The Royal Tenenbaums

Royal's cigarette jumps from his hand to the ashtray repeatedly when he is having a conference with his three children.

When Royal and Pagoda first meet in front of the hot-dog stand, the blind man with a dog sitting on a bench behind them has sunglasses in one shot and no sunglasses in the next.

A crew member is reflected on a red car as the camera cranes down outside the Tenenbaum household before Etheline and Henry's wedding.

The large snowflakes that settle on Royal when he is kicked out of the house disappear and reappear between shots (it is not consistent with their melting and being replaced by fresh ones).

When Margot gets her finger chopped off, the log she's holding jumps from her left hand to her right immediately before it is chopped.

When Margot and Royal are watching the Peter Bradley Show together in Ritchie's room, the door to the hallway is clearly open.

However, when Ritchie enters the room from the hallway, he has to open the (now fully closed) door.

Reflected on police car at the end of the movie, when Elijah 'Eli' Cash is being interrogated by a policeman.

When Kumar and Royal are in the game closet, there is an shot of one of the Dalmatian mice running across a shelf filled with games.

The games in this shot are arranged in a completely different order than in the rest of the scene (and the previous game closet scene).

In the tent, Margot places the phonograph needle in the middle of one side of 'The Rolling Stones' (qv) album.

However, when the song ends, the needle is shown at the end of the first track.

Artist 'Elliott Puckette' (qv)'s name is badly misspelled in the credits (her paintings appear in the film).

When Pagoda stabs Royal outside the house, we see him holding the knife in his right hand as he opens the door with his left.

When it cuts to a wider shot of him stabbing Royal, the knife is in his left hand.

When Royal takes Ari and Uzi on their adventure and they are riding the garbage truck, the opening shot shows a side view of the trio.

In this shot, Royal is not wearing his cap in following shots, Royal is wearing his cap backwards.

During Richie's attempted suicide he has barely begun to shave his beard before he slashes his arms.

In the next scene at the hospital he is clean shaved.

It is doubtful they would have shaved his beard clean at the hospital or allowed him the use of a razor to do it himself the very same night he attempted suicide.

During Royal's funeral scene, Henry Sherman's son Walter, a U.

Navy Lieutenant, has fewer medal ribbons on his uniform than he did during the wedding scenes earlier on in the film.

In the earlier scenes he has 6 medal ribbons, in the funeral scene he only has 4.

When Richie is seated and waiting for Margot to pick him up at the passenger ship terminal, the shot shows several sailors wearing dress white uniforms walk by behind him.

After a shot of Margot, the next shot of Richie shows a porter behind him pushing a baggage cart.

The sailors are nowhere to be seen.

During the tent scene, a 'The Rolling Stones' (qv) record is playing.

The two songs played consecutively are "She Smiled Sweetly" and "Ruby Tuesday".

It is clear that no tracks are skipped.

Although both songs are on the Rolling Stones' album "Between the Buttons", these songs have never appeared consecutively on any Stones' release.

During the suicide scene, Richie Tenebaum has an very uneven haircut and has only shaved a small portion of his face, with the rest of the shaving cream still on his face as he attempts suicide and as he is rushed through the hospital.

When he is in the recovery room, his hair is evenly cut and his face is freshly shaved.

I have seen this movie several times and it's just not as great as everyone says. I am tired of this notion that "you just don't get it", like there is a secret club of pretentious intellectuals who are the only people who understand this film.

Perhaps the most special thing about a Wes Anderson film is that it feels like a complete emotional journey by the end, and this is particularly true of "The Royal Tenenbaums", "Rushmore", and "The Darjeeling Limited". "Rushmore" boasts a stunningly well-written love triangle which is rather implausible, as are many of the events which occur in the film, but because the characters feel so absolutely real one can believe it.

Its astonishing to me how similar the particular method of directing has been in The Royal Tenenbaums, as to the French movie Amélie. Both movies have narratives about the people in a similar odd way, with a sort of comic book childishness to it.

I saw this film years ago, and I guess I've evolved. I didn't remember any of the disturbing animal things in this movie nowadays I wouldn't have watched it.

Not only is this my favorite Wes Anderson movie, but this is also one of my favorite movies of all time. Aesthetically, it's beautiful, which is no surprise since Wes Anderson is the master of imagery.

This film is so good, it's fast paced and it's fresh. I was never not interested the whole time I was watching this amazing film.

I've always avoided Wes Anderson movies, but like Tarantino and Reservoir Dogs, I wanted to see what all the fuss was about."Was it interesting?

Great mix of comedy and tragedy, amazing characters, beautiful set design and costuming. i watch it at least once every year.

I'll preface this by saying before watching this movie, I had only seen one other film by Wes Anderson called Moonrise Kingdom. Although, I felt I was able to get a good impression on his style from that one film because it was s unique.
