this film be about a lot of thing i think the primary motif and theme be the male body the three brother wear slim fitting and 60 or 70 style suit and accessory and and be often show in little more than a pair of boxer or light cotton pajama . they run in slow motion while they place themselves physically close to one another even when they be in conflict while and jason schwartzman love scene with rita be visually pg ( no nudity and no obvious humping ) but when he lick his finger and put them somewhere down below the camera frame and he participate in one of the more sensual sex scene i have see . moreover and the brother save the three indian boy from the river and must grasp onto them physically and bodily this contact be essential . the father of the one dead boy also wash and oil his son corpse . the film be about heterosexual and intimate and male male contact how men can become close to one another physically and emotionally and and spiritually without any suspicion of homosexual undercurrent . this male male friendship maybe bro love . be the rock upon which the shift visual sand of the movie come to rest . woman disrupt and but bring joy brotherhood be difficult and it be not a choice and but it be somehow far deep than romantic love . the film be beautiful pure and sensual and deadpan and intentionally eccentric wes anderson but betraying and a always and an emotional impulse towards the family romance the inimitable love between family member that respect one another .
