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

Occupational disease, the whole film is most concerned about the decoration, design, furniture and equipment of the entire hotel... The content itself, probably because they are all-stars, the two heroines are so beautiful, the story itself... It tends to be second-class level, especially the play In the eyes of modern people, too many things cannot stand scrutiny and are too idealized~

After watching a movie from 81 years ago, I suddenly have a very strange feeling that no one is alive from the creator to the backstage. At that time, Hollywood actors were really good at acting, and Garbo was really beautiful. Seeing that the waiters at the hotel so long ago were no different from now, I was a little surprised. People come, people go, nothing ever happens. Well said.

Grusinskaya: Who are you?
Baron Felix von Geigern: Someone who could love you, that's all. Someone who's forgotten everything else but you.
Grusinskaya: You could love me?
Baron Felix von Geigern: I've never seen anything in my life as beautiful as you are.

Grusinskaya: Can you imagine a hundred girls in the ballet school, each thinking she would become the most famous dancer in all the world? I was ambitious then. We were drilled like little soldiers. No rest, no stopping. I was little, slim, but hard as a diamond. Then I became famous and - But why am I telling you all this? Last night, I didn't know you at all. Who are you, really?
Baron Felix von Geigern: What?
Grusinskaya: I don't even know your name.
Baron Felix von Geigern: [laughs] I am Felix Benvenuto Freihern von Geigern. My mother called me "Flix".
Grusinskaya: [joyously] No! Flix! Oh, that's sweet. And how do you live? And what kind of a person are you?
Baron Felix von Geigern: I'm a prodigal son, the black sheep of a white flock. I shall die on the gallows.
