Easter Eggs

There’s hardly a filmmaker out there with as quirky a reputation as Wes Anderson; his film sets are always packed with random souvenirs and doused in precisely calculated color. Amongst all of the cartographer’s maps, binoculars, bells, whistles, and every knick knack, doo dad, thingamajig, and whatever the hell else, Wes Anderson always manages to find a little extra room to sneak in secrets, Easter eggs, hidden references, and callbacks to his previous works and films.&nbsp; In fact, some of the most interesting secrets about his films aren’t even specifically hidden things, but rather interesting trivia that could only stem from a director like Anderson himself. Did you know that Owen Wilson had a lime in his shoe throughout the filming of The Darjeeling Limited? Or that Jason Schwartzman didn’t even wear shoes at all during the same film?

The cinema of&nbsp;<a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/wes-anderson-fan-theories/stephen-tompkins">Wes Anderson</a>, Prince of Quirk, one of the great American auteurs&nbsp;of the early 21st century, can be easily&nbsp;clocked&nbsp;thanks&nbsp;a few oft-repeated <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/best-cinematography-images/coy-jandreau">hallmarks</a>. These stylistic touchstones all overlap in some way; cinematography in Wes Anderson films, for instance, would be nothing without the production design and costumes&nbsp;that define&nbsp;the images. Common stylistic elements in Anderson's films include carefully selected color palettes, '70s clothes, Bill Murray, monosyllabic dialogue, Bill Murray, eclectic retro-pop soundtracks, and Bill&nbsp;Murray.But there's more at play in&nbsp;Anderson's&nbsp;films than&nbsp;Bill Murray in a beanie and Captain Birdseye&nbsp;beard and playing Portuguese covers of David Bowie songs. One of the most distinctive elements of Wes Anderson's visual style is&nbsp;something you may not have noticed, but see everywhere&nbsp;once you pick up on it: the&nbsp;use of symmetry.Some of the best Wes Anderson shots are perfectly symmetrical, others nearly so. What's the big deal with symmetrical movie shots?&nbsp;<a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/stanley-kubrick-shared-universe-theory/jacob-shelton">Kubrick</a> used them a lot, if that gives you any indication of their distinct and visually appealing nature. For his part, Wes Anderson&nbsp;goes to great, very&nbsp;meticulous lengths to achieve symmetry. So, which of all his&nbsp;symmetrical shots is&nbsp;the most symmetrically satisfying?&nbsp;Take a look at the contenders.&nbsp;&nbsp;

One might say that the work of Wes Anderson exists as a genre upon itself. His films - all twelve of them, live-action and animated, spanning old to new - have arguably&nbsp;the most identifiable&nbsp;style (or perhaps&nbsp;mise en sc&egrave;ne, in Wes&#39; case) of any filmmaker. Some of his most recognizable tropes include (but are most certainly not limited to) nostalgic set design, an overdose of whimsy, male protagonists who aren&#39;t in control of their feelings, characters suddenly running away from the camera, whip pans, and dead parents. And that run-on list only covers a small portion of the odds-and-ends that make a Wes Anderson film a Wes Anderson film. From his breakout successes like&nbsp;The Royal Tenenbaums&nbsp;and&nbsp;Rushmore&nbsp;to major theatrical successes like&nbsp;Moonrise Kingdom, you find these things in just about every film from the acclaimed writer/director.
