The ending is so melancholy. Not just from what we know, but in the fact that it ended. It’s one of those things you just want to see keep going, but you’re hit with the inevitability that nothing lasts forever.

Ok not gonna lie I did not click on this at first, thinking "there's no way you can adequately dissect that movie in 11 minutes" and then I watched it and you did it, great job!

This movie made me realize how an unbelievable film can wrap you in a blanket of the story. You become part of the world it feels. It's amazing. It's beyond a movie. It feels like fine art.

Yess it's a fantastic movie. So well done in so so many ways.

This movie so elegantly demonstrates that the only way to live meaningfully amidst the frequent brutality and absurdity of life is to act with humanity and grace, even if these traits are often unrewarded or even mocked, they are their own reward.

This video essay was fantastic ! Thank you !! Ironically, the way it describes Gustav's perspective, reminds me of how religious people see their holy books and religion. And Zero's telling of it, is so much like that of a preacher's explanation of "reality". Perhaps this is how we all keep sane... framing these yarns we tell from our "memories" in beautiful aspect ratios, with vibrant colors, while the world around us seems "barely civilized".

LOVE LOVE LOVE your analysis. I've always pored over the layers in this movie. I have this feeling, maybe it was unintentional, but the "author" feels like he is portrayed as petty, unreliable, undeserving, of delivering the story, so we get these fantastical versions (an exact mexico birthmark, etc.) of the story because of that laziness/ineptitude.

masterpiece

An interesting and competently edited essay, promising great things to come. However, I think you could have gotten to your conclusion way easier (and avoided some awkward misunderstandings along the way, like the statement that Gustave M. is eager to be part of "high society", which you only later correct to a yearning about class not in the mentary sense but in the attribute of decency), if you would have researched what the movie literally says on the tin, or rather, in the dedication title and the setting. The dedication to Stefan Zweig could have told you everything you worked out yourself, as would have research into the literature and zeitgeist of Central Europe (especially the Austro-Hungarian empire) in the 20s, 30s and the exile literature of the 40s. Writers like Zweig (and Musil etc.) romanticized the colourful and vibrant pre-war era (and especially not only the high society, but just like Wes Anderson also the lowlifes, the craftsmen, the bohème, before the disillusionment and shock of national socialism). I think that neither Anderson nor Gustave idolize high sovciety - the aristocratic family of the murdered countess is told with zero adoration, whereas bakeries, cinemas, fun fairs and other mass entertainment is celebrated. Just as I think you misunderstand the several time periods as more stylized or more realistic - the 90s post-Communism world is just as colour-corrected and stylized both in blocking and in aesthetics as is the drab 60s Communist design or the 30s pre-war splendor. Notice the same stylized camerawork and staging in all timee frames, as well as the same ultra-strict reliance on each distinct colour palette to think that the most modern one was "realistc" is a grave mistake, I feel. All of them are boiled down to their perfect clichés. Yes, it may be a story about nostalgia, but it's a very distinct (and, perhapts, timely) one: the nostalgia for a time when culture flourished and was cherished; the nostalgia you can nly feel in exile, after everything, your language, your country, your dreams, has been taken away from you and distorted and discredited, and even after this horror has been overcome, there is just a drab, communist stasis for decades. I personally think this is actually a film about our very own times. I think it's Anderson reading Zweig and (like many other readers) coming away with a profound sense of gratitude and celebration for the here and now. A gratitude that manifests itself in a pre-emptive nostalgia for the present, before a threat of fascism and barbarism may once again rear its ugly head. A quiet and pastell-coloured plea for more civility in our times, for more "class", for more idealism. You make it sound as if Anderson exposes or even mocks Gustanve's and Zero's ideals and nostalgia, but I think he celebrated them and invites us to do the same: to live a life striving for decency, love, open-mindedness, service and joie de vivre, and against fear, bullies and tyrany.

Of all the bad things in this world, being influenced by the character of M. Gustave is not one of them.

@@RedGeist yeah, I see that. Its just very confusing.

I am SO sick of this director's work. Every single film he makes is a replica of the last one on all levels. His pace and rhythm never change, static camera, glib deliveries, curt storytelling, and narration.....There's the "signature," and then there's a lack of imagination, and that seems to be this filmmaker's (and I use the term loosely) tired and crutch-like format, from which he never deviates either! An auteur, he's not!

Geez! Whoever wrote this script... Please Stop!

I found this film pretentious and a bore.
