The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou

I'm not quite sure how I feel about this movie. For me it was really a typical Wes Anderson production - one that at first I didn't like, but over time I began to challenge my own opinion of and eventually neither liked nor disliked it. His films, and this one is no different, really sit in this quasi gray area.

Like with all Anderson films, I feel like Life Aquatic has some deeper meaning that I don't quite get yet, and this mystery is really the reason I can't quite dislike it; or, rather, that I'm inclined to like it.

Thus, if you don't like Wes Anderson or you don't like movies that don't quite make sense, don't see it. Otherwise, enjoy… or at least try to.
