I think I like each Wes Anderson film more than the last one. So that's a good trend. Moonrise Kingdom looks pretty good, but the proof will be in the pudding.
I loved the Darjeeling Limited when I saw it in the theatre. This might be the second time I've watched it since then. I've found it less hilarious with each viewing. It's like this time around it was more like watching a play unfold than a comedic film. I'm always drawn to the incredible colors and the perfect soundtrack, though. The saturated Indian color palette in this flick is just simply beautiful.
I dunno what it was but I just didn't find myself laughing at the subtle humor. It felt more like a drama this time. I couldn't even laugh at "hey, look at those assholes," b/c I knew it was coming. Best line in the film.
I still enjoyed it. I was focusing on different things this time. Like how awesome their dad's luggage is. Or the unique color of his Porsche. Or how Anderson really uses wardrobe to great visual effect. It was good to revisit. I just wish it could still have that same punch it did the first time around.
