Wes Anderson has worked in many different aspects of film. He has been a writer, director, and producer and even an actor. Wes Anderson was the writer, director, and producer of the three films I watched. He has an incredibly original and unique style that can easily be picked out even if I was never told that the movie was a Wes Anderson. The films are very quirky and awkward. They have a certain charm that keeps the viewer entertained and looking for more. All the films were rather comedic but not outright and in your face about it. He likes to keep his characters in a family setting. He uses an obvious formula to his story but it makes it very charming and makes me wanting to know how Wes will handle the problem. His camera direction is very sharp. He uses animation to pull absolutely insane camera angles. Wes likes to separate his movie by chapter. It amazing how developed Wes’ characters are. While we might not know everything about them Wes most certainly does.

Wes Anderson prefers to write in the slice of like genre. More specifically the pivotal point in life that make the character really go out there and make a bold move. The main characters are looking for something more something greater.
