Wes Anderson Movies + text Post Part 1/11 (or until I give up)

The Darjeeling Limited Edition

when i came out of the theatre i told my dad: i don’t know, man. the alien didn’t have a motive. why did he do that?

but like then i remember when my grandpa died a few days prior. and it was so strange, cause i knew it would happen some day (i think and talk a lot about death). like aliens are for sure out there. but then when it actually happens. we see aliens or death for the first time. it’s so weird. like the alien doesn’t have a motive, he doesn’t make sense. because it’s so absurdly random. people sometimes just die and sometimes an alien takes a rock from you.

also the way the young people wanted to talk so badly about the alien. and the parents/grownups didn’t let them. it reminds me of the mother in the darjeeling limited, how she told her sons to just move on without helping them in a meaningful way

First and foremost I’m so sorry for your loss

But this is a great take/analysis because I agree that it’s part of the movies theme of grief. Sometimes, bad things happen. What can you do? You live through them. The residents of Asteroid City live through the alien as Jones lives through his grief over Conrad’s death.

But I also think it’s a great point for people who say that Wes Anderson’s work isn’t the same as it was before or it’s detached, because really it’s not. Wes Anderson’s work has always dealt with themes of grief or sadness. Royal Tenenbaums, Life Aquatic, Darjeeling, even Grand Budapest. Wes Anderson also has something to say about human nature and how we deal with it.

Not arguing with a man who has big puppy dog eyes. Whatever you say Gorgeous 🫶
