[I was deeply moved by seeing Wes Anderson's work for the first time]

First of all, Wes Anderson's style is very suitable for making animations, abnormal installations, and out of logic shots. The preference for symmetrical composition and bright color elements are added to the entire movie to form a (no exaggeration) masterpiece. The special lens language not only does not make people act out, but adds a touch of fairy tale (fictional) beauty to the narrative of the movie.

The director did not abandon the narrative under his strong personal style. After several changes in the main body of the narrative, he told a beautiful and sad story, while the main characters spent a lot of time to shape it. The final result is a multi-faceted and complex Gustavo full of charisma; a relatively shallow but charming Mustafa; and a large number of facial characters (this is also where points are reduced).

After being permeated with retro style and romantic comedy atmosphere, the whole movie has a trace of sadness. How wonderful a person's life is. In the end, it still cannot withstand the passing and weathering of time, and the director (intangible or intentional) told him his choice: tell , Inheritance, memory.

Even after watching the Budapest Grand Hotel, I feel sad, I still like to list it as the most heartwarming movie this winter, but it is a pity not to see it on the big screen.

Personal rating【9.1】★★★

    It's still Wes Anderson's iconic retro tone, sweet soundtrack, and neurotic cold humor. Unlike its predecessors, it is not so casual and loose, "The Grand Hotel" has a compact story, layered layers of cocoons, and a bit of a "heavy taste". Perhaps only Wes Anderson can make a story of mixed murder, prison escape, and weapon fighting so happy.

    Replay. 1) The girl is reading a novel. A novel is a story heard by a writer. The story is the personal experience told by the doorman. 2) There are paintings hidden in the safe. The painting is enveloped. The real will is hidden behind. 3) Delicious cake box. There are jailbreak tools hidden in the cake. Escape through the doorways. Therefore, whether it is narrative techniques, plot design, screen composition, the film is a layered nested structure...

The Grand Budapest Hotel quotes

  • M. Gustave: How does one come by front row aisle seats for a first night at the Opera Toscana with one day's notice? How does one arrange a private viewing of the tapestry collection at the Royal Saxon Gallery? How does one secure a corner table at Chez Dominique on a Thursday?

    [to Ivan, on the telephone]

    M. Gustave: Ivan, darling, it's Gustave, hello!... Well, I was until about five minutes ago. We've taken it upon ourselves to clear out in a hurry, if you see what I mean... Well, through a sewer, as it happens... Exactly! Listen, Ivan, I'm sorry to cut you off, but we're in a bit of a bind. This is an official request. I'm formally calling on the special services of...

    [Title card: THE SOCIETY OF THE CROSSED KEYS]

  • M. Gustave: I'm not angry with Serge; you can't blame someone for their basic lack of moral fiber. He's a frightened little yellow-bellied coward. It's not his fault, is it?

    Zero: I don't know, it depends.

    M. Gustave: Well, you can say that about most anything, "it depends". Of course it depends.

    Zero: Of course it depends, of course it depends.

    M. Gustave: Yes, I suppose you're right; of course it depends. However, that doesn't mean I'm not going to throttle the little swamp rat.
