00:03 You know it when you see it.
00:15 There's a bit of delight, some essence of whimsy,
00:18 some pastel color palette, maybe some symmetry.
00:23 There have been many parodies online about what makes
00:25 a Wes scene work for us.
00:29 It's something a bit more intangible
00:31 because we have to relate the image to a story.
00:34 And if the story isn't there, it is not

00:38 It has to pair a beautiful image with a deserving story.

01:13 so they're not in his films.
01:15 But it's definitely-- you can feel his presence here,
01:18 as it were.
