Saw the video. Stunned at the fearlessness and courage. One fighter with a homemade explosive up against a gang of soldiers who are equipped with the best that US taxpayer money can buy. Now I’m wondering if in a few decades from now there will be a movie similar to Enemy at the Gates but all about Palestinians resisting fascist foot soldiers.

She should be more worried about Indian assassins killing off dissidents living in Canada

With any other president I’d agree but this is Trump. A venal and petty man who wouldn’t think twice before using the country’s soldiers and even nuclear weapons to defend his sense of pride

I strongly recommend starting with bottle rocket and most definitely Rushmore. Both are a good way of easing yourself into the Anderson universe.

Brilliant choice. Ralph Fiennes showing just how brilliant he is but also a lovely surprise to have seen F. Murray Abraham in the film.

With Wes Anderson, I think that he’s found his knack and if it’s pleasing the critics, then he’ll continue. You have some directors such as Ang Lee who can produce works across many genres but I suppose Wes must be doing something right as anyone who is anyone in Hollywood is literally falling head over heels to star in his films.

I honestly hope that we once again see the down to earth Wes Anderson. The French dispatch and asteroid city really threw me off unfortunately. I’m holding out hope for the Phoenician scheme so fingers crossed

You’re absolutely right about AI 😂. Just two years ago when AI kicked off, there were many AI videos of mock Wes Anderson movies. It is sad that the great director himself seems to be using the style in those fakes to make further films. Grand Budapest and Darjeeling limited are two of my favourites as among the comedy there were some dark themes. The shadow of fascism in the former and the injustices of poverty in the latter

Absolutely. His earlier work is far more accessible. I watched asteroid city and felt like maybe I wasn’t intelligent enough to understand the film. Maybe that’s true 😂 but it’s a far cry from the accessible simplicity of his earlier works The royal tenebaums is a good example of brilliant dialogue and an awesome turn from the late Gene Hackman, who stole the film. However, Wes Anderson got really good performances from the rest of the cast

My apologies you’re absolutely right. Lovely film but I could see slight shades of how his future films would turn. Large ensemble casts, idiosyncratic dialogue and a bit too much whimsy. The young cast were brilliant however
