Everything we can imagine or expect to see about ancient Europe can be seen in this film. Resolute Deutsche Bahn employees, classic suitcases lined up for fire fighting.

People who don't like Anderson will find his works full of affectionate affection or too hippie-like or even disgusting. But there is no doubt that his film style is unique and full of imagination.

Noton called him "the most original and distinctive director of our generation." He was nominated for three academy awards, two of which were for best screenplay.

The Budapest Grand Hotel can be said to be the most representative work in his life. Many of his works, the time and place of the incident are always beyond reality, and this film is no exception. It did not happen in Budapest, but in the brilliant era of Europe in the 1830s.

The background color of the film is a colorful bubble-like dream, and the plot is also fantastic and jumping. From stealing paintings, to escape, to escape, and nostalgic old trains, all are full of thrills.

This film can also be said to be a work that incorporates the director's personal character and preferences. Through the reappearance of the splendid European culture of the past, he reshaped Budapest and brought his favorite civilization, movies, and music back to that point in time.

Many things have changed too quickly, but we have the best things that remain in the past. He missed and admired the beauty of the past, not only because of the fashionable and gorgeous hotel at the time, but also worried about the destruction of excessive praise. "Brand new does not mean complete destruction and disappearance." Berlin, rebuilt after the war, still has artistic manifestations, surprising modernist works and emerging architectural concepts. "But I feel that the balance is quietly deviating."

Behind the film is more about Zi, an Australian Jewish writer who chose to commit suicide after escaping from the cruel detention of the Nazi Party and ended his brilliant life. The text left by Zi is also out of print in the United States today.

If you have seen Hollywood movies in Europe in the 1930s.

The difference between the film and reality did not make Anderson forget to express, Nazism, Communism, war, humanity, he used the lens to speak his own words. This is not a comedy show. "I cannot say that I have a new analysis of totalitarianism, nor do I want to be stubborn or avoid something. I just want to tell the story itself, what we know, the meaning of politics, or other things. There."

He knows which angle is the best way to shoot. He is not afraid of the audience to analyze his work.
His works are not like equations, one plus one equals two. In fact, he can always grab individuality from characters and create creations based on facts.

"Other than that, I didn't see anything else." So it's no surprise that the herringbone mud coat I wore in the cold winter.
