Review of The Royal Tenenbaums (2001) by Rod S — 03 Mar 2018
Im not a huge fan of Wes Anderson movies as a genre. I think they're playful, artistic, but I often feel that the stories are pointless and lack dimension and emotion. Not in this case, though! Royal Tenenbaums I think did a great job of handling real emotion with the classic Anderson drawl. A treat!
Although, I wonder, does a Wes Anderson movie always require that the characters stay so static? So one dimensional? always representing a single characteristic like "a son of a bitch" "a businessman" "a depressed beauty". Its funny to me that it works for Anderson movies, but in other instances it deemed a negative attribute. Maybe thats the allure of his movies.. They seem to defy the classic screenplay requirements.
