I've always loved how modular and methodic his movies are, yet you can see how organic everything feels. Describing his scenarios as dollhouse really nailed it. It's a weird ride, but this is what makes his movies some of my favorites. Great video.
Wes Anderson makes my heart smile. His movies are among my most treasured cinematic moments. I cant imagine my transcendence into adulthood without Rushmore and The Royal Tennenbaums inspiring me still to this day. HIs color palette, soundtrack, font, props, costume...I hope he continues to make films for many years to come. Love you Screenprism!
Moonrise Kingdom was the first Wes Anderson film I ever saw. It's still my favorite. Maybe it's because he introduced me to a world of essential myth and imagination I had never experienced before. the first time is usually the best.
I may have seen Life Aquatic or even Mr. Fox first. I honestly can't remember because Moonrise Kingdom bowled me over so completely that it became my "first", regardless of when I saw what. Even as I go back and find more of his work I still feel differently about that film. It's special to me. It's certainly the one I've seen more times. I think part of it is the genuine fun Bruce Willis and Ed Norton both seem to be having. They just seem happy to work with Wes and play such unique characters. I've heard that both of those actors can be difficult to work with, but I haven't heard of any such conflict with Anderson. His films are tightly controlled, yes, but I'd wager he creates a good atmosphere on set or we'd have heard about the problems.
"My first" was The Darjeeling Limited (similar sibling dynamics) which prolly remains my favourite, but Moonrise Kingdom shines as the love story I never had. They're smack in the center of Anderson's classic period, that goes from Tenembaums to Budapest. French Dispatch was a little disappointing...
You know it is a Wes Anderson film if there is a character reading a book while wearing a uniform in a grave yard or a foreigner playing a classic rock song in front of an oil painting. Get the reference?

Three years later, but I found the French Dispatch disappointing, except for the first part maybe. That solidified my impression that Wes Anderson's classical period, which started with The Royal Tenembaums, ended with The Grand Budapest Hotel (or maybe Isle of Dogs, haven't seen that one). I've high hopes for Asteroid City though...
My favourite thing about ScreenPrism, ever since it debuted two years, is how you people translate abstract inscrutable concepts into a language that is easily understood by us casual viewers. How you summarize the symbollism and meaning behind Moonlight, Get Out, and giving a comprehensive overview of the ending of Sopranos and the meticulous craft of Wes Anderson. In an age of RUclips where opinions roam, ScreenPrism is one of the only places that gives its audience a glimpse of the intellectual mind, and truly understand the subject matter before we conjure up any opinion. I knew it is good treat from the first day a subbed two years ago, and it remains my favourite channel
Wes Anderson is unquestionably my favorite director, I get joy from his films unlike any others. You did a great job of synopsising how his films are so much more than just symmetry and a pretty color palette.
I would love to see an adaption of "100 years of solitude" by Wes Anderson, maybe a series because the book is too long for a movie, I think the narration of Garcia Marquez and the visuals of Wes Anderson would complement so good, creating something really magical ✨
Oh my, yesss... 😍 You just mentioned my favourite book, and my favourite movie director in the same sentence!!! Oh bless you, dear stranger from across the world. May your intellect and imagination would always be engaged in the best of creations of the humankind. 😌
My first Wes Anderson movie was Fantasic Mr. Fox, and I gotta say, it was so different from other stop motion or animated movies I've ever seen. The first thing I noticed was the symmetry and the dry humor which both made me loved the movie.
ALL of these films are great, but KIDDOS, if you haven't seen Rushmore, just... please. Go do it. Especially if you're in high school. Especially RIGHT NOW. Max Fischer: I like your nurse's uniform, guy. Dr. Peter Flynn: These are O.R. scrubs. Max Fischer: (very pleased with himself) O, R they?
Uhhh I don't know. I saw this movie just last week and the concept doesn't hold up well. Yes, it is still very funny, like all Anderson movies, but it's also deeply disturbing when viewed through a MeToo lens. Max chases Miss Cross into quitting her job, forces himself on her, and then shows up at her house to do it again.
@@COMMODOOSA I didn't say I didn't like because of the actions of a character, I don't like it because of how the director framed those actions and the story that the creator was trying to tell.
he creates chaos in harmony and symmetry in the most entertaining way. seems like his works are just parody, skit or play-funny, lightweight and filled with cleverness. puns’ timing are impeccable and pretentiously fine countered by unforgivingly rude punchlines.
Pretty interesting how Anderson plays with the dysfunctional concept. Because dysfunctional doesn’t always mean unloving, hateful, violent or just downright miserable.
I love the use of Bowie's music in The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou. I haven't seen that in a while. I have to go find it somewhere on the internet now.
His films are so recognizable I walked through the living room and I knew the trailer was for a Wes Anderson filmefrom the three seconds it took to pass through even though I had never heard of that film.
Wes Anderson's entire filmography is a masterpiece, capturing the essence of nostalgia and deep emotion, making it a pleasure to watch repeatedly. ✌️💙✨
Now and again me and my brother would notice little things in everyday life and usually just look at each other and say Anderson. Guess that just goes to show that his beauty perception of this somewhat world we live in is show in a subtle but moving way all around us in everyday life. Damn that got deep.
You know its a Wes Anderson film if its an AMAZING WORK OF ART AND FANTASTIC AND THE BESTEST AND TALENT FILLEDAND ABSOLUTELY THE EPITOME OF CREATIVE GENIUS.
Just wanted to say thank you so much to the entire team at ScreenPrism , you just have such an incredible channel and the content that you put out is nothing short of amazing. I'm constantly awestruck and inspired by the love and passion all of you put into each of your videos. I love it so much , truly, thank you again! :=)
I love how you find something exceptional and beautiful in every director, it makes me want to watch and re-watch all those movies! Keep up the good work :) I hope you will do Jim Jarmusch sometime...
My literal best friend (of 30+ years, no less) is one of those infuriating "I don't really care about movies" people. He'll re-watch Andy Griffith or Dragnet episodes 20 times, though! 🙄👌 I LOVE movies & it depresses and saddens me. Everyone wants to share their favorite stuff with good friends, don't they? This video was so nice I think I'm going to use it to try and get him interested in directors and film in general. Wish me luck, I'll need it!
When I saw this, I almost screamed. I think your channel is fantastic, and you ladies have inspired me to apply to film school when I'm older (I'm in my mid-teens), so thank you for your inspiration and exceptional content!
Wes Anderson is cinematic brilliance in every sense of the word!! I look forward to any and every new film as much as i look forward to a sunrise. I own all his available films and watch them regularly.
Grand Budapest was incredibly tragic in undertone for having such a colorful palette and having fantastic humor. True, you realize the vibrancy is in part due to Zero recollecting his past youth, but even so his movies never underplay a tragedy.
I love the Way he Creates Movies... Its so... Different! It almost makes me smile all the time Watching... the way the Camera works in his Movies... the Way Actors apears in and out of the Cameraangle aso aso ... 🥰
Funny thing that happened to me with every Wes Anderson movie I've seen so far (all but Rushmore and Isle of dogs) is that I watch the movie, I'm either like it's okay / it's good, because the movie is impressive in terms of photography, direction, the actors are amazing, but at some point (middle or 2/3 of the movie) I'm like: "something is missing". And everytime I tell myself that: boom, something happens and it makes the movies deeper and shocking. Darjeeling Limited: boom, tragic death in the river. Tenenbaums: boom, suicide scene. Steve Zissou: boom, helicopter crash. Fantastic Mr. Fox: boom, characters are in danger. Moonrise Kingdom: "I love you but you don't know what you're talking about". Bottle Rocket, meh nothin to say here. And finally The Grand Budapest Hotel, which I've loved from the start, but only one line was enough to break my heart: "they killed him". Anyway, favorite director.
Your analysis is amazing- presented with such simplicity and yet so very informative and rich. After watching your videos, I always have a better understanding of the director leading to a greater appreciation of his/her movies. I am a Wes Anderson fan, though initially (years ago) I thought his movies were just strange. I was watching them for a "plot" rather than a wonderful experience. The journey, not the destination is the greatest joy! They certainly do have excellent structure and wonderful final outcomes, but the immense effort put in by the production staff, the set designs, the nuanced acting and everything you covered in this video make them true masterpieces. These are movies you can watch a dozen times and still find new details. Anyways- ScreenPrism rocks! You help me enjoy these pieces of art more than ever.
WA’s soundtrack choices aren’t just deep cuts from the 60s and 70s-they’re almost always from bands or artists who are classic British mods or who at least went through a mod phase. I think his mod aesthetic applies to his visual sense as well, because his male characters are almost always natty dressers who wear great suits and French or Italian sportswear, and the female characters’ clothes have a tailored look as well. And lots of his characters wear stripes, pea coats and berets. It’s all very raging Anglophilic 1964/65. I would love to see him do a reboot of Quadrophenia.
This was very well done. It is so full packed with insightful information tha I had to stop and rewind several times to the it all in. And whoever narrated this has a compelling voice. Great job all around! *Subscribed*
Man.. there should be a like button times 1000 for this video. Amazing! best screenprism yet! Wes Anderson is one of ym favourites. Can't give enough likes to this vid.. I only wish I lived in the first world so I could afford Patreon for this channel.. it's totally worth it!
I love him so much. As someone who studied both Theatre and Film (insert eye-roll here) his films capture what I love about both of those art-forms and this video also made me realise why his take feels enchanting unlike some other directors (who are still good but lacking) when they try to merge both. .....honestly he's a genius and a revolutionary... I also see him as an inventor... anyone else see that?
I stumbled upon life's aquatic one night randomly on sky , checked the info on it and didn't seem to interesting, but i continued to watch out of lethargy. Sweet Jesus this film hit with me, the symmetry, the sepia, the story, direction, acting, humour just spoke my language. Maybe I'm reaching but I reckon Wes anderson's world of compelling narration, poignant undertone, old-world explorer adventure and softened pallet optimism is the world he views or wishes too, certainly true for myself. Grand Budapest has since taken it's place since then, but I'll never forget the film tha tfirst struck accord
I think you're right; his world has its problems and its sadness, but the big stuff seems to work out. People love really strongly and they live big, interesting lives. People are nicer, too; the worst people usually aren't being mean, they're just broken in some way. The symmetry and lovely color palettes are more aspects of the world he can make better, prettier.
Grand Budapest will always be my favorite ... The rich, colorful world filled with quirky characters that are formed within a captivating and whimsical style of storytelling... To me this all adds up to a truly unbeatable combination taking movies to a whole other level... No one else can construct a truly good film quite like those of Wes Anderson... For me his style redefines cinema.
I absolutely love independent films and he is one of my favorite director. The color theme,art style .. Seems more like the visual equivalent of reading a great book
Another recurring thing in his movies is the dark underlining of the characters' eyes, such as Margot Tenenbaum, Suzy Bishop, Ash in Fantastic Mr. Fox, and even Atari in Isle of Dogs
The theme of children acting like adults makes me believe that Wes Anderson should adapt the book “The Doldrums.” If you read the book you know what I’m talking about.
I just read the blurb and I'm thinking that a symmetrical shot of an iceberg with a grandparent on each side trying to keep it balanced is something I need to see now.

Nightcrawler Screenplay Is Cleverly Written
You did an amazing job on this piece, well done 👍🏽
His films are like the movie you make in your head while reading a book...
You explained it perfectly!
Depends on the book, perhaps, but that is a great analogy.
@@danelmore6553 come on man lighten up. lol.
Someone commented this same thing on the trailer for his latest movie
To define it better I'd say one of those British fantasy adventure books from the 60s (sth like Enid Blyton)
He gives me a feeling of nostalgia even if I’ve never been in that situation. His films just feel like a forgotten memory, or the home I wish I had.
Ify bro
it's because of the colors, the colors he uses are like the ones in old pictures
This is quite late but I wholeheartedly agree. I always feel nostalgic while and after watching his movies.
If wes Anderson directed a horror movie it would be horrifying
Logan Plourde
And equally rediculous
Logan Plourde Even though I’m not a fan of his work, I actually want to see that.

Make the monster a dog woth a disease and giant eyes
Jeez that dog scared me in that movie
@@ddxenn
I am guessing it's swedish?
You can recognize his films in under a minute
Psh, in under 10 seconds more like.
under 5 seconds
I can tell in a zeptosecond.
All I need is a single frame.
In a second actually, the cinematography is very obvious
People who say Wes is purely style over substance is simply wrong. I absolutely adore him
Opinions =/ facts. They cannot be "simply wrong."
I met him on a plane once. Cool guy.
Wow :O I would panic so much if I met him, I'd love to though 😍
Kayleigh Vowles
Yeah, he was chill. You wouldn’t think he’s famous if you met him and didn’t know who he was.
Wow, I love it when celebrities stay humble!
I've always loved how modular and methodic his movies are, yet you can see how organic everything feels. Describing his scenarios as dollhouse really nailed it. It's a weird ride, but this is what makes his movies some of my favorites. Great video.
Organic? His films are some of the most in-organic being made. They're completely facades, formulaic, and over-wrought.
I agree, I can't handle his style it's too distracting for me to watch the movie. I understand how some other people may like it but I can't stand it.
My favorite Wes Anderson staple is his use of abrupt violence. Gets me every time.
Isle of dogs kidney transplant go brr
Eg, Deputy Kovacs getting his fingers chopped off!

HIs color palette, soundtrack, font, props, costume...I hope he continues to make films for many years to come. Love you Screenprism!
This is the first video I've seen that goes beyond the aesthetics of Anderson's filmmaking style and dives into the characters and the stories.
Moonrise Kingdom was the first Wes Anderson film I ever saw. It's still my favorite. Maybe it's because he introduced me to a world of essential myth and imagination I had never experienced before. the first time is usually the best.

you're so so right about that. my first wes experience was also with moonrise kingdom: i still watch it every time i feel like everything is too real.
That one has a special place in my heart too, although it’s hard to pick a favorite. I also really loved the Grand Budapest Hotel.
@@cherylwoodward The Grand Budapest Hotel was an masterpiece when I watched it the first time six years ago.
"My first" was The Darjeeling Limited (similar sibling dynamics) which prolly remains my favourite, but Moonrise Kingdom shines as the love story I never had.

Who came here after seeing trailer for The French Dispatch? I believe it is in running for the most West Anderson film ever made.
Got that impression from the trailer and I'm so excited for it

Keep up with the “You know your watching if” segment. They are absolutely brilliant and have taught me a lot.
I absolutely adore Wes. Anybody who says he’s simply style over substance normally don’t notice the underlying depth behind the fancy visuals.
Wes Anderson is a true story teller.
Yes, I agree wholeheartedly.

You know your watching a Wes Anderson film if . . .
The characters are starring into YOUR SOUL
ALL of these films are great, but KIDDOS, if you haven't seen Rushmore, just... please. Go do it. Especially if you're in high school. Especially RIGHT NOW.
Max Fischer: I like your nurse's uniform, guy.
Dr. Peter Flynn: These are O.R. scrubs.

ugh rushmore is the worst in my opinion, too cringy.
oh yes! i LOVE Rushmore and my High School was used :)
@@COMMODOOSA I didn't say I didn't like because of the actions of a character, I don't like it because of how the director framed those actions and the story that the creator was trying to tell.

he creates chaos in harmony and symmetry in the most entertaining way. seems like his works are just parody, skit or play-funny, lightweight and filled with cleverness. puns’ timing are impeccable and pretentiously fine countered by unforgivingly rude punchlines.
"Why not be the best version of ourselves?" Well said.
Pretty interesting how Anderson plays with the dysfunctional concept. Because dysfunctional doesn’t always mean unloving, hateful, violent or just downright miserable.
One of the few directors who’s entire filmography I love. 💙🧡
I love the use of Bowie's music in The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou. I haven't seen that in a while. I have to go find it somewhere on the internet now.
Seu Jorge did a marvelous work, was a excellent choice!
Netflix! Netflix has it online now!
You can buy Seu Jorge's album with is all Bowie songs sung in Portugeuse with only acoustic guitar accompaniment.
I was expecting this video. Great job girls.
Now, please, please, do one about David Fincher.
Seems your two favorite directors are my two favorite directors? :D
Yeah do one on him
Fridges, man
Mandy C. Yeah😁.
YES I'VE BEEN ASKING FOR SO LONG DOOOO THE FINCH MAN! DAVID FINCHER!!!!!!!!!!!
He is truly one of the best storytellers. He brings great joy to filmmaking and the audience can tell.

I’ve never even scene one of his films, but I can immediately recognize if it’s his movie just by a scene shot
YYAYAY!!!! I'm the one that asked about Wes! Thank you thank you!!
WA’s soundtrack choices aren’t just deep cuts from the 60s and 70s-they’re almost always from bands or artists who are classic British mods or who at least went through a mod phase.

And drum solos! He always has a drum solo
If he redoes Quadrophenia, hope it includes captions. The first one was incomprehensible. They were speaking English? 😢
I enjoy an analysis of Wes Anderson Films almost as much as watching actual Wes Anderson films :)
This was very well done. It is so full packed with insightful information tha I had to stop and rewind several times to the it all in. And whoever narrated this has a compelling voice. Great job all around! *Subscribed*

My favorite Wes Anderson movie is Fantastic Mr. Fox, with Rushmore and Aquatic Life following.
Grand Budapest will always be my favorite ... The rich, colorful world filled with quirky characters that are formed within a captivating and whimsical style of storytelling... To me this all adds up to a truly unbeatable combination taking movies to a whole other level... No one else can construct a truly good film quite like those of Wes Anderson... For me his style redefines cinema.
His movies are my spirit animal 😍
The Darjeeling Limited is so underrated.
That was "my first"... I didn't even knew who Wes Anderson was... I didn't even knew what hit me...
Stop you had me at Wes Anderson

I absolutely love independent films and he is one of my favorite director.
The color theme,art style .. Seems more like the visual equivalent of reading a great book

You know it's Screenprism if the content is serious and thoughtful.❤
Keep it up ladies.
Wes Anderson movies are some of the best
I personally ADORE his style
Another recurring thing in his movies is the dark underlining of the characters' eyes, such as Margot Tenenbaum, Suzy Bishop, Ash in Fantastic Mr. Fox, and even Atari in Isle of Dogs
Great! detailed analysis of Anderson films 🎬 Good work 👍👏
you have done a great job analysing Wes Anderson's movie!
I love Wes Anderson films so mush ❤they are so amazing to look at
The theme of children acting like adults makes me believe that Wes Anderson should adapt the book “The Doldrums.” If you read the book you know what I’m talking about.
I just read the blurb and I'm thinking that a symmetrical shot of an iceberg with a grandparent on each side trying to keep it balanced is something I need to see now.
