A fantasy movie with a cream cake flavor

"The Grand Budapest Hotel"

"No writer has unlimited imagination and observation. When others know that you will record it in a certain way, some people and stories will take the initiative to approach you.”

The story of the Grand Budapest Hotel stems from the initiative of people and stories.

A writer was recuperating in the declining Grand Budapest Hotel. The owner of this grand hotel, Mr. Zero, told him his story.

When Mr. Zero was young, he was a doorman at the Grand Budapest Hotel. The hotel's concierge, Mr. Gustav, is a gentleman with elegant manners and extraordinary temperament. "I think his world disappeared before he stepped into it, but there is no doubt that he used his unique charm to maintain this illusion." It was Mr. Gustav who used rigorous and demanding first-class service to impress hotel guests. The door is full.

Of course, apart from his rigorous and demanding work, Mr. Gustave also likes to flirt with ladies and guests. Mrs. D, 84 years old, is one of them.

One day, Mrs. D passed away mysteriously. In her will, she stated that she would give Mr. Gustave a famous painting free of charge, but Mr. Gustave unexpectedly got involved in a family inheritance dispute.

Mrs. D, who was murdered by her son Dmitri; Dmitri, who killed innocent people for property; Mr. Gustav, who just wanted to take away the painting that belonged to him, but was driven away and killed ...With the help of a famous painting, director Mr. Wes Anderson used absurd cold humor to peel off the cocoons and reveal the cruel reality hidden behind it.

"When it comes to a huge fortune, human greed will flow in the blood like venom."

But, "Did you see it? In the barbaric slaughterhouse , there are still some glimmers of civilization.”

Mr. Gustav went into a prison cell, climbed over a snowy mountain, and almost lost his life. It was the help of the doorman Zero who asked for nothing in return but was willing to accompany him through life and death that allowed him to save his life. It was Agatha who deeply loved Zero, the house and the black people. With her calmness and wit, she provided Mr. Gustave with the tools to escape from prison and helped him prove his innocence. Yes, there must be glimmers of civilization at all times.

Mrs. D seemed to have guessed that she would be murdered. She had already drafted a second suicide note: if she was murdered, all her property would be given to Gustav. Mr. Gustav, who had experienced sensuality, witnessed the vicissitudes of life, was finally killed by Nazi soldiers for protecting Zero, who was inexperienced in the world.

In this way, Mr. Zero inherited this rich inheritance. He used the money to maintain and operate this long-declined hotel, and he always lived a simple life.

With bright colors and absurd performances, this movie is like a dreamy fairy tale for adults, but it uses cold humor to strip away the cruel reality. In the end, it leaves the audience with a profound question about... Thoughts on human nature.

However, no matter how cruel the reality is, we still have to believe in the existence of good things. As Mr. Gustav said: "See? In the barbaric slaughterhouse, there are still some glimmers of civilization. This is human nature."
