It is still the familiar Wes Anderson, with beautiful colors and extremely obsessive-compulsive composition. "Crossing Darjeeling" is a comedy and road film. The uncomplicated story ties together three brothers with distinct personalities who have not communicated with each other for a year. The elaborate design cannot resist the unexpected arrival. a different journey.
Changes in characters: Big brother's strong desire for control and possessiveness, the three brothers' mutual secrets are hidden from each other and secretly spoken out, this dog's tail grass behavior (the grass on both sides of the wall) is really cute, you can clearly see the early stage Impatient, it paved the way for the tacit understanding in the later period, and a big change came. After all, they are brothers, and their love is more than Jin Jian. Later in the film, the tacit understanding between the brothers appeared, and they cooperated better and better and trusted each other more and more. very nice.
Cold humour is a hallmark of Wes Anderson's films, and the line's snarky joke "you'll leave a lot of new features," Pitt says to Francis, who removes the bandages to reveal a scarred face, is offbeat Comforting, but also giving Francis care, in the end, I hope Francis will not care too much about his wounds and will get better.
In the setting of audio-visual language, Wes Anderson's personal characteristics are too bright, bright colors, and cold and warm tones are clearly displayed. The well-designed composition is extremely beautiful. Two train windows are displayed in the night screen. The left is the box next to Jack, and the right is the box where the eldest brother and the second brother are. Under the symmetrical composition, the three brothers are doing the preparations before going to bed at the same time. Closing the curtain ends this long shot, which is very fun, and the obsessive-compulsive disorder looks cool. There are also multiple use of slow motion in the film. The two chases of the train use upgraded shots. There is a kind of dramatic effect that you can't catch up with, but you can catch up with the train, adding drama to the film. The use of music has exotic characteristics, and the combination of music and journey has distinct regional style characteristics, and at the same time, it is somewhat magical and funny, which adds a touch of interest to the film.
This is a wonderful journey, breaking the pre-planning and reshaping the brotherhood. The journey seems to never end. The three brothers finally reunited with their mother. After the family communicated, they stepped into the journey again, running from one station to the next without stopping. Life is like a journey, you will experience all kinds of different things, you will encounter all kinds of unexpected situations, but the best thing is that someone must accompany you on your journey, even if only for a certain part of it.
Wes Anderson's films are always so cute and meaningful.
