People living in another world

Director Wes Anderson has a great reputation, and some of his previous works are more famous, but I have never encountered them. I watched this movie because I am a fan of Bill Morley.

It turned out to be a very peculiar movie, which was nominated for the Berlin Golden Bear. Scenes that do not pursue a sense of reality, but a story that relies on the sense of reality. Some people define it as a postmodern work. In this way, I don't even know what postmodern is. Anyway, postmodern probably won't be so keen on emphasizing ethical conflicts, right? Let’s be suspicious in this section... In the genre of the movie, I actually lean towards realism. Although I also claim to be tolerant enough, I really see my tears and emotions, but I still have a lot of realism. I also admire from time to time, but after all, I can’t become my favorite.

Maybe it's because I grew up in a country where the film taste of this country is a mixture of Italian neo-realistic films and Soviet films.

This movie by Wes Anderson was also shot in Italy. Only the Italian scenery can realize his dreamlike feelings. The story revolves around the adventurous life of an ocean explorer. For this reason, Wes Anderson bought a retired minesweeper and converted it to look like the expedition ship of his own dream. Cut it sideways and arrange it into the weird rooms you see in the movie, and then the camera can freely pass through the wall and over the ridge to connect the story together. As for the fairy-tale clear lighting, it is naturally an effect that can only be achieved in the studio. In a lively, contrived environment, sea creatures that are made up come out in the surrounding area, and on this basis, tell a story about the adult world, parent-child relationship, husband and wife relationship, or middle-aged crisis, I really can't help but feel out of place.

In the handling of the plot, absurdity is the most obvious technique. Gunfights and adventures are like giggling performances with background boards on the middle school campus. The whole plot has a strong allegory color. I always feel that the director should have something to say, but there is always a big gap with my life experience. Just like this, I finished watching the movie. Wes Anderson's imagination is indeed too rich. NS. Bill Molly still has a charming and absent-minded expression. Others include Owen Wilson, Cate Blanchett, William Dafoe, William Dafoe, the most difficult one, and the transformation is funny and quite funny.

In the end, it was not bad, and it was also a classic childlike complex: I told you that there are leopard sharks in the world, damn, no one believed me before!

I got a little touched here. The one flying in front of the camera is not a strange fish, but a testament to innocence.
