Blue in Wes Anderson Films
Wes Anderson's films feature strategic use of the color blue, which serves many purposes, such as symbolism, aesthetics, and emotional resonance. This deliberate choice significantly contributes to the unique visual language of his movies, shaping the mood, tone, and atmosphere of his films. Anderson frequently employs blue to characterize specific locations or characters within his narratives. For instance, he consistently associates the color blue with Max, which is evident in his trademark blazer and the production design surrounding him. Anderson sometimes juxtaposes blue against other colors to create striking contrasts. In "The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou," the crew's blue uniforms contrast sharply with their red beanies. Moreover, blue can evoke specific emotions in the audience. In "The Royal Tenenbaums," Anderson prominently uses blue in Richie's suicide scene to convey emotional turmoil and isolation, intensifying the moment's impact.

The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar.
"Good evening, Mr. Sugar," said, well, said this post. Whose job it was to never forget a face. Not least your most lovely visage.
You must forgive us. We find ourselves in something of a straight-faced frenzy for all things whimsical, symmetrical, deadpan, and meticulously crafted—like, by way of example, Wes Anderson's take on the lesser-known Roald Dahl short story: The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar. It features a pleasing color palette, an ensemble cast, a parable of spiritual growth, this idiosyncratic director's visual inventiveness, distinctive style (such style), and Benedict Cumberbatch with a delightful mustache. At this point, we would say something like what's not to like? or need we say more? But why would we say this. There is nothing not to like here. There is nothing else that needs to be said. It's Benedict Cumberbatch—with a mustache.
We relent. If you really remain unconvinced, we will make the case by sewing together all of the above (the palette, the style ((such style)), Cumberbatch, etc.) and present what we consider one of the finest shots ever put to film. Exhibit A.
If that doesn't persuade you, perhaps we can sweeten the deal with this: The Benedict Cumberbatch Name Generator.
