but that scene is so painful. When Elliot Smith died it just became too much.
Just behind Grand Budapest for me, that scene is incredible
"Died tragically rescuing his family from the wreckage of a destroyed sinking battleship." Gravestone worthy of Royal himself.
Nothing wrong with a little metaphor.
i have actually put that in my will. i loved that idea so much when i saw it
Amen to that!
Is it just me or do Wes Anderson films make you feel sad and happy at the same time?
I’m with ya on that!
Yeah that's the general feeling.
Almost all his movies are about broken adults
he's the master of melancholy
"It's been a rough year, Dad" gets me every time
the shaving scene has to be one of my favorites of all time
It’s so good!!
I believe it was at least partially inspired by Scorsese's student film. Not sure, though; it's been a long time since I've listened to the DVD audio commentary.
After what happened with Elliott, tough to watch but excellent all the same
It’s intense and seems realistic.
@@RustinChole yeah RIP. One of the best rock musicians of all time
It's theorised that the reason their tracksuits are red is because it allows them to stand out in a crowd! Because of Chas' irrational fear for danger at any given moment, it helps him keep track of his family. Really loved the reaction btw! It's one of my favourite movies.
Alec Baldwin's narration is so beautifully paced and delivered.
No matter how many times I watch this movie, the part where they kick Royal out and he tells Chas to take it easy on his kids so the same thing doesn't happen to him, always makes me cry.
The hidden beauty and sadness in this movie is so so deep
“Do you wanna talk some jive?! I’ll talk some jive.”
Might be my favorite line in any Wes Anderson movie.
Mine’s from Moonrise Kingdom: “I love you, but you don’t know what you’re talking about.”
What!!!!! Omg this is my absolute favorite Wes Anderson movie, it’s the first one I saw as a child and has stuck with me as I’ve grown up. Most of Wes Anderson’s movies feel authentic but this one particularly feels like a movie about a real family
I believe this remains the movie I’ve seen the most times in a theater. Around 16 times I think. It’s the only movie I remember walking out of a couple of times and immediately buying a ticket for the next showing. I remember this coming out around the same time as Amelie and David Lynch’s Mulholland Drive. That was a great season of cinema for me.
Who doesn't love a good Wes Anderson film, Cant wait for the French Dispatch, his Casts just get more and more stacked
The bus stop scene is by far one of my favorite scenes just ever
"Rushmore" is a Wes Anderson gem! Hope you watch it soon.
Rushmore, Magnolia, and Being John Malkovich all came out when I was just starting high school and completely opened up my mind to the art of film.
This is one of the most melancholy films of all time
Honestly one of my favorite movies ever. My heart breaks for a different character every time I watch it
Highly recommend checking out Wes Anderson's earlier films, Rushmore. Came out a few years before Royal Tenenbaums and more of a coming of age movie w/ great performances and hilarious offbeat humor
The fact that Bill Murray was not nominated for best supporting for that movie is the reason I don't give a damn about the Academy's opinions.
Rushmore is definitely a must watch. Every time I see Jason Schwartzman in something I think, "hey it's the guy from Rushmore."
@@ApesAmongUs Rushmore is what gave him the dramatic career he wanted. Without it, there’s no Lost in Translation, which he was nominated for.
I love this film. One of my favourite films by Wes Anderson because I think it’s the most real he gets. In THAT bathroom scene, he breaks his over-the-topness and gets on a level with his audience, both. He grounds the story and emotion for the briefest moment and I think the suddenness of that is so impactful and for me personally, it’s a scene I resonate with a lot so... yeah. Great film! Always love the videos❤️
Happy to hear Sam!!
@@JamesVSCinema so glad you enjoyed the movie! It’s a great one for sure, in fact I believe on Friday my college teacher is screening it for us!
I feel similarly about the helicopter scene in The Life Aquatic; I think a lot of his movies include that scene that knocks you off that cloud nine Anderson's films tend to put you on.
@@mobiusbelts3607 100%! I love how he isn’t afraid to veer from the whimsical nature that the film has been up to that point. And the sudden contrast is always so impactful without feeling jarring
I honestly always thought Margo's reaction to seeing the scars / kissing Ritchie's hands topped the attempt itself as a human moment from an enigmatic character.
You have got to see where it all began... Bottle Rocket. It was my first introduction to Wes Anderson, Owen Wilson, and Luke Wilson.
I think before The Grand Budapest Hotel came out, this was his best film. The best out of many amazing films.
You should give Bottlerocket, his first movie, a watch. It's pretty amazing how his style is already so evident. And with this, his third movie, it's already evolved so much.
Rushmore, Bottle Rocket and The Darjeeling Limited.
This is a fantastic film, btw you should check out some wong kar-wai movies, like in the mood for love, fallen angels, chungkung express etc.
Yes!! He’s such an amazing filmmaker!
Going to add a fourth to this recommendation.
The whole introduction scene that details the kids is amazing. It's playing a cover of Hey Jude (a song McCartney wrote for John Lennon's son, Jules regarding his parents divorce) and just fits so well. Another detail I love is when Young Eli is getting off the bus at the museum and he is the only white kid showing how he never really fits in anywhere.
I love that you’re doing this movie. You’ve watched a bunch of my teenage discovery/obsession movies. This along with a bunch of others help me determine how much I like weird different types of movies.
My favourite thing about this movie has to be the colour grading. God damn!
This was my first Wes Anderson film and I immediately fell in love.
I really hope you get around to Rushmore. It might be my favorite of his films. It or this one.
In addition to the part about the rose colored glasses in the suicide scene I mentioned in another comment, my other favorite visual detail is Etheline (Angelica Huston). She starts off the movie wearing white to be neutral, and then begins wearing blue, which matches Danny Glover's character, to show their bond. As she slowly reconnects with Royal, she starts appearing in pink, up until the fake cancer scene and the confrontation with Royal about if he's really dying, then she switches back to blue.
(In the opening montage she is wearing pink as well)
“You wanna talk some jive?!” Will always make me think of Airplane 😂
this is where the doll house style shines. The Wilson Brothers are hilarious.
I can't count how many times my wife or I point at one another or one of our dogs and I say "I know you asshole!" Happens on a weekly basis. Check out 'Rushmore' next, my personal favorite Wes Anderson film.
The scene with the two paintings of the guys on three wheelers with animal masks is hilarious 🤣
This is one of my fav films. I really want those weird paintings that Owen Wilson's character owned.
Fantastic film! U gotta watch Rushmore next
Man the start of this film, right up to where he lets the bird go and Hey Jude kicks in is chefs kiss
Two thoughts I had watching this:
1. Anderson’s actors tend to underplay their performance which acts as a nice balance to his outlandish style.
2. Wes Anderson’s career trajectory is the opposite of PT Anderson. While PT has grown more subtle in his style with each film, Wes leans into his more and more.
Aw this film is great the comedy is so subtle and one of those films that just makes you feel good similar to secret life of Walter Mitty but also has the shaving scene that hits you like a ton of bricks
Yeah that scene was intense!
Love Secret Life of Walter Mitty. It’s so up lifting and beautiful!
"Rushmore" was my first Wes Anderson experience and I've been a huge fan ever since. Thanks for this reaction.
Great reaction. This was my first and still my favourite Wes Anderson. Since you're deep diving on stylistic directors, it would be great to see you react to some Sofia Coppola. Maybe start with The Virgin Suicides to get a feel for her journey as a director ✨💛✨
Your analysis is hella fun, subbed
The Darjeerling Limited and Rushmore are amazing too. I fell in love with Wes Anderson's movies after Rushmore, it's still my favorite but it was my first. They are all great. The Darjeerling Limited is like this, a little bit more adult, but Rushmore put him on the map.
I love this movie. It opened my world up to Wes Anderson as well as Elliott Smith, who had a song on the soundtrack.
Rushmore is my favorite...possibly because it was my first.
Been watching your channel for awhile now and been waiting for the day you react to waves.. I know it’s been on the Patreon polls but just has never got enough votes. Absolutely amazing movie and would love your reaction to it.
If I recall correctly Wes Anderson and Mark Mothersbaugh (Devo) wrote the original soundtrack while Wes was writing the script for the movie. In my opinion, the matchup of music to the rest of the movie is incredible.
Only halfway through but I have to say I love that you are finding this so funny. I was legit the only person laughing in the theatre all of the times I saw The Royal Tenenbaums, which was quite a few because this is a perfect movie to me.
Just starting this one... but I am sooo amped. This is one of my top 3 films of all time. Crowning achievement. Hope you enjoyed it. (But wouldnt upset me if you didn't.) But this is a Owen Wilson + Wes Anderson co-written film we may never see the likes of again. Special.
Yeah this one is super special!
One of my all time favorites. Always cry at the end.
Every time Ben stiller says "I had a rough year dad" nearr the end of the filn it sounds like he's a about to break and it kills me
Man the ending is so great. This is my favorite Wes Anderson film, and despite all of the depressing things that happen within the film, the ending montage wraps everything up so well... it’s just so heartwarming. Stiller is great in this for sure - Luke Wilson steals the show imo though
Finally a reactor is doing my favorite movie!
damn, thank you so much, for actually reacting to a movie as old as this. respect. subscribed
"Rushmore" is going to make you feel, for the director's chair.
Bill Murray is fantastic. I'm so glad he did these films.
i love this film 100%. thank you
this film stands out i think among his other movies as you said, and that's why it's my favorite. even though it's so quirky and funny all the way through, there's actual depth to it. and the character performances throughout are the best imo.
James, I watched through Wes Anderson's filmography in a similar order as you - starting with his more recent/highly stylized and working backwards through his earlier, more "naturalistic" films. I think it's fascinating seeing his style evolve backwards (if that makes sense). "Rushmore" is a great next one to check out!
By far the best of his works!
1As an old man, I love how Wes has inspired you (and a few more) film makers/ cinematographers.. FILM IS AN ART FORM, gaddammit.
This is probably my favorite Wes Anderson movie because I just think it’s beautifully styled and shot. I love movie and I love James
I requested this one a couple months ago. Let’s goooooooo!
Ayyyy let’s goooo!
Bottle Rocket (his first film. Also there is a shrt film of this)
You can see the begginings of hiss style in this film. Its not polished but highly underated. Also co written by Owen Wilson.
My personal fav, Rushmore
With Bill Murray and Jason Schwartzman. This film is amazing. Also the Indian old man in this film was in Wes' first four films (i believe) he owned a jewelery shop i think that Wes used to frequent and wes put him in Bottle Rocket, Tenenbaums and Rushmore. I think he has passed now but loved seeing him in Wes films
“Did you just call me Coltrane?”
Hi‼️👋
First time watcher here, & I have already subscribed because I am a big Wes Anderson fan. 😁💕
I wish all the reactors would watch ALL the Wes Anderson movies‼️
guess this means you have to do The Darjeeling Limited next.
there seems to be a running theme with Wes Anderson movies with father issues or issues with parents in general and people being stuck in place in life.
"you were never dying"
"but I'm gonna live"
is such a fantastic bit of dialogue
the scene with Richie in the bathroom is one of my favourite scenes of all time. the dialogue, editing, music are all so good.
This movie has some incredible quotes.
This is my favorite Wes Anderson film, and if it isn't in my Top 10 All Time list, it's very close to it. This is one of my - what I call - "comfort movies". It's just a film I can always watch. And the soundtrack is just perfection. I've always loved Nico's "The Fairest of the Seasons" cover. It's just magic and used so brilliantly here.
My favorite Anderson film (next to Rushmore...haven’t seen Budapest Hotel yet I know). Gotta say, Gene Hackman is a master of his craft, and his talents, now in retirement, are sorely missed.
"Life Aquatic" is my personal favorite, but to each their own. Yeah, just rewatched "Unforgiven" and damn you really gotta hate Hackman's character. Also best Lex Luthor EVER!!
one of my all time favorite movies. Love the mature themes clashing with Wes Anderson's child like directing. Makes for an interesting film that never takes itself too seriously but is never too silly
Ohhhhh shiiiii this is one of, if not my number one, favorite movie.
Hey James! I love your content and the way you react to things. It's analytical enough that I feel like I'm learning things while you're also engaging enough to keep people entertained. I was wondering if you ever intent to review the series "Hannibal". I feel like a filmhead like you would enjoy it far more than most.
This movie has been called a love letter to JD Salinger, and it really is. The Tenenbaums are a (sort of) modernized version of the Glass family from several of Salinger's books. The Glass family were a family of precocious children living in New York who all starred on a radio quiz show called It's a Wise Child. Later, like in this movie, they had various problems but were always very close. Check out Franny and Zooey; Seymour, an Introduction; or Raise High the Roofbeam, Carpenters if you get the chance. Thanks for the reaction!
I briefly thought from the thumbnail this was about The Gentlemen. That's another nice movie
Mr. Anderson's visual style is "clinically precise". Shout out to retired acting great Gene Hackman (see also "The French Connection") We must appreciate and love our treasured actors while they are ALIVE.
I've noticed with Wes Anderson that his films before his foray into stop-motion are much more primal in terms of camera movements. It seems that Fantastic Mr. Fox and Isle of Dogs has helped solidify his smooth camera.
I consider this the best film I've ever seen. It's just perfect in both technique and heart.
PEAK Wes Anderson! I love his earlier films. They feel a bit more gritty even though they’re well polished. You really need to go back to his first feature length: BOTTLE ROCKET. It’s not his best, but it’s so cool to see Anderson finding his style and voice, and you can see a BIG leap from his first, to second (Rushmore), and to his third film (Tenenbaums).
Finally! Finally someone reacted to this film!! I highly recommend "Arthur" with Dudley Moore; you won't be disappointed!
This is one of my favorite films. Danny Glover was amazing.
"We're just gonna have to be secretly in love with each other and leave it at that, Ritchie."
As a cinefile who found himself in a (sorta) similar predicament, this movie gives me joy and great sadness all at once.
Like all of his films, this is one that I would describe--almost specific to his oeuvre--as charming. But it also has more real-world emotional consequence to the characters than any other, IMO. Chas and the death of his wife, the suicide attempt, Margo's distance by (reminded) adoption, Eli's need for approval and acceptance, Royal finally figuring out what's important in terms of what can be banked, and the humor and tenderness with which all of it is handled. I agree with you that in this sense, it seems his most mature, or adult, of what I've seen so far. Great film.
Such a great soundtrack too!
Alright! Now we need you to react to The Darjeeling Limited. Sending love from Thailand ❤️❤️
You're so right about Yorgos. The tone is much darker but his films have a similar sense of surrealism.
A classic film! Good reaction Mate!
Thanks Jude!
Love Wes Anderson. The Grand Budapest Hotel is my favorite, but I just really love Bottlerocket.
Come on Patreon folks, get this man to watch Rushmore already.
Wes Anderson's style became more formalist and rigid as time went on. This was his 3rd film so he still relied on organic and found elements to tell his stories. But with MOONRISE KINGDOM he started making his films much more artificial and stylized dioramas of the world. GRAND BUDAPEST was the the solidification of this and he's gone all in on it. I find it stifling myself, but it's still interesting.
I liked this before watching. One of my favorite movies. I knew you would "get it". This movie has it all. The characters, the story, the comedy, the seriousness. Music fits it well too. At the end when they are in the zen garden and both admit they need help, always tears me up. We all have issues. We all need help. Have to admit first...
I would love to see you do "Do the Right Thing."
90% of all of these frames would be an interesting oil painting.
Great music in this film!
I'm revisiting this reaction and just wanted to suggest you check out The Darjeeling Limited. It wasn't a big hit, but I just love it. It's one of my Wes Anderson favorites.
INVINCIBLE REACTION!!!
His dollhouse style is so great
Maybe my fave of his, along with Fantastic Mr. Fox!
YES! One of my favorite Wes Anderson films❤️
It’s really good!
Rushmore is also super super good. And of course Bottle Rocket is his first movie. And a movie by another director which has a bit of the same tone/style is Boy by Taiki Waititi - it's kind of a mix between Napolean Dynomite and a Wes Anderson movie.
The Darjeeling Limited is probably most interesting Wes Anderson films on a meta level - it is right between the more grounded, adult maturity of this and his high-style whimsy that comes with Life Aquatic, Moonrise Kingdom, and Grand Budapest Hotel. It gets a lot of mixed feelings from people but is probably my favorite next to this. Thanks for the reactions as always!
can’t wait for u to get to rushmore, far and away his best imo
Oh that’s such a good one! Royal Tenembaums is still my fav, but man... that ones pretty close. Let’s hope James’ll watch all of Wes Anderson’s movies
