Wes's underrated phenomenon - Ltd.
Darjeeling Limited, directed by Wes Anderson, was the under-rated film from his list of filmography. Darjeeling Limited is something very base yet appealing to be funny and emotional at the same time. The subtle nature of this film is the key feature and is intact to its colors. As in many of his other works, Wes used a vibrant color palette to the film. He does a little swift over the subject of the film, although the story's structure travels in a straight line of order without any interruption from the beginning to the end.
This story subjects the character in its nature. The film starts with Jack and Peter Whitman rushing out for the train, and later, they meet their elder brother Francis Whitman, and their journey begins. The brothers' adventurous journey towards finding their mother after their father's death in India is the film's core. The story touches on the emotional connection between the brothers and how Francis longs to see their mother is very story-driven. Sixty percent of the story gets on with the travel on the train, and that becomes the beauty of Darjeeling Limited, the train itself bag of wonders – it carries the characters and their stories all along the landscape. The characterization of Francis looks quirky and amusing. Each of the three characters has its structure and layers to it. The story is conventional and subtle, but the characterizations of the lead actors played by Jason Schwartzman, Owen Wilson, and Adrien Brody were the best three combos that worked very well till the end.
Francis's pointy characterization keeps the line of authority towards the other – he cares for them and keeps the order to project him as brotherly. He seems to be comical, but he gets the point out of everything. Jack and Peter's characterization matches at some point, but they have their specific measure of nature. Peter's habit of using their father's kinds of stuff and Jack's broke-up girlfriend story makes a different perspective over the story's movement. The film gets emotional appeal when they get out of the train and pass over unexpected events. Notably, the events at the village change them inevitably correct and bring their memories of going to their father's funeral. I could sense the character's arc changes at the portions of the village. They end up being very calm and start to give a pause over their life for such movements. The boy's death in the town and its consequence on them will reflect through the scene of the final act at the airport. The multiple events impact their lives, and it can be seen through their decision.
Locations play a preeminent role – the exotic Indian landscapes give a punchy texture to the film and significantly render the vibrant color tone. Wes's color themes and set design with the texture of vast landscapes make his vision getting largely possible throughout the film. Wes's different style of capturing the lives and the stories seen through the film and trying to connect the characters' lives – the final trolly shot is an example of his vast exploration of visual storytelling.
He makes a different touch to the feel of the film, and it requires a tremendous amount of vision to make it possible – Wes does beautiful work with his kind of interpretation with cinema. Wes stood out as one of the notable filmmakers in his style of pieces. He undoubtedly created a world of new style and made the audience a classic junction of authenticity towards cinema. Wes Anderson's style is composed as a patterned structure filled with many other aspects of camera movements, colorful and eccentric set design, unique storytelling, simple story base, aesthetic characteristics, and vibrant color palette.
The cinematography of Darjeeling limited seems to be very usual in the style of Wes Anderson. Wes follows specific camera movements and compositions. Robert Yeoman's work in Darjeeling Limited looks very promising and authentic over the kind of Wes Anderson. He comprises the possibilities of the usual Wes style and implies the variance between each shot. The influence of Wes in the department of cinematography can be seen through the scenes. He does make magic through his way of filmmaking.
