Good , But It Is Overrated By Some
It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.
Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.
This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama
The Grand Budapest Hotel is a sweet adventure that will warm your heart, wes anderson knows how make a emotional scene even with a cartoony tone and cartoony characters, the acting is great especially with Ralph Fiennes, the way this movie is shot is amazing it's shot like it's in the time period and wes anderson uses the the practical effects used at the time and uses Aspect Ratio that were used at the time, my only problems is that some of the actors are underused like Bill Murray and Tilda Swinton and there was that one scene where there was an old naked woman but thats the only problems with the movie, overall the movie was amazing you will love it.
If you like Wes Anderson, you will love this movie. Witty, entertaining and pleasant, it is a comedy in his unique style, that hits all the tones and notes that make him a unique and original director.
Offbeat, delightfully funny and at times even poignant. Incredible cast. Well written. This movie isn't for everyone but for those who get it, it's a piece of art. My only regret is that I didn't see it 4 years ago.
Wes Anderson is a master at using limited, but powerful color palettes, fast, witty dialogue, and character driven plots to create beautiful worlds with beautiful stories. He has never done better than The Grand Budapest Hotel. The Grand Budapest follows the adventure of M. Gustave (Ralph Fiennes) and his lobby boy, Zero (Tony Revolori) as they "steal" a priceless painting and try to find the missing second will of Madame D. (Tilda Swinton). We are told the story through the perspective of the Author (Jude Law) who is told the story through the perspective of Mr. Moustafa (F. Murray Abraham). The film is rounded out with Anderson's usual cast of unusual characters; Bob Balaban, Adrien Brody, Willem Dafoe, Jeff Goldblum, Harvey Keitel, Bill Murray, Edward Norton, Jason Schwartzman, and Owen Wilson with one time collaborator Saoirse Ronan.The film's pastel palette adds to the visual look with the bright pinks and reds of the hotel at its peak in the 30s and the muted oranges and greens of the hotel well passed its prime in the 60s. The comedic one-liners of M. Gustave parallel the more somber tones of Mr. Moustafa to combine to make a script that is sure to make you laugh and maybe even make you tear up at the end. The movie would not be complete without the beautiful score created by Alexandre Desplat which includes fast pace guitar with slow piano playing that add to the tones of both the 30s and 60s timelines.
