But we also get behind-the-scenes glimpses of that play's creation, from Earp meeting and casting the actor playing Augie, to the personal difficulties facing the play's director, Schubert Green (Adrien Brody). We see plenty of the play itself, which focuses on an American desert town where folks are gathering for an annual competition of young teen inventors, among them recently-widowed war photographer Augie Steenbeck (Jason Schwartzman) and his son Woodrow (Jake Ryan), and popular movie actress Midge Campbell (Scarlett Johansson) and her daughter Dinah (Grace Edwards). A television host (Bryan Cranston) introduces us to the idea that "Asteroid City" is, in fact, a play created by writer Conrad Earp (Edward Norton) in 1955. He does so with a nesting-doll structure for the artifice of his narrative. Asteroid City throws several paradigm shifts of post-World War II America-the atomic age, Method acting, television-into a blender, and emerges with typically hilarious and poignant study of how hard it is to pivot to a new reality. He tells stories about people who have set up regimented, carefully-composed lives for themselves, dealing with the introduction of chaotic change to their lives: the celebrated oceanographer facing the possible end of his career in The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou the family and community members reacting to impetuous young love in Moonrise Kingdom the meticulous concierge facing encroaching fascism in The Grand Budapest Hotel. That's not to say that it's a defensive, "I am so sincere and heartfelt" act of meta-filmmaking, but more that it doubles down what his films have almost always been about.
I'll simplify my own response to these complaints with a single word-"bollocks"-before turning to the possibility that Asteroid City is, at least in small part, Anderson's own response to them. Rich interaction with 3D visualization models, e.g.Every time a new Wes Anderson movie emerges, it feels like we have to re-litigate the same arguments about his work: that it's too precious and sterile, that it's all about quirky and mannered performances, that it lacks heart and soul.3D visualization models can be linked with Google Spreadsheets or database tables via PostgREST for dynamic querying of thematic data for clicked 3D objects.Layer management for adding and removing an arbitrary number of data layers like 3D visualization model (KML/glTF), 3DTiles datasets, WMS imagery layer, and Cesium digital terrain model.Support for efficient displaying, dynamic loading and unloading of large 3D visualization models in the form of tiled KML/glTF datasets exported from the 3DCityDB using the Importer/Exporter.
