    Most of the scenes are indoors, the scene scheduling is excellent, the mirror movement is elegant, the shots are generally long, the language of the shots is very mature, and the big stars are combined. Stories that take place in one day also show the influence of classic drama. The first few minutes of phone calls are a luxury. The joys and sorrows of different characters, they were brought together by fate and then separated, leaving no trace, as if nothing happened. A penny beats a hero. sad...

    -9 What about the pit father? ! An unconcealed artistic student pretends to be a fan. I can't learn anything or enjoy watching this film, sorry I'm not a fan of Garbo. It's better to read a playbook than to read it. What three lines are intertwined, it is clearly nonsense, and the film is better than it is written, and so many famous songs are changed into this. This level is almost the same as "Deep Mother and Daughter Love", and it is worthy of the title of a bad...

    MGM's luxurious all-star game of the year. . The story is innovative and first of its kind. . The actor's performance is impressive. . Garbo & Joan Crawford are the queen of silent films but don't seem to fit in with talkies. Maybe the aesthetics have changed now but it's definitely a classic....

    All living beings are chaotic and neurotic, and people are so boring living----I don't want to watch this kind of film...

    In the comparison of Joan Crawford, Garbo is really exaggerated and embarrassing, but she is too good-looking, and it is still a bit cute when she is contrived and crazy. But this big hotel looks bad inside and...

    The unrealistic filming of the films of that era made people feel moved: if you turn around, you don't know what will change~Grand hotel... People come and go, but they are actually just...

    The double eye-catching on the screen and the plot. I thought it was an ordinary "love comedy star drama", but I didn't expect that each character has a distinct personality and unique setting, and the multi-line combination in the end is quite pre-code [Grand Hotel... always the same. People come, people go. Nothing ever...

    The film begins with the busy wiring, the baggage room foreman anxiously inquires about the wife who is expecting to give birth, and at the end, the foreman received good news, and within a short waiting time, the grand hotel staged the interlaced lives of the five protagonists, and the baron connected the rest. He evokes the fervent love of frustrated dancers, revives lost patients, reaps love, and puts a failed bad boss in...

    In the early years, Hollywood movies were very experimental and not too excessive, and they were handled properly. Garbo is still beautiful! Except for the sad ending. . The shadow of the Great Depression had a great impact on the creation of the...

    "The Grand Hotel": The first masterpiece of the "All-Star Movie"

    In the famous "Grand Hotel", the hysterical ballerina played by Greta Garbo said: I want to be alone. So this sentence became the symbol of Greta Garbo. Everyone knows that the mysterious, glamorous, mature, fragile, sexy and neurotic woman needs to be alone at all times. "The Grand Hotel", which...

    Money is the bastard

    Although there are many characters on the stage, there are still down-and-out nobles and actresses as the main line to connect the whole story. And the whole story is not about what life is like, in my opinion, it is just talking about how bad money is. Because of the money, the little staff had...

Grand Hotel quotes

  • 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.

    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?

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.

    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!

    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.
