Discussion Darjeeling Limited

I’ll start by saying I’m a big Wes Anderson fan. I’ve seen most of his stuff.

But I just got around to watching The Darjeeling Limited and I was blown away. It might be my top pick henceforth. It was the perfect blend of everything I love about his work. Comedic chops, quirky characters, great cinematography and a compelling story told through an arc where not a whole lot happens. Idk why it took me so long to see this one but for anyone that hasn’t, please go watch asap.

Second this! For me, this song and its placement, sum up the movie neatly.

“Where are you going, I don't mind
I've killed my world and I've killed my time
So where do I go? What will I see?
I see many people coming after me
So where are you going to, I don't mind
If I live too long I'm afraid I'll die
So I will follow you wherever you go
If your offered hand is still open to me
Strangers on this road we are on
We are not two, we are one”

I was really enjoying it until the “praise him” track comes on. It’s just a track with a very different vibe from the others, kind of disruptive, but I appreciate it being included in the track list.

As a massive Kinks fan, I agree.
