Wes Anderson Binge Watch

       The Title of the post says it all. I’m currently binge watching Wes Anderson’s movies, meaning the one’s he’s written (even co-written) and directed. Currently, before the writing of this post, I’ve seen Bottle Rocket, The Grand Budapest Hotel, and, of course, Fantastic Mr. Fox. From these 3 movies, I’ve been able to distinguish some common traits especially the wackiness of his films, yet I like how they don’t really delve into become comedies. I’m really interested in writing a few reviews for all of these, so I think that might be done in the upcoming days, so stay tuned for those.

       And well, I’ve been watching these in order of their release date. I enjoy watching movies from directors in this way simply because you’re able to see them develop and master their style and vision. And even in some cases, I really like how at one point in their career, they just do the opposite of what you expect from them. So the ones I have left to watch are Rushmore, The Royal Tenenbaums, Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou, The Darjeeling Limited, and Moonrise Kingdom. I’ve seen only one trailer for each of these, and I must say, I am like freaking excited. I also think it’s interesting how in many movies of Wes Anderson’s we get to see Bill Murray and Owen Wilson. Being new to movies, I never would have associated Owen Wilson with some of the movies he’s done with Wes Anderson since I’ve always seen him as the pretty boy who’s only in romantic comedies. I like how I’m currently being proven wrong. As for Bill Murray, I think I’ve only seen him in only a couple of movies, so I don’t really know much about him. But well, we’ll see how this binge goes. Starting with Rushmore tonight, having just finished watching Bottle Rocket, which I really enjoyed. Hopefully I’ll get to The Royal Tenenbaums and Life Aquatic tonight.
