Great Way of Narrating Stories about Money

It is great. Though it was shot in 1932, and the color is black and white, it touched me very much. Actor John Gilbert was so handsome but he died at age of 39, which is really a pity. He acted well, fully depicting the Grand Hotel thief well. Actress Greta Garbo was elegant.

Theme of the film is about people's desperation about money and making a living. Life then during financial crisis (1929-1933) must be hard.

It is a sad ending with a actor dying and actress cheated to traveling to Berlin. It is a bit ironic that another two minor actor and actress heading for Grand Hotel in Paris. Do they really love each other? What would happen after that 13,000 marks spent? It is an open ending. But well said, people come, people go. Nothing seems to happen in Grand Hotel.

    Occupational disease, the whole film is most concerned about the decoration, design, furniture and equipment of the entire hotel... The content itself, probably because they are all-stars, the two heroines are so beautiful, the story itself... It tends to be second-class level, especially the play In the eyes of modern people, too many things cannot stand scrutiny and are too idealized~

    After watching a movie from 81 years ago, I suddenly have a very strange feeling that no one is alive from the creator to the backstage. At that time, Hollywood actors were really good at acting, and Garbo was really beautiful. Seeing that the waiters at the hotel so long ago were no different from now, I was a little surprised. People come, people go, nothing ever happens. Well said.
