05 Grand Hotel
Grand Hotel The entire scene story of this movie takes place in a large hotel, and several protagonists have their own different joys and sorrows. The tone of the whole movie is sad and sentimental, even if people come and go in the hotel, it can't hide the core of its sadness. Just like the veteran doctor said, people come and go, and each has a different life. After you leave, you will Someone is in your room, the hotel is still running, it doesn't change because of anyone.
When I watch a movie, my heart is full of coldness. In fact, the Grand Hotel is the epitome of a small society. No one can shake the wheel of history. Every day is a new day. People will eventually forget you. Forget everything, nothing is unforgettable.
I don't know what the director's intention was in filming this movie, but I just felt that human beings were weak and good luck made people. Maybe the director wanted to convey the human feelings that reflected the capitalist society during the Great Recession.
To sort out the plot, there are five protagonists in this film, followed by some supporting roles that play an important supporting role.
The first is the baron. He is addicted to gambling. Although he has the title of baron, he has lost all his property and made a living by stealing. He is also a soul character throughout the play, and the other four protagonists have varying degrees of connection with him. I would like to focus on the baron. When talking about the baron, I have to mention the aspect of human nature. This is the fifth Oscar-winning movie. The movies selected by the Oscars are getting deeper and deeper. Changes year by year, the United States or the times are developing little by little. People no longer focus on satisfying the basic needs of the body, and start thinking about life and pursuing the spirit. This kind of change makes people feel gratified, but the quality of the film varies. Qi is also a fact. (But it is a fact that movies are getting more and more difficult to understand, and it is also true that although some movies are very exciting, it is very tiring to watch, especially the more you think, the more tired you are, and the mental burden is heavy, but the baby still wants to persevere, and the complaints are over. .)
Now I'm going to start talking about the baron. Since the baron is the center of the play, he has a lot of scenes, and the character image is quite successful, but maybe it's too hard, this character is a bit too idealistic, not real enough, and there is no war with the Western Front. Like Yang Xi in the movie, the characters are too well-made but not real enough. He came from an aristocratic family, lost all his money in gambling, made a living by stealing and owed a lot of gambling debts. At first, I didn't like this character at all. After all, I don't like gamblers who can't control their actions, but as the plot develops, I actually find that this man helps the weak, his heart is full of justice and kindness, and he actually meets himself on the way of stealing true love? ? ? In the end, he was beaten to death for stealing money for an upright elopement with his true love? ? This character has a strong sense of disobedience. When I watched the movie, my heart was full of doubts, because his various behaviors did not match his gambler setting. Maybe it was related to his upbringing. He was born in a noble family. So kind? So affectionate? I don't understand the screenwriter's intention. I think this character's creation is inconsistent, and I don't want to praise him for the good things he has done. . First flirting with a pretty stenographer and then people fall in love with him He tells people that he's found true love, then helps poor sick dying workers and then encourages people to gamble? The worker was drunk and wanted to use up the remaining 6,800 marks to gamble (it seems to be marks), but he didn't stop them, and then the worker wanted to steal all the money after winning? In the end, because the worker was too pitiful, he returned the money, and then he was beaten to death for stealing the factory owner's money. . . I just can't describe how I feel
after combing through the Baron .
There are too many bugs in this movie. Let’s not talk about the image of such a strange baron. Does the screenwriter want to rely on these actors’ changing and changing plots that do not match the set background, to try to express to us the change of human nature? To express the ugliness of capitalist society? I've tried my best to speak for the screenwriter. .
Sure enough, writing a movie review can clarify my thoughts. Now I can think of more and more unreasonable places. There is a big problem with the characterization of this movie. Maybe I want to express the indifference of human feelings, but it makes me feel the paleness and falsehood of the movie. Not really flesh and blood shaping.
I will focus on a few key violations. The seriously ill worker is full of gratitude to the baron. Why can't the baron take care of the baron's funeral after his death? Then turn around and take the female stenographer to Paris waves? ;The female stenographer still had no regrets for the baron one second ago. I even thought that he was willing to be with the factory owner because he wanted to get some money for the baron, and then the next second she encouraged the seriously ill workers to go to Paris to play? Just because he won three or four thousand dollars? Her early sympathy is tender? Conscience eaten by dogs? ;The factory owner movie starts by saying that he has always been honest in doing business and loyal to his wife, and then when he sees the beautiful stenographer, he is crooked. In order to succeed in the merger and not go bankrupt, he lied? Is this in line with the overbearing president's setting? I'm just indifferent the whole time! After successfully deceiving people, I have to make an appointment with others and take them to Paris, how can I suddenly become a wretched man? In the end, he faked the murder scene. Did you slap you in the face with what you said at the beginning? Ballet dancer, you say that you are a woman who has been killed by thousands of troops across a single-plank bridge. With such a powerful setting, would you be innocent and believe in love? Like a little girl immersed in a dreamy love, you are no longer young and about to be out of breath, my sister, you are still willing to share your property with a baron who has only spoken to you a few words and rhetoric? You are a screenwriter, you are great, love is like a tornado. . Actors with good acting skills, but the plot setting is weird. I can't blame the actors. There are still many points to complain about, but I'm too tired to talk about it.
The characters' dialogues and their behaviors may be conveying hypocrisy to us. Maybe this is the theme of the movie. It's too brain-burning. I only give this movie 4 points. It may be a successful model. It's a movie, but it has too many bugs that I can't bear. I try to understand the brain hole of the screenwriter and director time and time again, and I fail. . Amen. . This movie disappointed me a lot. .
