It is interesting to watch Wes Anderson’s progression. I really like what you share here. I would argue that he’s not even making films anymore - they feel more like collections of invented, sentimental mementos. I agree that art should say something or confront something or ask questions of an audience. I like your examples of those who were producing things that were different from their peers. It does feel like most people are trying to fit inside the same few boxes where success has already been found. What is the new “sneakers on the runway”? Sorry for yapping. Thanks for sharing !
Thanks for reading and leaving a thoughtful comment! But I agree, I can’t wait to see what will be the next “sneakers on the runway” because it’s always exciting to see how people push concepts in art
You know, I should have talked to you more this past weekend about movies. I 100% agree with you on Wes and just this whole concept. How it applies to art, music and more. I think it is ok to not like something that is a massive love of many people while still respecting it. If it doesn't speak to you, fine, just don't hate me (or worse look down on me) because I have that opinion.
I respect your views and acknowledge your sentiment towards Wes.
I don't agree either that he's an art filmmaker. If anything, he's an artsy filmmaker who makes visually stunning films.
On a different tangent, I met a B&B Owner in Udaipur who worked with Wes Anderson for The Darjeeling Limited. And he shared his experience along with some photos. Also, about how meticulous Wes Anderson's preparation was for the movie. One instance was the great lengths they went to procure that box that held the cobra.
