      i saw it eight times in the theater. there's a lot of interconnection .
      my opinion is, the entire story is a DREAM that the alien has.

    I can’t even imagine being an actor on this project and asking for directions on line delivery and state of mind of the character!
    “Ok, so your character is playing an actor in a play that feels like a movie, and your character at times doesn’t know how they should be acting or why. But they’re not confused per se. And then when your character is on set in the black and white documentary, you’ll play them with better line delivery and emotion, but again they’ll be uncertain of the meaning of everything and if they’re even doing it right.” So the real actor has to play an actor who plays an actor who doesn’t fully grasp the meaning of it all. Ie, we’re all just actors trying to figure out the meaning of life, and if we’re doing it right and feeling the right things.

    • @etyrnal

      is there an inference that Ned kills himself or jumps off a cliff in life aquatic? I was researching the idea that every wes anderson movie mentions, infers, or has the idea of suicide embedded -- whether literal, or figurative - in them... i know it's there in asteroid city, royal tenenbaums, moonrise kingdom, bottle rocket, grand budapest...

    I'm genuinely surprised people think this movie was bad. This movie was quite literally the best movie i saw all year.
    Wes Anderson's employment of literary devices was spectacular
    The layers are the icing on the cake.

      This film is very layered, quite literally it jumps in and out of a play, a set, a play describing the play. And the characters are actors playing actors. Played BY real actors lol. It was great

      @@baby.goblin that’s the thing, the layers are too many and too thin, in pursuit of depth Wes has come out the other end with something that feels too thin. Almost feels like an indulgence of his sometimes, felt the same for life aquatic, makes the story secondary, and the characters not developed enough as they’re just squeezed in with these frankly Waldo like items to spot on rewatch. In my opinion, Wes shines most when the story is primary, and everything else is beautiful scenery to draw you into the world in which it happens.

    • @obscure.reference
      @obscure.reference Год назад +2

      it’s not that complicated, the actual movie is a play and the framing device focuses on the writer of the play, the film is informing you about the fictional writer of the film and probably wes anderson. the reason it doesn’t all land on first viewing is just that everyone speaks in a flat, brisk voice and it winds up feeling somewhat hypnotic, making it difficult to unpack the implications of the rapid fire dialogue before there’s another joke or visual gag to distract you.
