The Grand Budapest Hotel

The Grand Budapest Hotel

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.

The Grand Budapest Hotel short comments

    What moved me the most was the prison guard splitting sausage, cheese, and bread, but faced with Mendel's exquisite desserts, they couldn't bear to start. Reminds me of Viennese's obsession with coffee and desserts. The love of the people in the ancient land for beautiful things is really moving.

    The four-fold narrative space, layer by layer, is like a Russian doll. Uncover them one by one, and draw out a kaleidoscope of yesterday's world: a single-line storyline strung together many characters with different personalities. The scene switching is like a dream relay. Reality and illusion are intertwined, seriousness and absurdity coexist, sweetness and bitterness coexist. The overall look and feel is quite interesting and very substantial. Finally, I must rant, the full-screen acting emperor is so sweet that everyone is indignant!

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.
