Movie Review "The Life Aquatic"

Like I said I would do in an earlier post I am now going to give my critique on "The Life Aquatic" the new movie by Wes Anderson (The Royal Tennanbaums, Rushmore) starring the incredible Bill Murray, along with tons of others.

Right off the bat I will tell you that Wes Anderson's makes movies with a specific sense of humor, he does not appeal to the masses. Any of his earlier work will tell you that. If you can tune yourself in with what Wes is trying to get across in this movie he co-wrote the movie will have you more than an interest, on the border of being enthralled, in imaging what will happen next.

People complain that movies have gotten predictable. At the sake of not giving the audience what they want "The Life Aquatic" keeps you guessing the whole time. A relationship movie set in the open sea, the movie allows one to laugh at eccentric people doing things they way they find normal rather than having normal people doing things eccentricly.

All of the characters have quirks, even from the smallest roles, but you will need to pay closer attention to those if you are going to notice them. Also there is usually action going on in the background and foreground simultaneously, adding to the realistic nature of it all.

I found the movie to be incredibly funny, but then again Bill Murray's style appeals to me. Which means I must have something in common with Wes Anderson since he always leaves a place in his films for good ol' Bill. The comedy is for adults in how it isn't slapstick or physical. The humor in this movie lies in how some of the characters actually believe the way they do things is perfectly normal.

So that's it, hopefully that gives some idea about the movie. I will review Tom Robbins book Another Roadside Attraction shortly.
