    Scarlet saying she's playing an actor, playing a character who's rehearsing for another role is mind blowing. It's fair to say there's a lot of deconstructing the form of storytelling here, which could easily be portrayed as naval gazing, but it is beautiful

      @@adilator it's definitely one of his worst films, but I think the point of it about where emotional beats hit in a film - he gives us glimpses at character development with no real substance (which is a shame given his other work) and one of the most emotional scenes is a monologue by Margot Robbie where she re-enacts a dialogue with the other person actually present. Peculiar and interesting, but not terrible

    Just seen it and loved it. It resonated with my brain, I grinned through half the film and I could watch the intro train ride for hours. Some of the most enjoyable pieces of cinematography that will probably ever exist. It will probably take me years and at least one more viewing with subtitles to catch most details and make more sense of it and I'm already looking forward to hour long youtube videos unraveling the different story arcs and points. But even if you don't really "get it" it's still just such a joy if you have any sense for whimsical or were/are an imaginative child.
    Funny to hear about the General as a performer. That's what I got too but I really liked it. Like that general actually wished he was a stage performer instead and now is his time to shine. And I thought he did admirably.

    Jeffrey Wright was the standout performances in this film. He was great in French Dispatch but was on another level in Asteroid City. Particularly, the General’s scene where he’s rushing through the story of his whole life and Wright’s precise delivery really sold the character. I really hope he becomes a regular.

    "and sometimes that is life. You know, you don't understand it, you still have to get up the next day, and put yourself out there". If Walt had said it, it'd be a grim reflection of his sense of how desperately a man should stick to always believing that they're doing the right thing. As Brian, it's just a beautiful description of a gentle confidence in the happenstance of the unexpected.

    Watching a Wes Anderson movie is like watching a long series of trailers: every few minutes could be used as a stand-alone trailer. But after all these trailers are strung together, you are still left with nothing more than a very, very long trailer. The the fact that this accumulation is 'movie length' makes the viewer think that there is something more there . . . but there isn't.

Mr Fox with the kids, anytime. But after Dog Isle I started to get the feeling you speak of. French Dispatch did little to me, probably because it's rooted in a facet of US culture I'm unfamiliar with. Grand Budapest is a mixed bag in this respect for me. Overall, and probably contrary to your feeling, I'm captivated by the constructed reality he builds, the stilted framing. It's soothing, somehow...

Or theres a 1957Chevy on the junkyard, its still a brand new car. Not to mention that did you really scrap american classics just for the sake of the movie? Some people save these cars and you destroy history and artpieces. This describes a slap dash job. Im sorry! Are you really couldnt get a car that was considered old in the 1950s?
