The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou

Tali: The Life Aquatic is the story of Steve Zissou (Bill Murray), who takes a journey through the seas to attempt to find a jaguar shark, a create that no one else has seen, which he claims ate his oldest friend and colleague. As a huge fan of Wes Anderson's movies, I can literally go on and on and on about Life Aquatic forever - the gorgeous scenery, how every shot looks like a photograph, the brilliant use of each brilliant actor, the music (the soundtrack I am literally obsessed with), the complicated yet simple stories. JUST STUPENDOUS. If you missed this when it came out, what are you waiting for?! Go download rent it!

Leo: Even if I did not know who was directing this movie before I watched it, it would have hit me almost immediately. Wes Anderson's style of movie is so easy to love and enjoy, no matter what the topic. The acting is spot on, and the story is just as obscure and serious-funny as you would expect from Wes Anderson. And no, serious-funny is not an oxymoron if you've ever seen Wes Anderson films. Tali has not stopped listening to the Portuguese  acoustic David Bowie covers, and I have no complaints about that. This is not his best movie, but it is definitely up there with the best ones. Yea, you should sea (LOL) this movie.
