The 'Acting Like You're in a Wes Anderson Film' trend exploded in early 2023, specifically on TikTok and Instagram, where creators began romanticizing mundane tasks through the director's unique lens. The meme is characterized by symmetrical framing, a vivid yet pastel color palette, and quirky, deadpan performances often set to 'Obituary' by Alexandre Desplat. It celebrates and parodies Anderson's recognizable style, which includes fast-paced montages and vintage-inspired typography. Users typically pair a title card describing a simple activity with a highly stylized video or image, turning the ordinary into a piece of whimsical cinema.
