Just something that immediately caught my eye, because technique is such a big part of what he does. Maybe my eyes are just too perfect.

From my own education about movies and really good filmmakers, along with countless interviews I've read about their decisions in key scenes, the good ones have intent behind every choice. I can think of few other directors who are more intentional than Anderson in their choices in a scene. Everything he does is with purpose. You can assume that if there's a "flaw" in the shot, it's done on purpose to create an effect in the audience.
And no, filmmaking is almost never about being perfect, it's about evoking a unconscious response in the audience.
