Top Comments of this video!! :3
I absolutely love how from his first film, Wes already set himself apart from any other director with his strategic camera angles and placements to his quick-witted dialogue. Most directors would change their style over time and then find their what they do best, but I love how Wes knew, from the beginning, exactly the types of films he wanted to make and how he would make them.

My favorite is definitely The Royal Tenenbaums because it's a movie I can just watch over and over again. I like that there's a lot of things implied that aren't really said (though, I know that's not exclusive to the Tenenbaums) like Chas and Margot's relationship even though I think they only have one interaction during the while movie. At the beginning, the young Chas was the one asking questions to Royal about the play, but the questions were sort of intuitive and very interested. Or at the end when the whole family is watching the play and Chas is just super into it. I think that's another aspect of the Anderson style too maybe, how fleshed out the characters are without needing to really explain.
As I'm thinking about it, almost every Wes Anderson character seems like they could have a whole other rich movie exploring them and another aspect of their life.

The shooting at 6:30 is one of the most Wes Anderson things I've ever seen

When I saw Rushmore in 1998, I was a high school senior. That movie filled me with a feeling that I didn't have a name for. That feeling brought me back to every movie Wes Anderson made since, as well as to Bottle Rocket.
That was over 20 years ago now...
Has there been a wide-release filmmaker who has succeeded so thoroughly as a pure artist, while being stuck in a time of almost infinite nihilism and apathy? Even as the public stays indoors (even pre-COVID), streaming one TV episode after another, Wes Anderson keeps going. Theaters always fill for his films. At this point, it's almost anachronistic.
Someday we can look back and hopefully realize that he wasn't just one of the greats, but maybe surpassed even the greatest of them.
Wes Anderson films are as deep as Kubrick's.
As visually dynamic and musical as Scorsese's.
As worldly as Fellini's.
As emotional as Truffaut's.
As tricky as Hitchcock's.
As lyrical as Tarantino's.
As mournful as Bergman's.
As hopeful as Spielberg's.
He's not for everyone, but all those names up there make plenty of people puke too.
I just consider myself lucky to have a giant like him to co-habit this planet with as the wildfires rage all around us.
