Wes Anderson movies… I mean films – are not for everyone. I’m never surprised when I hear someone say they don’t like the auteurs work. But there’s is no denying the fact that the auteur has a style that is his own. There are not two Wes Anderson’s in this universe. Wes Anderson makes Wes Anderson movies.
Personally, I’m a huge fan. I wish more directors could articulate their voice as clearly on screen as Anderson. Even if you disagree with his style, you have to admire his craftsmanship. Sure, his films are easy to poke-fun-at, but I’m glad they exists in this Blockbuster-heavy moment we currently find ourselves in.
The fine folks over at Screen Junkies put together a Honest Trailer for every-single movie in the directors filmography. Here’s the Honest Trailer:

ISLE OF DOGS tells the story of ATARI KOBAYASHI, 12-year-old ward to corrupt Mayor Kobayashi. When, by Executive Decree, all the canine pets of Megasaki City are exiled to a vast garbage-dump called Trash Island, Atari sets off alone in a miniature Junior-Turbo Prop and flies across the river in search of his bodyguard-dog, Spots. There, with the assistance of a pack of newly-found mongrel friends, he begins an epic journey that will decide the fate and future of the entire Prefecture.
