| The
final, strikingly beautiful image of a rosy-cheeked lad riding on
Zissou’s shoulders is a visual exclamation point to the message
of the film. The spark of wonder is everywhere in life; the whole
creation proclaims the glory of God. Live life to the fullest and
keep looking forward with excitement and ambition. |

| SYNOPSIS
|
 Internationally
famous oceanographer Steve Zissou (Bill Murray) and his crew -- Team
Zissou -- set sail on an expedition to hunt down the mysterious, elusive,
possibly non-existant Jaguar Shark that killed Zissou's partner during
the documentary filming of their latest adventure. They are joined
on their voyage by a young airline co-pilot who may or may not be
Zissou's son (Owen Wilson), a beautiful journalist (Cate Blanchett)
assigned to write a profile of Zissou, and Zissou's estranged wife
and co-producer, Eleanor (Anjelica Huston). They face overwhelming
complications including pirates, kidnapping, and bankruptcy. Oscar-nominated
writer/director Wes Anderson ("Rushmore," "The Royal
Tenenbaums") has assembled an all-star cast that also includes
Willem Dafoe, Jeff Goldblum, Michael Gambon, Noah Taylor, and Bud
Cort in this wildly original adventure-comedy. |

 Want
to see something completely different from the rest of the cookie-cutter
genre movies that are currently playing? Director and co-writer
Wes Anderson has created a colorful and quirky world in The
Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou—a place where
animated fish swim and trained dolphins practice reconnaissance.
The movie reminds one of the beautifully intricate decorations
inside a child’s doll house: each detailed piece is neatly
in place and deserving to be seen. The characters, props and set
design should be preserved in a coffeetable book for repeated
viewing. And similar to Anderson’s previous gem The Royal
Tenenbaums, each frame of the film is a carefully arranged work
of art. One could simply enjoy the artsy sound track and absorb
the visual richness and feel satisfied. And how about Zissou’s
cool ship, the Belafonte?! I can’t think of a boy who wouldn’t
give their lunch money to tour its various rooms and decks (including
this boy).
