The Darjeeling Limited is f#ckin bullsh!t. Seriously, could someone tell me what the F#ck Wes Anderson is upto? I found this absolutely pointless. None of the characters are believable except for that Sikh, there's no substance in his films and none of this is f#ckin funny. f#ckin low class slapstick, low class dialogue and is either, seriously self-indulgent, or fails miserably with its overambition. I'm not even fully sure what it aims to do. Wes Anderson seems to create troubled characters in his mind, put them in a story of redemption where they try to make things right and then imagines random situations. And we're supposed to figure out his characters from the way these situations turn out. Seriously, f#ck you and your puzzle. I got particularly annoyed with the way in which they showed us each character's crazy take in a situation- the camera rotates before stopping in front of a character that appears in focus, then the camera rotates before again stopping in front of another character. The scene where they bunk the flight and tear up their tickets, so f#ckin fake. I reiterate, what the f#ck is this guy on about? 3/10. I only liked Bill Murray being left out of The Darjeeling Limited. I've had enough of looking at him. Owen Wilson is a close second.

"None of the characters are believable"

fiction doesn't need to be believable or realistic.

Realistic? Not necessarily. Believable? It does.

Who cares anyway what the hell you think or like.

If you cannot understand a film, because it is way above your mental capabilities, it is ok, but why bother with clicking on its board & post moronic rubbish about it? I do not bother with films i do not like, even when they are truly bad.

Wes Anderosn makes great distinctive films. He does not make trashy, commercial hollywood films which feature the same banal storylines & same consumed characters with dull dialogue. It is enough that Martin Scorsese, who knows more about cinema & films than you & me, admires him and named him as his heir!
so push off

Hiding behind the voice of a celebrity. You have a lot to be proud about.

Wes Anderson movies are an acquired taste, you either like them or you don't.

I used to like Wes Anderson films for their originality, then started thinking they were maybe all about him having a dysfunctional family, and blathering on and on about that, artistically, so my opinion of his films went down briefly. But after watching this film several times after the recent death of my father, I finally understand Wes Anderson's brilliance, and absolutely love his films. There are so many intricate details of the family members' relationships with each other and their own selves, these movies are nothing short of deeply emotional, and wonderfully imaginative, art.
I doubt any of this is getting through to the OP, but oh well...

the darjeeling limited is considered his worst film by most people i know. it's the only film of his that i expressly dislike and i love most everything else. try rushmore, the royal tenenbaums, or moonrise kingdom.

Why?

[–] pfr_77 11 years ago

because the time hasn't made it less bad

esp in the wake of the films anderson has done after

[–] PreachCaleb 10 years ago

Time just improves it.

I catch something new to enjoy with every viewing.

Can't stop the signal.

Ok. I'll help you out: It's called a "back" button and it is step one in removing you from this film. Clearly Wes Anderson is not for you.

I don't love her.. She kicked me in the face!!
