The magic of the soundtrack

Only Wes Anderson could reconcile estranged brothers so beautifully. The film is a bit boring, but the occasional soundtrack is the highlight, which is very clever and appropriate. The three brothers came out of the earthen house to attend the funeral, and the sound was "Strangers" by The Kinks.

Where are you going I don't mind

I'vekilled my world and I'vekilled my time

So where do I go, what do I see

I see many people coming after me

So where are you going to I don't mind

If I live too long I'm afraid I'll die

So I will follow you wherever you go

If your offered hand is still open to me

Strangers on this road we are on

We are not two, we are one

The first action among the three is Peter turning back, and the second action is Jack raising the petals to the sky and then looking back at Francis. The whole scene is absolutely beautiful. The song and the plot perfectly echo, and it is also the sign of the three brothers starting to reconcile. Jack and Peter no longer mind Francis' dictatorial arrangement, we are one, we are brothers. Then the flashback scene was a few days ago more than a year ago. A scene where individuals go to their father's funeral together.

Another soundtrack is when the three find their mother and are placed in a crib to sleep like children. The music gradually starts to play "Play With Fire" by The Rolling Stones. The music stops abruptly when the mother leaves the room. The three brothers are obviously Not satisfied with the answer, so I chased after them, and until they sat down and tried to communicate without words, "Play With Fire" sounded completely again, the camera went from the mother to the three brothers and then back to the mother, and then the characters in the whole movie Filmed at that moment, as if they were put in different cars of the same train, church kid, female conductor smoking secretly, male conductor playing with confiscated snake, Peter's belly lover, bald assistant, Alice ... The three brothers lived a decent and glamorous life in normal times, but they were embarrassed during their trip to India. Francis was always bandaged, and Jack lost his shoes in the second half. The mother finally left, but the three brothers returned. close.

    There are two words for Wes Anderson: subtle, quirky. The three brothers' spiritual journey to find their mother has given a new light beyond the two words. The hero Owen, the actor and the little Schwartzman are different and different, and they are all too plain in performance. The unique image style and art are still a part of WA movies that cannot be ignored.
