Is it possible to fall in love with a movie?
Words cannot describe how much I *loved* The Darjeeling Limited. Everything about this movie was perfect. Watching it was akin to something like a catharsis.
I'm not sure why but Wes Anderson is just the most amazing living auteur; his movies are the most evocative creations known to man. I just cannot understand how he taps into such a pure vein of feeling and rhetoric that many films do not begin to approach.
The discourse of brotherhood/family and parental responsibility just tap into something inside of me. It's like the movies touch upon my own familial history and weave this amazing pallet of emotion I cannot begin to approach.
If you haven't seen Darjeeling, Rushmore, Royal Tenanbaums, Life Aquatic or Bottle Rocket; you haven't lived.
His use of music is evocative of Scorcese and Tarantino but don't let that put you off.

One of my favourite NYC landmarks.
It's been abused during the movies Cloverfield and Zombie Flesheaters but there were no zombies that day. Too warm for them. Thank god for the dude selling water halfway across as it felt every liquid had bled from my pores.
