Garbo is the soul of this film

The biggest highlight of the film is the contrast between the pain of Garbo when he is lonely and the hope and happiness in life after he gets love. The female typist begins to feel pretty, but she can give up everything for money. Although I am not a saint, maybe I will always be in my heart. Keeping an obsession, terminally ill petite, showing love to the female typist right after the death of the baron, not to mention the cold blood of the entrepreneur, not to mention the sophistication of these people are very real people are forgotten immediately after death, maybe I'm 25 years older, I'm already Unable to bear this sad ending, I began to compromise to a happy and happy reunion

    Some details are still incomprehensible, such as the expression on the baron returning his wallet, he is undoubtedly the most tragic figure.

    The earlier multi-clue group portraits actually weave other secondary characters around one main thread (the Baron and the Ballet Queen's love at first sight triggers a follow-up event). The character design is full of intentional conflict, which is three-dimensional and interesting, and the simplicity of the story itself is hidden in the various character maps. The doctor with the mutilated face as a cold-eyed bystander seems to be a literary metaphor for the sound soul, while everyone else is driven to varying degrees of madness by desire. The tone is cloudy, but it is serious (or feels serious) because of the impermanence of life and death.

Grand Hotel quotes

  • Preysing: I don't know much about women. I've been married for 28 years, you know.

  • [to Preysing, after he tries to get 'familiar' with her by asking her to call him by his first name]

    Flaemmchen: You know I always say that nothing should be left hanging over. And names are like that. Suppose I met you next year and said, 'How do you do Mr. Preysing?' And you said, 'That's the young lady who was my secretary in Manchester.' That's all quite propper. But supposing I saw you and yelled 'Hi baby. Remember Manchester.'

    [he laughs]

    Flaemmchen: Yeah, and you were with your wife. How would you like that?
