The last time there was a “double strike” was 1960, when future United States President Ronald Reagan was head of the powerful Screen Actors Guild (SAG).

Key Points: 
  • The last time there was a “double strike” was 1960, when future United States President Ronald Reagan was head of the powerful Screen Actors Guild (SAG).
  • He was a quintessential B-movie star of the Hollywood Golden Age, acting in low-budget “second feature” movies.
  • In the 1930s and 1940s, Reagan was a self-proclaimed “New Deal Liberal” and a proud supporter of President Franklin Delano Roosevelt.
  • In 1947, he appeared as a “friendly” witness for Congress, blaming industrial unrest and strikes in Hollywood on “subversive” elements.

Leading the strike

    • Actors walked off sets in March, joining the Writers Guild of America, which had been on strike since early January 1960.
    • The actors’ strike lasted six weeks, paling in comparison to the 21-week writers’ strike.
    • Reagan resigned from the SAG presidency two months after the strike concluded.

A shift to the right

    • In the 1964 presidential election, he campaigned vigorously for Republican Barry Goldwater, a staunch conservative rejected by party moderates.
    • Goldwater opposed taxation and the social welfare state, voted against the Civil Rights Act on libertarian grounds, and viewed nuclear weapons as part of tactical warfare.
    • Yet 1964 proved to be the beginning, rather than the end, of the modern American right.

An anti-union president

    • He articulated a politics that incorporated economic conservatism, hawkish anticommunism and moral traditionalism, including opposition to legal abortion.
    • Reagan’s polish, charisma and sunny optimism made once politically extreme views palatable and attractive to ordinary Americans.
    • Reagan is the only union leader to serve as US President.

Wes Anderson has an obsessive, systematic repetition of stylistic choices. He’s perfect for this TikTok meme

I always feel like any character from one of my movies could walk into another one of the movies and be at home there.

Key Points: 
  • I always feel like any character from one of my movies could walk into another one of the movies and be at home there.
  • With the premiere of Asteroid City at the 2023 Cannes Film Festival next week, fans have been doing just that – walking themselves into faux Anderson movies.
  • TikTokers are creatively “Wes-Andersonifying” their everyday lives: at lunch, at the hotel pool or at the bookstore.

Reimagining a film style

    • Stanley Kubrick once said a film director is a “taste machine”, which Anderson revels in to excess.
    • Symmetry within the frame is perhaps the most obvious element of the Anderson film style and one easy to replicate in the TikToks.
    • This staging style is a departure from the mainstream visual style of film and television today which situates the camera at oblique angles to the actors, enhancing the layers of foreground, midground and background – closer to the way we see and experience the world.
    • Colour is another aspect of Wes Anderson’s visual style, which spills across the TikToks.

Where to next?

    • But these are isolated shots rather than Anderson’s obsessive, systematic repetition of stylistic choices within each film and across his oeuvre.
    • In filmmaking, moving the camera is often expensive, separating the amateur from the professional.
    • As part of his film style, Anderson uses the Classical Hollywood ratio of 4:3 seen in The French Dispatch.
    • And as generative AI representations of film style wash across social media there’s a new set of questions altogether.
