I'm not a big Wes Anderson fan so this is a genuine question: Is this the first time he's had more than one POC in a movie at a time?

[escalena]

No, I think the first time was The Royal Tenenbaums? Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

[escalena]

But was it more than 1? I haven't seen Bottle Rocket yet.

[disarmingdevil]

Yes! Thank you! I completely forgot he had two(?) in Royal Tenenbaums. The love interest and the side kick if i'm remembering correctly.

[disarmingdevil]

Thank you for answering :) I think i worded it weirdly. I know he's had POC in his films, i just always saw it as one token character per movie so my question was more is this the first movie where he's had multiple POC characters.

I think it might be that the overall whiteness of the films tend to overshadow any POC involved 😂

i dont really pay attention to his stuff, but i think his stop motion animation movie about the coyote had an all white cast... i only remember that because my friends were discussing it when it came out in theaters. i went with them to watch it and i fell asleep and they put popcorn in my wide open mouth for entertainment! how dare they! 😡😡

you sleep with your mouth open?

i can't control what my mouth be doing when i'm sitting up and sleeping with my head back lol

The Darjeeling Limited had multiple Indian characters in it. It would be egregious even for him to set a movie in India and not have at least a few Indian people in it

[disarmingdevil]

Were the Indian characters fleshed out or more like set dressing/props? Is it worth checking out?

[syvlie0o0]

Idk, I've never watched a Wes Anderson movie the whole way through, I have no interest in them. All I know is that it's about a bunch of white dudes who take a "spiritual" journey in India, so no fucking thanks.

One of the actors he always goes to is Tony Revolori though who is Guatemalan despite often playing Asian/Arab characters in these movies.

[disarmingdevil]

Thank you! I will definitely skip it then 🤣

I think the biggest change with him since Grand Budapest is that Tony Revelori and Jeffrey Wright are now on the list of his list of go-to ensemble players
