    there’s a moment where someone says ‘if she took those pictures and they weren’t to be sold to the public, then what was the point?’ and truly, i can’t imagine living a life where you think there’s no point to having a skill or hobby unless it can be commodified

    i think wes anderson works best when there is an element of wes’ fantasy bristling against an approximation of the real world (like rushmore, or the royal tenenbaums). the more his movies have closed off everything but his creation, the less i feel like they have anything to say about either his world or ours.
