We all have starting points. That’s a part of life. Points in our life that will define who we are and what we do. If you’re from Dallas, like me, you were born, you started school here, and then you may have embarked on a writing and broadcasting career. It’s just an example. But filmmakers have a different kind of starting point that are often defined by the place they shoot their first film. For another individual, going by the name of Wes Anderson, a crucial starting point began in this same city, sometime in 1995 or so. He invited along a few local actors and some buddies from college, plus a prominent, big screen legend of days gone by. Seconds into the finished project, which came in 1996, the title was unveiled: Bottle Rocket, complete with the appropriate sound effects of the titular reference. It was based on a short film by the same name, a couple of years prior.
There was nothing outstanding about the movie in terms of its cinematography or storyline. As I have pointed out so many times before, the strength of a low-budget film tends to be in its characters, rather than its plot and Bottle Rocket is no different. The unlikely love story is charming and the relationship between two, average individuals and their laughable goals for the short term (and the long term) are a joy to watch, in all its silliness and insanity.
