Comments on: Wes’ influences and favorites http://www.rushmoreacademy.com A site dedicated to the films of Wes Anderson. Home of the Yankee Racers forum.

Just like in Anderson's films, Rouquier breaks down a whole into parts, analyzing it piece by piece. I also thought that that's where he got the beginning of the Royal Tenenbaums from - the introduction where all the characters are looking into the mirror. A fan of Wes's will probably enjoy Farrebique. I can’t believe that the George Rouquier 1946 pseudo-documentary Farrebique isn’t on here.

Also some non-film art has had a huge influence on Wes Anderson, more specifically JD Salinger.

I have no acting experince, but have a great desire to be in one of your films. If you ever need a slighty chubby, 5'9 and half, brunette just let me know. Thank you so much, and keep up the good work! Yours truly, Cappa McAuley Your films have inspired me to do many things, and I enjoy them very much.
