@Zed is dead They could make a ton more money doing Hollywood blockbusters, their pay in these Wes movies are pathetic by industry standards. The truth is, who wouldn't want to be in a Wes Anderson movie? The guy's so talented and cool, and you get to hang out with the best actors around, it must be like a holiday for a lot of them.
Rotten tomatoes has this movie at somewhere around thirty percent approval. The day I saw that was the day I stopped paying attention to anything from rotten tomatoes. I guess Wes Anderson didn't pay off the right people. He should have asked the Disney people who to pay.
I was gonna critique your comment, because I couldn’t believe it to be true. That’s messed up. It has gone up to 56% at least, I suppose it has grown a bit on those lazy critics, who have lost all ability to be awed by anything. They say the pacing is off, what bs! I’ve seen this movie a dozen times and have never been bored. A slow movie might intrigue me, if it has substance, but I rarely rewatch it; Life Aquatic isn’t even close to that category. I don’t love every single Wes Anderson film, but this is him at his absolute best, and I’m glad they fought through the mess and brought us this movie. So many subtle, yet memorable moments and scenes in there. And if you really go with it, it makes you laugh hysterically, be moved and still be delighted by the satirical bits. At least it has well over 80% audience approval.
I saw the film in a theater in NYC during limited release and have to admit that everyone in my group did not like it that much. I was disappointed and now knowing the chaos on set can see that Wes' vision was compromised and rushed. Over the years I have come to enjoy it much more because of Bill Murray's performance.
At the time of its release it wasn’t received well, but as time gone by the reception of it has gotten better. Rotten tomatoes can’t change their ratings but I think we all know it by now that it’s an amazing movie and always has been
It's my go to happy movie. Whenever I feel sad I watch this movie. I gotta feel for Wes Anderson shooting this film with all these seasoned actors and keeping it together.
Well Bill, from my perspective, this film is one of your best ; I understand it was difficult but even though you're a bit older now you must still suffer for your art and I really appreciate it.
Theomite I don't think Bill likes that many people in general. I'd rather meet Willem if I had a chance or choice. Although actors are often still acting on some level when there is a camera rolling.
These four people I regard as being just the absolute best, in their outputs over the years. If Willem, Bill, Jeff or Wes puts out a movie, I am already interested in it.
I love all of Wes Anderson’s films to one degree or another, but this movie is special. You get something new and different out of it every time you watch it. It seems to fit every mood; if you’re sad, happy, it always hits. And the cast is fantastic; I personally think this is Bill Murray’s best work since his “comeback” (basically since “Lost in Transition” and “Rushmore”).
Everything wes does is entertaining. This look back is awesome I can watch and watch them speaking from the the heart. With intestiy. This movie obviously means soo much to all of them. The experience was impressive for them all you can feel it
All of those weird double negative lines by Defoe ..... 'Not if I don't see you first' ...!!! God , I laughed so hard .... Who knew He could handle comedy so well !!!! Love this film ......
hah yeah if the Criteron documentary showcasing just how much Bill HATED much of filming in that tank is anything to go by, Bill's eyeroll seems fitting.
I imagine the people behind the camera just going: ok, Wes, Jeff, we're here to talk about The Life Aquatic, please wait until the camera is off to discuss this wont won't thing.
Dukefrukem Actually, it isn't. There isn't a singular way to say it. My dictionary says [wawnt, wohnt, and wuhnt] are acceptable; and the Macmillian audio dictionary has "wohnt" for both the British and English pronunciations.
bone chill is real! I don’t know the actual scientific action of it and I doubt your bones actually stay cold for months lol but that is what if feels like. We had an insane cold streak in the midwest several years back and my Dad got a very bad flu and was unable to chop wood, the only way to heat his home is with a wood burning stove and it was so cold it need to basically be roaring 24/7. I was trying to be a hero and come over there and chop 2 weeks worth of wood for him in one session. Even during the day it was -15 before wind chill and I bundled up and went out there and chopped for awhile. it was so cold I set a water bottle down and when I went back to take a drink it had frozen in not much time. I got a chill that wouldn’t go away for a week after that
