Final Paper Topic: Wes Anderson's progressive role in Dark Comedy

Wes Anderson is a relavtively knew name and face in the arena of darm comedy made for the big screen. His first movie "Bottle Rocket" was written and directed by him and was the first in a line of five other movies that he directed, wrote and produced. In his first movie Anderson seems to only dip into his well-stylized skewed humor. It is more of a flighty and odd story of misfits but lays a pretty solid foundation for the basis of what most of his movies would be grounded upon. I plan to write my final paper on how Anderson has used dark comedy to progress the modern use of irony and has made a distinct contribution to the genre. I want to show that Anderson has not just used dark comedy in his movies but has gone beyond simple utilization and has impacted the stylized humor through the use of film.
