Really enjoyed it, might be my favorite Wes Anderson, I understand the bad reviews better now because it very much a movie that is a lot of meta commentary and it's direct commentary is pretty much "get it? It's meta!" Which is sold gold

CatstropheWaitress posted:Surprised by this opinion. Eh, I wouldn't say sabotage since the conversation at the end with the actress gives you the payoff while re-enforcing the meta-commentary. I like that it blends both well and I enjoy how much nonsense it has in its commentary on old films, film making, and so on. The singing cowboys and the alien song are a delight. The very end is both wtf nonsense to push the idea of things just happening and you move on while also being a bunch of the characters directly telling you one of the main messages of the film. My previous favorite was Rushmore and I've seen everything except the French Dispatch. I prefer his earlier stuff generally and I felt like everything with the Darjeeling Limited and on were more style over substance while for whatever reason this felt like more of a combo of his earlier and later works into something I really enjoyed. Also tbh the model work and puppet work really help me love it. Edit: In regards to your earlier comment too, I think by the time we reached the climax of the play I wasn't invested in the story of the play but in the story of the movie and so that didn't bother me much.
