Wes Anderson's Movie THE GRAND BUDAPEST HOTEL





This movie was directed by Wes Anderson,  produced by Wes Anderson,  screenplay by Wes Anderson and the story was by Wes Anderson,  Steven M. Rules, and Scott Rudin.
The base of the movie is the grand Budapest Hotel in the Alps and the hotel's concierge over a period of time that Germany was ravaging over Europe and how the Third Reich effected every one - and believe or not, it is a comedy, with its serious ponders.

I enjoyed it because it was a good history lesson and the cinematography.   The cinematographer, Robert Yeoman did a great job   - I think either he or the director Wes Anderson was compulsive on showing human motion  in a comparison way..... hard to explain.  Think of ducks walking single file with the mama duck leading...... there is plenty of that kind of orderly kind of motion..... plus some chase scenes, which any action packed movie will have some good chase scenes - it is an unwritten law.
The cameo of stars came and went and some came back.   The main star, the  concierge Monsieur Gustave was played by Ralph Fiennes; Jude Law was an author; Jeff Goldblum had reoccurring part;  so did Ed Norton;  Bill Murray, Owen Wilson, and many more.


Once during the movie we snoozed.   We went back to see what we missed and overlapped ourselves maybe 20 to 30 minutes and in the parts we saw the second time we discovered one thing neat about the movie that each time you watch it, I think you will notice something visually or implied that you haven't noticed before.
