These days, when Wes Anderson’s “Phoenician Design” is available, some languages have been criticized that he is constantly repeating and has no new idea to make. Since the movie “The Great Budapest Hotel” Wes Anderson has begun to build a collection of works that are clearly closely linked in the form, icon and storytelling style, and the similarities are undeniable, but in all these works, one and one more, the propaganda that is less likely to be identified these days. Now his new work is to return to the same desirable film “The Big Budapest Hotel”. However, it is ultimately a slightly low -key distance, and can be booked alongside “French Report” as one of Wes Anderson’s good films. We begin the critique of the film “Phoenician Design” by searching for the signs of genius in the new work by Wes Anderson.
Warning: There is a danger of the story in the film “Phoenician Design”!
Opponents of Wes Anderson’s recent films have a strange tendency to go a different way and make different films. In their view, he is constantly repeating, and if he does not, his record will fail. But apparently he does not agree so much, and he constantly makes films that have obvious similarities. On the other hand, some opponents believe that Wes Anderson’s cinema is very engineered and that has destroyed the artistic spirit in his work. But the one who claims to be unaware of the current madness in Wes Andersen’s films. It is true that Wes Anderson clearly drives everything with accounts and books, but one cannot deny the genius madness that lies in his works.
Incidentally, Wes Anderson’s art is in order to organize his mind and thoughtful thoughts; The thoughts that are clearly full of pure visual and storytelling ideas, and by the way, all of them are still working. On the other hand, even if you look at his films from the theory of the theory, you will find that less filmmaking in the present world has such a unique person that can, to many, separate from the world around us and continue his fantasy life. Wes Anderson can safely ask his audience to drown and enjoy in this world if they wish, and if he doesn’t like, go to another movie. But this genius filmmaker is not convinced, and by the way, the events around us and the world in which he lives, are both fantasy and very tangible.
The “Phoenic Design” is a detailed film; Details that may not be watched first. For example, the film is about a infamous businessman who intends to save his business from danger and threat. She decided to choose her daughter on the way to a nun as her sole heir. While he has 9 sons, he has not chosen any of it. The point is that the story of the film’s espionage is gradually influenced by the story of the relationship between daughter and father, and such a film, which is very transcendent in transcendent interpretations such as permanent political controversy in one point in the world or border engines, becomes a human being.
As the story progresses, the human aspects of the film have increased, and even in the end it is clear that the biggest enemy of the influential businessman is not the foreign governments but the man who has a blood relationship with him. Wes Anderson is aware that these human relationships between the people do not have the taste of the audience and not so much flower. For this reason, it also links family relations to political, religious and commercial conflicts, and even spies on its story to go upside down, and after losing to the businessman’s daughter, has a dramatic reason to overcome her superiors’ orders. In such a framework, the story of espionage, political, and financial at the beginning of the tangible story goes with an emotional story to change their place at the end, and what matters is human relationships, personal hostility, and the extent to which individuals are forgiven.
The main strength of Wes Anderson’s film is exactly here; Where this shift is quite tangible and does not taste so that the audience does not eventually ask why a man is satisfied with all the attempt to become a noisy businessman suddenly. The answer to this question is slowly and steadily in the heart of the story. The point that helps this process is the chemistry between the two main characters. Bencio Del Toro and Mia Thoripleton accompany the audience in the role of father and daughter to believe in the process of transforming their roles. At first, the girl is all thought of the spiritual mother and the church, and she does not want to get involved in a not -so -pleasant relationship with her father, who seems to be all evil. In the early chapters of the story, the father has little interest in his daughter and only wants to save his business and political achievements.
But this image changes with every trip and reaching every home. The main characters are closer to each other and learn to behave like an ordinary father and daughter. That’s why their ordinary life at the end of the film becomes such a believable. That suture, along with them, is the same spy of the story. She stays a man who learns how to treat a woman. In such a framework, the strange love of the two and the more strange marriage that has Wes Anderson’s signature is made right and fascinated. All of this means that the drama building is built correctly and the film, despite its fantasy logic, has a self -sacrificing and meaningful world.
The next positive thing is the pleasant comedy that flows throughout the film. Wes Anderson uses a unique comic tone in all his films. Sometimes this tone works and sometimes not. Fortunately, the film “Phoenician Design” is a successful work. From the beginning and the show of the assassination sequence of the main character until the end, when the story ends in a humble restaurant, this comedy tone can be seen and does not eliminate its pleasant shadow for a moment. The point is that this comedy tone is perfectly in line with the fantasy mood of the film, and this is another sign of the genius madness of filmmaking that can give its crazy ideas to a specific way and make the most of them.
The achievements of past cinema are one of the methods of postmodern filmmakers for narrative; Classic -style storytelling in which the beginning, middle and end of the story is quite clear, and the narrative is based on specific external motives of the characters and the element of the accident is less involved. Or the critique of the modern narrative in which the subjective conflicts and personalities of the characters become more important than the story, and sometimes accidents and events outside the framework of the characters are abundant. The same is true here. It should be noted, however, that if in a film such as Wes Anderson’s “French Report” in the form of an ontology story, here it retains its episodic narrative with the first, middle and end.
The point is that, like that film, in its own way, in a two -sided tone, this kind of narrative is sitting. With its episodic narrative and by disrupting time and place, and putting each episode in a timely manner, both past storytelling and tone throughout their comic, which is woven in a thread of each facade and every layout of its work, is important to raise the building in which the characters are sometimes motivated. It is in such a framework that as the story goes, the inner motives of the characters and their emotional desire to do a job replace the logic of the material world; The point that again helps to build that crazy and mad world to conclude that the audience will conclude that for these men and women nothing more important than responding to their inner desires.
The acting team is great. It is true that Wes Anderson’s style of play is only one, and the actors will not succeed even if they want to play under average, but the presence of greats such as Brian Cranston, Tom Hanks, Willem Defo or Bill Murray has even made every fascinating work plan. Add this For example, the film is being portrayed in a tunnel tunnel in the film Bankio Del Toro and Brian Cranston and Tom Hanks. Or at another time we see Wilm Defu in the extraterrestrial court defending the accused. All of these sequences alone attract the audience.
If you can get into the film, it is the extra seasons. For example, the season in which Scarlett Johansson is present, despite being supposed to help the blood ties and relationships that gradually become the main story and put aside the espionage drama, does not work well and get out of the overall body of the work. Or the presence of leftist revolutionaries, though, according to the same postmodern logic, the film is on the leftist revolutions and its leaders in the twentieth century, their occasional presence remains slogans and despite all its potential. Just look at how they suddenly become the guards of the main character so that the filmmaker loudly shouts his political slogans about the deep link between these revolutions with the currents of their ideals.
Positive Tips
- Coordination between form and content!
- A stretched story along with the right drawing of human relationships!
Negative points
- Some movie seasons can be easily eliminated!
However, the opposite -flowing rise in the form of an American business group, despite its shorter time, has become a understandable account and has found its place in the heart of the drama. The author refers to a season when the main character goes to a wealthy man playing Jeffrey Wright on a ship. Donating blood by this man clearly expresses all the purpose of the filmmaker in a succinct way and does not need to chant flower slogans. This is a sign of the same crazy genius Wes Anderson; A director who knows how to organize a mad world and make a engineered film that is in place, but it is crazy and lively.
