In Wes Anderson's second work, in addition to being easy and funny, the sorrow of life is also faintly revealed in it. (Admits himself) Precocious freak teenager vs. boyish tycoon, a beautiful teacher drew the two to bend. The passionate spirit of daring to think and act in a young age and fighting against each other is vividly reflected in the film, just like the obsession of creating an aquarium and the crazy act of performing the [full metal shell] Vietnam War blockbuster on the stage. Jason Schwartzman played really well (this was his screen debut), Olivia Williams was beautifully shining, and Bill Murray's revenge for breaking a teenage bicycle and locking it back in place was fascinating. Hold a belly. The obsessive-compulsive symmetry composition and candy fairy-tale color scheme in Wes Anderson's later works are not yet noticeable in this film, but the playful and rich soundtrack (mostly old songs from the 6th and 70th), and the overhead shots of small objects , The formal chapter transitions (various curtains) and the preference for letters are purely Weiss style brushwork. (8.5/10)
