Wes Anderson and Owen
Wilson met in a playwriting
class at the University of Texas.1 Well, perhaps
"met" is too strong of a word. They were, in fact, classmates
in the same course. On the first day, Wes decided to place himself in a
corner rather than sit at the table in the small class. After
a few days in the corner, he noticed a student in another corner
reading the New York Times -- it was Owen
Wilson. Wes and Owen did not speak to one another that
semester, but neither found the way to the table. The next
semester, Owen approached Wes as if he was an old friend. Out
of a semester of corner-sitting silence, the Anderson-Wilson team was
born.
Wes Anderson and Owen Wilson, the
filmmakers of
Bottle Rocket, Rushmore, and The Royal Tenenbaums
represent a new generation. In a world of huge budgets and
computer-generated films, the films of Wes Anderson and Owen Wilson
represent a "breath of fresh air," to use the old cliché.
The filmmaking of these films represent a dual-face, looking both to
the past and forward to the future -- a key feature of a true
masterpiece. The Boys Collaborators |
