Wes Anderson is really one of the best directors of our time. It is always tight and not too stressful. It is very suitable for eating with lunch after waking up on Saturday, or on Sunday night, after dinner, turn off the lights, Lie on the sofa and watch quietly.
His films are basically infinite in ways of interpretation, never showing a specific theme, but with a timeless style and signature. The first is symmetry. Compared with Budapest and Canis Island, this one does not show much of his usual abnormal symmetry in the scene setting, but the plot corresponds everywhere. The meeting of the three protagonists was unpleasant at first. The tyranny of the eldest brother made the two younger brothers want to withdraw from this spiritual cleansing journey. Every plot showed the discord and contradiction between the three people, but when they saw the three When the child's life was at stake, it quickly became a highly cooperative group. When the second brother went ashore with the unsaved child, the narrative began to be symmetrical. The funeral is the driving force of the whole movie, the first funeral drives the three people to split, the second funeral drives the three people to reconcile.
Anderson's details are particularly well done. For example, at the beginning of the film, the second brother drives the car. Before anyone can get up, the suitcase is thrown up first. At the end of the film, three people drive the car and throw away the suitcase and bag. On the surface, it seems to be to catch up with the car, but in fact these are the relics of their father. They are the heartbreak of the father's death that the three brothers could not solve for a year. The three brothers finally understand that this is a burden for them to continue their life journey. And the second brother was the last to throw away the box. Everything was the most difficult for him, because his father and the child died in his arms covered in blood.
For another example, the eldest brother appears in a bandage, the second brother often does not wear pants, and the third brother is always barefoot. These settings of the director are very interesting. Also, near the end of the film, some of the stalks in the film will be reproduced, including the pregnant second sister-in-law and the third brother's ex-girlfriend, etc., and they also try their best to complain about the magical India. If you look closely at the picture below, you will see Anderson Unique sense of humor.
But when it comes to the director's unique brain circuit, that is that the crazy driver in the first two minutes of the movie was just a joke by Anderson. He was really just a driver, and one of the protagonists began to join him two minutes later. The role of soy sauce, crazy to drive the car, and successfully get on the car.
Anderson's color grading has almost become a system, and it is really admirable to turn the smoke and dust unique to dry and poor areas into the layers of fog that life must pass through.
I really like Anderson's movies, they make me feel that there are a lot of scary and sad things in this world that are unavoidable, we are not superheroes, we can't save the world, we are very weak in the face of this world, but that's okay, so Negative, negative and sad emotions will pass, and death will not be gray, it will be Anderson.
