That's why it's 'black'. They didn't know they were misguided. This film was akin to Fargo in many ways - some of the characters in that could also be described as desperate and misguided, and that film was hilariously 'black'.<BR/><BR/>Wes Anderson - love the guy. Can't say I've enjoyed all of his films, but I will always check out his work. The way in which he frames some scenes are almost as though he is taking a photograph. He takes the term 'motion picture' to a whole new level.<BR/><BR/>For me, Tenenbaums was classic. Adore that film. And I thought Darjeeling was greatness too. But, unlike many, Rushmore and Life Aquatic left me a bit cold - not that they were bad films by any means. I won't comment on Bottle Rocket because I haven't seen that in a very long time. (Might check it out again.)<BR/><BR/>Catch ya later.Wadrick Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07931271397384782260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1654822324078318572.post-89389007975421727692009-01-12T19:21:00.000+11:002009-01-12T19:21:00.000+11:00I agree with you about the Blair Witchiness of Clo...I agree with you about the Blair Witchiness of Cloverfield, but I thought it was borderline unbearable. I cracked jokes through the entire movie. <BR/><BR/>Burn After Reading was pretty good. The one scene where Clooney finds Pitt and then something unexpected happens made the whole movie worthwhile for me. Although the cheeky humor of the Cohen brothers was a lot funnier in O Brother, this movie made me feel a little sad and lonely. The characters were all so desperate and misguided.<BR/><BR/>What do you think about Wes Anderson movies Wadrick? I think Bottle Rocket, Rushmore, Royal Tenebaums, The Life Aquatic, and Darjeeling Limited could use a group review. I would be interested to read what you think about them.Bill Donovanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09784106148142157239noreply@blogger.com
