Wes Anderson has ended each of his films with a slow motion sequence, generally starting with a close up and gradually panning out. This is one of Anderson’s trademarks that has a significant impact on the feeling and attitude at the end of the film. He is able to control how the audience reacts by his choice of music, which tends to be on the epic side. By slowing down a grand moment, the viewer is able to take in each aspect of the film including the plot, the cinematography, as well as the music. This allows the audience to reflect on the movie while it is still playing. The slow motion sequence adds a feeling of finality and resolution regardless of what ended up happening. The final sequences of each of Anderson’s films are brilliantly put together.
