Wes Anderson!

I’ve been watching theories and explanations of ‘Asteroid City’ and in my opinion the views that people have are completely wrong, so I’m going to explain the meaning of it, or what the meaning is in my perception.

Now, I’ll start off with the fact that one person claimed that Wes Anderson films have little meaning and value aesthetics above the story, which he’s tried to counteract by making a purposefully meaningless story in Asteroid.

No. Just no.

Every Wes Anderson film, as I see it, is used to display a certain type of relationship. The Grand Budapest Hotel shows the friendship between the Mr Gustave and Zero. The Darjeeling limited shows the relationship of the three brothers. Moonrise kingdom shows the relationship of the two children in their young love, I could go on with every film but you get the point.

The person was correct that yes, this film is slightly different to the others, it doesn’t display the relationship between people as they’re together, it more shows how relationships are everlasting through feelings of grief. Particularly the grief of the actors for the playwright, which is represented through their characters.

It’s true that the film has a sense of meaningless to it, but this is used to display the meaningless feel of death, how no one can comprehend the incomprehensible. They try to understand the alien, which even we don’t know anything about and they never can, much like how us as humans will never truly understand grief.

The meaningless is reflected through the character of Augie (played by Jason Schwartzman) who tells the director that he still doesn’t understand the play. It is no coincidence that this is also the person who had a relationship with the playwright, who died. These two are interlinked because much like the way that he doesn’t understand the okay, he doesn’t understand the grief that he’s feeling.

What I’m trying to say is that Wes Anderson has clearly thought out his films thoroughly and filled them with meaning and to say that every film is entirely meaningless is completely wrong. Rant over.

New chapter of my Kendall, Shiv and Roman Roy Darjeeling Limited fic is out! This chapter was so fun to write as it's so chaotic

Fic Summary:

But it would be nice to gain something out of all the hurt. To actually visit a place and take it all in, not have it be the backdrop to yet another business deal. Another chance to have her brothers back. To have that small slant of light shine again. And if an impromptu trip to India to join her broken brothers in finding her other broken brother was the only way to do it, then Shiv's gonna do it.

Kendall, Roman and Shiv Roy reunite on the Darjeeling Limited train, for the first time since they sold Waystar to GoJo, in order to track down their brother Connor who’s gone AWOL

(Aka this is The Darjeeling Limited but the whitmans are swapped out with the Roys)
