From the beginning of watching the movie, the whole film is told in the tone of the author of a book B tells A about C. This method is very similar to the way we usually read some novels. I thought it would be a lengthy memoir, but A few minutes describe the scene of the Budapest Hotel's door to the present day, and the movie is like a musical, with the music unfolding gorgeously.
The hotel built on the top of the mountain has endless scenery, pink exterior walls, rigorous waiters, and aristocratic wealthy people who are constantly coming and going, reflecting the sunset before the old aristocratic society before World War II was about to fall apart. Sometimes brisk, sometimes rushed music is a big highlight of this film. In recent years, I have rarely seen such an excellent soundtrack in a movie. It gives people the feeling that it is not the plot of the movie that promotes the development, but the whole story. Melodious old-time music is pulling the main line.
There are many interesting plots in the movie. The male protagonist Gustave brings joy to the noble guests through his gentlemanly service, and the refugee immigrant concierge seems to be the same person in different eras, and changing all this is a matter of Because of the war, Gustav was actually an immigrant himself, and then he started to work as a doorman and then went to the top manager of the hotel, so when he scolded the doorman Zero, he thought that this child was himself back then, which also meant that a class of people were Jews. Excellent spiritual civilization brings happiness to others. In the movie, the old aristocratic woman will gift famous paintings and inheritances, which makes people jealous. The war made them flee, and at the same time changed the original pattern of life, which can be shown from the encounters on the two trains before and after, and an important "Apple Boy" in the movie seems to represent the Jewish people, a nation favored by God. labor return (Apple has the meaning of labor return in Europe). Director Wes Anderson satirized Hitler in the greatest sense, such as the famous lace painting, "ZZ" army badge, occupied hotel. The help of the Hotel Practitioners Union also justifies the mutual support among Jewish people today.
The plot of the movie is like a suspenseful detective novel. In a way of tribute, the escape and counterattack are told scene by scene with the unique curtain method of black and white old movies. The scheduling of shots and scenes in this film is very amazing, and I can't even find a single redundant shot. The hotel shootout in the film is amazing. has a high metaphorical meaning.
At the same time, the cast of actors is indeed unprecedentedly strong. Compared with a certain domestic running account "Jianguo DA Industry", which has a face-to-face lunch box, it is simply a few streets behind. The villain male protagonist created by Adrien Brody in the film is simply eye-catching, which is a huge contrast to the inherent image of "The Pianist". Broken nose Owen came out with only a few shots, but it was not bad.
Finally, the camera returns to the writer's sculpture and ends the film with a book, as if this is not a movie watching but reading a book. Today, fast food consumption is prevalent, the plot is thin, and special effects are used to end a movie. Remember a few shots, this film tells the story like a gentleman while paying tribute to the older generation, which is commendable.
