      Wes Anderson movies are both original and not at all original. The stories are original, but the style is always the same. That said, I love his style, but recently his movies have almost parodies of themselves. I haven’t enjoyed his latest stuff.

      And it is setting up to be a box office flop. Wes Anderson is apparently the only one who is allowed to make original scripts and even that seems to be wearing thin.

        Judging movies by how much money they made some executive is the most uninteresting and capitalist way of thinking about films and stories.

          The conversation is literally why these movies don’t get made. And it’s because the average movie viewer is uncultured swine who wants to turn their brain off for two hours.

          I honestly don’t see any AES countries spending big money on art pieces either.
