Let me start by stating how much I truly love Wes Anderson movies. He tells an amazing story and makes an amazing movie. I have loved following his career. I also truly love Roald Dahl. I loved sharing his stories, my childhood stories, with my children. The Swan is a harrowing story about the human spirit and the darkness in the world trying to crush it. This story specifically holds a special place in my heart. So out of character for him to write something so dark. He knew the story had to be told, and that he was the right man to tell it.
Imagine how much I was looking forward to watching my favorite visual artist put one of my favorite literary artists on the screen and tell this amazing story. How truly devastated I was to find this lazy, unfeeling, retelling of the story. I demand a re-do! Wes Anderson, you are so much better than this.
