"The Grand Budapest Hotel" Three loves brought out by outstanding aesthetic sense and craftsmanship
2019.08.11
The film itself is a “film library” directed by Wes.
Let's touch on another element that will please cinephiles: its connections to past masterpieces. First of all, I would like to review the synopsis of this work.
The Grand Budapest Hotel is Europe's most luxurious hotel, where elegant guests gather. Its "face", the famous concierge Gustav H. (Ralph Fiennes), charmed many guests with his thorough service spirit. However, an incident occurs in which a regular customer, the countess Madame D (Tilda Winston), is murdered. Gustav is gifted a valuable painting according to her will, and becomes a suspect in her murder... Gustav tries to prove his innocence while continuing his escape with his favorite disciple, lobby boy Zero (Tony Revolori).
Director Wes Anderson was born in 1969. Just as a hotel attracts a wide variety of guests, this work also serves as a ``box'' that strongly reflects his colorful film life.
For example, many people point out that director Wes was influenced by Stanley Kubrick's `` The Shining '' (1980), which he admires. It is also a work set in a hotel, and there are many similarities in art and composition.

In addition, director Wes said in an interview that he has directed `` Grand Hotel '' (32), `` To Live or Die '' (42), `` The Old Soldier Never Dies '' (43), and `` Night of the Hunter '' ( It is said that it contains a large amount of the essence of classic movies of yesteryear, such as `` Silence '' (63) directed by Ingmar Bergman. This film itself can be said to be director Wes's film history.
It seems like it takes a lot of movie IQ to be able to sense and find links with other works, but it's also a happy The Game between the director and the audience. Hints that stimulate the inquisitive spirit of movie lovers become more apparent the more times you watch them. This is one of the reasons why this work is still so popular even after five years.
