Explanation of the Phoenician Bill Murray scheme

To reformulate a famous historical father, I came to a psychological analysis Wes Anderson moviesAnderson is not himself. To put it moderate, Anderson films are full of father’s issues. From Royal Teenbau to Steve Zissou to The Fantastic MR. Fox itself, the Anderson movie scattering the patriarchs is a problem. However, it will be precisely naming these characters as completely bad people, because each of them has a journey that should teach them how to be better fathers and leaders, and most of all, better men. Although the problematic patriarch is Anderson, like the color encoded in color -like costumes, the director has found different ways to play with the original model instead of directing it directly. For example, “The Darjeeing Limited” is noticeable that her father’s personality is (allegedly) unprecedented, “Grand Budapest Hotel” showcases a hotel that behaves as an alternative father on Bellhop, and “The French Dispatch” replaces a biological father for one of them symbolically, in the form of a magazine editor.

This last character is played by a long -time member on Anderson, Bill Murray, and more than any other regular Anderson, it is his manifestations that tend to bear the symbolic weight in both the director’s films. To intelligence, his absence from “the asteroid city” (Because of the scheduling associated with Covid-19) The wonderful story of Henry Schujer “makes every movie feel that they lack a major element than her lack of Owen Wilson. Finally, after the absence of the membranes, Murray returned to Anderson’s band this month “The Phoenician Plan,” And if it is in the role of a veil. However, as with all Murray’s manifestations in Anderson films, this is not a small role. For “The Foenician Scheme”, a return to an active patriarchal character in the form of Zsa-ZSA Korda from Benicio Del Toro, the Murray movie is used in a way that deepens the topic of this film in addition to summarizing all its roles in Anderson Cinema.

In the “Phoenician Plan”, it appears that Kurda has visions of the afterlife due to the many assassination attempts in his life, which led to at least one, if not several experiments, near death. Whether Korda is just a hallucination of Bergman-Meets-Powell and Pressburger or states (or remember) his actual experience, there is the point, because these scenes work to clarify the character (and the public), what is a mistake in his ways, etc., etc. In one of the scenes, Corda meets God, which Bill Murray plays, a character (the intended pun) for each of the scenes of the hereafter in this movie as well as Murray’s manifestations in the previous Anderson films. Certainly, Anderson does not try to directly anything Kevin Smith offer Askewniver Schehangan here – Murray’s god did not aim to be literally in the common world of Anderson. However, objectively, this is the effect of a veil.

This is because he wears an echo in the types of characters that Murray played with Anderson, as well as his relationship with Anderson in real life. In all over Anderson’s films, Murray sometimes played the original Patriarch (with “Water Life” and “The Kingdom of the Moon” clearer examples of this), but even in other variable -size roles, he had a tangible parental effect on the characters and the film itself. Claef Badger in “Fantastic MR. FOX” provides wisdom, and Herman Blume provides a “wonderful father” alternative to his true father in “Rushmore”, and M. Ivan helps search for Gustave in “The Grand Budapest Hotel”, and so on. Whatever the ability to appear, the presence of Murray in Anderson films tends to have ripples that extend through the entire movie.

Meanwhile, Wes Anderson considers himself Bill Murray a close relationship. He also explained in an interview with This article on Murray’s alleged misconduct in another movie in 2023, the actor occupies almost a religious space in his life:

“Bell was a great supporter for me from the beginning. I don’t want to talk about someone else’s experience, but he is really part of my family. As you know, he’s the godfather of my daughter. Actually, he has already baptized her. He is the person who sprayed water.”

With all this, who could God be in the world of Anderson but Bill Murray? In the movie “The Phoenician”, the god of Murray Kurda gives some hidden tips before making him play the game “The point in which the hand carries something inside”, which Corda loses, of course. Murray As God is an ideal packaging of Anderson’s art: a mixture of intelligence and warmth, which is an external volatile giving way. Even Murray, as the Lord, is not esteemed in itself, Anderson’s answer to the Murray mixture of mockery of his brothers and the imbalance of the horror, which is a quality that performed Woody Harrelson’s Talhasse Fanboying on the actor in “Zombieland”. Murray will undoubtedly continue to work with Anderson for the rest of his days, but this role may be his most important appearance in all Anderson films.
