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?

From what I know, he does whatever it takes to make it symmetrical. One of his editors said that most scenes are composited from multiple takes, sometimes upwards of 20, to get it right. For example, the shot in Asteroid City where Augie is telling his children that their mother has passed was composed of somewhere around 25 shots individually... Something like that, anyways. I don't know if he's ever specifically mentioned the golden ratio but his films absolutely make use of it.
