Is this a good watch? 8,1 on iMDB
It's pretty good and an 8/10 is a very fair score.

I liked it. Especially the way it was filmed. If you are OCD you are going to love it.
>>64707999
It's fun and sometimes even clever and bonus oints for some literature and historical references in an stylized form. But ultimately it's one of Anderson's weakest movies. Still worthwhile.
If you like bittersweet Wes Anderson movies then it is perfect.
>>64707999
it's the greatest achievement in directing, sound mixing and costume design of the last 15 years, what do you think ?
its good if you know nothing about film and are easily impressed
>>64708115
OP here. At the moment I personally need an entertaining watch to get my mind off things, no drama and no depressing shit. What do you mean by bittersweet? I know nothing about the film
I've thought about watching A Beautiful Mind too, another movie I don't know much about with good iMDB score. Some action flick would be an option too but I'd rather have something relatively deep.
it's wes anderson.. you're not going to find anyone that says its bad. its just neutral middle of the road "artsy" stuff. youre risking nothing by watching his stuff, especially his newer ones. yes, its good i guess.
It made me laugh so yes
THOSE FUCKERS.
Not as good as the life aquatic

it's a fun watch. it's a little melancholy but a good comedy none the less. it'll get your mind off things, there's no deep sad plot or anything it's quite light hearted
Every single post so far is actually agreeing and saying something positive about a movie. I can't believe it.
its a 3/5 imo
pretty good
>>64708225
Deep but not depressing? That is not easy.
But it sounds like you might really enjoy pic related if you are in a mood like you described
>>64708466
You know it won't last senpai
>>64708225
you'll be fine, just watch it
>>64708225
A beautiful mind is far more depressing, you'll get plenty of laughs from budapest hotel desu - it is very entertaining with just a light thread of melancholy
Nope its a shocking disappointment. The most prevalent criticism of Wes Anderson's oeuvre is that he puts more effort into the his intricate dioramas than writing, plot, characters, etc. I don't find that to be an accurate criticism of his other movies, but it definitely fits here. All the sets are very ordered and detailed, to an absurd and frankly off-putting level. There's next to no character development in the movie; characters are whisked in and out before we get to know anything about them really. Kovacs has a cat and he's a lawyer. Agatha is a pastry-chef and has a Mexico-shaped birthmark. So what? Why should we care? The characters we do get any sort of real characterization of are either one-note baddies or one-note dandies (i.e. M. Gustave). Everyone is a complete caricature. It's almost funny that Anderson's two previous movies had much more rounded characters, and they starred animated foxes and children, respectively. The script is absolutely atrocious, flitting between sickening sentimentality and sudden-vulgarity-is-funny-right-guys?. It's also, tellingly, the first script written entirely by Anderson.
Perhaps most infuriating was Wes Anderson's use of emotional manipulation in the movie . He uses such things as the hotel being oppressed by the SS - sorry the "ZZ" - and Agatha being killed by the "Prussian grippe" as cheap methods of sympathy while also using them as stupid jokes. "ZZ" stands for "zig-zag," a joke that seems very characteristic of his sense of humour, but one that is totally inappropriate, especially given that the hotel isn't persecuted for any reason other than Nazis are mean and do bad things and are short-hand for bad guy. The tone-deaf preciousness is echoed in the "Prussian grippe" name; it's funny because the Spanish flu killed 50 million people? This sort of thing is practically unprecedented in Wes Anderson's movies, but then again there hasn't been one so hollow thus far so either.

The life aquatic > darjeeling > bottle rocket > rushmore > tenenbaums >>> Budapest > moonrise >>> fox
it's a patrician's kino, very interesting chase scenes.

The infuriatingness of his quasi-ideology doesn't end there either. I found M. Gustave to be a pretty terrible character, and yet the movie doesn't really try to satirize him so much as it lionizes him as a noble spirit from a bygone age or some such bs. He talks about treasuring things like "civilization" and the way things are supposed to be and Romantic poetry and "purity" in women which just makes me want to throw up. It just kind of encapsulates all the shitty things about the way Wes Anderson thinks into one truly unlikeable character.
Honestly, this movie was so bad I'm having paranoid thoughts that I don't actually like the rest of his movies. Is The Royal Tenenbaums actually any good? If I rewatch Rushmore will it seem just as bad?
1/5
>Come into thread expecting "I enjoy the movies of wes anderson" memes

not everything has to be a meme my friend. the dude came innocently enough asking if a film was good. he's having a hard time with something in his life and we helped him make a decision

Next time you try and pretend you're a local here pick a film that doesn't pander to the reddit mindset, star wars tourist.

One of the films was called Big Bucharest Hotel. It's sort of like 'Allo 'Allo the movie. ... It looked like the sort of thing you have to physically hold me down and force me to watch. And even, I'd be tried to forget it while it was happening.
