I can understand trolling to keep on riding QT; even me calling it trolling is more of a joke because I agree with you calling the characters insincere in Django. But Wes Anderson? Horrible example. Just because a movie's setting is 'whimsical surrealism' doesn't mean the characters can't be sincere...if that's the case genre cinema itself is insincere.

His whole lane is quirky upper middle class folks dealing with mid life crises..in fact the sincerity is how he grounds them/makes em relatable to the audiences as opposed to us immediately getting turned off to what bratty pricks they actually are...mortality, failing at your life goals, etc...all high stakes important, relatable and SINCERE things to an audience. Not all his movies achieve this (Bottle Rocket), and some try to convey it and fail (Darjeeling), but that's his lane to a tee. You may feel he fails (and I can understand why, look at the prick comment above)...but that's the number one thing he's trying to sell, lol.

"Other critics have suggested "new sincerity" as a descriptive term for work by American filmmakers such as Wes Anderson, P. T. Anderson, Todd Louiso, Sofia Coppola, and Charlie Kaufman, Zach Braff, and Jared Hess, and filmmakers from other countries such as Michel Gondry, Lars von Trier, the Dogme 95 movement, Aki Kaurismäki, and Pedro Almodóvar."

What's your definition of sincerity where M.Night passes the sniff test but Wes Anderson fails miserably? Extremely somber characters moping around?
