You reminded me of the Meisner workshop scene in Asteroid City (you can't wake up if you don't fall asleep). The more I think about it, the more the Meisner Technique seems like a central theme of the whole movie. The scene with Margot Robbie and Jason Schwartzman drives home the difference between recitation and acting. Cool stuff.

- throw4847285 2y agoThat's the neat part, you won't! But in all seriousness, there's a current of irrationality flowing under that movie that is oddly satisfying. Why does Augie burn his hand on the quickie griddle? I feel like Anderson has honed his craft so much that for the people who aren't instantly turned off by his antics, he can create these incredibly emotionally evocative nonsense scenes. I'm not entirely sure Anderson understands how he does it. He's tapping into something deep in his subconscious that resonates with some select set of other people. I guess that's art!
