The Worldliness in The Grand Budapest Hotel's Films

After staying at home for nearly a month, the impact of the epidemic is slowly weakening. I watched a movie The Grand Budapest Hotel when I was bored. Initially attracted by online comments, "the scene is extremely gorgeous, but the story is more poisonous than arsenic." After reading it, I felt not only the scenes and stories, but also the humanity revealed in them, the witty and brave heroic image praised and the profound philosophy contained. People have benefited a lot.

First, stories and scenes that are too beautiful to have friends.

In The Grand Budapest Hotel, which is famous far and near and has a constant stream of guests, Mr. Gustav, the porter, and his young protege have experienced many bohemian lives, including the theft of priceless famous paintings, property disputes of aristocratic families and other absurd anecdotes; Not only that, he also used this luxury hotel to witness the smoke of war in Europe for half a century.

The Grand Budapest Hotel has a unique aesthetic style, and its pink or cool composition, exquisite mini-set and control of photographic light are pleasing to the eye. Exquisite and colorful pictures, the rhythm of the wind whistling like riding a roller coaster, and exaggerated body language have the meaning of paying tribute to "Modern Times".

This is a feast for perfectionists and obsessive-compulsive patients. Almost all scenes are symmetrical ~ the objects in the lens, a haystack, a forest or a mottled wall have been carefully decorated, and the protagonist in the foreground is always in the center of the lens. This is not like a movie, but like a collection of all artistic composition photos.

Girls' pink and fresh blue represent the meaning of gender equality. Both ice cream colors are soft colors with low saturation, which exude a strong fresh taste and are full of girls' hearts. These two colors have been fully used in the film 20 14. At the end of 15, Pantone, a world-renowned color authority, released the popular colors of "Color of the Year" 20 16, namely quiet blue and pink crystal. It can be seen that the aesthetic height of this film has been at the forefront of fashion, and even started to lead the fashion.

2. Mr Gustav, a symbol of traditional civilization

Mr Gustav likes to read and write poems, and he is well dressed. But it is a long story to treat people and things. He is full of friendly care for the widows and orphans of the rich, has no arrogant airs for the doorman, and trusts Agatha and the housekeeper. He trusted the people around him in every way, and they didn't let him down. This made him finally escape the fate of being killed by the rich family. At the same time, he is shallow, vain, hungry and sleeps with all his female friends.

But the ticket inspector on the train is arrogant and unreasonable. This may be because there were frequent wars at that time, and he didn't like soldiers in the war. Mr. Gustav, who has always been kind and polite, sympathizes with the weak and rebukes the ticket checking soldiers. "I keep my word. If you dare to touch this gentleman, I will make you lose your reputation, lose your job and lock it on the fence until sunset. " So that he was finally shot in the wasteland next to the train. Because this is a society with rules, we need to abide by the rules. For example, tickets should be checked on the train. You just can't take the bus without relevant documents. Not all problems can be solved by human feelings. Mr. Gustav didn't meet an acquaintance like the first time he took a bus, so he was planted here.

If Mr Gustav wants to protect his successor Zero, he should prepare Zero's documents in advance for inspection. After all, the first time you take a train, you should understand that there are no acquaintances, and some things can only be solved according to the rules. I hope that the ticket inspector with a gun will be intimidated by his strength and abuse and retreat. This is unrealistic. After all, people are not his acquaintances, and the rules that should be observed must be observed. Fortunately, Mr Gustav naturally asked to be exempted from Zero's ticket. The ending is sad. Just like Zero said in the end, "his world disappeared before he went in." But I have to admit that he maintained this illusion with extraordinary charm. "

2. Other characters are full of flesh and blood.

Zero, integrity is not lacking in your own ideas. Agatha, witty and brave. Agents are loyal to their duties. There is also the widow's housekeeper, the housekeeper's sister, several accomplices who escaped from prison, and the gang boss in prison. They're all cute. Personality is too plump to be annoying. On the contrary, the three sisters of the villain, the son of the deceased and the one he hired, appeared as Joplin, a murderer, which made people sweat. The better the good guys are, the more they can reflect the machine indifference of the bad guys.

Dimitri, the son of the deceased, was tyrannical, crazy and rude, ignoring laws and contracts, modifying wills, killing lawyers and chasing witnesses. He wanted to possess all the heritage of his ancestors, but he didn't inherit its essence at all. Joplin, the weirdo he hired, threw the cat out of the window and died. The agent took off his shoes and cut off four fingers to hide his eyes and ears. For the housekeeper's sister, it is beheading. The method was bloody and cruel, and was finally pushed off the cliff by the brave zero. Some critics said that the director used him as a metaphor for German fascism, terror, ignorance and reticence, and he didn't use his head to carry out orders. This kind of treatment is very subtle, which makes the audience guess the ending and can't help but make people applaud.

Zero is a man who doesn't talk much, but does things skillfully. Will come up with an idea to let Mr. Gu secretly take the painting away. I also recite love poems to show my principle "Don't molest her". Will tell people close to her how Agatha can protect herself. Strong execution, the brain thinks that the body has been acting before, which is the scene of pushing the killer off the cliff. One plot eventually inherited Mr. Gustav's legacy.

Agatha is brave, too. When she saw Dimitri following her, she used her quick wits to avoid her, so that he couldn't find her, and finally she had to go back to the elevator. As a woman, she is not as clumsy and dull as the housekeeper's sister, nor does she know how to read and read. So finally Agatha survived, and the housekeeper's sister died in the street. This is the difference between an honest man and a prick. Slick is flexible and changeable, so he doesn't necessarily suffer. Honest people are slow and easy to be calculated.

After watching the movie, I couldn't calm down for a long time. The worldly wisdom contained in the film is worth savoring.
