Wes Anderson is known for making independent-type stylistic films which mix poignancy and dry humor. Anderson's films, visually, often make use of close-ups, quick pans, and slow motion shots. He often uses folk and early rock as the background- music in scenes. His often damaged characters are viewed in a compassionate light. The depiction of escapism and companionship through chemicals seems to be one of his trademarks also. In each of his films, one or more of the main characters smokes cigarettes or marijuana, Excessively drinks, takes pills, etc. Additionally, his films often feature a heavy-smoking female character. A recurring character in Anderson's films is a respected middle aged male who is essentially a fraud. All of Anderson's films, with the exception of The Darjeeling Limited,end with slow motion sequences - although The Darjeeling Limited's third to last shot is in slow motion. Also, with the exception of the independently financed Bottle Rocket, his films employ a similar visual style, primarily through the use of vivid pastel colors. He is known for deliberate, methodical cinematography, using 90 degree camera angles, parallel and perpendicular arrangement of forms, and frequent use of symmetry. All of Anderson's films utilize the font Futura Bold in either the opening credits, title sequences or closing credits and is also displayed in other printed materials used throughout his films. Each film also uses Futura Bold to display the main closing credits in a particular format where the first name is displayed in a title case and the last name is displayed in all caps. Furthermore,every Wes Anderson movie contains a shot of one or more characters under water

    Interesting youth film, the pictures and music are good, the relationship between the characters in the film is a bit interesting, the child's mouth is really cheap. The slow rhythm in the middle made me think it was creating the atmosphere for the finale, but I was disappointed, and the back was still pretty bland.

    I don't like this story or the male protagonist's flamboyant personality but his ability to do things, and he is not polite enough to treat female teachers. Although he is not a dick and is good at writing scripts, I just don't like him~ The best acting is Bill Murray, and his eyes are filled with the vicissitudes of time.
