Damn I love Anderson in general and I don't get triggered by his style as pseuds tend to do, but this one did NOTHING for me beyond the basic aesthetics. The relationship stuff should be the basis of everything as it is in his better movies, but it just seems shallow and unearned in this case.

Its sabotage!

>3 sinks
>2 toilets
but why

>>212334472
I think each sink had a different purpose for cleanliness and two toilets is a rich couple thing from a past era.

>>212334472
american detected

>>212334472
There's also like 5 different doors that get opened at some point in the scene.

>>212334472
That's a bidet, you uncultured swine.

>>212334296 (OP)
he overdid the cartoonishness at the cost of the emotional impact of its more serious scenes, because the characters barely seem human

>>212334472
>>2 toilets
That's a bidet, tardy-kun

>>212334472
>2 toilets
this is the end of times... maybe ask ChatGPT to count the number of toilets for your you idk

>>212334554
That movie is great on an emotional level though (I assume you post it as a positive example of what he failed to do in TPS). He used to make the deadpan bits prop up the genuine bits but it just doesn't work in this case

>>212334472
Excellent bait

>>212334612
Still no explanation for the three sinks. Of course I know what the pissing toilet is for. That was just me pretending to be retarded.

>>212334472
It was shot in Dan Mullen's house.

>>212334543
I think it's only 3 but still funny yeah

>>212334472
a bidet is an ass shower if you didn't know
in the modern age you would just have a quick shower instead, you wouldn't run a bath just to get the shit out of your crack back then

>>212334592
yeah I meant to post a positive example, in The Darjeeling Limited the characters are whacky too but their humanity still shined through to great effect.
I remember a scene in The Phoenician Scheme where the daughter first meets her father, and she completely randomly walks up to a wall until her nose is almost touching it and then she turns before starting a monologue, it all felt super artificial and robotic and a most of the movie is like this. It's almost impossible to see the characters as anything more than lifeless puppets acting out a play, it was a fun watch but it had no emotional impact on me whatsoever despite the fact that some of the father-daughter dynamics are clearly meant to pluck some strings.

What's the thing bottom left corner?

>>212334296 (OP)
The hotel one sucked too despite board telling me otherwise. Honestly can't remember his last good movie

>>212334764
>in the modern age you would just have a quick shower instead
why do a full shower if I only have to clean the ass? A bidet is always quicker

>>212334855
maybe if you have one, but you can always hunch over in a shower and avoid getting your upper body wet
i got into the habit of taking a shower after every shit when i lived in a tropical country and now i feel like a superior human being

>>212334922
>but you can always hunch over in a shower and avoid getting your upper body wet
true, I just assumed a scenario in which one has a bidet but still goes for the shower anyway
>when i lived in a tropical country
understandable, from what I've read in hot and humid places like Thailand two showers a day is considered the bare minimum to not be a stinker

>>212334296 (OP)
just watched it, it was pretty bad

i expect some twist, something, like it being revealed that he was playing everybody from start

but nope, they visit 5 people 1 after another, and the movie ends

i think the point was about him having a religious reawakening, about dying, meeting god, and coming back as a new person, but this is kind lost in all the comedy crap

>>212335012
yeah it seems like the main takeaway is how he goes from a cruel businessmann demanding his daughter to renounce her vocation to being the one swept up into her religiousness and giving up everything for the greater good. As for the thing with uncle Nubar it's about... family feuds and breaking the cycle,maybe? I guess? I can't imagine anybody giving a shit about her character or about the plot twist that he's the nun's biological father
