And that is how we catch a train in India. Because we can, the doors don't auto shut and what's the rush until you see the train pulling away. There is always a wiggle room. There is a sense of instant achievement and victory...for getting that 10 mins of extra snooze or a relaxed cuppa chai or mathri with family.
I remember torrenting this movie in 2008. No idea what it was.. I was in tears at the end. Really worked out some deep seated emotional baggage I was holding on to. The power of film.
I was thinking he was wearing his fathers prescription, which would explain that in Brody’s pain and inability to see he actually thought for a split second this was his father and a metaphorical train that Brody is getting on without him.
i think murray is supposed to be their dad, thats why he appears on the train during the playing with fire scene. also its why the end scene mirrors this because they weren't ready to say goodbye to him but by the end they do hence losing all his bags. Murray isn't a real man in the scene but their father. They are not ready to part with him till the end.
This scene was shot in Jodhpur which is my hometown, and I see those streets and the railway station almost daily. Sadly this movie was shot when I was 6, so I think I missed my only chance to meet Bill Murray.
First, this scene deals with the notion of story. There is always a candid way to talk about people in Anderson’s movies. We may follow the Murray’s life story, but instead of that, it’s about Brody. Don’t know exactly why. Just like a life we catch in the air. That’s it: the cinema. It reminds me Max Ophuls films, like « La Ronde ». Something deep and frivolous at the same time. Also we can interprete the train as the departure of the mother, who is an exantric and a kind of egoist character. After her wife has left, Murray, the husband, never really began a new life. He was maybye more « weak » than his wife. The 3 brothers run after their mother, who’ll left them again after as the darjeling will give them up on the quay later in the film. Whatever, they’re still here together, with something they just have to accept. It’s a cycle, and after all, they go back to their home, with the souvenir of their father, who is in the train to at the end. And life is range in case, wich symbolise some memories, the beautiful futility of life, wich can be sad or just funny. Wes Anderson’s films are a doll house in wich happen à kind of tragic stories. Another way to show without being tainted in grey.
I remember seeing this in the cinema and thinking this movie was a ball of shit, compared to rushmore and the royal tennanbaums anyway.......but seeing it again a few years later i realise i was completely wrong and its a beautiful film and a bit of a masterpiece
I think I feel similarly and will have to rewatch moonrise kingdom, hotel sometime with new eyes, isle of dogs I saw in theatre and felt I didn't like it as much as other wes Anderson's, specifically tenenbaums and darjeeling,
Gosh Wes Anderson is my all time favorite director... if I have to choose between Hitchcock or Wes Anderson for my last movie of my life... I d probably pick Anderson.... Don't get me wrong 'Hitchcok' is brilliant and their is no comparison, but I want to die, with broad smile on my face and only Wes Anderson can provide that.... :)
Love this scene. For me it shows the two kinds of people that exist in the world: those who are spoiled, believe that the world owes them everything and expect everything to be handed to them effortlessly (Murray) and those who know that the world doesn't owe them a thing and if they want something, the only way is to get it is to work their ass off (Brody). Only they appreciate truly what they have in life because they know the struggle they went through and savor them much more than someone who had it handed to them.
I guess the beauty of this scene is that it is open to different interpretations. I always see this as Anderson saying that we think this thing called life is our story but it isn't. So when we initially see Murray we assume this will be his story but he turns out to be only a brief witness to Brody's story, which is the one the film focused on. But it could have just as easily been Murray's. We are all passing figures and witnesses in a million stories throughout our lives. And others to ours.
Brian Naas I always saw it two ways. 1. The only reason Adrian Brody made it on to the train is because he was physically younger and could run faster. In other words, don't wait until you're too old to take the journey you're able to now, and don't wait until you're too old to connect with the people most important to you. And, 2. Bill Murray represents their dad, and the train is life. The son gets to continue forward as he watches his dad get left behind, because he's dead.
My dream is to board a train like this, it's probably dangerous as hell and unfortunately trains don't have platforms at the back in my country anymore.

One of the best opening scenes in movie history!
I love it !

I have to say Irffan Khan would have added more credence to it. I have not seen any white person catch a train like this.

The power of film.
Same
My simple understanding of this scene : since Murray missed the train and Brody gets it we’ll be telling his story not Murray’s.
Would strongly want to see a sequel told from Bill Murray’s perspective
@@ManVsMachineProductions send the link
It would have been cool to see a crosscut of both Brody and Murray rushing to the station, sweat poring from both cab drivers.
I was thinking he was wearing his fathers prescription, which would explain that in Brody’s pain and inability to see he actually thought for a split second this was his father and a metaphorical train that Brody is getting on without him.

It's on my bucket list to reenact this scene exactly with myself as Brody.
andeace23 so who's gonna act the one representing the dead
I've already done it. It didn't look this awesome though.
Wes Anderson beautifully captures our lives that we pass in a hurry trying to catch one train after another.
Thirteen years later, I'm 31 and crying for some reason. Love this movie
The cinematography in this scene is awesome!
I love this scene and I love watching Adrien running to catch the train. The film is almost as svelte and gracile as he is.
Brodie got that long leg stride.
Does anyone else think bill murray is their father and that brody was imagining him?
I totally agree.
Interesting. I've never thought of that before.
This is why I love movies. They come to life with thoughts like this.
greenemonster No
Interesting idea but it would make a lot more sense if bill Murray didn’t have a full scene to himself before hand
thank you for uploading this. the song is "the kinks - this time tomorrow" ... i listen to it every time im on a plane
ilya Kozlov another kink song called Strangers is also in it
Me too!!
Wes Anderson loves The Kinks :)
This scene was shot in Jodhpur which is my hometown, and I see those streets and the railway station almost daily. Sadly this movie was shot when I was 6, so I think I missed my only chance to meet Bill Murray.
such an awesome beginning to a movie

Same.
I had the same reaction to The Grand Budapest Hotel. Sometimes Wes Anderson’s work takes a little time to sink in before you see the value.
I think I feel similarly and will have to rewatch moonrise kingdom, hotel sometime with new eyes, isle of dogs I saw in theatre and felt I didn't like it as much as other wes Anderson's, specifically tenenbaums and darjeeling,
Doesn't that make you think, "where was i when I viewed it?" I love how a piece stays the same and we change.
One of the starkest cases of misdirection I've ever experienced in a movie.
Gosh Wes Anderson is my all time favorite director... if I have to choose between Hitchcock or Wes Anderson for my last movie of my life... I d probably pick Anderson....
Don't get me wrong 'Hitchcok' is brilliant and their is no comparison, but I want to die, with broad smile on my face and only Wes Anderson can provide that.... :)
Î would go for Christopher Nolan, but I think I love all of Wes Anderson movies
Claude Daoust Nolan is someone, who can fix you on edge of your seat...
I really think Bill Murray is the father. Which is why Adrian Brody looked back and felt sad.
Such a damn good movie.
Love this scene.

you think its about welfare or something? c'mon. its about letting go. its about not knowing the future and stepping out anyway. maybe ;)
I always saw this scene as bill murray being the father of the 3 brothers.
It's just Wes Anderson saying "I'll change my main actor for this movie"
Bastard doesn't even pay the cab driver XD
Albert Kim Actually the cab driver's telling him to hurry up because his train's going to leave.
Didn't*
So at the start Brody doesn't make any effort for helping others, but at the end he pulls his brothers on the train. Quite meaningful.
CHILLS!!!!
masterpiece
Can't help but think Murray's character symbolizes the ghost of the Witman's father and he misses the train as a metaphor for death.
Am I the only one who felt bad for Bill Murray's character. I don't know why
Saludos desde la Salle del Bajío
Ufffa, salodoteeeeee
Jocelyn Arellano ya contéstame en insta no?:(
Cet scène d'ouverture montre encore une fois que Wes "Yellow" Anderson aime énormément le jaune.
According to Indian standards, that taxi driver was slow😅😅😂
Their father was hit by a cab, that's how he died.
My dream is to board a train like this, it's probably dangerous as hell and unfortunately trains don't have platforms at the back in my country anymore.
Watched this in AS Media Studies!
that's my city..Jodhpur, India
Which city is this scene filmed in? Looks like Jodhpur, Rajasthan... not sure but I seem to recognize it because I've been there.
Sunny Nexxt Yap it's all Jodhpur except 'Texi' those yellow black Fiat cab are normally run in mumbai...
Am from Jodhpur and good you visit here
