Vibrant social and humanities textbooks

A comedy without a long story and a little witty, using literary and old-fashioned narrative techniques like old movies, it talks about some heavy topics in a leisurely manner. Among them, there is no lack of irony about war, morbid but shining life, battles within famous families, and collisions between human natures.
Although these topics can be boring to talk about individually, the film expresses them vividly, making people laugh at the same time, but also deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.


Crude and elegant, inherently contradictory, the coexistence of these two qualities in a person makes him respectable and dead ordinary, but also memorable.

It has been a long time since I saw a narrative film that is full of contradictions and has no fascinating storyline, which can give me such a deep feeling. Realizing that sentence, it is impossible to go far without tranquility. It seems superficial and the ending is bland, but there are many memorable places.

    There is a movie called sweet to sad.

    Wes Anderson’s signature island creation, though changing the frame to present a “moll”-like time structure, is still self-enclosed in nature. Everything originated in the Budapest Grand Hotel, and everything is gathered here. The whole story runs in Weiss’s unique worldview track. I often stare at the red fire hydrant on the side of the road and think: It's too much like Weiss's movie.
