the darjeeling limited

So I am not the fastest at getting to movies. I am often caught up in other day to day activities. After all I don't live in a basement of my parents house. I am jealous if you do, as many of my friends are, but I am also thankful of my freedom. I also have been almost consistently employed, or busy with something big in my life.

Anyway, I finally got around to watching Wes Anderson's last big movie. While the reviews were not spectacular, even from my wes anderson fan friends, I must admit, it was sweet in my heart. The movie seemed to try to hard to be the royal tennenbaums. The colors were brighter and bolder, perhaps that was the problem. The characters seem to not function as they should, but the movie definitely left an impression. I think the movie was great because it made me think. I constantly was asking why? what does this mean? what message is he trying to convey with this song or those colors? What is happening in this shot? So perhaps the directing and even the storyline could have been better, it seemed to me to bring about something that was needed. At least in me, Inspiration. Some days it comes and some days it doesnt. I guess that is the curse to having a fickle muse.
