      The fallen flower tree is still in the hotel

      Joan Crawford's acting is really good. With her appearance, I think the best thing about this movie is her. Neither the honest Gran nor the gentleman's baron, nor the cunning Pushinkin could compare to her. for moneny, why not anyone, she can promise Pushinkin's private secretary, can promise Grande a trip to Paris, all for her own consideration. Under the bright exterior, there are thousands of styles, and people's intrigues are all revealed. The black-and-white movie style far surpasses the...

      Mysterious Woman

      Today I watched Grand Hotel, it is a timeless classic and has won the fifth Oscar Best Film. To be exact, I watched it intermittently while eating and on the road, except that Garbo is the highlight, the story is not too attractive. In 1932, China was in the midst of continuous war, and this white upper-middle-class melodrama had a sense of moaning. Maybe I should watch some third world movies that would resonate more.

      Compared to this film, I like Garbo's performance in Camille more....

      People coming. People going. Nothing ever happened.

      The Grand Hotel, the film of the 5th Academy Awards, staged a tragedy in the world, and the ending was quite light.
      There are many things that left a deep impression on me in this film:
      1. At 35 minutes and 58 seconds, as Jay Chou's fan girl, it just hit my little heart, and Jay Chou's "Qin Wound" appeared, only after checking the information Found out that it is Tchaikovsky's June Barcarole Op.37 No.6, which is also a popular knowledge.

      2. Mrs. Greshinskaya, played by...

      each has his own life

      The male protagonist is a slick old mouse face, and he is a very kind old mouse. In order to save the old female ballet dancer who wanted to commit suicide, the old mouse deceived and said that he fell in love with her, and deceived and deceived that he even believed it, and then a sincere love happened. What a shame for the audience! Love is really the best panacea for a woman. When a woman believes in love, her face is radiant from that moment. She even wants to jump when she walks, and she...

      Everyone has their own story, and a life is being staged here. There are ballet dancers who are not loved by the audience and have no love, there are clerks who decide to spend all their thrifty money and change their way of life because of their illness, and there are ruthless, selfish and lustful phoenixes. A speculative man, a kind-hearted but greedy little typist, and a baron who has a noble aura above his head, but is actually penniless and makes a living by gambling and stealing. The role...

      In the first few phone calls, the lives of several people began to intertwine in a day at the "Grand Hotel". The real lady Garbo and the real gentleman and poor baron have a love that ignites and flees. The little secretary goes around as a lover and a partner and entrusts himself to him. It is a perfect match for a clerk who is terminally ill and has fun but finds meaning in life. The foreman's wife, who had been having a difficult time, finally gave birth, "Blue Danube" finally sounded, and...

    Evaluation action

    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...

    Movie quotes

    • Dr. Otternschlag: When a man's collar is an inch too big for him I know he's ill.

    • Otto Kringelein: Mr. Preysing, I am not taking orders from you here.

      Preysing: What is this insolence? Please go away.

      Otto Kringelein: You think you have free license to be insulting? Believe me, you have not. You think you're superior, but you're quite an ordinary man. Even if you did marry money, and people like me have got to slave for you for 320 marks a month!

      Preysing: Will you go away, please! You are annoying!

      Flaemmchen: Mr. Preysing, please!

      Otto Kringelein: You don't like to see me enjoying myself. When a man's working himself to death, that's what he's paid for. You don't care if a man can live on his wages or not.

      Preysing: You have a very regular scale of wages, and there's the sick fund for you.

      Otto Kringelein: [sarcastically] Oh, what a scale, and what a fund. When I was sick for four weeks, you wrote me a letter, telling me I'd be discharged if I was sick any longer. Did you write me that letter, or did you not?

      Preysing: I have no idea of the letters that I write, Mr. Kringelein. I know that you're here in the Grand Hotel, living like a lord. You are probably an embezzler.

      Otto Kringelein: [shocked] An embezzler?

      Preysing: Yes, an embezzler!

      Otto Kringelein: You will take that back, right here in the presence of this young lady! Who do you think you're talking to? You think I'm dirt? Well, if I'm dirt, you're a lot dirtier, Mr. Industrial Magnate Preysing!

      Preysing: You're discharged! Get out!

      Flaemmchen: You can't do that to him...

      Preysing: Oh, I don't know the man. I don't know what he wants. I never saw him before.

      Otto Kringelein: I know you! I've kept your books for you and I know all about you! If one of your employees was half as stupid in a small way as you are in a big way...

      Preysing: [lunges for Kringelein] What do you mean

      [tries to strangle him. When several people try to break them up, he finally lets go]

      Preysing: You're discharged! You're discharged, you hear?

      Otto Kringelein: Wait! You can't discharge me. I am my own master for the first time in my life. You can't discharge me. I'm sick. I'm going to die, you understand? I'm going to die, and nobady can do anything to me anymore. Nothing can happen to me anymore. Before I can be discharged, I'll be dead!

      [laughs proudly]

    • Baron Felix von Geigern: [looking down from the sixth-floor balcony over the front desk] You know, I've often wondered what'd happen to that old porter if somebody jumped on him from here.

      Flaemmchen: I'm sure I don't know. Why don't you try it and find out?
