    You griped about Mrs. Fox not doing any thing in FMF, but she does! She uses her talent of painting landscapes to plan and coordinate the assault. Also, it makes sense that she would not want to go into the fray because, as we find out at the end, she is pregnant. The central point fo her character is that she puts the well-being of her children first. That is why Fox was supposed to quit thieving in the first place.

      It’s not like he’s lacking though. The Academy loves him; he’s been nominated SEVEN TIMES. Compare that to other incredible visionaries like Brian de Palma, Paul Verhoeven, or David Cronenberg, who don’t even have one to their name (not counting Verhoeven’s Foreign Language Film recognition which for some reason doesn’t count). Sometimes it’s a honor to just be nominated, although he’ll probably win Live-Action Short for Henry Sugar pretty soon.

    Honestly, Wes Anderson & Roald Dahl fit so perfectly together; they've both got such a knack for treating the extraordinary with deadpan "this is totally ordinary what are you talking about" delivery that I've always found just so charming. Kinda wanna see what a Wes Anderson adaptation of Lemony Snicket would look like, since his writing style has a very similar charm to it. They fit in the same category in my head, at least.

    I'm glad Schaff is expanding into director filmography rankings, and this was a great way to start. Ever since I first saw _Fantastic Mr. Fox,_ I've absolutely adored Wes Anderson's signature style. The deadpan humor, the bright colors, and intricate camera work are incredible. This man goes all out in everything he does, and every one of his films are enjoyable and inspiring. Mr. Fox is still my favorite, though.

    I still rewatch the ending of The Grand Budapest Hotel often. Just the way the movie zooms out from the story of the hotel, to the story being told, to that story being written down, to that story being read in the present day, just makes the tragic ending so much more effective, telling you that this was several decades ago, and its legacy is basically gone, and we’re viewing the last scraps of its memory. What an incredible movie.

      The things that stood out for me are the small details which resemble the real Budapest and Hungary, despite that the movie not officially takes place in Hungary. That tram/lift thing that goes up to the hotel are looks like the real ones, but in reality there is not a Hotel on top but the Buda Castle which was the Capital Building of the Country for a few hundred years, and from this direction, it's actually somehow a resemblance to what actually happened to the Country in the second world war, not even speaking about that "Border Control" which could be in any invaded country but in the end I like to pretend that in the background the movie actually takes place in Hungary.

    I can remember the first time I decided (quite randomly, I might add) to watch The Grand Budapest Hotel, while having no real introduction to We Anderson before (I think technically I'd seen Fantastic Mr. Fox first, but didn't know it was the same director until later) - I was absolutely FLOORED by the visuals. His right-angle sweeps and head-on and symmetrical shots are so unique (if only because you're not strictly supposed to do that) that I was immediately enamored. Also the colors and the story sort of slowly 'filled my cup' as well over the course of the film, and I left the experience in awe that no one had tried to do something similar before (aside from Wes himself, of course). He is definitely one of the most visionary *artists* of film of all time.

Loud rottweilers, little bouncy terriers, golden retrievers that looked like big living teddy bears, they were the cutest things. When the main dog, Chief, called the other dog "you son of a bitch", all the humans were like "oh 😲" and all the dogs barked. Definitely one of my favorite movie viewing experiences.

    I'm happy to see the French Dispatch so high, its my favourite of his and one of my favourite films of all time. I think the anthology format helps focus Wes for each story to make them feel unique, with their own music, themes and energy, it keeps me hooked for each story. They're like fireworks of story.

    • @AtlasBlizzard
      @AtlasBlizzard Před 5 měsíci +8

      Agreed. I wish Schaff would've mentioned the Owen Wilson segment, though. Granted, it's shorter, but it totally fits the local-flavor feel that also belongs in a magazine.

  • @trustindean5164
    @trustindean5164 Před 6 měsíci +76

    Honestly to me Asteroid City is probably my favorite and I think one part of that is if you unravel the plotlines I feel it ultimately is MORE about trying to understand your purpose in the universe and coming to the conclusion that there isn't one so you have to make it yourself. Like realizing the wifes death didn't have much meaning but that doesn't make her life less important is kinda the point of that plot.
    Also I will mention they actually state that the climax of the asteroid city plot is actually the same as the play plot! In the actual plot of the play the guy has a meeting with his dead wife where she helps him understand stuff, which is mirrored by him running into the woman who was going to play his wife who metaphorically died by going to a different production. They're actually even running through the dialogue that was supposed to be in that scene

  • @brianclayton3329

    I've found Life Aquatic becomes stronger with each rewatch. I think Murray's performance is perfect for this character and the odd, dysfunctional world that has been created around him. I find the film's overall strangeness and unpredictable tonal shifts to be endearing, making it a top 3 Anderson for me. Anyway, thanks for doing this ranking!

  • @Bobothefish13
    @Bobothefish13 Před 3 měsíci +2

    So Asteroid City is my 3rd favorite Wes film (after French Dispatch and Grand Budapest like yourself) because I read the main theme as being soley about deriving meaning from art but in this case more from the perspective as being a part of it. Jason Schwartzmans actor character can’t fully deliver on the play character’s grief precisely because he doesn’t understand it either and has to take his own artistic risks to bring it to life. To me, one of the lessons of the film is that art is created by everyone involved in the process and not just a single figurehead. That plays into also why the playwright wasn’t so worried about his own intent as well, he trusted everyone else to help him along the way. Still I’m just glad to find another French Dispatch lover

    • @radiofloyd2359
      @radiofloyd2359 Před měsícem +2

      Yeah, I think this rings extremely true. The fact that there are so many characters, and that the stories feel unfinished is kinda part of the point of the film.
      Like, idk, I find it weird that most of the criticism surrounding the film are literally just people pointing out the same problems the actors do, despite the film being all about those criticisms and how art is not always going to be finished or complete, or have its purpose be revealed to you.

    I think what I love the most about Wes Anderson is his style of filmmaking. I've only five of his eleven movies (this video was how I found out his filmography was that small, I used to think he had like thirty under his belt...), but I just adore how he makes every shot feel like it's taking place on a literal stage. Like if you zoomed out and viewed the shot from afar, it'd be taking place on a theater stage, with an entire audience watching it all unfold in front of them. It's such an unorthrodox, yet unique style that I just can't help but gaze at and adore.
    Definitely going to check out/rewatch some of his stuff in the future. I'm really feeling the mood for his stuff and some more Studio Ghibli content too.
