Wes Anderson gets booed at Cannes

it's gotten pretty good reviews so far. the negative ones seem to be people that never liked Anderson movies or his style. the postive ones say it's similar to Life Aquatic and Grand Budapest humor-wise.

shit movies get 20 minute ovations

kinos get boo'd

you mean the last supper shit?
but didnt they set it up? and wasnt the reaction mostly the global audience?

What do you mean?

the negative reaction wasnt so much from the french people.
the french people organized it and expected people to like it.
it was the global audience that reacted poorly.

tell me you know absolutely nothing about french politics without telling you know absolutely nothing about french politics

Audience members were spotted leaving the movie’s official premier at Cannes, and while Anderson received a standing ovation, boos could be heard peppered in with gushing cheers.
Still good, should be another fun Wes movie to watch. Keep it going!

Nta, but please elaborate.

I'm not gonna read the article, can someone tell me why they booed it? is a film being booed at cannes rare/unusual? what does it usually signify?

I know. That's what I said. That proves that they're woke.

Don't blame them. I'm so tired of artsy films. Give us a fucking story.

oh i get it. i thought you were replying to the second line of my post.

Everything at Cannes gets booed for 5 minutes after an obligatory 20 minute standing ovation.

Dan Gentile

Humiliation ritual

Wes Anderson films arent really what i would call artsy. theyre not like terrence malick or something.
the story is usually pretty straightforward and digestible.

won the largest number of seats – 188.

Cause the system is broken
you don't get seats based on your number of votes at the national level,but you win seats according to specific areas

I probably haven't watched one of his movies since Budapest Hotel, but I don't remember them ever being woke.

how can you boo a film at cannes? isnt that disrespectful to the whole festival since the bar to entry is absurdly high

cryptokike

Anderson is literally the last vestige of WASP American culture you stinky little fruit picker

movies get booed at cannes all the time. they also give autistically long standing ovations. whether these are good or bad things depend on how much you like the director

it's an easy mistake to make based on the kind of cutesy aesthetic, but a lot of his films are pretty dark and cynical.

Well, you have the second generation Algerian-French mutts in Paris that hate all other immigrants and sexually liberated women dictating public opinion.

don't know who, and too tired to look deeper, but someone is full of shit

They booed David Lynch in the 90s for Fire Walk With Me.

the NFP is a (VERY) loose coalition of broad left politicians ranging from ecologists to socdems to straight up marxist-leninists

they are solely united by their shared dislike of the RN (right wing party, very united)

when macron called a snap parliamentary election the left coalition and macron's party, the centrists, formed an unofficial alliance and did a bunch of wacky political machinations with regards to the form of voting we use, basically if you're in a county where all three parties are neck and neck occasionally the centrists would tell their voters to vote for the leftists and vice versa just to keep the right wingers out of power on a first past the post basis seat to seat

this is all so that the right wing party would get as few votes as possible relative to their population share, effectively using tactical voting to suppress the will of the majority

the result?

left wing coalition: 180 seats won against 7 million votes

right wing party: 140 seats won against 10 million votes

then there's the more anecdotal side of things, which is that in terms of demographics the right wing party right now is basically most 'normal' white french people with the more prudish/establishment types voting for macron's party because he's a technocrat like them
the leftists are a broad church but generally speaking comprise a huge amount of the diversity vote (which there isn't much of in france as minorities traditionally don't really participate in french elections but this time the muslims turned out in FORCE to vote for the anti-right wing party, hmmmm I wonder why)
the point I'm getting at is that most actual sensible french people are either centrists or right wingers. I personally dislike the right wing party as I think it's leaders are dishonest populists but I think the left wing coalition poses the greatest threat to france since the fucking nazis
tl dr results say lefties win realities say right wingers got way more votes

hard image

I personally dislike the right wing party as I think it's leaders are dishonest populists

I dislike them cause they don't go far enought, they need to ban islam and send those muslims back to their coutries

meant for OP

Then you don't remember Budapest Hotel lol

I would also add something important, which is that in france we're in a weird place culturally where largely due to our recent history with nazism, and the fact that the predecessor of the current right wing party used to be unironically fascist, the french media is OBSESSED with demonising the "rassemblement national" party as fascists; I've looked at their policies, they're literally just mildly anti-immigration centre right wingers with very moderate if mediocre policies. if they got elected not that much would change, I think they'd probably mismanage the economy a little but they're not really that big of a deal IN REALITY. They are also unbelievably popular with most normal french white people like I said, which makes the media hysteria all the more absurd. By contrast, the left coalition are presented as these righteous centre-left socialists, when in actuality, if you look at their program for the country, they would unironically risk permanently crippling france's economy and potentially might even cause a race war with some of their pro-immigrant policies. they pose a HUGE threat, that and they wanna raise taxes on literally everyone who isn't an arab on benefits. but the media acts like they're not that radical and somehow less of a threat than the righ wingers. it's mental

Anderson movies are filled with plot and character, comedy and adventure. They're not some kind of abstract mood pieces (ok, Asteroid City got pretty meta, I'll give you that), theyre easy to follow comfort food if you can handle the whimsy tone.

poses the greatest threat to france since the fucking nazis

Werent the nazis trying to stop France from ending up the way they are now?

that applies too actually, but I think that even if they were gonna do that they should hide their intentions till they get to power or the establishment would never let them get there
My main concern is that the leadership are dishonest and will just say whatever to get elected. say what you will about le pen's dad mais au moins le mec avait des principes

every single one of my ancestors alive during WW2 fought in the resistance or the free french forces, unironically kill yourself you bootlicking dog

Rushmore is still his best. Every movie he's made since Tenenbaums has been more and more a self-parody

Your ancestors fought for the wrong side.
If the other side won, we wouldn't even be debating whether nogs can be allowed to walk around in Europe.

Wes Anderson’s Asteroid City brought some mega-wattage to the Cannes Film Festival this evening, lighting up the Palais with what we clocked as a 6.5 minute standing ovation for the star-studded comedy.

Get ready for some kino, bros

Oh, but absolutely, at least the former FN dignitaries denounce the sectarian excesses of the left. We remember the child found dead, sodomized, his head in a bucket of shit in the 60s and 70s, killed by left-wing "intellectuals" still alive and still famous/active. Frankly, Le Pen father should have won in 2002 and even before.

sensible french people are either centrists or right wingers

but how can this be true of the centrists if they were so easily persuaded to vote left? clearly their views are more aligned. that would make that the majority view.

Here a german propaganda poster ablut France in a century
This was made in the 30's, well if you look at Paris now...

because a lot of those centrists are malleable NPCs who will fall for the establishment making them think the right wing party are actual fascists come to destroy the republic, and then be convinced to vote against their interests.

hipsters are a dying breed

Those centrists don't sound like centrists.
Just crypto liberals larping as centrists.

the nazis and the current issues we face are two separate problems. If we'd let the nazis run us we'd be a fucking germanified vassal state for the rest of time; we now face a similar problem in the present, but this time with (((globalists))). I can hate both at the same time

It's about something? It has a plot?

malleable NPCs who will fall for the establishment

just because they dont know what their views are doesnt mean they are voting against their interests. their interests just might be retarded. still the majority.

dan gentile

If we'd let the nazis run us we'd be a fucking germanified vassal state for the rest of time;

and yet you'd still be a 100% white country. The worst thing that could've happened is the Germans forcing some gay bilingualism on your country and writing out road signs and cereal boxes to be in both German and French.
The worst thing that the nazis planned for France are not even 1% as bad as what jews are doing to you right now.

legitimately i think wes anderson is starting to get too smart for normies. People just latch onto hating his movies for being overly dressed up/too locked in his usual style, but why is this a bad thing? It looked good when he did it in Moonrise Kingdom, in Grand Budapest Hotel. It still looks good now, why is it only not okay now?

Not to mention his last 2 movies were a lot deeper with their emotional beats. In early Wes movies characters would attempt suicide or just go "i want to die" for comedic relief. Now you have existentialism explored through a play with a post-humous author and how a cut scene that didn't make it into the play gives the emotional resonance an actor in the play needed to sit with the existentialism the play explores and your average normie is just like braindead going "BLUHH ITS STHO CONVOLUDED WHO CARESSS" like the lil consoomer they are

they wanna raise taxes on literally everyone who isn't an arab on benefits.

this is pretty much where i draw the line on liberal bullshit. shit like this disgusts me. it's dishonest and cruel to the nation.

The whimsy nature of Wes Anderson's film simply don't connect with modern times

implying Hitler wanted to rule the world because all that allied propaganda said so

i think maybe part of the problem is that while the content might be getting deeper the visual aesthetic is getting sort of played out and tired. it seems kind of smug or something.

cereal boxes to be in both German and French.

Now it's both French and arabic
I wish I was jocking

The French make Hollywood look like North Korea

sterdoid city was about an alien threat, coupled with government overreach over something alien which was nothing harmful. it came and went. the only threat was the governments reaction and needles quarantine of its folk. does that remind you of anything that happened around that time? the stageplay stuff was just flavour and meta-crap as he usually does. all in all it was a story about covid-lockdowns. i dont know how people missed something so obvious

I liked Moonrise Kingdom

i dont think many people missed that.

me too.

the only problem here is how would you recommend wes anderson develop his style? Hold back more? break his own limits? Whenever people suggest wes anderson to do something "out of his usual style" its always something really gimmicky like "what if he made a horror movie oooh thatd be so weird!!!!" like as an idea its immediately just so shallow compared to him getting deeper with what hes been doing. Smugness is something easy to look past if you just accept it for what it is. It's not trying to be better than other film its just in it's own niche

how hard is it for you bootlickers to understand that I hate BOTH hitler AND immigrants?

you'd think so but then you would also need to remember the cattle like compliance around the world towards actual corporate pharma fascism. people brag about free-will and freedom but once the boot is applied even slightly, they bend their ass and stretch the hole.

The french are incredibly woke you lying retarded fuck.

like seriously you keep presenting these two as zero sum possibilities, either bend over to the nazis or bend over to the jews, how about we get to pick our own fucking future? fucking americans

allied troops bombed france and the netherlands, not the nazis. they just occupied it with little resistance.

Would you rather have street signs in Arabic or German?

I kinda wish he'd pull back a little. a little less artificial looking, while stile maintaining the very composed look. something that just feels like it could actually exist, but still beautiful.

have you met french people or been to france? that our media is pozzed to fuck doesn't mean the actual french are

It's like that stupid Piers Morgan debate where he tried to justify the current status of the UK to Tucker Carlson by saying "at least we're not speaking german"

Fucking retards can't connect two and two.

It depends. It could be because the quality of the movie was poor, which would suck, or it was simply controversial, which still leaves potential room for it to be great.

I already said: NEITHER
It's not a done deal and it's not a done choice. believe it or not if you actually go to france, we're still here, we're still white, and we're still catholic, there's just a lot of fucking immigrants to contend with. we'll bounce back, and I refuse to be demoralised by you mutts

There’s no reason to boo or cheer at a modern movie. Unless it’s five nights at freddy’s or the minecraft movie

we'll bounce back

literally impossible.

He won't give you a straight answer.
Just more gay boomer appeals to 'muh liberty' and 'muh democracy'.

thats fair, i like him exploring this "over the top" set design look because his early works are exactly like you say. I like how his movie history changes like that over time but I will admit we're reaching the point where "overly designed" is becoming the majority of his work now. Guess it would be nice to see him strip back again for his future works or find some new angle to it or something

Paki is the hero who outsmarts everyone and gets the white girls and inherits the money and the hotel.

All those ludicrously silly white and evil white people are the villains.

Except of course the faggy homo main character who loves and gives everything to the paki

Also the whole country is taken over by evil white nazi people who oppress the poor street shitting paki

Budapest is the king of woke are you fucking kidding me?

this is a followup of

profoundly jewish post.
I never noticed or cared, it has soul anon

i didn't

I dont care for the films of Wes Anderson

profoundly jewish post

im just being honest with you. science, history, and logic is against you.

watching rushmore for the first time only recently made me realize how toned down, yet still interesting he can get. the issue is coming up with a cool and inspiring story, like the young director/writer guy in rushmore. or maybe he could go full animated again, because i like both of the stop motion ones quite a lot.

the negative reaction wasnt so much from the french people.

it was

the french people organized it and expected people to like it.

yea, french (((people)))

then fuck science, history, and logic anon
if someone came up to you and told you that according to science, history, and logic, your life is pointless and you might as well just kill yourself now? If you're not a mossad shill and you unironically believe we should "just give up" then I feel deeply sorry for you anon

Yet the french (and euros in general) say the USA is woke as shit and covered in mutts because that's what the tv shows.

i just wouldnt equate the loss of traditional french identity with life being pointless. everything was going to change anyway due to technology and whatnot.

but i think i would kill myself if i was told with verified facts and reasoning that i was going to die a slow painful death. i mean im dying either way, at least i go out on my terms. all you can do is set a good example.

be literally the only one who does what you do in the way you do it

people want you to stop and make something "normal" instead

moviebuffs can be so shortsighted some times

i just wouldnt equate the loss of traditional french identity with life being pointless. everything was going to change anyway due to technology and whatnot.

No, don't backtrack anon. You were implying that france was fucked, there was no coming back, and implied that we were done for due to arabs and other immigrants. Don't pretend like you were making some cerebral point about the inevitability of change in the modern world. You're just a defeatist, feckless coward.

no i meant what i said, there is no coming back to your old france. it is americanized (or muttified) now.

there is no coming back to old anything anon. your point is a fucking tautology.

it is americanized (or muttified) now.

is it? I'm french and I can tell you with some degree of certainty that for all the globalism we're still far from fucking yanks. I wonder from which authority you claim to know france so well?

They boo every fucking film that comes on. It's frog tradition to be an asshole

And this is exactly what I was talking about when I wrote

the movie looks like run of the mill ai trailers I see on youtube and tiktok, I completely understand the hate

I went back and checked because I agreed that your point didn't check out - it was actually the other way around, leftists got THEIR voters to vote for centrists politicians in certain neck-and-neck seats, not centrists getting their voters to vote for leftists.

I wonder from which authority you claim to know france so well?

all i hear about is your migrant problems.

I believe america to be pozzed and woke as shit (in blue states and to a large extent in red states at least as far is israel worship goes) not because of the media but because of what I see american people say about life in america. the shit that goes down in LA today would make our pedophile 1970s commie philosophers blush

Who booed? Do you have a list of everyone in attendance?

That just sounds like a plot. You sure you're not mentally unstable?

LA is a shithole so America is a shithole

So what you are saying is because Paris is a woke shithole, France is a woke shithole.
Got it.

You believe people talking shit on the internet?

and you are correct - we do have a migrant problem. doesn't mean we're cooked yet are we? I'm still here for one and I'm lucky enough to be able to do something about it in my lifetime. You're living in the era of change and renewal anon, one of the greatest and most frightening there's ever been. LIVE UP TO IT.

Wes Anderson got booed on Anon Babble.

believe it or not I've actually met and spoken to americans irl
Never said all of america was a shithole
I said

I believe america to be pozzed and woke as shit (in blue states and to a large extent in red states at least as far is israel worship goes)

At least if the Germans took over Europe, it would have stayed white and Christian, probably forever. But England betrayed the white race by opposing Hitler and now their curse is to be browned and destroyed forever. Sad all around

theyre going to outbreed you.

I believe america to be pozzed and woke as shit

Because of our media.
Yet you say France isn't woke as shit when their media does the same thing.
Double standards.

What did they say? What are their names?

although incidentally I do believe a lot of america is a shithole by my standards but that's more just your decaying cities infested with certain individuals
america also has a lot of profoundly beautiful places and good places to live. I myself dream of witnessing the colorado rockies in summertime with my own eyes, and also visiting the olympic national park before I die.

soulless
he can be a good writer but he needs to chill out and do some more adaptations and let the original ideas marinate a little longer

And thanks to immigration policy, all of France's cities are just as shitty as American cities.

brother I'm telling you that based primarily on my conversations with americans online and in real life I have good reason to believe that large parts of america, particularly in strong democrat areas, are very woke by my own standards. would you disagree with this statement?
again with the feckless, cowardly doomerism

Why do all his films use the same fucking time period

would you disagree with this statement?

I would if you refuse to admit that the exact same thing occurs in France.

what french cities have you been to anon? do you know anyone close who's recently been to france for an extended period of time?
also I'm going to smoke a cigarette and go to sleep just stop being fucking doomers and sto

feckless, cowardly, doomerism

it's just what happens. there are a lot of factors, but they all lean one way.

I think this poster just got culturally enriched.

is that a suicide euphemism?

Found the newfag.

Pfff haha what an idiot. France is cooked. Everyone with an IQ above 110 is trying to move their assets abroad, real estate prices are stagnating, no innovation whatsover even by European standards, 50% of the population's livelihood relies on a Ponzi scheme that's run its course and 70%+ of the population aged under 30 is of non-French descent. I'm getting permanent residency in the US in 2026 thankfully. Rats are leaving the ship.

Wes Anderson movies are so gay

stfu, ive definitely been here longer than you.
is that some pol meme or something?
i havent seen it.

Newfag confirmed.
Lurk moar faggot.
You can't even spell Anon Babble correctly.

ive been here since 2007.
who gives a fuck about the /'s retard.
i bet you call it slash-poll you fucking dumbass.

Sure you have newfaggot.
Methinks thou dost protest too much.

stfu u fucking polfaggot.
you people killed this site.
youre probably one of the 2016 election tourists.

Whatever helps you sleep at night newfag.

Not him but you need to realize that many white Americans especially white males have been demoralized and told to kill themselves by anyone on the left in particular leftist shitlib media made worse by social media. You also have the fact that America has just decided to abandon their majority demographic which are white males. You know the demographic that keeps a good portion of society functioning and not going to shit (except for maybe spics and browns imported here and there).

you know im right.
you pol fags were the final nail and point of no return.
worse than the fucking chanology bullshit.
yeah i was there newfag.
kill yourself.

The onus is on you for not giving her a child, faggot.

You aren't fooling anyone newfag.

youre probably a fucking zoomer too, retard.
disgusting.
you dont even know what this site was.

Literally trying too hard newfag.

cant try hard enough to hate you people.
literally contaminated this site and made it ultra mainstream at the same time.
the worst thing that ever happened to it.

It looks like an AI generated film.
He really needs to bring back Owen Wilson as a writer. Wes has sort of disappeared up his own ass. French Dispatches was nigh unwatchable.

It's usually reserved for Gasper Noe or Lars Von Trier films.

It looks like an AI generated film.

What is this supposed to mean when AI can (try to) mimic any style

The French invented modern woke.

it's something about the lighting in the OP's image.
extra sterile look that AI tends to have.

It looks like it was made by Sora or something. And no, I've never seen AI generate anything that looks like Spielberg or Fincher. Granted, Wes had his style long before AI existed and his style is simply perfect for AI to emulate. When I say it looks like AI, I mean it literally, not as an insult in the way you'd say the latest marvel slop looks like it was made by AI.

You can only chew the same bubblegum over and over again before it gets stale

I made a girl cry once cause I said wes anderson is a hack
