Some people dislike Wes Anderson and the movies he makes. I am not one of those people so if you are particularly astute you might pick up on a slight bias. This movie is a beautiful experience that communicates a fairly simple message but not necessarily full of simple characters.
Things working for this movie:
- An Excellent soundtrack. (staple of a Wes Anderson movie)
- Vibrant visual world that sets the exact atmosphere Wes is going for.
- Details, Details, Details
- Great performances by Wilson, Brody, and Shwartzman
- The increasingly funny fact that there is almost nothing spiritual about their spiritual journey.
While not as funny as his previous films I think that The Darjeeling limited will hold up as just as good of a film as his best.

The Wave
Inspiration
In the truest form.
Something in the mist.
On the edge of existing.
The Movement of the water over the sand.
Graceful in it’s quiet, calm, rhythmic, breath.
Pen to Page
Feasible and tangible
on the tip of your tongue
The feeling remains but the words won’t come
Choppy and uncertain. Tensing then relaxing. Belief then unbelief
The vastness of the sea, building, taking shape.
Furious Transposing
The reason and the rhymne are one
The time has come to pass
He whispers as he walks the way, “No one wave is the last”
The Wave, white capped and fierce crashes against the cliffs
Dread fills my heart as the tide comes in, it’s song my spirits lift
Still
The calm must come to carry on, the cadence of the deeps
I find rest, and am challenged by the secrets that they keep
If truly this is the first of many enigmatic waves
I pray that I might be all caught up and in the beauteous torrent be found safe.
