:praise-it:
How? because it's about "journalists" and because modern real life journalists are stupid and lib these fictional, not real, bascially cartoon character Wes Anderson journalist characters in a movie set during a fictional 1970s France must therefore also be libs? You know there have been other movies about journalists before, right? Like hell, you've got The Post sitting right here in front of you, talk about that movie if you want to talk about a bs lib movie about journalists, not the pleasant little exercise in style and aesthetic that this movie is.
Probably because the sub-plot of the youth revolution being about wanting to have more sex with girls, the journalism wankery & the whole prison plot being used for comedic relief
wes anderson released a new movie and i didn't even realize it.
i generally like his shit, despite its numerous shortcomings. Grand Budapest Hotel was a masterpiece.
What makes it the most liberal movie ever? I'd say it's the same sort of leftism as its subject matter: American intellectuals of the mid century who probably got harassed by McCarthy but weren't as cool as they could have been.
Eh, I don't think it is exceptionally liberal. It is liberal in the same way liberalism is hegemonic. I think some of the vignettes are fine and it is definitely nowhere near the worst Wes Anderson movie. The only thing I did get mad about is making an mid 20th century newspaper based in Kansas, but then portray Kansas as cornfields full of Rubes. It is a good choice making the newspaper based out of Kansas, but because as residue of the Populist movement, Kansas was punching above its weight in good, radical journalism.
i fucking hated this film so much it pissed off the people i watched it with
its like mad sacrilige they made a french new wave homage SO FUCKING LIB. :monke-rage:
in fact its not even homage its parody. ineffective and disgusting, speaking only in aesthetic
How can you say it’s the most lib movie ever when Swing Vote (2008) exists?
Holy fuck, the way Anderson makes the James Baldwin type character all chummy with the cops in this movie made me so fucking mad (along with the rest of the movie lol)
This movie was too much. Too many plots, too much information, too much exposition, too much Wes Anderson tweeness
Turned it off 2/3 of the way through (only a 100 minute film, felt like 4 hours) and my brain felt an immediate wave of relief, such a tiresome film
