…is a wonderful film.
People say it’s full of nothing. Emotional detachment. I disagree. In fact, I’ve connected most to this film more than any other one I’ve ever seen.
People say Wes Anderson focused too much on the visuals. That they distract from what’s actually happening. I disagree. The visuals, in some cases, actually were story.
Metatextual works are often criticized for their lack of a through-line plot. I almost decide how much I like a movie based on how hard it is to follow… this makes you think about what you’re watching!! Why else would you spend 90 minutes (and more) just being fed a storyline? That seems dull to me.
I’m a sucker for hipster movies, so I could absolutely be biased, but I think it’s a wonderful film.

I love Wes Anderson as a director. I can't help but think that his movies are easily recognizable by how symmetrical that they are. Does he use the golden ratio to make them look pictorially pleasing?
Me and my friend tried to get through Warhol's "Empire" at one time (8 hours of staring at the Empire State Bldg), but only made it two hours in.
Oddly, I think he released a silent version, too
