Generally speaking, the opening 5 minutes of the setting presents the worldview of the movie. There are three periods in the beginning of the film: present to 1985, 1960s, 1930s. The whole story line is interspersed with "The Grand Budapest Hotel" , A book-the author of the book-the memory of the author-the story of the memory. The screen shows realistic, vintage and fantasy.
Here is the question why is it necessary to introduce The Grand Budapest Hotel in such a complicated way? It can be done directly Start with Zero’s reminiscence tone, even if you want to join the narrator, it’s enough to cut it from 1985. What is the meaning of the line that the little girl opens the book?
"Why a story within a story within a story within a story?"
What inheritance I won’t talk about spiritual transmission of ideas. To be honest, foreigners don’t think so deeply, especially Yankees (cough cough). The more reliable way to say is that people’s memories tend to beautify the facts, and the novel is one more layer. Add color, and finally show this fantastic hotel legend through the reader’s imagination of the text. This explanation also corresponds to the changes in the performance of the picture. It
can be seen how terrible the late stage of obsessive-compulsive disorder.....The
next thing is to happen in that fiction. In the Eastern European countries, there are strange stories about this beautiful surreal hotel and the people related to it. In order to enhance the authenticity, the official website also supports a history of this fictional "Buffalo Grass Republic" Tutorial (laughs). In addition to the beautiful retro design, I also wrote a lot of materials to help everyone understand the history. It can be described as a good intention.
It can be seen how terrible the late stage of obsessive-compulsive disorder...
There are so many details in the scene, and Wes has always controlled the details without explaining it. Various props from the shape, color, material to the various small logos, typo, graphics... all can see Adam and the entire Art Dept heart Bleeding... (Silence) GFX is excellent! Annie Atkins, who is in charge of graphics, has contributed a lot! In the interview, she said how abnormal Wes is, including the news in the newspaper that only appeared for one second. It’s all made up by Wes himself.....After the DVD comes out, press the pause and read it all! Don’t waste his painstaking effort! It
can be seen how terrifying the late OCD is...
Of course, many people think that the scenes It’s too rich, and it’s a bit overwhelming. To be honest, although I am a diehard Wes, I have always felt that his work is based on Character rather than Narrative. This time, although the background of the rise and fall of Europe has been laid out, Stefan Zweig seems to have a deeper link. The meaning of, but his ability to tell stories is not strong after all... Is this a loss for the Americans? (cough cough) But this kind of very "flat" expression ("ping" picture, "flat" photography, "Ping" story) is also a feature of him.
From the setting point of view, personal is also stronger than the world. Personal belongings, costumes, backgrounds, colors, almost every character has its own set of fixed collocations, so as to portray Characteristic features. On the other hand, some empty scenes lacking characters, such as hotel exteriors, snow mountains, small towns, are slightly inferior. (Especially the street scenes of small towns have a kind of embarrassing sense of violation)
Anyway, I can portray the characters so persistently. Work hard, it can be seen how terrible the late stage of obsessive-compulsive disorder...
Let’s take a look at the so-called symbols, metaphors, symbols, um, I believe there are. For example, the inverted black eagle logo is easily associated with the coat of arms of the Austro-Hungarian Empire; Caspar David Friedrich-style landscape paintings; accompanied by The rise and fall of the hotel, the decor styles range from the bright and bright Jugendstil (derived from the German new craft movement, it feels like Art Nouveau... "ZZ" banner;.... Of course, the original setting is based on the background of the Eastern European era. It is not surprising that various historical elements are in it. It is not surprising that the director of OCD secretly buried various metaphors. One even has a screen ratio. A director who needs to be consistent with the story of the time, can see how terrible the late OCD is...
As for the decline of the entire hotel, whether it symbolizes the decline of the peak of European culture, or associates it with the exploration of war and even human nature, different people have different opinions. Looking at this splendid hotel, it is not only the memory of those sacred empires, prominent families, powerful dynasties and the glorious era that accompanied them. This may also be just an American European dream.
A longing for an American since childhood European Americans finally got their wish and made a European film. It can be seen how terrible the late OCD is...
PS The key is a key in the movie. The girl who walked into the park at the beginning hung the key on the statue of the author, the hotel’s The logo is two crossed keys. The last few alliance hotels appear with their keys. The name of this alliance is also called "The Society of the Crossed Keys", and wes also published a book of the same name to include Stefan Zweig Works. I don’t know what this key means.
And when the girl walked into the park at the beginning, there were three men in black sitting at the door, and I don’t know what it means...
