But what aspects make Anderson’s films so captivating and popular? 

  Anderson utilizes symmetry, balance, and unique visual aesthetics to draw the eye to the center of his shots. Other unique aspects of his films are the witty banter between characters, building miniature models, and limited color palettes. Chaotic family dynamics and snap shots are a few elements of Anderson’s films that he is known for. 

  Another notable thing that Anderson does is cast many of the same actors in his films. For example, Bill Murray is cast in “The Royal Tenenbaums”, “The Grand Budapest Hotel”, “The French Dispatch”, “Isle Of Dogs”, and “Moonrise Kingdom”, and numerous others. 

Additionally, Anderson likes to include humorous bits within his complicated, dramatic plotlines.
