Wes Anderson Film Techniques

Decent Essays
Wes Anderson is a movie director who has created eleven movies some include Fantastic Mr.Fox , Moonrise Kingdom , Rushmore , etc.

Anderson has been known to use some of the same actors in many of his movies, Bill Murray is one of many actors that continues to reappear in Anderson's films. Murray plays many diverse roles, some include Mr. Bishop in Moonrise Kingdom, Badger from Fantastic Mr. Fox, Herman Blume from Rushmore, and M. Ivan From Grand Budapest Hotel. Any character Murray plays he gives a unique personality which adds a twist to each films he is in.

Anderson uses different technique by varying how he creates his films. Fantastic Mr. Fox is a claymation film. These types of films take longer than most to create so they are shorter . This is one of my favorite films because of all of the attention to detail. This classic story by Roald Dahl comes to life just because of Anderson's creativity. The littlest attention to detail causes a clay figure to come to life like a twitch of a whisker or a sniff of a nose.

The part where Susie stabs Redford in the back with lefty scissors the best part because it is comical and quirky. I also like the location of where it was filmed in a very picturesque place that makes you want to be hiking in the woods with them.

His movies have been nominated for thirty seven awards and has won ten. Some include the BAFTA Award for Best Original Screenplay , Los Angeles Film Critics Association New Generation Award and many more. Although he has only made eleven movies and some are short films he has a wonderful imagination and is in the process of making a new movie called Isle of Dogs starring Bill Murray, Yoko Ono, and many more.

Wes Anderson s movies are all tantalizing and well known . Anderson keeps his fans on their seats. I enjoy all of his films and hope that this may persuade you to watch
