Who are the director’s favorite characters and why?
The favorite characters of director Wes Anderson are Max Von Sydow and Edward Norton. I love the character of Edward Norton in Asteroid City because he plays the role of Bill Murray and is known to be a comedian actor, who is trying to be taken seriously as an actor. The character of Max Von Sydow is also good. He is known for playing in the movie Rushmore and Fargo, and he’s a great actor. Anderson has commented about Norton “He approaches the world with great generosity. He’s the one justifying what he does, not me. That’s an interesting quality to have, and I didn’t know that was going to be there when we started.”
What themes does the Asteroid City series explore?
The themes of the series are Inclusion and diversity in the film, TV, and advertisement industry.
Politics in America.
Patrick Wylie, who is the casting director for all of Anderson’s films, said “In terms of politics and the political climate we are dealing with today in our world—in how there is a lot of division on how people see things, which is necessary [for] us to have that friction—he [Anderson] wanted to explore that.” Well-being in society and mental health issues such as anxiety, depression, etc., among teenagers exposed to various forms of mass media. There are many more themes like love & romance, friendship & relationships, etc.
What are the critics saying about the Asteroid City series?
The critics have given a positive review of this series, which is said by critics to be a “fresh” take on the retro-futuristic city of Anderson’s past feature The Grand Budapest Hotel.
