``The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou'' Wes Anderson's filmmaking and feelings for his friends reflected in the fantastical ocean adventure

What stop motion animation brought to you

Another thing that Wes Anderson was particular about when making this film was the structure, which mixes the real and the unreal. For example, the main character, Zisu, worries about the disconnect between his role as a hero for children and his true self. Have I lost my talent? I don't think I can make any more movies. Despite this anxiety, he continues to play his "false self" in front of everyone.

Moreover, the most unrealistic thing that appears in this movie is probably the marine life. A number of beautiful and cute depictions expressed as stop-motion animation by Henry Selick. If they were looking for realism as a movie, there would have been no need to animate it at all. Nevertheless, Anderson deliberately wanted to incorporate a different feel into this work, a place where reality and unreality intermingle.

Why? I think this also reflects the real feeling of ``making a movie.'' This is because in the daily lives of creators, the real and the unreal are always mixed together. An exploration ship sails through an ocean of creativity where reality and fiction collide. The real pleasure of making a film is capturing on camera the things that only they can see, the miraculous moments that can only be discovered by being together with your friends.

Through this film, it is as if Anderson's desire to invite the viewer into that state of being as if they were a member of the crew is clearly felt.
