This film is a very innovative movie, not only in that era, but also in today's view. With the help of a small platform, it tells a big theme. By showing the lives of all kinds of people living in the big hotel for one or two days, it reveals the spiritual outlook and life experience of people in that era, maybe not only that era, because human psychology and experience have a cross-age heritage and cross-regional heritage. Consistency. Through those characters with different identities and different experiences, we have seen the ups and downs of life, the ups and downs of life. Life is full of accidents, and accidents may be good or bad, maybe it's the result of another village.
Baron Van Gegen is a poor middle-aged man. He had to steal in a big hotel in order to pay off his gambling debts, but he was friendly, full of justice and compassion. So he helped the poor employee Mr. Clin and fell in love with the ballerina Grace. Although he is a thief, he is definitely more kind than the so-called superior people. It's a pity that in the end, he was beaten to death by the businessman Plessy, which is really sighing.
And the ballet dancer Grosse is played by the beautiful Garbo. She is indeed not the most dramatic in the film, but her light cannot be concealed. She is the queen of the film. Grace is an extremely emotional and naive actress. She cried because of the lack of attendance at the theater. She refused to be on stage again. She was ecstatic and couldn't sleep because she fell in love with the Baron. Perhaps what the actor needs is this. Kind of extreme character. It's a pity that her lover died unexpectedly. She got in the car and left alone amidst the white lie of everyone. How sad after learning the news, but maybe she will get better soon and fall in love with another person. People are always forgetful.
The film also depicts Klin, an old employee who is terminally ill, Plessy, a businessman who is at a juncture of business change, and Frans, a poor and beautiful female secretary. These three people with different personalities and destinies are cleverly woven together. In the end, the businessman gets a bad return, but at the end of his life, Klin gets the opportunity to visit the romantic capital of Paris with the beauty at the end of his life. Although the fate is unpredictable, it seems that there is a will in the sky, and there will always be good and evil. And Frans is actually a very representative character, young and beautiful but without money. Either she was lucky enough to catch a beetle-in-law, or she had to sell her youth and beauty for money. What else could change her? What about a life that can only eat one meal a day? But in the end, she was able to travel with Klin in Paris, and she might even get a small bequest from Klin, which is considered to be a small favor for her by fate. Kling was frugal all his life. At the end of his life, he asked to stay in a luxurious hotel anyway. It really made people feel a kind of sorrow. He bumped into the boss who obeyed his orders in the bar, and finally exposed the boss's murderous deeds. Revenge.
Destiny, destiny, how should you treat you? How should you treat you, a master of pranks?
In the end, these five people all left the hotel, albeit in different directions. Only a doctor who has always been aloof is sighing: The big hotel, where people come and go, will never change. In fact, is it not like this in life?
Every actor in the film can be said to be leading the way. Everyone expresses the completely different characters of the characters vividly, vividly, and even has a sense of comedy, but this comedy is performed on the big stage of destiny. So we viewers will inevitably laugh with tears when watching.
