Awesome!
I watched it last night and loved it.
The found much symbolism in the movie whether it was intended or not.
Great film. I will watch it again soon to get a better feel for it.

It has some great music. A lot of Wes Anderson movies, including The Darjeeling Limited are really tough to describe. They don't really fit into a distinct genre.
Good film though.

Easy, a family comedy for families who drink, smoke and like to do drugs. A+ is my book.
Don't know whether I like it or The Life Aquatic better.

Leaving the baggage in india really stuck out to me.

Fantastic movie. Seeing Natalie Portman side-naked in the short film before it might be influencing my decision though.

I'm not the biggest fan of Wes Anderson, but the Darjeeling Limited was definitely my favorite of his movies. It was pretty good

Wow, I totally need to add the Life Aquatic to my library of movies. I can't believe I forgot how great that shit was.
So the general consensus is that Darjeeling Limited is worth checking out? Cool, I'll probably watch it this week.
-------------------- My advice is to find those things that give pleasure and do them often without too much attachment and relax and wait for the show to end. -Icelander- I like free markets and all. Truly I do, at least in general, but there needs to be some kind of oversight in recognition of sustainability. Life works the same way, on a bunch of sustainable systems. Why not honor what made us what we are and take some lessons? Nature FTW! ~dill705~
