Even if you don't know what the director means, just appreciating the art is enough

First of all, I have to admit that I really have no impression of the director at all, but I deeply admire it. One is that the director's art aesthetic is really first-class, no matter the angle of shooting, the central symmetry is everywhere, and there are gorgeous everywhere. The shot of using a circle to put the protagonist in the center is really like an illustration, which is fascinating. Therefore, the collision of watercolors, the fusion and mixing of colors, gives people an Eastern European style, which is very valuable. So, even if I don't know the director, I have to praise him. [Speaking of the scene, I remembered the scene where Gustav walked around and shuttled back and forth in her huge house after hearing the news of the lady's death. It was really great. The front and sides cover almost everything, so the director is also very good in lens processing. ]
It is the progression of the plot. At first I thought it was a completely funny and humorous comedy, but later I found out that it was not the case. According to the Internet, there are four stages in the plot. The girl holding the author's last works, and the "Zweig" who remembered the story at the Grand Budapest Hotel and wrote the book, and the Zweig who listened to the old zero's story, and finally the story of Gustav and zero . Although I personally don't think it's necessary, just talk about Zweig and listen to zero's storytelling. I don't know why the latter paragraph is added. In the end, everyone said that this is the author's metaphor. I didn't expect you to read such a metaphor. I was really powerless. Although I vaguely saw the background of the story of Nazi-fascist Jews, I am not European after all. Man, I just feel great, I just feel emotional. As for how many stories are behind, I really have no way of knowing, but this also reflects the director's talent from the side. [Suddenly remembered, writing that writer. . . It seems that it is entirely out of
the director's admiration for Zweig. At least I remember it.] Admiration for the director, just from the point of view of art, is really worthy of my giving four stars. For such a rare treasure as a movie, I think the director has used the various aesthetics of art to leave audiences who want to pay attention to it, which is already very impressive. Although the story you want to tell is not the same as the intuitive story we have seen, it is the director's job to be able to tell a story well. Without the support of the plot, everything is nothing.
The plot is very common (I don’t know if it’s my illusion), and such a legendary life (I’m talking about Gustav) even has all kinds of Zweig scenes to confuse the plot and it’s unlikely that it will be deleted. How. . . . . . However, some places are really amazing, such as the same place, the same on the train, in two shots, once telling us the existence of human nature, and once, but skillfully killing humanity in seconds. This really caused me to think deeply. Gustav's phantom and gorgeous life still did not break through the setting of "Ah, this is a dream" at the end, so we can say that this is a dream that can cause A character that everyone resonates and reflects on and who is very successful.
Also, the phrase "don't flirt with her" that zero has been emphasizing is actually a great point of laughter, at least in the overall exciting and cheerful atmosphere, this sentence can play a role in a certain moment. The role of the finishing touch sublimation effect.
At least, this movie still made me spend a more pleasant afternoon, and more importantly, beauty is in it, everywhere.

    This is not just a movie, it is a game, a fairy tale, or a work of art, which perfectly integrates the author's aesthetic style, sense of form and nostalgic theme! Regardless of the story, drama, theme, and aesthetics, its recognition belongs to itself. For Wes Anderson fans, this is a masterpiece!

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.
