(Wes Anderson) Wes & Children

[meatball]

Children play a huge role in his films. Any thoughts on why this is?

[ElPandaRoyal]

Because in every Wes film there's a sense that the world is very children-y. Kids and adults interact like equals. Luke Wilson's sister in Bottle Rocket; Max, Dirk and most of the kids in Rushmore and, of course, the young Tenenbaums. Whenever I see a film by Wes Anderson, I feel a sense of wonder in them, like the dream of a child.

i've noticed that the kids in his movies are usually playwriters... perhaps they all shoud assist to "WHAT DO KIDS KNOW?"

[for petes sake]

All of Wes Anderson's humor stems from either children acting like adults or adults acting like children.

Note that this answer was three years in the making.
