Why do some people on here enjoy this guy's movies? Ive been tricked by /tv/ into watching two of his movies based on them frequenting lists of good movies.
Watched Fantastic Mr Fox and Life Aquatic of Steve Zissou, and they are both plagued by the same shit.
>actors obviously directed to underact emotions
>sarcastic quipping and dry """humour""" that takes emotion out of every scene
>cringeworthy emotional scenes that fail completely because of the above points
>meme "continuous long cuts" that arent impressive at all, and even feature cuts that he tries to hide
I know the autism word gets thrown around a lot here but the way he directs genuinely seems autistic. Why do some people like his movies?
Ive also downloaded Grand Budapest Hotel. Is it the same shit or worth watching?

People mainly like him for his aesthetic more than anything imo. If it's not your cup of tea then move along but he is competent filmmaker with a unique style regardless of what anyone thinks of him.
moonrise kingdom and grand budapest are pretty comfy just for the landscape alone

this desu. im not a huge fan but his movies are visually pleasing, and they are far from trash. just watch them for what they are.
>Filmmaker: Wes Anderson?
>White: I think I like his sensibility. I love that he works in wide-screen. I love him for that. That’s the format I prefer. I’m always excited to see wide-screen films. It just seems to make it a little more special. The image is big and embracing. And he’s got good craft and sense of humor. He seems to care about people and the image too.

Why are you starting with the awful ones? I've never seen Fantastic Fox, but GBH and Life Aquatic receive extreme overpraise. Personally, I think GBH is one of his worst. You should watch Rushmore and TRTs. If you don't like those two, maybe Wes Anderson isn't for you. Moonrise Kingdom is decent and has a very /tv/ approved scene.

Ive seen this too actually, didnt know it was him. I enjoyed it more than the 2 others. The awkward interpersonal stuff works a lot better with kids because they actually are like that off screen too.
