A work that launched an “all-star cast”

Director Wes Anderson has been building a unique creative world for over 30 years since his directorial debut with the short story "Bottle Rocket" (1992). Although their unique themes, compositions, and styles vary dramatically with each work, you can sense a similar underlying basso continuo. In particular, ``The Royal Tenenbaums'' (2001), his third full-length feature, uses the motif of ``family'' that is familiar to Anderson's works, and is also the first to use the ``all-star cast'' that is the most distinctive feature of his works. Famous.

I see, when I looked up the information on Wikipedia, it was true that he was one of three siblings, and his parents divorced when he was a boy.
