I had no idea that people didn't like the Life Aquatic, I can understand how some people might not like Wes Anderson's style as a whole, but to pick out a single movie out of his excellent lineup to dislike seems bizarre to me
IT'S SERIOUSLY CRAZY TO ME DUDE I HAD TO CUT IT FROM THE SCRIPT AS A MENTION BUT IT'S GENUINELY BIZARRE TO ME THAT ITS CRITICAL AGGREGATE SCORE IS BENEATH 60%
Really? It's in my top 3 Wes Anderson films and at least in my top 20 favourite films of all time. I don't see how it is so badly received from a critical standpoint.
Same! I like it more than any other Wes Anderson movie I've seen and loved it the first time I saw it. I was astounded when I saw that it was so widely disliked. I'm really thankful that youtube recommended me this video
Iis Arman It's interesting that ralphthemoviemaker would say that because I've always felt kinda similarly about some of his other movies, i.e. that they get caught up in their own quirkiness.
People say that when someone says something like that, it's because they're jealous. But it still hurts. It hurts bad. That man was damn rude. He can go straight to Hell.
while I'm not 100% sure if it's my favorite (it's definitely up there on an unranked top 10 if I were to make one) it DOES feel like if any film on the planet were made specifically for an audience of me, it'd be this one
This is the movie that made me start paying attention to Wes Anderson. It's still my favorite honestly. It's certainly one of the films I've watched well over 20 times in my life. It's been a good while now though.
Even in an analysis video, devoid of context, I started tearing up at the jaguar-shark/everybody-hold-out-a-hand-and-touch-Zissou scene. Not crying, mind you. But definitely feeling it. God, such a good movie. And (in my opinion) Anderson's funniest, too.
I see such a big connection between Steve Zissou and Bojack Horseman. Both characters are on the surface awful human beings but both characters drag so much grief and history with them that you know they could be better, you know how they became the person they are now and you know that they can still come back from it. Two of the most emotionally powerful characters ever created and both were misunderstood when people first saw them.
I love how Ned starts with an N. And Zissou starts with a Z. They are kindred spirits, and it doesn’t matter if Ned was his biological son or not, because they shared a love from afar they got to express on their journey. Ned got to go on an adventure with his idol. And Steve Zissou got his spark back
I'm really happy this series is going on. In a time where you can't look online without another news story saying we are screwed to others arguing over basic human rights its nice to have a series trying to think positive
I think it must’ve been jarring for people, it was his first big steps into a world of hyper reality. Now with so many animation credits under his belt, if this came out more recently, it would be much better received I think.
Great review! This movie is so fantastic. My personal favorite of any film out there :) I saw another person talking about the path of Eleanore, specifically when they buried Ned at sea. Do you believe she was mourning the death of her wish-it-could-have-been-hers child? To me it felt like her decision to come rejoin the team and fund the rest of their mission was her telling Ned that she was ready to be his new mother and Steve the father. I believe that the reason she left in the first place was not just because of the argument they had but because she wasn’t sure of herself in being ready for a maternal role. That’s why she needed breathing room. When Ned’s casket floated down, she was watching and mourning with no one around her. She felt alone in the world. But she also wanted the privilege of seeing her son last. Let me know what you think!
Totally agree... it was the same thing I thought. Even, when she tells Jane that Steve was infertile, it was clear that, more than a statement, it was a lie that she had told herself to explain why Steve did not want to have a child with her...
I've been away for some time, I actually found out I had a son who I had never met before however sadly he passed away in a tragic helicopter accident. However it brings me joy to know that there are people out there who still enjoy this wonderful film.
Life Aquatic is a fantastic film I’ve watched countless times. It was misunderstood at the time. A beautifully shot, acted, and written movie. A perfect companion for The Tenenbaums. film. Wes Anderson was unfairly accused of relying upon a budget to replace creativity as if it were the cinematic version of The Doors’ Soft Parade.
Hey man, I’ve just watched all of your videos, I love the pacing and your inflection! You have a wonderful way with words and I appreciate the critiques you’re making. You brought many things to light that I didn’t realize! Keep working man! I love it!
I don’t think Life Aquatic is Wes Anderson’s best film, but it’s certainly not his worst and it’s my favorite. Grand Budapest, Moonrise Kingdom, Darjeeling Limited, etc… are all great films, but Life Aquatic is the one I have watched the most by far.
I adore this movie. So fun. So funny. Entertaining. I laughed. Cried like a baby during the Ned’s death sequence and fell in love with the Zombies song. I can watch this movie every day. 10/10.
I liked it, but I LOVED the soundtrack. Wes Anderson movies have such a great use of previously made music and visuals, it’s like you could really see what he was thinking when he heard it for the first time.
This is my favorite Wes Anderson Film, and until now, I hadn't found anyone else that loved it as much as me. It's always everyones worst Wes movie. It's my best. I love it!!!
I honestly think this is my favorite Anderson movie. I guess I'm drawn to tragic characters. Watching Steve subconsciously sabotage all of his relationships made him very easy for me to empathize with. Also, the style of the audio and visuals here is immaculate.
Your videos are AMAZING!!! Super well editing skills, outstanding visuals, and top of the line literary breakdowns!! I can't wait for your next video however long it takes
Hes saying his first 2? Were also mainly about father/son parent/child relationships. And the main characters in these movies do things obsessively or irresponsibly to make up for a lack of a father figure. In Rushmore he obsesses over dead languages thus will obviously have no use for them just as he has no hope for a father figure. The kids in the tenenbaums had a shit dad so Margot smoked cigarettes and hides it as they all hide any semblance of desire to have their dad around except for owen Wilson's character who has a pet ?hawk? And takes care of it as his relationship with his father is more of a flip of the father son thing where he puts his neck out to let him sleep in the family house both of them being things who's relationship is based solely on his efforts to keep the relationship alive and without him would be perfectly fine. Sorry I haven't seen Rushmore in ages so I can't speak on it that much but the tenenbaums is one I watch every do often. Hope that helped you out man. Remember to not watch these essay vids just to get ideas put in ur head for you. ALWAYS try to be the ashsole that analyzes art and try your best to figure it out. Analysis is an art form in itself and broadswords stuff is just that, beautifully crafted but another video could also be made on a completely different take. I also dont even know if you were asking for an analysis on the symbolism or just wanted to know what movie their from If it's the latter I apologize in which case. Dead languages is from Rushmore. And the pet and cigs are from the Royal Tenembaums.
Dude, I love your videos and I just hope you don’t quit because the slow down of views. Also do you have a merch store, I’d be down to buy some sexy bread socks
I would love to play the role I usually do in your comments Bringing a more than a healthy amount of cynicism But I’m afraid I haven’t seen this movie I am a big fan of Wes Anderson though and I certainly add this to my watchlist Another great video bread keep it up
Best parts about this channel can be summed up by your voice and your choice of films/ shows you talk about. Never knew this film existed but I'll tell you what, I wanna watch it now.
This will always be one of my favorites.. the emotions hidden behind the comedy mixed with the perfectly placed music is all I need in this type of film.
CinemaSins: Ew a movie CinemaWins: Wow a movie Breadsword: Wow a movie: *ASCENDED EDITION* Some people say stuff like "I'm really smart" because of a highly misguided view of themselves and the world. Some people say it in their videos as a form of ironic self-deprecation, mirroring the aforementioned misguided, or simply as a sarcastic joke. Maybe you actually do the same. But every time I watch your videos I can't help but feel like you may be the one of the only people on the internet who deserves to say it in all its glory. Not only is its truth demonstrated throughout the video in your eloquence and knowledgeability, but the succinctness of the claim and the impression of naiveté it holds perfectly fit the more casual, even humorous, side of your videos. I guess what I'm trying to say is great videos man
I'm curious about what the critical response would be if the film came out today. For whatever reason, might The Life Aquatic have been ahead of its time?
IS THIS CHANNEL BREADS WORD OR BREAD SWORD? I'm in love with this channel, been watching from the second video and watch everything put out. Always thought it was Breads Word though and only just realizing it could be Bread Sword... Which is it?
I wasn't aware that _The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou_ NEEDED someone to make an "argument for" it. I was under the impression that it was universally considered to be an all around classic of cinema and one of Wes Anderson's absolute BEST - quite possibly his BEST EVER. _PERIOD._ Even if it got shit from critics when it first came out, it has been vindicated since coming out by basically EVERYBODY. Including most of, maybe even ALL of, the people who shat on it when it first came out...
Now I know on a deeper level why I dislike the movie, except for the idea of the plot that’s really unintresting. I profoundly disliked Steve. Wes’ attempt to “manipulate” us into painting Steve as the good guy didn’t land for me, and made me think he’s just a narcisistic gaslighter. Am I supposed to root for that? There’s no gradual change to his character, so I’m just supposed to accept the fact that he’s changed in the last 20 minutes mostly because the son that he treated like shit died all of the sudden. I enjoy antagonistic characters and often root for the underdog but Steve as a character and his character development destroyed this otherwise mediocre film. And this is my 4 th Wes film and I adored the 3 others.
I disagree that he’s unlikable and unredeemed till the end. Steve is possibly one of his most realistic characters in a Wes Anderson film because of his emotional complexity. While Zissou was quick to insult you, he’d also immediately apologize if you call him out on it. Granted, yes he did point a gun at a pregnant woman, but sometimes you have to prove a point.
It’s actually my fav Wes Anderson movie even though I know a lot of his other movies are better. I always thought it was Bill Murray’s best performance in his films
Yeah, I didn't understand any of this when watching the movie, but maybe it wasn't the best movie to start with in my venture into Anderson's library? I wasn't even aware that it was based on a real documentary by Cousteau. I will say though, I still kinda liked the movie.
Please make more of these. I found your channel by accident and wow am I glad I did everything you put out is a true tour de forme of filmography. Your use of background music is majestic honestly keep it up, I love every single one of these videos.
It seems to be written and filmed from the perspective of a child. It is as if a child saw all of this and was given the opportunity to describe it in terms as well as a child could, without any adult help in explaining what certain things said and situations mean. This movie is not unlike listening to a young child with an advanced vocabulary that is brutally honest because he has no filter.
I need you to do me a favor and point me towards the people who argue against this movie. Because they're gonna learn the meaning of "Not if I don't see you first sonny." This movie is the best.
I saw this film last night in preparation for this video, and i absolutely loved it. Maybe growing up by the sea make me a little biased, but everything is just so perfect. Music, sound, visuals, acting, everything. This video was like icing on the cake. Thank you for making great videos. Keep up the good work!
I watched this movie with my (ex) boyfriend and literally had to stop watching it in the middle because I was not in the right headspace to see it lol Hopefully I can go back one day and watch it with a new perspective now that I am in a better place
Your works are incredible and it's a shame they don't get more attention. It's really awesome to be able to see your pure, unwavering passion for whatever it is you're talking about in these videos.
I feel like anyone paying even the least bit of attention to the movie figures out that Steve is the real jerk..... i’m not sure why you think it’s so tricky to figure that out
Recently found your videos and just finished watching all of them. Not only is your critique insightful and well thought out. But the presentation, with the video editing and the music, and your calming voice is spot on
Great video up until this point 15:32 Idk if it was an attempt to be funny or edgy but I didn’t get it. Definitely needs to be edited out of the video. Wtf 😂 🤢
i have a orange beanie that has the patch of team zissou the life aquatic and it came from a person that changed my life so i pretty much where it even day

it might be because they don't like that particular movie, y'know
YES BOY. Gonna have me a sensual 25 minutes
THANK YOU B LOVE YOU
Bruh can you make a video on one of those Mary Kate and Ashley movies
No need to make an argument for it for me - it's one of my favorite movies. I always cry at the end.
Same. Really hits home for us that have complicated father relationships.
Do you think it remembers me?
Same, its my 2nd favorite movie, and I've teared up at the ending twice
People say that when someone says something like that, it's because they're jealous. But it still hurts. It hurts bad.
That man was damn rude. He can go straight to Hell.
*throws earring* *holds out hand to receive it, after his son picks it up, without looking or saying thank you* classic Zissou.
This is legit my favorite Wes Andersen film. lt breaks my heart that it's largely forgotten.
It would be great to see your opinion in other wes anderson films.
LOVE YOU
Fantastic mr fox, plz
omg plz
Vicente Ortega Rubilar it would be great to see his opinion on anything lol
The life aquatic is my favorite movie at all time
Diego jackanape Me too!

Mine to, this movie and I have a history that goes back to my youth, and in two days, that era will end, this movie is one I will never forget.
This is the movie that made me start paying attention to Wes Anderson. It's still my favorite honestly. It's certainly one of the films I've watched well over 20 times in my life. It's been a good while now though.

Outstanding video with breathtaking editing. I already loved this movie and now I love it even more.
THANK YOU SO MUCH LOVE YOU SO MUCH
Sometimes ya just gotta let ppl be impressed by things ¯\_(u--u )_/¯
Your videos are a joy and like a diamond when they show up in my subscription box. Rare and priceless

They are kindred spirits, and it doesn’t matter if Ned was his biological son or not, because they shared a love from afar they got to express on their journey. Ned got to go on an adventure with his idol. And Steve Zissou got his spark back
Your background music always sounds like it's coming from another room, and it tricks me to pause the video every time!
I'm really happy this series is going on. In a time where you can't look online without another news story saying we are screwed to others arguing over basic human rights its nice to have a series trying to think positive
All of your vids are magnifico
BLESS THANK YOU
:)
HE HAS RETURNED! Praise the Yeasty Blade!
I love how worth it the long wait between your videos are. So well made.
REALLY REALLY GRATIFYING TO SEE COMMENTS LIKE THESE BECAUSE THE ENTIRE TIME I'M WORKING ON A VIDEO I'M SO STRESSED ABOUT HOW LONG IT'S TAKING LMFAO
Particularly love the perfect blue one. Cheers. Hope you post a ton more videos soon.
aw yes another film that's good that i never watched, time to spoil myself
This is my families favorite Wes Anderson movie. I have never understood why it got hate.
I think it must’ve been jarring for people, it was his first big steps into a world of hyper reality. Now with so many animation credits under his belt, if this came out more recently, it would be much better received I think.
May the bread feed the hungry, and may the sword overcome the darkness!
For [BREADSWORD] has come again!
mah boi BREADSWORD out here killin it, every video is top tier my dude please keep it up.
I love this movie. I don't get why it was ignored. It's one of the comfiest films ever.
Great review! This movie is so fantastic. My personal favorite of any film out there :) I saw another person talking about the path of Eleanore, specifically when they buried Ned at sea. Do you believe she was mourning the death of her wish-it-could-have-been-hers child?

OoooooHHHH BOY, Another BREADSWORD video. Better watch it before it gets taken down.
I've been away for some time, I actually found out I had a son who I had never met before however sadly he passed away in a tragic helicopter accident. However it brings me joy to know that there are people out there who still enjoy this wonderful film.
God I love Bill Murray. Thanks so much for making this one. One of Anderson's best films.
If I wasn't already subscribed from your Treasure Planet video, that opening alone would have had me a dedicated fan.
Advent3546 LOVE YOU THANK YOU
+BREADSWORD we love you too man!!
Just... the music playing in the background the entire time. Thank you.

Life Aquatic is a fantastic film I’ve watched countless times. It was misunderstood at the time. A beautifully shot, acted, and written movie. A perfect companion for The Tenenbaums. film.

I don’t think Life Aquatic is Wes Anderson’s best film, but it’s certainly not his worst and it’s my favorite. Grand Budapest, Moonrise Kingdom, Darjeeling Limited, etc… are all great films, but Life Aquatic is the one I have watched the most by far.
I've always been meaning to watch this film. Now I know I have to
I adore this movie. So fun. So funny. Entertaining. I laughed. Cried like a baby during the Ned’s death sequence and fell in love with the Zombies song. I can watch this movie every day. 10/10.
The aesthetics in your videos are BOOMIN’!
I liked it, but I LOVED the soundtrack. Wes Anderson movies have such a great use of previously made music and visuals, it’s like you could really see what he was thinking when he heard it for the first time.
Please please please WHATS that song playing at :50
It’s so beautiful
This is my favorite Wes Anderson Film, and until now, I hadn't found anyone else that loved it as much as me. It's always everyones worst Wes movie. It's my best. I love it!!!

Your videos are AMAZING!!! Super well editing skills, outstanding visuals, and top of the line literary breakdowns!! I can't wait for your next video however long it takes
What did you mean by “symbols in all of his films?”. Can you elaborate a bit more and give more examples? Good video by the way
For example, what do cigarettes symbolize? What do pets symbolize? What do dead languages symbolize?
Hes saying his first 2? Were also mainly about father/son parent/child relationships. And the main characters in these movies do things obsessively or irresponsibly to make up for a lack of a father figure. In Rushmore he obsesses over dead languages thus will obviously have no use for them just as he has no hope for a father figure.

Dude, I love your videos and I just hope you don’t quit because the slow down of views. Also do you have a merch store, I’d be down to buy some sexy bread socks
did we... just get a kiss... from mister bred?
i love all your videos so much but i think the "nani!?" bit might have made this my favorite. I just want more smart talk and memes please
I feel like it's a sin I haven't watched this film yet, I really need to watch this film now
I would love to play the role I usually do in your comments Bringing a more than a healthy amount of cynicism But I’m afraid I haven’t seen this movie I am a big fan of Wes Anderson though and I certainly add this to my watchlist Another great video bread keep it up
Bro, is it BREAD SWORD or BREADS WORD. I've always said breads word, but I need confirmation!
Micah Hayes He’s confirmed it to be BREAD SWORD, much like pronouncing the word “longsword”.
Santiago Sanchez baguette
i like how the background music sounds. DEPTH
Best parts about this channel can be summed up by your voice and your choice of films/ shows you talk about. Never knew this film existed but I'll tell you what, I wanna watch it now.

I WAS JUST REWATCHING YOUR TREASURE PLANET VID AHHH
Thank you O kind and mighty sword of bread
I love you, buddy. You did a wonderful essay on one of my favorite films of all time.
I'm curious about what the critical response would be if the film came out today. For whatever reason, might The Life Aquatic have been ahead of its time?
OH MAN this was so GOOD. i love all your videos holy shit
Geez I never even noticed the critics score of this movie before I saw you defend it. Most of them are just whining about Bill Murray being a meanie.
I didn’t even know this was hated on. I always thought it was a great movie since I first watched it.
IS THIS CHANNEL BREADS WORD OR BREAD SWORD? I'm in love with this channel, been watching from the second video and watch everything put out. Always thought it was Breads Word though and only just realizing it could be Bread Sword... Which is it?
Man you write some of the best scripts..... and they just keep getting better.
I wasn't aware that _The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou_ NEEDED someone to make an "argument for" it. I was under the impression that it was universally considered to be an all around classic of cinema and one of Wes Anderson's absolute BEST - quite possibly his BEST EVER. _PERIOD._

This movie deserves more love and I am so happy to see you giving it love in your video
This movie was actually my introduction to Wes Anderson and to this day it remains my favorite of his.
Maybe it’s just me, but the Buckaroo Bonzai ending was just a cherry on top of the sundae. Goldbloom got to strut again.
Steve Zissou drops the subtlety when mentioning Cousteau & his Cronies when talking about the Zissou diving helmet comes with radio music.
Thank you for this amazing content. I hope you can keep it up.
It seems to be written and filmed from the perspective of a child. It is as if a child saw all of this and was given the opportunity to describe it in terms as well as a child could, without any adult help in explaining what certain things said and situations mean. This movie is not unlike listening to a young child with an advanced vocabulary that is brutally honest because he has no filter.
I love your laugh!!! thank you so much! i look forward to your content
I want Wes Anderson to do Left Hand of Darkness by Ursula K. Le Guin so bad! I feel he’s the only one that could put her work on screen.
I need you to do me a favor and point me towards the people who argue against this movie. Because they're gonna learn the meaning of "Not if I don't see you first sonny." This movie is the best.
I saw this film last night in preparation for this video, and i absolutely loved it. Maybe growing up by the sea make me a little biased, but everything is just so perfect. Music, sound, visuals, acting, everything. This video was like icing on the cake. Thank you for making great videos. Keep up the good work!
Keep up the good work. You are killing it. Love what you have been doing with the score, the heavily reverberated music is a very creative touch.
I watched this movie with my (ex) boyfriend and literally had to stop watching it in the middle because I was not in the right headspace to see it lol Hopefully I can go back one day and watch it with a new perspective now that I am in a better place
I want to know your opinion on everything ever!
Your works are incredible and it's a shame they don't get more attention. It's really awesome to be able to see your pure, unwavering passion for whatever it is you're talking about in these videos.
I feel like anyone paying even the least bit of attention to the movie figures out that Steve is the real jerk..... i’m not sure why you think it’s so tricky to figure that out
why dont critics like wes anderson?
Always enjoy your video essays, keep 'em comin'!
I love your videos so much they need to come out more. And continue perfect blue and maybe akira or ghost in the shell
Not going to lie kinda fan girling over you reading that
Recently found your videos and just finished watching all of them. Not only is your critique insightful and well thought out. But the presentation, with the video editing and the music, and your calming voice is spot on
Great video up until this point 15:32
Idk if it was an attempt to be funny or edgy but I didn’t get it. Definitely needs to be edited out of the video. Wtf 😂 🤢
My fave Anderson film bar none. I saw it three times at the cinema. Twice on the same day. In my top three films of all time.
It’s seriously like the best movie. Also, weed is legal in Canada!!! 😁
i have a orange beanie that has the patch of team zissou the life aquatic and it came from a person that changed my life so i pretty much where it even day
Wes anderson rocks. Aquatic is third best after Rushmore band tennenbaums. He is the best wes
The finale with “Queen Bitch” always reminds me I watched a great film.
Should talked about the foreshadowing of the mating crabs
