The trailer for "The Grand Budapest Hotel" is scum. When I started watching the trailer, I thought the movie was a funny comedy with a mix of platters, and the same was true for the introduction. It turns out that the movie originally had a plot, so I watched it as a detective drama; it turned out that there was a theme in the plot, so I went on watching it as a literary film; finally I found that there is not only literature, but also politics, and history. There is also culture, which is a film with realm and hierarchy that satisfies the faithful and elegant. Then I saw the last five minutes and cried into tears directly in the theater. why? It's like a story of little love and little love. At the beginning, you think the structure is very small, that is, the protagonist is involved in a heritage dispute, a little suspenseful, a little comedy, and a little black humor; then you find that there is a transcendence between the two protagonists , Culture and values ​​of friendship, and the seemingly humble little protagonist and his own love, feel very warm; then I find that behind this little love story, the dark clouds of politics and war always hang over it, a little bit A little bit of human civilization and favor; finally there is a climax and a comedy ending. You think it’s like "Seventy-two Tenants", everyone is happy, and each family goes to each mother, but Jude Law asks more " In the end?" I found that you thought eternal happiness was so short, and the ending of a small reunion could not be worth the tragedy of the great era. According to Zweig, this is the demise of an era, the disappearance of the last civilization of mankind (I don’t know what he would think if he lived to this day), the nobles with their clothes and temples have fallen; the artworks of human civilization have disappeared. The gentleman who was able to fight for the fate of a little doorman was killed; the disappearing world disappeared long before Mr. Gustav realized it; so Zweig would commit suicide, just Like Uncle Boyi who didn't eat Zhousu, it was more like those literati who resigned and lived in seclusion after the end of the Ming Dynasty, writing "Tao An Dream Recollection", dreaming of remembering their homeland. He is the only one who lives alone in this once-precious and well-loved Budapest Hotel, living in the servant's room on the top of the building that is not reachable by the elevator, just to miss the short and happy time of his dead wife. Director Wes Anderson’s style is so conspicuous. He has learned from "Moonrise Kingdom". Many details of this movie seem to be very familiar, such as the plot of the lawyer's broken finger and the little girl in "Moonrise Kingdom." The plot of piercing and bleeding ear studs in the ears is obviously the same person's black humor and evil taste. Not to mention the conversion of the lens, the creation of the scene design, and the comic-like colors. See more film reviewshttp://www.wangxiaoxin.net

    Wes Anderson’s signature island creation, though changing the frame to present a “moll”-like time structure, is still self-enclosed in nature. Everything originated in the Budapest Grand Hotel, and everything is gathered here. The whole story runs in Weiss’s unique worldview track. I often stare at the red fire hydrant on the side of the road and think: It's too much like Weiss's movie.

    Forgive me for not being in the play from start to finish...well, I am really tired of Wes Anderson...

The Grand Budapest Hotel quotes

  • M. Gustave: I must say, I find that girl utterly delightful. Flat as a board, enormous birthmark the shape of Mexico over half her face, sweating for hours on end in that sweltering kitchen, while Mendl, genius though he is, looms over her like a hulking gorilla. Yet without question, without fail, always and invariably, she's exceedingly lovely.

  • M. Gustave: You're the first of the official death squads to whom we've been formally introduced. How do you do?
