The whole story of "Grand Hotel" takes place in Grand Hotel, and even time is very concentrated and limited to one day and one night, which is a typical dramatic structure. However, the film did not adhere to the closed "three-in-one" dogma, breaking through the most important "integrity of plot" in the "three-in-one" requirement. The film shows the fate of different characters. Although their lives intersect, they do not form a unified plot. It can be said that this unique narrative structure is still rare in early Hollywood movies. Although this kind of narrative structure would loosen the plot, the performance of the actors in the film more or less made up for this shortcoming. Perhaps the audience in the 21st century will feel old-fashioned when they see such a structure, but they don't realize that "Grand Hotel" is the original "suit". Generally speaking, watching the film in the 21st century, although there are some immature places, it is still worth enjoying

The English version of "Tea House". Garbo is so beautiful and Joan has good acting skills. The story is good. The Baron confirms Darwin’s principle of survival of the fittest. A man with a title, debt-laden and powerless, unnecessary self-esteem, does not accept the help of women, only steals but cannot even guarantee his own life. It's really pathetic. Look at other people's little typists who are self-reliant, and can't help but lower their eyebrows and follow their eyes, and they will have their first day.

At the end of the film, "The Blue Danube" was played. This dark and cold atmosphere suddenly had a hint of sneering teasing: the baron was dead, the dancer was gone, and the typist and the little man went to another "Grand Hotel". However, the pilot came, and the waiter's wife gave birth... As Dr. Scarface said, "The big hotel is always the same. People come and go, everything is business as usual", we are guarding different eras, but we always walk the same pace
