The Life Aquatic
(Originally posted by JustaFied)
I loved The Life Aquatic, though it's a completely different type of film than Sideways. I appreciated them both in their different, original ways. I don't understand how anyone could dislike Anderson's creativity, the visual wonderland he presents on screen, the clever and quirky (yes, quirky) dialogue. At the least, this is going to be a "cult classic" for the stoner set. It's hilarious. Payne on the other hand has created a much more serious and "real" film.
Also, I'm with you (and with Dargas) as a fan of Collateral in 2004.
I'm glad we agree on Anderson and Mann's 2004 releases' being good, and as you see I agree with Dargas on Collateral as on other things -- though not on her exaltation of Sideways. As for my mentioning Sideways and Life Aquatic together, I explained earlier my reason for doing so. Payne and Anderson are both American auteurs of a simiar age, and both movies are about middle class white men undergoing mid-life crises.
