A tiny note: when it comes to people who like Wes Anderson’s movies, you’re either into his whole thing or you’re like “it got kind of lame after Royal Tenenbaums.” If you are me, you think Rushmore was really the apex.
So anyways, as Wes Anderson goes on and continues to make films, the thing that’s lacking about his current work… doesn’t it reflect well on Owen Wilson, co-writer of Bottle Rocket, Rushmore, and The Royal Tenenbaums? Doesn’t it seem like Owen Wilson has stuff to say about class and striving and just being human in a cruel world where Anderson just wants to do a lot of mise en scene that doesn’t amount to much?
In the Wes Anderson ovuere, there’s all this negative space around Owen Wilson, screenwriter, and I’m finding that I really like his writing and perspective, even if it got lost in “Owen Wilson, Movie Star.” It’s fascinating.
Good theory.
