MONTBLANC | '100 Years of MEISTERSTÜCK'

[@johnernest5843]

This little video makes me wish Wes Anderson would act in front of the camera in his films. He acts and delivers lines very well, and his chemistry with his long term actor friends lends an air of relaxed naturality between them!

[@mehdinowroozi3516]

He ~is~ the actors

[@max-olson]

Agreed!

[@ResDogOrange]

He should narrate all his films! But on screen as a character like Richard Ayoade in The Rat Catcher.

[@srpacific]

This is some of the worst acting I’ve seen in a long time 😂

[@drbeechwood]

He was the Real Estate Agent weasel in Fantastic Mr. Fox.

[@ChristopherSibert]

This wasn't even made for Montblanc, this is just how Wes Anderson lives in real life.

[@570Media]

😄

[@PASTRAMIKick]

crazy to know he watched and really likes Evangelion wtf

[@Jakob.Hamburg]

@@PASTRAMIKick It is a very powerful and well made anime series. My favorite. Thank you for telling, I didn't know that.

[@shiven513]

Wes is the most Wes Anderson character after all

[@Kevin0con]

I never thought I’d repeat-watch an ad for a pen, but here we are!

[@TheRaymanFan]

also watches and leather goods!

[@loretapalombo9460]

How inspiring is the fusion between Wes Anderson's personal aesthetics with the history of the pen. Perfect combination!

[@ayanmaiti913]

❤

[@ThomasFlight]

Why is this Montblanc ad like that?

[@thefinaltake3902]

this is a deep cut

[@brickalmonds]

the loose improvisational feel of this gives this ad unironically gives it more energy and life than the last four shorts he did put together. perhaps Wes is going more ordered-chaos and less ordered-order with his future works?

[@methos1999]

You should do a video about this ad for nebula or patreon subscribers 😁😁

[@omarmahmoud5786]

Mr video essay ❤

[@frankbombaci4977]

Why are you like this?

[@micahchung2975]

This has all the quirkiness, intrigue, and planned randomness that I love from Wes Anderson.

[@craigbesscares]

He actually designed the pen and they agreed to produce it. Will be limited to 1969 pieces $2,500 price

[@TlaIock]

Dollars?

[@craigbesscares]

@@TlaIock yes

[@bzipoli]

it's not actually that expensive for less than 2000 pcs limited edition i was expecting way more

[@JamesLawner]

I do not have Taylor Swift money to pay for a pen! 😭

[@mm9773]

Ah, for the simple man.

[@noahlindauer]

This makes me want to see Wes' animatics a lot more now. Bob Yeoman (Wes' cinematographer) has said on a few interviews that Wes makes animatics of every one of his films down to every detail where Wes performs every line of dialogue down to every pause and overlap. Truly incredible attention to detail

[@rohangondor6250]

What’s an animatic?

[@noahlindauer]

@@rohangondor6250 It's basically an animated storyboard with every shot in the film. Anderson draws out the vibes, shows the blocking, and the design of the film. It's more common on animated films (he picked this up after doing Fantastic Mr. Fox) where animated filmmakers would make these anamatics to see how the animation is flowing and to find pacing, shot selection, and other details before fully animating it to save time

[@qtrfoil]

@@noahlindauer Thanks!

[@TheIronSnail]

This is the greatest ad I’ve ever seen

[@drbeechwood]

The H&M Christmas ad is even better.

[@jbundy95]

Not surprised to see you here Michael! Also, I agree, it's definitely up there..

[@darrensnyder4162]

his ad for Prada is fantastic too, Castello Cavalcanti

[@ameenabedrabbo4147]

Oh my god, I love seeing Wes act in his own work, even if it's for an ad. He has a very humorous personality, I would love to see him someday write himself into his own movie although he probably won't, which is fine

[@Dman10167]

Did we just witness the best short film of 2024?!

[@mm9773]

No.

[@Wolfeen]

Maybe?

[@KhetaniMichael]

No, we didn't. Refreshing ad though.

[@danielmoksmann5654]

Wes Anderson is perfect for this.

[@wisperingbeard]

My worlds are colliding.

[@FromtheSoultotheFretboard]

These Wes Anderson ads are some of my favorites!! Simple, not forced, and you come away with a deep education in the said product. Bravo and Well Done!!

[@gonzalopenas1929]

Wes delivering, in person. You don’t always get what you paid for, fortunately this is clearly not the case. Great collaboration, excited to see what’s next :)

[@ariverbythesea]

Even with commercials Wes makes it so whimsical and non-forced.

[@cinemacrema2349]

That's so cool to see Wes acting, I can see now why every actors line delivery is perfect in his movies, the direction has to be just as good with this acting chops!

[@johnmegu3616]

What a genius way of putting out an ad with all the textures of Wes Anderson film.

[@sondre1848]

Love Wes’ little condescending chuckle at 2:13

[@soromantical]

This feels like a pre-Disney ride video in the best way possible.

[@adamlemmon]

Ummm... Best pen ad ever. Well done Wes and well done Mont Blanc -- love it 🙌

[@KIDZONBRIDGES]

THAT WAS DIVINE ❤ Im starting a petition for Wes to direct and star in ALL future commercials. I would watch them all gladly 😊

Here hear... do it mate!!

This one is right up there with his American Express commercial.

[@larissabarbosa9924]

I'm a film student and I would give my soul to work with Wes Anderson, he's such an inspiration!

[@carfish]

Only Wes can make such chit-chatty dialogue feel structured and timed to a tee. Awesome ad, funny people, good job Montblanc!

[@ripvanstinkle]

I will never never never tire of Wes Anderson’s aesthetic. Never.

[@ClemyNX]

I found it tiring after half a movie.

Thanks for ordering this mini film Mont Blanc! Love the small West Anderson ads/mini films

[@rhv3201]

This is the kind of ad I wouldn't skip

[@deatheater987]

This is the best ad I've seen in a long time. So enjoyable to watch.

[@MrChan9000]

I don't know why, but I felt like the "It was a week before the solstice when little Helmut finally realized he was being hunted by a polar bear" was code for something. Would have been cool if it were. Perhaps, I am not smart enough to figure it out... or just suspicious enough to be deluded. Still! I am looking forward to his pen as I am his movies. I just hope it is affordable. Great video!

Unfortunately there's only one Mont Blanc and I doubt France & Italy would be happy to let you have it. Also, how would you take it and where would you put it?!

Great to see a few minutes of Wes’ live stream

[@michaelcarpenter1179]

I just LOVE everything Montblanc! This was fantastic. Thank you for making and posting this piece.

This is lovely ❤ I love how Rupert Friend has now completely become part of the Wes Anderson squad. Fits in great

I can’t believe how much I enjoyed this. Thoroughly entertained and will be watching again. The acting moments are so good.

very silly and fun! thank you Mr. Anderson for your vision and intriguing pen design!

[@GreenGrassOfTunnels]

I didn't expect to see him so comfortable in front if the camera. great stuff

who recognized it's Wes' work just from the thumbnail? 🙋‍♂

[@iiiivvvv9986]

I saw Jason Schwartzman, thought "wait a minute", looked to his right and realised that was Wes Anderson

[@Notmyfruit]

I was so sure that, this videos wasnt 3min long, almost like 30 seconds. Wes always does this.

[@susanaduarteraposo]

One of my favourite brands! I completely love MONTBLANC

[@kyoyameganebereznoff]

I’ve really enjoyed the sort of stage play style in Wes Anderson’s recent work.

[@techcdrive1702]

i thought it was a movie, anddddddd very good movie but now this video leaves an impression or footprint of Montblanc on my subconscious. they acted soooo well and the setup, it must have been difficult to shoot movies or videos like this, it requires lot of continuous and constant flow of energy both on camera and behind camera to shoot with less retake and a balanced flow of dialogue. fantastic, loved it. 10/10

[@zachkockler4995]

Fantastic. I never considered getting a Montblanc, but now I want one.

[@JaneDoeEyes]

Right? Just part of the genius in selecting him as a brand ambassador. An entirely new demographic of customers is born with one short film!

[@patrickl9930]

You want a $600 pen that does the exact same work as a bic

[@zachkockler4995]

@@patrickl9930 short answer yes. Every article that I write starts with a bic round stic and a five subject notebook. It takes me about 6 months to go through a single pen (yes I finish them) that then get discarded. With that pen goes the written object memory of everything that I wrote, just like the 100 billion bic pens that have been tossed before it. Yes, I want a pen that is special and that I can keep for the rest of my life. I aspire to become the best writer I can possibly be and, someday, finish writing my masterpiece of a novel. What better pen to use than the meisterstuck (masterpiece) from one of the best pen companies.

So refreshing - great fun! Unlikely to ever have a Montblanc but respect for putting this together - love it!

[@JamesGWall]

God dammit, now I need a Montblanc. It’s like they knew…

This makes for an excellent double-feature (double-ad?) with Michael Bay's FiOS commercial. Now I need one where Abrams is selling light bulbs, Lucas speaks in whole paragraphs and Spielberg keeps being talked over by his co-stars.

If you had one, you would. Get a fountain pen this time, perhaps the Meisterstück 149 Origin and a journal with TRP and a smyth sewn binding; you will be inspired. I promise.
