Wes Anderson: A Modern Marvel

While these days, films such as "The Hangover" and "Kung Fu Panda 2" are dominating the movie market, true cinematic talent has not been fully eliminated and can be found in the work of Wes Anderson.

The Royal Tenenbaums (2001)

A father attempts to reconnect with his estranged family by faking a terminal illness. The cinematography and script are especially noteworthy and combined with excellent casting, the film becomes a true masterpiece.

Best Trivia: 

The original hawk used to play Mordecai was kidnapped during shooting and held for ransom - production could not wait for him to be returned which is the reason that the bird that appears later in the movie has "more white feathers" - it's a different bird.

The hand that is seen with the BB lodged between its knuckles is not Ben Stiller's, but Andrew Wilson's, brother of Owen Wilson and Luke Wilson. When they were children, Owen fired a BB gun at Andrew's hand and the pellet has been there ever since.

The scene where Richie punches the glass in Mortaci's pen is unscripted, this was improvised by Luke Wilson on the spot and the scene quickly cuts to Richie and Ralleigh (Bill Murray) talking up close, this is because when Wilson punched the glass, director Wes Anderson thought he seriously hurt himself.
