To their grace long gone

If I had to describe the film in one word, it would be "stylized". Director Wes Anderson has always been known for his unique style. This film pushes personal style to the extreme. Whether it is the presentation of the picture, the use of colors, or the scheduling of shots and the movement of actors, they all have a sense of form and even a sense of ritual. The aspect ratio also strengthens the classical atmosphere of the film, and the whole film has the spirit of an old film.

The film uses a lot of symmetrical pictures and fresh colors, and it is pleasing enough to just look at the picture. Such a picture, as long as you look at it, you can see that it is the film, and it is the work of director Wes Anderson.

The film's unhurried rhythm, and the protagonist's delicate speech and demeanor even in times of distress, all reveal charming elegance. Even the villain's minions are as unhurried and courteous as gentlemen. The film can be said to be an elegy of European elegance. As the character Mustafa said in the film: "His world, before he entered, has disappeared. But it has to be said that he undoubtedly maintained the illusion of that world with his extraordinary elegance. 』

The film commemorates the demise of an era. Those richly dressed and well-mannered aristocrats died with their glory days, the gentleman who could fight for the fate of a door boy died with the times he struggled to maintain, and the once good world was long before Gustave. Mr. was lost while still clinging to his grace.
