"I'm sorry." "You can't be." What an ending. It's so devastating that it left me a bit speechless. No matter the good deeds you do for others, it will be ignored because your race and religion is a problem for some people. And that brings the end to the daily Wes Anderson's Netflix-Journey. I'm sad that it's over but I'm happy it exists. Dev Patel, Benedict Cumberbatch, Ben Kingsley, Ralph Fiennes, Richard Ayoade, and Rupert Friend were all terrific. AI and dumb TikTok users could never do this. All these short films are the finest work from Mr. Anderson. I hope he makes more movies like this in the future.

When Woods (Dev Patel) finds Harry (Benedict Cumberbatch), who thinks that his pajamas harbour a sleeping krait, laying still and silent in bed he calls Dr. Ganderbai (Ben Kingsley) for help. Like Wes Anderson's other recent Roald Dahl shorts, the film is highly stylised, with stage-like settings, rapid-fire but artificial sounding dialogue, and characters who frequently break the fourth wall. Not a lot happens as Ganderbai works to remove the snake without awakening it. The cryptic ending, which finds Harry (perhaps delusional from breathing chloroform) verbally abusing the Bengali doctor who sought to help him, is quite abrupt.

The whole point of acting is that a person plays another person realistically, that Ben Kingsley convinces us he's this doctor, that Tom Hardy convinces us he's Charlie Bronson or Venom, hell, that Bill Murray IS and always will be Garfield and Peter Venkman. But when the characters are so stylised by Wes Andersons weird weird style, is that going to happen? We know that people don't talk in those stacatto rhythms, they don't run really fast over there with their arms by their sides, they don't snap their heads around like budgies on crack to talk to the camera. So we are left with the question of what it is the actors are actually doing in such films as this, because acting is about bringing a character to Life, into reality. The story was good, I liked the story, and the moral. I could have just read the book for that. I just felt that the characters shouldn't have been the strange little cartoons that Wes Anderson spits out. Don't get me wrong, sometimes it works! The Grand Budapest Hotel is a masterpiece, and the characterisation I'm moaning about seemed to work very well in that movie. However, in these shorts I'm not sure it did.

Starring Benedict Cumberbatch, Ralph Fiennes & Ben Kingsley this is the story of a man who finds a highly venomous snake asleep under a book resting open on his stomach as he lays in bed. Able to summon help, a doctor then comes to his aid injecting him with a counteracting medicine incase he's bitten after which chloroform is then put under his bedsheets to prevent the snake from waking up after which it seems there is actually no snake to be found. I'm by no means a Wes Anderson fan but I actually liked the suspense of this film but felt the ending let it down, that being said, it is only 17 minutes long & it's not bad so if you like Wes Anderson then you might aswell give it a watch.

This is getting out of hand. Can somebody talk to this man and make him accept and seek help that he needs to be again great director that he is. Wes Anderson does not know how to tell a story. He is master of decorating a story, authentically performing his vision, and generally visual design. But telling a story is not his strongest quality. All the great work he made was written in collaboration with someone, why did he stop taking help is beyond me. Its a shame, cause this talented man should have never made stuff like his last 3,4 projects which were all a disaster. Its a stain on his career and i dont know if i can take it anymore without it ruining my opinions on his best work like Moonrise Kingdom, Grand Budapest, Fantastic Mr. Fox and Royal Tenebaum. This amazing short story by Dahl is butched in such a way that it is hard to swallow. Please Wes, ask for help when writing, you need it and thats not a bad thing, its a wonderful thing cause obviously on his past work we can see that he is thriving when collabing with others.

This is a very simple story in which we find the protagonist lying in bed and suffering. This tries to be solved by his partner and also by the help of a doctor. The acting in this Short story is great, Benedict Cumberbatch Manages to perform his character to perfection just by lying in bed and moving his face. I also want to point out the sparks of comedy that this story has, makes me remember that funny Doctor Strange. Together with the other two characters actings, the magic of Wes Anderson and the resources that he uses to sweeten the story and make it Sooooo tense, they create a magic story which is not really that magic. After watching the other tales, this one shows too much of the story which takes some importance off the narrator. ¡Go watch it by yourself!
