Good group drama: 7, 5/10, the hotel is always the same, people come and go, everything is business as usual. Joan Crawford is an unbeautiful vase, the baron is the cannon fodder, and the terminally ill old man wins: gambling table + beauty, the lady played by Greta Garbo looks like an old pearl and yellow actress from Sunset Boulevard, with exaggerated body...

Recent favorites. The fates of five different characters in a luxury hotel are intertwined, but they are nothing but an insignificant scene in the bustling repertoire. There are industrial giants in financial trouble, bookkeepers who are dying of love and pleasure, stenographers who are young and beautiful for money, ballet actresses who want to die in decline, and barons who have to steal to survive. The profiles of the above characters are all told through the alternate horizontal...

After reading it, I don't know how to express my inner sadness. How luxurious this hotel is, and how sad the people who are in it are. Every weak and beautiful soul will always be trampled on, but fortunately, some souls are always comforted. Every actor is so charming, and the female stars of that era are really unparalleled...

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...

This film is adapted from the novel of the same name by the Austrian writer Wijbaum. It depicts the different experiences of five different guests of the Grand Hotel in one day in an objective, realistic and humorous way. Although the theme is to reflect the depression, confusion and decadence of the German society after World War I, it unexpectedly became the beginning of MGM's domination of Hollywood, winning with a strong lineup of stars, twists and turns and bizarre plots and intricate...

Garbo: The most beautiful alone is beautiful
I saw Garbo for the first time in "The Grand Hotel." When the queen of silent films participated in a sound film for the first time, people rushed to tell-Garbo spoke. For me, this is the first time I have seen her, her lifelike character, and her deep and powerful voice. Garbo played a ballerina....

Real real.
Such "real" movies are rare.
The center of the film is in the words that the Baron said to the typist who sells hue for life, this is life.
He was taught to ride a horse since he was a child, and he wanted to be a gentleman. He lied while praying at school. He had gone through wars and killed and...

Dr. Otternschlag: And what do you do in the Grand Hotel? Eat. Sleep. Loaf around. Flirt a little, dance a little. A hundred doors leading to one hall. No one knows anything about the person next to them. And when you leave, someone occupies your room, lies in your bed... that's the end.

[first lines]
Senf: [talking on the phone in a phonebooth at the Grand Hotel after a brief scene of operators at the switchboard] Hello? Hello? Hello, is that the clinic? Uh this is Senf; the head porter, Grand Hotel. How's my wife? Is she in pain? Isn't the child coming soon?... Patience? Would you have patience?
Otto Kringelein: [in the next phonebooth] Uh this is Otto Kringelein. I-i-is that you Heinrich? Oh Heinrich listen, I've got to talk very quickly - with every minute costs two Marks ninety. Y-ya know that will I made before I had my operation? Well I want you to tear it up... Huh? W-e-I came to Berlin to see a great specialist about that old trouble of mine; y-you know Heinrich, i-it's pretty bad. Uh he says I haven't long to live... I say he says I won't live much longer!... No, it isn't nice to be told things like that. You plague and bother and save and all of the sudden you're dead. I want to get something out of life! Listen Heinrich, I'm *never* going back to Frieveshof, *never*. I-I'm staying here at the Grand Hotel; it's the most expensive hotel in Berlin. Y-eh all the best people stay here, even our big boss Preysing is staying here. I'm going to tell him someday just exactly what I think of him.
Preysing: [in the next phonebooth] Hello? Hello, miss? This is General Director Preysing. I want my home in Frieveshof, please. Hurry, yeah... Hello! Hello. Is that you mama? How are da children? What news have you found at da factory dear?... Ya. Is your papa there?... Good. Hello papa, is that you?... Ya. The conference with the Saxonia company's set for tomorrow morning papa... Ya, ya. If the merger does not go through, ve are in very bad shape papa... Ya, ya. Everything depends upon news from Manchester! If the deal with the Manchester Cotton Company does not go through, we are facing a very bad situation papa.
Suzette: [in the next phonebooth] I'm Suzette - Suzette: Madam Grusinskaya's maid. Madam will not dance today. No she will not go to the rehearsal; she did not sleep all night. There is something preying on her mind... No, I give her a tablet of degranol. She is sleeping now.
Baron Felix von Geigern: [in the next phonebooth] This is Baron von Geigern. Look here, I need money or I can't stay at this hotel much longer. Well I've layed the groundwork, know the exact position of her room, and I've made friends with her ballet master Pimenov.
Otto Kringelein: [back in his phonebooth, sincerely] Listen Heinrich, I've taken all my savings - everything; and I'm going to enjoy spending it, *all* of it. I-it's terribly expensive here Heinrich, oooohh but it's wonderful!
Senf: [back in his phonebooth, nervously] I can't, I'll lose my job! It's like being in jail.
Preysing: [back in his phonebooth, adamantly] Rely on me papa. I will make this merger go through, I never fail.
Suzette: [back in her phonebooth, frantically] Oh poor Madam, her mind is tortured. I'm afraid she will...
Baron Felix von Geigern: [back in his phonebooth, slyly] I don't need advice, thanks very much; I need money.
Otto Kringelein: [back in his phonebooth, excitedly] ... music all the time - oh it's wonderful.
Dr. Otternschlag: [sitting in a chair in the lobby smoking a cigar] Grand Hotel: people coming, going... nothing ever happens.
[the scene fades out]
