a bit more fun.
by kenn987
This Brothers Bloom looks like it is a lot more fun than anything Wes Anderson made, also Bloom seems to have more in common with madcap crime capers, a genre with a history much older than Anderson's late 90's arrival. I think it's unfair to suggest that this quirky streak in independent movies began with Anderson or that anything that came after him is aping his style rather than being the ongoing life of a movie genre.

Yeah - I watched the trailer and if someone hadn't drawn the dotted line to Anderson I wouldn't have made the connection. This madcap con seems to borrow more from the Guy Ritchie streak of the last decade than from Anderson. The tone also seemed a little too bouncy for an Anderson flick (which I associate with a universal deadpan delivery shot through with occasionally weepy dudes).
