Viewing Notes
Was too tired to fully engage and appreciate this movie but I did enjoy it. This is basically The Avengers for Wes Anderson, his own WACU. I was distracted by noting the usual actors not in this movie: Schwartzman, Brody, Swinton, Norton, etc.
Cute doubling this with BALLERINA because of the grenade souvenirs Korda gives to everyone. Also love getting quicksand back into our movies!
During this WA film in particular I kept thinking of the tweet my buddy Josh posted about WA and his films, something like “Anderson will just use a weathered old baseball glove as landline phone and you will believe it.” His tweet was better written and on point but that was gist of it. Everything in WA’s films are so tactile that any item could become another item.
