The Grand Budapest Hotel	comment	The Grand Budapest Hotel is a 2014 comedy film released written and directed by Wes Anderson, inspired by the writings of Stefan Zweig. The film stars Jude Law, F. Murray Abraham, Ralph Fiennes, Tony Revolori, Tom Wilkinson, Adrien Brody, Saoirse Ronan, Bill Murray and Willem Dafoe among many, many others. Alexandre Desplat composed the soundtrack.The film takes place in Zubrowka, a Mitteleuropean nation that was "once the seat of an empire" but is now recovering from war, poverty and rule by first fascists and then communists. "The Author" (Wilkinson) relates the story of the Grand Budapest Hotel: in 1968, the Author (played as a younger man by Law) took a trip to the alpine hotel, by then very much fallen on hard times. He met the owner, Mr. Zero Moustafa (Abraham), who told him the story of how the hotel fell into his possession and why he maintains it despite its clear decline.Mr. Moustafa lived through the glory days of 1932, when he was a young immigrant lobby boy (Revolori) being trained by legendary concierge M. Gustave H. (Fiennes). The hotel is glorious, the clientele is rich and the concierge keeps everything twirling. But danger strikes in the midst of this paradise when M. Gustave is accused... of murder! What follows is a madcap caper of art, war, secrecy and, of course, true love.The film was nominated for nine Academy Awards, including Best Picture, Best Director and Best Original Screenplay. It ended up winning four of those awards: Best Production Design, Best Costume Design, Best Score (for Desplat) and Best Makeup and Hairstyling. It also won BAFTAs for those four categories, as well as Best Original Screenplay.

Arguably, he was this when he met the Author as well — his very first words to him were that he had read his work before, and admired it. That was the prelude to him becoming the protagonist of the Author's next book.

The Grand Budapest Hotel / int_259d5879	comment	Anachronism Stew: In a few ways, ranging from props (e.g., Henckels using an electric megaphone) to people using terms that would not be seen for decades (e.g., "candy-ass"), to historical references: after Putting on the Reich all through the war and suggesting that Commie Land immediately follows, the film informs us that Agatha and her baby died after the war from the "Prussian grippe," a clear Expy of The Spanish Flu which killed millions right after World War One. This most likely reflects the multiple layers of disconnect that come from a hazy recollection of the 30s relayed during the 60s, recorded in memoir in the 80s, and then read in the present day of the 2010s. During the second train scene, what appears to be a Sd.Kfz.251/22 half-track is shown among the fascist soldiers stopping the train. This vehicle wouldn't be put into service until late 1944, long after the early 1930s setting of the scene.

The Grand Budapest Hotel / int_294ed981	type	Bilingual Bonus
The Grand Budapest Hotel / int_294ed981	comment	Bilingual Bonus: Ever heard of Zubrowka? It's a Polish grass vodka brand. The same applies for the German names: Nebelsbad literally means "fog bath." Lutz (possibly a play on the real Polish town of Łódź) is either a pet name for "Ludwig" (Louis) or a surname. To those who know how "Kovacs" is properly pronounced - it is "Kovatch" ("cs" is pronounced as "tch" in Hungarian), actually a common last name for Central and Southern Europe meaning "smith"and "tch" being a very typical ending of the last names there in general - hearing it uttered all the time as "Kovax" is an additional small source of laughs. Possible Fridge Brilliance here is that this may be how the student reading the Author's book pronounces it (provided she herself hails from outside the region).

Given that the place is a spa town, one of the many attractions on offer at the hotel are the steam baths, which are used as a therapeutic treatment among other things; as such, when the Author attends the hotel to recover from his bout of neurasthenia, he's indulging in some hydrotherapy when he meets Zero for the first time.

Gustave, in the '30s, acts as though he lives in the Victorian era, presumably when the hotel first opened, which as the old Zero points out in the '60s scenes was a time period he never actually lived through. Madame D.'s dress sense pegs her as an artifact of the Georgian period even further back. Zero in the '60s keeps the hotel exactly as it was when he was first hired in the '30s, despite the fact that society's tastes have moved on and he's rapidly losing money.

The Grand Budapest Hotel / int_40cc0c7e	comment	Bittersweet Ending: So much of the film is in flashback, and much has been lost simply because so many years have passed since the story's events. To wit: Gustave is vindicated of any involvement in Madame D's murder and inherits a large sum of her fortune, including the Grand Budapest, leaving Dimitri with nothing. However, Mr. Gustave is shortly thereafter executed by a fascist death squad, leaving everything to Zero. Soon afterwards Zero's wife and infant child both die from an infectious disease (one which moreover, Zero bitterly remarks, would later become easily treatable). Zero lives at the Grand Budapest while history marches on and the hotel diminishes, decays and is eventually demolished after his death. However, thanks to the Author's book, the dream of the Grand Budapest at the height of its elegance lives on. Pilgrims come from far and wide to hang hotel keys on the Author's grave.

Wes Anderson clearly doesn't care what accent the characters have, and all the actors keep their native dialect regardless of whom they are playing. American actors sound American, Brits sound British, and so on. Even people within the same family have wildly differing accents; Madame D. is played by Tilda Swinton and sounds British, while her son Dmitri is played by Adrien Brody and sounds American. Even Saoirse Ronan is finally able to use her native Irish accent.

The Grand Budapest Hotel / int_9b53f32	comment	Exposed to the Elements: Gustave and Zero spend quite a lot of time running around in the snow-covered rooftops/country-side/mountains. While they'll fully dressed, they're notably lacking in coats, gloves or really anything to keep the warmth in — Zero in particular has short sleeves and no shoes in one scene! — but the cold never really seems to bother them too much. This really comes into play when Zero and Gustave chase after Jopling in a very high-speed chase down snowy mountains. After exiting the art museum and walking through the snow-covered street, Jopling doesn't bother to put his shoes back on.
