You can easily spot a Wes Anderson movie. Saturated colors, symmetrical shots, extravagant set design, and so much more. What's your single favorite thing about Wes Anderson films?
Quirky characters
Comedy (told by the camera movement)
Wes Anderson's choice of music was the thing that stuck with me the most.
I love how he plays with our preconceptions and just does the opposite. He’ll take a seemingly polite character and put him in the least polite places. He lures you into a false sense of comfort in with his set, the colors and the ethereal cinematography. But it has such vulgar, deep and dark subject matter. I.e. The Grand Budapest Hotel.
Choice of music, production design and Character’s phsycology
I wonder what the inside of his house looks like
Not symetrical or weird at all I guess
A lot of poo poo and pee pee
Franklin Delano Bluth lol
Dead animals. Quirky family. Bright wallpapers. Who knows?
probably has his house laid out as if it was owned by someone with OCD
I wish Wes Anderson could direct my life
IKR?
That was beautiful, poetic and true. Made me shed a tear. Beautiful.
I wish he could direct This Year This Year has been directed by Darren Aronofsky
That would be such a pretty life
You guys have done Ph.D in giving compliments@Camerin Metrejean The best complimenr ever heard
I hope he does not change his style, for me watching one of his movies feels like coming home after a really long time.
this is so perfectly put. spot on.
That beautiful
Wonderfully said
Tomas Goñi it feels like reading a book in grade school on a rainy day
This comment almost made me cry
patiently awaiting 'The French Dispatch'
impatiently 😐
Is it postphoned?
@@tharindukrishan6789 again yes
still waiting
Patiently indeed
He dresses exactly like the characters in his movies.
More like, the characters in his movies dress like him...a lot like Christopher Nolan too, with his characters dressing like him. These film makers create worlds that mirror them (the directors).
Because his buddies are the characters.
I find his dress-sense sharp and elegant without trying too hard. Reminds me of old Hollywood stars like Gary Cooper, Cary Grant, David Niven and the lot.
And he makes movies about himself. If he wasn't exactly like the kid in Rushmore he at least wanted to be.
His style never ceases to amaze me. One of the best modern directors working today.
Likewise, he has such a unique style and it's always a pleasure to watch!
À
I
@@StudioBinder don't know why people hate that style . I mean that was his style since his filmmaking debut
@@StudioBinder he the illegitimate son of John Hughes in my mind.
Wes Anderson is like really a genious of our time. Every time i see a movie he made it feels like art. Other movies sometimes have those beautifull moments makes them remembered, but Wes's movies are like this from start till the end. Every act is composed perfectly, everything have a meaning. If the scene is at a hotel, it's not just a regular hotel they found. He pours ideas and visuals into that place. I loved two or three Wes movies beofre i even knew they are all made by him. He have the style most modern movies are lack of sadly...
Genius*, genius.
he's going to be remembered in history as one of the greatest directors of all time. his mind is art, and everything he creates is a masterpiece like no other. truly, truly, truly a genius. i'm grateful we get to live in the world with such a director in our time.
@@misojimo2154 I 100% agree. In my opinion, he’s up there with directors like Villeneuve, Wright, and Nolan as some of the best of our time
took the words out of my mouth, Darjeeling Limited was my first experience as a young kid and it heavily imprinted on me having a brother, he captures emotions incredibly well and in a realistic chaotic way i love
Y’all know this mans is 50 years old. I thought he was like 30 something.
He's actually almost 51. Crazy!
WHAT
Whoa, I would not have guessed it!
Happiness'll keep a body young.
He has been making movies for 24 years, he couldn't be 30 something
Like how Anderson looks like a random guy interrupting the shooting process in some scenes
5:44 that is some genius problem solving. Would’ve never guessed that wasn’t a real train.
Thought the same.
Old generic trick they have done that since the silent days far from genius
@@thegreatrainman2336 True. Still, whoever came up with it solved the problem with wit.
@@matiasgoinheix366 they teach these shots in most production design classes at most mojor film schools. But he's a genius for doing something they have been doing since the start of moving picture's. Hype!!!!!!
@@thegreatrainman2336 I was just talking about the solution to the problem. Whoever that came up with it, whenever it was, solved it in a very creative way. That's it. I was admiring that. I love watching these type of things on set.
His filmmaking is so artistic and so exciting to watch. Working on an animated short and videos like this inspire me a lot!!! Great Content!!!
We're glad you like it! Good luck with your short!
Your animated short is going to be awful
@@sirsophisticate4907 jerk alert .
Sir Sophisticate You're attacking someone who is living their dreams because you're afraid to pursue yours.
@@bobsworld615 ok BOBS WORLD LMAO u think I care about what you have to say
This man seems to have a really sweet soul
He's a psychopath.
God damn, all these movies leave a hole in my heart. They will never be filled by another
Hey there, thanks for watching! Feel free to check out the article tied to this video: www.studiobinder.com/blog/wes-anderson-style/ Dives deeper into Wes Anderson's style and movies. Feel free to search through our blog, there are a lot more Wes Anderson content there! Enjoy! ✌🏻
I don’t think one director has influenced my life more. I found his movies at the exact right time in my life.
Same
Don't need to change. They're beautiful, symmetrical movies that have our capacity for kindness at their core.
This presentation is very professional. Good job, StudioBinder.
This short made literally cry. So many good people, sharing their dreams and visions and have the power and strength to keep on doing it. I'm so thankful for all the great filmmakers, that keep me inspiring, even when i'm not a filmmaker. Thank you sooooo much!
Wes Andersons films feel so light and easy to digest from emotional side. I feel like having this kind of calm state in me created by the whole production eventho the story is changing or climaxing or maybe smth bad happened, idk to describe it properly into words. Those symmetrical shots and colors ease the audiences while the plot is either bright or dark.
Yes! and i always feel like it provides this ironic contrast that adds to the dead-pan humor Wes always incorporates
He's definitely one of the greats of his generation. Not many director has an unique style like he does. When you see a trailer of his you know instantly it is his film. He chooses his stories to tell very well.
*_Wes Anderson is one of the most underrated directors in cinema. He's like the modern Stanley Kubrick with a lighthearted manner._*
Nicely put! What's your favorite of his films?
@@StudioBinder I actually grew up with Fantastic Mr. Fox since I never heard of that children's written by Roal Dahl yet. But now, it felt different between movies and the original source material.
😂😂😂😂 u a fool Kubrick is on another playing field only modern era director that can be placed on the playing field with the greats is P.T.A
juan zatarain There are a lot of talented people who have come along to present creative and Artistic visions. Kubrick did so with much thought and extensive research and always put forth intellectual and philosophical ideas in his work in a more cold and detached manner because that was who he was. Some filmmakers don’t show who the truly are but most do in one way or another and Kubrick certainly was, from the very beginning interested in only was he was interested in and not others before the time directors where no more than creative pawns in a studio. There’s great works today from PTA, also great writing from Charlie Kaufman who directs now too and... y’know I’m trying not to give away too mainstream creatives not because I think the mainstream is bad but because I think there’s unrecognized work and we should all acknowledge it ASAP.
@@afonsolucas2219 yeah yeah everyone's great yeah yeah. 😂 like I said not on the same lvl Kubrick is an all time great
Knowing that he wanted to be an architect first makes a lot of sense in the context of his framing
I’d love to see David Lynch, Coen Brothers or Danny Boyle breakdown
Wes Anderson understands precision so well that many of us in the Robot community believe he may be a Robot himself. A great director for viewers who are intelligent... but also artificially intelligent.
Tom, your not allowed to watch good films. Your breaching protocol.
Wes Anderson’s writing tis the thing I admire most about his films
I know a movie is great when it makes me want to be a character in that world. Wes of course delivers as always
I'm glad that Wes has chosen to continue to do what he loves the way he loves to do it. I found Wes and his movies as Rushmore premiered and I've seen every single one since. I do consider myself a fan
I love his cinema. His telling of stories is so distinctively odd, extreme, while brilliant from top to bottom. Wes Anderson is hands down one of the best film makers born, not because of his stories, but because of his style, themes, storytelling. Simple, and gorgeous. The grand Budapest Hotel is the most beautiful comedy film i watched ever. Moonrise Kingdom and The darjeeling limited are also good in their own ways.
He is his own genre. Periodt.
Wes is such an inspiring person. Bottle Rocket still feels like something that everyone involved in it really loved and cared about without any concerns and seeing how he kept that feeling in all of his films and expanded on it so much even though the initial reception wasn't too great is beautiful. He seems like a person that, when you meet him, would instantly put a smile on your face and would always have something interesting to say. just the perfect human being.
I love how he weaves elements of theatre within his films
The films are full of love.Love for humans, love for colors, shapes, speach. Love for even the smallest detail.Makes you wish to live in a world like that.
I always feel his movies look like a “I Spy” book come to life. Always warm and whimsical visuals.
I like how he pull his past into making the movie, which helps me understand him better. Besides, we all have memories of childhood and it is great to see Wes make his movies from children's perspective.
"I'd rather just do what I love."
A singular artist. Brilliant.. His sensibilities speak to my heart. Thanks, Wes.
I love Wes Anderson movies. He is so unique and absolutely wonderful.
I really wanna become a director, and I’ve watched so many of his films, and I believe that unique styles really can go a long way. I truly love Wes Anderson style and I hope it doesn’t change.
I hope he never changes the way he makes films, it's a magical formula which brings me joy like no other films, especially the Grand Budapest Hotel.
Everytime there’s a Wes Anderson film reease, I’m sold. He always has the unique style, visual, tone, humor and weird awkward characters (that’s why I’m lovin it)
What an awesome person. One of the few movie makers that puts out absolute gems that are unique, meaningful, and charming. Wes is an outlyer in an industry dominated by track-home movies.
Studio Binder never disappoints. One of the best channels to follow for any filmmaker.
Studio Binder just keeps dropping my favorite directors in this series. I'm speechless and so inspired
I am so thankful to the world someone like Wes exist and we can experience his movies that are so inspring, touching, funny and beautiful. Wes is a genius!
He seems to be a person who is calm and pleasant to work with
One of the best modern filmmaker of all time.
The intro music gets me everytime. Makes me work harder as a PA so I can learn, absorb and move up 💛
There is a feeling of calm energy in all the characters that appeals to me. I love these films.
5:46 Bruh! I thought that was a real train!!!
And that is just the way we like them 💜 I'm so ready for the French dispatch 🤩
“I have tended to say I think I’d rather just do what I love!” Couldn’t have said it better myself, Wes!💖
Can you make a video on how to start making films. Like how to collect resources and funding
Buy a camera. Start creating. Put it on KZhead and see what happens. Use iMovie for editing!
@@softsoulyoga genius advice marta, "use iMovie" yeah that'll get us exposure and funding..
I want specially appreciate you for being a big fan. Thanks for your nice. Comment on my post, it means alot to me . I want you to send me a direct message Hangouts using my personal email that will be indicated below. Also endeavor to add your name to the text so I can know you are the one texting because I don't respond unnecessary messages. Hangouts mail: wesandersonlivechat1t@gmail.com
Love this man and the way he sees the world. It's like saving your innocence even when you go through the harshest things. KZhead should disable the dislike button for videos like these.
once in a lifetime artist, once in a lifetime imagination!! love him and his work!!
Isle of Dogs is one of the most inspiring movies I've ever seen.
Whoever edited this is a genius! Keep ‘em coming, StudioBinder!
this is one of my favorite film essays about my favorite director, i love it so much! his style is so pleasingly aesthetic and the storytelling of his movies are outstanding. i can't wait to see his next upcoming film "the french dispatch".
GREAT editing on this, especially on bridging the gap between the films to showcase similarities in style and composition. Can tell it was made by an Anderson fan
He inspires me so much to be a art director, its crazy how in love everything about his movies
Just recently got into Anderson’s work and I would die for this man.
Grand Budapest Hotel...A wonderful piece of work.
That's an interesting name!
Just terrible. I was so bored I slit my wrists.
Can we appreciate how good a compilation this is. Its not some watch mojo bullshit its actually good.
Thanks for the like guys. I’m genuinely a big fan.
Thank you very much for watching and for your kind words! Hope you enjoy our other content! 😊✌🏻🎬
While watching his films we do fall for the visuals and arts and in the end of the films we realise the wholesome idea he hide in those......which make his movies feel like a dream . Wes 💙
One of the most important artists. The way he can remain consinstant is impressive.
Brilliant
Great take on his films. I didn't know of the other films. I really like when a director has this sense of self and similar style in movies as long as the movie works stand alone.
magical, mind opening, strong sense of play, i love his work, he's pretty cool as well
The whimsy, terse dialog, quick cuts and funny characters. His films are a joy to watch.
I don't know how you turn out such great content so quickly, but I'll still be here when you hit the first million subs.
Wow. I was about to list it in the watch later playlist but it was so good that I kept going till the end.Smooth as silk
Thanks for the support! 😊 Hope you watch and enjoy our other videos as well! ✌🏻
Even the intro clip you made gave me goosebumps
in my opinion studio binder is one of the best channels to learn about cinema on youtube
Wes is without a speck of doubt, one of the best directors working today. We are lucky to have him. His films never stop amusing me. Royal tenenbaums, grand budapest or rushmore. They are all so beautiful. Visually ensorcelling and the characters are so likeable as well.
I love this channel, you curate such brilliant information
I found the exact style I was really looking for - it's a kind of magic. Thanks a lot!
the one point perspective is beautiful. gives me a sense of minimalism. a dead center focus, almost mindful yet mindless
You really should do a Yorgos Lanthimos video.
YES
Absolutely
And ari aster as well.
The score in both lanthimos' and ari aster's movies is phenomenal. I think aster has raised the bar for horror movies.
your one of mine man, you have my vote!!
All are great but my two faves of his are Life Aquatic and Moonrise Kingdom
Same. Both are unqualified masterpieces.
One of my top five's is Rushmore. Loved it from day one. Then went to film school and due to my new found knowledge, started to unlove many films I previously thought were great. Then watched Rushmore with great trepidation, expecting not to like it, but loved it just the same. I cried most of way through as I came to realise I loved those characters more than my own family. They were my family.
Wes is a National treasure. . period! I would love to work on one of his sets.
As someone who is working on my first short film, videos with directors, are really inspiring and helpful. I watched the one with Martin Scorsese right before watching this one, and I really got a lot out of the both of them. What I like about Wes Anderson films is that besides being very original they are very playful in a sense. He creates a whole new world filled with rich and interesting characters you've probably never seen before. What more could you ask for from a film maker?
Very fun and inspiring video. Such eye candy with the bright colors. Do Scorsese please!!
This channel is a gem for film enthusiasts. Great! 🌸
I hope u continue producing this seris about the great directors it really helps
If Wes Anderson was an instrument ,he is 100% a ukulele , no doubt about it
He is a piano.
thank you StudioBinder. you do such a great job... im very happy to join you page.. i lear very well about cinematography.. thanx alot agai... love.🥰🥰
Welcome to the club! What's your favorite video so far?
I needed this... Thank you Wes, and thank you for compiling this
He seems like genuinely eccentric and intelligent dude. God bless his heart his movies are great
Bill Murray's acting in Royal Tenabaum is the best work he's ever done
Really , really You never saw lost in translation?
@@arthursarzen1048 He's fantastic in that as well. Hard to say which one is "better". I love both movies. They are my favorites. I think his performance and character in Lost In Translation sticks with me more. He should of won an oscar for it. ~ I was always kind of mystified by Bill's reaction at the Oscars.. Almost like the scene they showed from the movie was one of the weaker scenes of the movie? Only my guess.. Anyone else? Can see here- kzhead.info/sun/gaqIpMqXpHquaKM/bejne.html
@@thomasrainbow he was one dimensional in Royal. He was amazing in" ground hogs day". The wes Anderson, the "life aquatic" he was great and he was the man in Rushmore. In royal ,the other actors stood out more. Hackman was amazing in Royal. Can you imagine if Murray was casted as Royal? That would have been a good fit.
Seriously boring movie. How he get gets any financing for his boring and annoying films is beyond me.
@@trinabaker3186 No. Lost in Translation.
Wes Anderson is incomparable
He definitely has a unique style!
I truly believe every person has a purpose to fulfill, something that is "perfectly fitting" for him/her to do (because they're GOOD at it), which eventually contributes to humanity (or just make people happy tbh)....and Wes is one of the very few people I adore that has actually accomplished his purpose
Wow I’m honestly so inspired right now. Wes Anderson is top 5 director of all time. No question!
THAAANKKSSS FINALLY WES ANDERSON. THANKS THANKS THANKSSS
You're welcome!😃
There have been a lot of great directors. Steven Spielberg, Martin Scorcese, John Huston, David Fincher. Ridley Scott. But there are some directors that are "different". Not only do they make good movies, but they also make them in their own unique, recognizable style. Here are my favorites: Wes Anderson, Jim Jarmusch, Quentin Tarantino, Stanley Kubrick, Alex Garland, Darren Aronofsky, Coen brothers. Let me know if you think someone else belongs on this list.
Luis Buñuel, Einsestein, Bergman
Nolan?
guilermo del toro
tim burton
jane campion
Have to give props to whomever picked that LOVE track toward the end. A perfect choice!
What a talent! I hope he continues listening to himself - his movies are great!
The world needs a Wes Anderson remake of Event Horizon.
I don't know that, this world could handle that.😄
event horizon 😁😂🤣
Wes' films always felt like those foreign storybooks I read as a kid.
duuude yaaaah ahaha
Wes' Mise en scene ability/flavor is absolutely & amazing!
What an absolute gem, I love those symmetrical works its very satisfying, lot of people in this world does the same in there daily life keeping things symmetrical, walking on road following tiles or roadlines its a real thing I'm ine of them
