Breathtaking. It's a classic Anderson shot in slow motion. It's inspired my own filmmaking.  2) The graveside scene, another slow mo at the end, during Royal's funeral with the Van Morrison track "Everyone". It was uplifting and darkly comic, just like the characters in the film. Couldn't have ended that movie any better.  A Wes Anderson film with any other score would be just another pretty film. I was transformed after I saw one of his films for the first time.
