Wes Anderson has said that his films “point out the beauty in flaws and vice versa.” This quote speaks to his films in many ways, however it specifically draws upon the way he creates characters. Anderson rarely uses what we would consider to be a villain. Instead, he crafts characters that are damaged and often destructive and strives to portray them in a somewhat positive manner. These characters tend to be respected middle-aged men who are frauds and are striving to overcome their flaws. In each of his films there is at least one character that smokes, drinks, or does drugs excessively. While the basic outline of characters have been repeated in his films, Anderson always differentiates between each character and adds peculiar and eccentric touches to each film.
