Hey Mike: Nicely done as always. I really only disagree with the last line: I don’t believe you can separate people from the myths they lead/believe/act out.
You seem a tad dismissive of what you frame as Anderson’s childlike sensibility, but with so many films sporting an infantile or adolescent sensibility, he’s still a refeshing change. Manyfilmakers too trip over themselves trying to be serious and ‘realistic’ whatever that may mean.
Also, there are a fair amount of adults who act… like children.
Like you I am a fan.I have seen all his films except for this one, btw. I’ll get to it soon.
Cheers jh
