Viewing Notes

Rented from Redbox since Tonia hadn’t seen it. Lots of fun to watch but I really enjoyed it more on the big screen. On the TV it just seemed like it was harder to appreciate some of the smaller details (like Dafoe’s knuckle rings for instance).

Regardless, a lot of fun to revisit. Actors must love doing Wes Anderson movies because the roles are so fantastical and they can drop all notions of trying to match their performances to anything in real life.
