The Grand Budapest Hotel | Eastern North Carolina Now
Wes Anderson's films are an eclectic hodgepodge of reserved goodness; some sweeter than others, but all resilient as tested by time, and a perfect evening in the present.
In the shadow of the political assassination of Charlie Kirk, founder of Turning USA, a stain now exists upon our nation's collective conscious, a condition that must be excised, or our nation will not function properly as one of a self-governed people. Understanding these long standing truths: What would you suggest as a quick, and, or proper corrective measure?
22.22% Destroy the Fascist Donald Trump and all of MAGA, because America must never be Great Again.
77.78% Our self-governed people, and their properly restored institutions, under President Trump, must discover the root causes to properly correct, and save our Constitutional Republic.
0% I thought we had to shut down Free Speech we don't like to save our "democracy," so I am totally confused now.
While this next passage is less about the film, and more about the the draw power of a rather obscure (to many) Wes Anderson, I would be remiss to fail to mention the many yet unmentioned, but competent actors, who are Wes Anderson regulars, that gave central or cameo performances in this fine film, who are: Adrien Brody as Dimitr; Bill Murray as a fellow hotel concierge; Edward Norton as the newly indoctrinated police / ZZ inspector; Jason Schwartzman as the 1960's era concierge of the Grand Budapest when it was in decline; Tilda Swinton as Madame D., the murdered 84 year old lover of Gustave H.; Owen Wilson as a fellow hotel concierge; and Bob Balaban as another fellow hotel concierge, and Harvey Keitel as Ludwig, the prisoner.
When one considers which regular Anderson actors that did appear in The Grand Budapest Hotel, one could seriously query: Where was Luke Wilson and Anjelica Huston?

Wes Anderson's effort, in it's tight 100 minutes of runtime, was such a fine film, as defined by the high standards of the consistent Mr. Anderson, that my wife stated: "We should buy the DVD." "Good idea", I countered, "We'll need it for the second and third viewings."
Rated R. Released on DVD June 17, 2014.
