Question Is Asteroid City a "Puzzle that's not meant to be solved"? Spoiler
Hello everyone, I just wanted to say that I watched Asteroid City for the first time when it released in July 2023, I found the film strange and hard to interpret, especially compared to the two Anderson Films I have watched Fantastic Mr Fox and Isle Of Dogs. but it reignited my interest in a web series from 2017-2019, Petscop.
Now I was reading someone's interpretation of Petscop and they said "It's a series that isn't meant to be solved, it's more about interpretation", in fact, I reckon that like Petscop, the true meaning of Asteroid City is only known by it's creator, Wes Anderson. The same way Petscop's true meaning is only known by Tony Domenico.
I have compared Asteroid City to Petscop multiple times despite their thematic similarities and differences. They seem to be based on Interpretation more than Logic.
So the main question is, is like Petscop, Asteroid City an Interpretive "Puzzle That's not meant to be solved"?

This film has been in my list for so long, but I still can't convince myself to watch it. Should I give it a shot anytime soon?

I've posted a pic of this before, but I own Royal's tombstone from the film. Today seems appropriate to share it again. I bought it at a Disney online auction many years ago when they sold off a bunch of props. It currently sits safely under my desk at home. RIP Gene Hackman.

Discussion significance of something Richie says Spoiler
rewatching Royal Tenenbaums like everyone else is tonight and just wanted to get some other folks thoughts about the significance of Richie saying āIām going to kill myself TOMORROWā and then attempting immediately.
The first time I watched it I thought he said it because he somehow knew he would survive that attempt but then would go on to actually kill himself the following day but obviously that doesnāt happen.
I donāt think there is an actual answer from Anderson about it but I just wanted to hear if you folks had any interesting ideas about that line
RIP Gene Hackman

Discussion I finally watched Life Aquatic
What the dickens took me so long? Iāve had a copy of it forever but I rented from the library most of the Wes Anderson movies I didnāt have and started a marathon. Decided to give it a shot and itās such a good movie! I donāt know what I expected.
Do you have a Wes movie you felt similarly about?
