If there is one word to describe the feeling after watching, it is loneliness

When watching this movie, one word always comes to mind. At first I couldn't tell what it was, it was shrouded in fog.
I don't know why, but from beginning to end, The Great Gatsby always comes to my mind. It is also a layer of fog, covering the villa on the other side across the sea from a distance, there is a green light, which is distinct and ambiguous in the fog.

Then he asked me, what do you think of this film?
I said I like it very much, I like the pictures, I like the narrative... I have said a lot of likes, but I don't think I can get to the point. What is it, exactly?
What impressed me most, he said, was its tone and hilarious tone.
I was stunned all of a sudden, as if a nerve had been pricked: Joy? ? ?
Where is this film so special and joyful? The kind of thing I feel, even if I can't say it, is clearly the opposite of joy.
He continued, "It's very easy... It's
easy to be a ghost, obviously very lonely!"
--Lonely! Omg I finally found the word.

Some of my friends also commented that this film was very enjoyable. I started to think, why? Why does it give people a sense of ease and joy? And how did I (and others) perceive the loneliness behind this ease?
The ease is probably because of the distant time. The perspective of memory and the tone of other people's narration all dispel the sadness and heaviness of the past.
However, I insist that the tone of the film is loneliness. This kind of loneliness is something that belongs to the essence of human beings. No matter how thrilling and delicate or ups and downs the life process is, all the mentors and lovers will only accompany them through the road for a while, and finally return to loneliness.
This sense of loneliness permeates the entire film, where it begins and ends.
Back home, there is no wind or rain.

    #SIFF2014#The first hall of the movie city is ecstatic, the oriental giant screen is more bright and colorful, the square composition is comfortable and ironed, and the audience laughs cold and humorously; Anderson is ingenious, grasps the details, and pays tribute to the old movies. The obvious "Yesterday's World" and "The Country of Brazil" condensed the melancholy and disillusionment of Zweig's departure from the country. "I love this rundown" can be said to be the finishing touch. It is painful to maintain elegance in the rundown.

    Each frame of the picture is like a colorful buttery fruit hard candy, the color is full and bright and attractive. As for what the movie says, I don’t really understand it. The escape part only attracted a little attention, and the rest was just watching the big coffee performers. Finally, I have to say that Ralph's accent is really ugly. The intentions of this film can be seen everywhere, the costume design, scene design, and art photography are all extremely elegant, showing extraordinary charm.

    M. Gustave: Well, Hello there, chaps.

    Franz: Documents, please.

    M. Gustave: With pleasure.

    [Hands the officer his papers]

    M. Gustave: It's not a very flattering portrait, I'm afraid, I was once considered a great beauty.

    [Notices the soldier's name tag, it reads: "Cpl F. Müller."]

    M. Gustave: What's the F. Stand for, Fritz? Franz?

    Franz: Franz.

    M. Gustave: [Cheerfully] I knew it!

    [Zero hands the soldier his papers]

    M. Gustave: He's making a funny face.

    M. Gustave: [to the soldier] That's a Migatory Visa with stage three worker status, Franz darling, he's with me.

    Franz: [Hesitates, looks at Zero] Come outside, please.

    M. Gustave: Now wait a minute, sit down, Zero. His papers are in order, I crossed referenced them myself with The Bureau of Labor and Servitude. You can't arrest him simply because he's a bloody immigrant, he hasn't done anything wrong!

    [a moment of disbelief, the soldier looks, then grabs Zero by the arm and rises him from his seat. A light struggle breaks out, Gustave, angered, yells at them]

    M. Gustave: Stop it! Stop, damn you!

    Zero: Never mind, Mousier Gustave! Let them proceed!

    M. Gustave: Ow, that hurts!

    M. Gustave: You filthy, godamn, pock-marked, fascist assholes! Take your hands off my lobby boy!

    [a whistle blows, and the door to the wagon opens. Everyone stops moving. Inspector A.J. Henckels walks into the room, he stands at the doorway]

    Henckels: What's the problem?

    M. Gustave: This is outrageous! The young man works for me at the Grand Budapest Hotel in Nebelsbad.

    Henckels: Mousier Gustave?

    [pauses]

    Henckels: My name is Henckels, I'm the son of Dr. and Mrs. Wolfgang Henckels Bergersdörfer. Do you remember me?

  • Agatha: [about M.Gustave and Zero] Whence came these two radiant celestial brothers, united for an instant, as they crossed the upper stratosphere of our starry window, one from the east, and one from the west.

    M. Gustave: VERY good.
