I will be fixing that soon, look forward to more reviews on Anderson's films. <br /><br />But The Life Aquatic is actually one of his most beautiful films. It's filled with his intelligent characters and beautiful imagery. It's a bit more serious in a way, but never completely, there's always this strange sense of comedy to his films. Characters are serious, but they come off as funny none the less. The Life Aquatic is a very touching film dealing with death and acceptance, highly recommend it. Will be posting a full review of it soon!Franco Macabrohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10994905312221715861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8293273378239831747.post-1870256518791669122012-07-13T12:48:40.106-07:002012-07-13T12:48:40.106-07:00Hit me with your take on Anderson's the Life A...Hit me with your take on Anderson's the Life Aquatic!?<br /><br />I need to find time to catch up with your wrok here.

Everything here just looks beautiful and works out perfectly that it easily has to on my list for best of the year so far.

It's told from the childs perspective, so he might find it interesting in that sense, plus Anderson makes everything look beautiful, hope he likes it! <br /><br />Quirky is Wes Anderson's middle name. Hey Gordon, I highly recommend you check out The Royal Tenenbaums and Rushmore, to me those are his finest films, I always have trouble deciding which I like best of the two, they are both the cream of the crop. And now this one....so I guess now I have THREE Anderson films I truly truly love.Franco Macabrohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10994905312221715861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8293273378239831747.post-33504859443491843302012-06-20T06:17:30.499-07:002012-06-20T06:17:30.499-07:00This was a nice surprise this morning.

I'm glad you covered it.<br /><br />I'm very curious about it and really want to take my teenage boy to it.<br /><br />I'm assuming it would be something he could enjoy?<br /><br />Let me add my friend that my son and I are both really intrigued eventhough it looks overly quirky.<br /><br />I'm also not an Anderson connoisseur so I have no barometer for this kind of film.<br /><br />Thanks Fran! sffSFFhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04256589316922398158noreply@blogger.com
