I did a cut of this movie with only the “Asteroid City” movie and none of the actors, writers, directors, backstories, production cards, or narration. It came out to an exact 80 minutes of a tight (if not sorta bland) movie.
For me, the film is very bland itself. Aside from the nice backgrounds and aesthetics, the story is very poor. It didn’t keep me engaged. I think its a problem with Mr. Anderson itself, his style got the main character of his films, the story is secondary. I noticed it in his last films, especially in ‘The French Dispatch’. For me, he created the recipe and the recipe became the problem: the films become bland, the style is there but is almost tiring to watch a film from him, seeing the same techniques and formulas over and over again.
Oops. I didn’t realise it was you. Well, it’s not for me to say what belongs in your Community, but I prefer it when people go through a film to find the rare shot that’s so well composed it could stand on its own as a painting, but for Wes Anderson films, it’s all so artfully composed in the first place, it feels like he’s done half the work for you.
Hello :) I understand your point and completely agree with it! Thats the point of the community and that’s what I tried to make here. I agree is artfully composed, and I tried to take one frame different from the other ones in the film, I think this is it. It would be obvious if I posted a frame with the orange rocks, wich dominates the film, so I thought this was the best one :)
