What message did The Grand Budapest Hotel convey? What does it have to do with Zweig's experience?

The Grand Budapest Hotel is not my favorite wes anderson movie, but it doesn't hinder its dazzling viewing experience in the cinema. ?

It has all the elements of Webster's films: moving scenery, warm and gorgeous scenery, exquisite decoration and costumes, cold humor, a huge focus, one or several amazing growth relationships and eternal Bill Murray. Of course, the mini-set and the control of photographic light are still pleasing to the eye, and with the music of Randall Post and alexandre desplat, just one hour and forty minutes is a fairy tale experience. ?

The story revolves around the mysterious master of The Grand Budapest Hotel, and the memories are nested in the memories. Zero, a hotel porter born as a refugee, was trained by Mr. Gustav, the hotel manager. He is a perfect old gentleman. He followed him through a series of incredible events, such as theft, murder, prison break and escape, and witnessed the collapse of "aristocratic Europe" through the fire of guns. It is said that Mr. Gustav is a "perfect old gentleman", because he is meticulous in hotel management, thoughtful, elegant in manners, keeps his promises and respects everyone's personality and feelings, but he frequently cheats with old ladies who come to the hotel for vacation. It is estimated that in the noble code of conduct, cheating is not anti-human and degrading, because it is romantic. What's more, the old ladies lack care, and finally they can even go to noble drawers to give romance to life, hehe. ?

But the so-called plot is not the point. The most important feature of wes anderson's films is the emotional flavor. There is an important prop representing this taste-cologne L'Air de Panache, which means "gorgeous fragrance". Mr. Gustav sprayed a lot of "gorgeous fragrance", which means that the delicate, flashy and elegant taste will last for a long time after he left. Even on the way to escape, he must not lose his gentlemanly demeanor. So what does a real gentleman taste like? ?

We know from Mr Gustav that a gentleman should:

Dress meticulously, don't overstep the rules, take your time, and always be in order.

Know how to read and write poetry, even if you go to jail.

Respect and pursue beauty, cherish ladies from the bottom of my heart.

Respect the truth, sincerely apologize for the wrong remarks, and do not engage in class discrimination.

A promise is a promise.

In the face of violence and injustice, we must take action and would rather die than surrender.

The smell of L'Air de Panache fills the whole screen and lingers in the humorous jokes from beginning to end of the film. It was the humanistic spiritual home of Europe before the war. ?

However, no matter how it is summed up, it is wrong, because L'Air de Panache cannot and should not be repeated by language. It is a tireless visual detail in the film, a strictly symmetrical structure of the pink hotel, a gorgeous package of Mendel cupcakes, a close and ubiquitous underground hotel organization network, and a deer statue in the Czech hot spring town of karlovy vary. It is wes anderson's eyes looking back at history and Zweig's lost Europe. L'Air de Panache is The Grand Budapest Hotel. ?

However, The Grand Budapest Hotel finally declined. ?

But in the tail fragrance of L'Air de Panache, in the empty hotel restaurant, among the lonely and silent travelers, there are cupcakes left by Mendel. And music, Swiss, Hungarian and Russian country music. ?

This is really disappointing, but at the same time it is gently happy. ?

So I once again sincerely sigh that life is always lucky to see wes anderson's movies.
