Between con artists and manipulators, you can always count on a dysfunctional dad (or Bill Murray) to appear in a Wes Anderson movie.
The Big Picture What makes a Wes Anderson film? It’s been the subject of TikTok trends and video essays for years trying to nail what makes his films stand out. It’s one thing to nail the symmetrical cinematography of Robert Yeoman or incorporate the whimsical music of Alexandre Desplat.
After Rushmore, Anderson takes the concept of the broken relationship between bad dads and their children and runs with it in The Royal Tenenbaums. The plot of the film focuses on Royal Tenenbaum as he attempts to mend his relationship with his estranged wife and children. In their youth, his three children — Chas , Richie , and Margot — were exceptionally successful; in adulthood, they’ve all fallen into various stages of arrested development, much like their father.
‘Moonrise Kingdom’ & ‘The Grand Budapest Hotel’ Trade Out Bad Dads for Obscure Male Mentors As Wes Anderson shifts to Moonrise Kingdom and The Grand Budapest Hotel, the main character shifts from a dysfunctional dad to an eccentric male mentor. Sure, Suzy Bishop has an inattentive father in Mr. Bishop , but he’s not the focus of the story; instead, audiences are treated to Captain Sharp and Scout Master Ward .
