a passable wes anderson joint with not nearly enough bill murray. Also, it's easy to become weary of anderson's signature "indie" style. a series of interchangable films with interchangable cast, fine.

the spiritual journey across India 0f 3 American brother who have not spoke to each other in a year....

MCT:August 3, 2008my current favorite movie, and a movie that is unpredictable, fun, and just overall amazing at the same time.
-
MCT:August 1, 2008Strange and confusing, albeit whimsically delightful, I was convinced this film was randomly thrown together and made only mildly interesting because of the three great actors starring in it.
Why is Natalie Portman only out for like 3 seconds? And they need to talk more...I'm sure they are capable of memorising more lines than what they have on hand. -

pretty random and interesting and funny with meaning and all on this spiritual journey for these 3 brothers' reunion... loved it!
-
MCT:July 30, 2008Now, I was disappointed on this one. Seeing Adrien Brody, Owen Wilson and Natalie Portman, which are a few of my favorites, I thought "Woah, its gonna be great!".
Well, it didn't hit my expectations. But it wasn't that bad after all. A bit boring, if you ask me.
Jack: What did he say?
Peter: He said the train is lost.
Jack: How can a train be lost? It's on rails.

MCT:July 29, 2008Pretty good. Not my fav of the Anderson movies but I still liked it. Maybe a second viewing is needed?

As quirky and lovable as you'd expect from Wes Anderson, The Darjeeling Ltd is packed full of little touches that make you feel like you know the characters personally by the time the credits roll.

Never underestimate the blood that ties. Three brothers on a journey of [re]self-discovery. Beautiful visuals.

Wes andersons best movie since Rushmore. And all that I have to saw is Bill Murray steals the film. and he's only in the flick for five minutes.

Le manìe e ossessioni dei nostri tempi e del nostro sistema vengono contestualizzate in un'ambiente diverso, tranquillo, con ritmi di vita opposti ai nostri, atmosfera speziata e tempi differenti. Risultato: uno specchio in cui osservarci, e sorridere di noi, con la nostra diffidenza e circospezione, le nostre ipocondrie e manìe di controllo, quando in realtà basta poco per trovare un posto o una persona dove riporre la nostra fiducia.

Strangely appealing. This movie has sort of a "Napolean Dynamite" or "Everything is Illuminated" flavour to it, but was better than either. That being said, a caveat of this film is that it's not for everyone. If you're not drawn into this movie, you may end up hating it. There is something so genuine about this movie though, it's funny, absurd, pathetic, and sad. The music is great, and the cast is perfect. I found the quirky comedy to be refreshingly subtle, yet effective.

MCT:July 26, 2008Owen wilson!! what a dumb movie. the worse movie he has ever done. I love him but he really needs to make up for this movie.

I watched this because Wes Anderson has that quirky intelligent humor in his films, that pulls you in no matter what the ride. Not up to the standards of films past, but decent enough. I was laughing after all. Owen Wilson, Adrien Brody, Jason Schwartzman...that is my preferential order. Wilson was by far the funniest, and Brody the most sensitive and intresting on a dramatic level. Schwartzman has my vote for the weakest link, despite his being the protagonist, or the character closes to main role.
Worth watching...that much can be said. -
MCT:July 21, 2008
Hilarious! Some scenes made me laugh to tears. The sheer expression on Brody's face (or just the sight of his scrawny body in pink underwear) is enough for comic effect. It's true that a great deal of the plot is haphazard, but that, imho, makes it even funnier.
The trip is a parody, since nothing that changes for either of the brothers has any relation to their 'spiritual' experience in India. Not sure whether the threesome have refreshed their brotherly connection, but they sure have thought through some of their own relationships. Peter caught up with the idea of soon welcoming his baby, Jack seems to be on his way to patching up his relationship with with his ex-girlfriend, and Francis...ah, Francis. He still needs some healing, as he confesses in that rich scene at the mirror. Technically, he's back at square one, having got his assistant back, but apart from that, he might have at least realized how emotionally needy he is. -

This film was so sweet. I loved the colours and the Indian setting, along with the characters. This film was so down to earth but larger than life in many ways.

Nice. It needed to be 30 minutes longer and have more dialogue. The cathartic promise of the premise was simply never realized.

Again another fantastic movie from the odd director Wes Anderson. I have only seen Royal Tennenbaums and Life Aquatic and I liked Royal and hated Life so I was unsure going into this movie. Though I must say I do like Wes' western-esque quickly zooming in on the face technique. This movie is funny, sad, and flat out weird, and what I like about this movie is the constant pace and how it is never boring and it switches genres very quickly (a lot like his other films). Wes seems to stick to messed up family's in his movies and they are working for him now, but I think he needs to find new ground to tread before people start getting tired of that idea, though for now his movies are mostly great and this one is very enjoyable to watch.

If you have ever traveled India as a Westerner, considering yourself to be aware of cultural ignorance and stigmata and have discovered that world full of variations, full of true spiritually in every aspect of life (living, death, beauty, ugliness, dirt, colors, poverty and richness), this film will touch you in the most embarrassing way.

MCT:July 15, 2008Three brothers who have not seen one anotehr since their fathers funeral, Francis (Owen Wilson), Peter (Adrian Brody) and Jack (Jason Schwartzman), travel to India in a hope to recindle their lost relationship and find enlightenment.
Led by Francis, the three find themselves on the Darjeeling Limited - a train journey that will change their lives.
Soon it becomes clear that Francis is actually taking them to meet their long lost mother (Anjelica Huston).
'The Darjeeling Limited' is a brilliant film created by the brilliant Wes Anderson.
Keeping in form with his previous movies, this one is slow paced, dry and full of emotion.
A simple, yet moving, sometimes hilarious, sometimes tragic film. Owen, Brody and Schwartzman are brilliant as the three misfit brothers.
A must see for all Wes Anderson fans, and a possible treat for newcommers to his work. -
MCT:July 15, 2008
Three brothers haven't seen each other at all since their father died and their mother left with no word, they used to be close but hardly know each other any longer, nor theselves for that matter. Therefore, one of the brothers, Francis, decide that they should go on a spiritual journey to India to get to know each other again and maybe find themselves while they're at it.
Touching story once it got better somewhere in the middle, if I wasn't as stubborn as I am, I probably wouldn't have stayed by the screen to see that far in to the movie. But now, afterwards, I'm glad I saw it because it's definently worth it.
Jason Schwartsman and Adrien Brody impressed while other left me with a lack of emotion. -
MCT:July 14, 2008
Really inspiring and heartbreaking at the same time. Jason Schwartzman is just a bottle of awesome. Owen Wilson did good in this, and Adrien Brody did really well. I didn't care much for Natalie Portman, not like she did anything anyway. It ended wonderfully. The last half was definitely the best.

Natalie Portman was in the short film - prequel to this film in which she acted as Jason Swartzman's ex-girlfriend (whom he twice or thrice tapped into her phone messages and whom he was last said to be meeting in Italy). The short film is connected to this film and is indeed significant to Jason Shwartzman's character.
