THE LIFE AQUATIC WITH STEVE ZISSOU (2004): A CAPTIVATING ADVENTURE
           “This is an adventure.”
           A movie within a movie. For me, it was the best Wes Anderson experience I ever had, in spite of being one of the most underrated of his filmography. The adventure in this particular film is about family. Family is an adventure, not only Zissou’s journey with his son, but also Zissou Team in Belafonte the ship, in search for Esteban’s killer – which, by the way, is another thing that I really was fond of: all the aquatic life was beautifully crafted in stop-motion, giving us the impression of a fantastic world only seen by the Zissou crew.
           Another element that really made this film unique was the soundtrack. Wes Anderson showed us his love for David Bowie in his own way: Brazilian singer and actor Seu Jorge covered some of Bowie’s most brilliant songs only with his guitar, and it was so natural and spontaneous and beautiful. I love the way Wes Anderson puts the melancholy in his films, especially in this one, in which you can see the bitterness of Zissou, at the same time he still has the determination of a child when it comes to his own films and the Zissou team.
           Besides all the technical perfections of the director’s trademark, one thing that is worth mentioning are the costumes. Willem Dafoe could get into his role only by wearing that funny uniform (he was an amazing Dafriend). Anyway, all actors and actresses did a marvelous job in this masterpiece about family, unity and self-knowledge. Now, it’s up to Wes Anderson the continuation of this adventure: “The Life Aquatic with Intern#1”.

John Wick
So, I watched another film. This time the 2014 Keanu Reeves film. Here are some thoughts I had... spoiler alert
Not even 5 min in and his gf is dead. Can't Keanu Reeves catch a break, he seems like such a nice dude, why do we have to torment him so? Willem Dafoe catching up on an old friend at his partners funeral... 100 on him masterminding her cause of death. Dead gf has sent him a dog from beyond the grave. That's #goals right fucking there! A dog is much better than some letters leading the living to banging other dudes, PS I Love You could've learned a lot from this. How did she plan sending him the dog? Do the company know its from a dead person? Did she order it for a specific date knowing she'd be dead by then? Or was it "If you see my obituary find the cutest puppy and send it?" Now he's driving crazy after a Russian tried to buy his car, like I hope that dog is strapped in while you're doing donuts pal. RUSSIANS KILLED THE DOG! CAN. NOT. DEAL. THAT WAS HIS DEAD GIRLFRIENDS PRESENT!!! FUCK YOOOOOUUUU!!! John Wick taking the bus to find his car, so pissed off he doesn't care about the bloodstains on his tshirt. Russian dude talking about the dog like it's amusing. LET ME FUCKING KILL HIM FOR YOU JOHN! I'LL DO IT RIGHT NOW. Russians dad (Viggo) knows shit is fucked up. That "Oh" was perfect. John's now breaking up the concrete floor of his house. Still got the same tshirt on. See if you have a box of guns that you want to hide beneath a concrete floor in your house, how do you pour concrete so that it doesn't get in the cracks and seal the box up? Is there a company that does this for you, or is that "Badass class 101"? That's a big hole left in your floor now John. I suppose you don't really care about the state of your house when you're on a revenge mission. I like this policeman. He knows what's up. Old man has a company that will clean up bloodstains and remove dead bodies. I knew there was a market for this stuff! Especially after killing twelve people, all that dragging bodies around would take a lot of effort. Cleaning a sniper rifle on a baby grand piano. Classy af. Willem Dafoe I like your style. Hotel ...exclusively for hitmen/women? For every niche business there's a full market and economy built up around it. I wanna know what those gold coins are! Nice interaction with the bouncer. This guy may be a killing machine but not indiscriminantly. Not like russian pricks who SHOOT PEOPLES FUCKING DOGS!! #stillragin Two bodies shot on the dancefloor and people are still dancing around them. Nothing stops a good rave. Cute girl is shooting up the hotel, not cool Perkins. From now on you're gonna have to find your own hideout with an on-call doctor. Concierge asking if he needs a dinner reservation. He knows the lingo, so convenient and thought out first class service. Must charge an absolute mint though You'd think staying at a hotel for hitmen no-one would care about calling in any noise complaints? John offering a guy a coin for doing a job, so they can be given or earned and are a recognised currency within the community, interesting. Perkins casually dislocating a finger like "no biggie". I know it's probably standard escape tactics but surely you would still feel some emotion. Another mess made, management really will not like that. You're definately gonna have to stay somewhere else on your next hit. Casually shooting the priest and churchgoers - Mr Wick gives no fucks. The amount of headshots he get in this movie is unreal! Finally a "trained shooter" who actually gets the results they are meant to. Bad guys have Chervolet's in this film?? I thought Batman V Superman established them as FBI cars? Viggo has John tied up and is running around taunting him like he doesn't know an escape is inevitable. Here's a tip, you are the bad guy, you've captured the goodies. You kill people all the time. One bullet and your troubles would be over. He will escape and kill you just because you had to showboat. John confirming what we knew all along - we don't care about the car that was stole. This is all for the dog! Willem's helping! Yay! Does he just want the reward for himself, or has he secretly always been good? Was the first shot at the hotel just to alert him to Perkins? Is Willem Dafoe really Willem DaFRIEND?? (What I did there, do you see it?) John now has remote detonators on cars. Don't ask when or how he got so close. Shh. Don't question. Explosions. Hotel gave him a shiny nice car. Now THAT is going above and beyond for your customers. No Viggo, you don't blame Willem Dafoe for your son dying. If your son had been SUCH A DOG KILLING PRICK HE’D STILL BE ALIVE. And the old man is called again. Clearly the only person that will actually make a profit in this. Ha, hotel calling Perkins like "Yo bitch you left a mess, you owe us a shitload and we're not letting you stay again!" Oh wait no, they just wanted to find her on GPS so they could have her shot by several people all at once. That is one way to take care of rule breakers. John's sport car fucking up the big ass five door truck and Viggo is smoking and drinking, laughing like "Yeah I know I'm fucked now. I might as well enjoy the show" Oh man John you JUST GOT that car man. So, so many bullet holes in it now. Hmm Keanu Reeves fighting in the rain. Sorry Viggo, you're no Agent Smith this isn't gonna last half as long. John's at a vet stealing drugs and stealing a dog like "My gf wanted me to have a dog, I'll pick this time and now people know not to fuck with my animals!"
