| Posted by: The Heart Collector at January 25, 2008, 3:31 pm | | Topic: wes anderson is a character of his own movies Forum: JoBlo | | i noticed something i thought was funny/weird. y'know how wes anderson gets bitched at recently because his movies are too elaborate? like, ever since life aquatic (and to a lesser extent, with darjeeling), people complain that it's all too fakey and that the costumes and details are so excessive? i was watching the dvds for the life aquatic and the royal tenenbaums. they both have documentaries about the creation of the movies. if you see the documentary for the royal tenenbaums, wes looks relatively normal. he has a normal haircut (a shitty one, tbqh), wears regular-ass clothes, sneakers, etc. he wears the odd blazer or what not but he looks like a normal human being. HOWEVER if you look at the documentary for the life aquatic, he's always wearing suits or jackets/matching pants, with nice scarves, always looks very "dressed" (like he took his sweet ass time to dress himself and match it), has a very nice and distinctive haircut, etc. then i read on his wikipedia that he regularly gets attention regarding his suits and that all his suits/clothes are made by one tailor. I PROPOSE that wes anderson thinks he's a character of his own movies. he 'uniforms' himself much like his latter-era movies. life aquatic and the darjeeling limited aren't "wes anderson treading ground", they are the transformation of a human being from 'planet earth guy' to 'guy living in his own fantasy'. (IN TERMS OF AESTHETICS, I MEAN. I'M SURE HE'S STILL INTERNALLY THE SAME DUDE). |
