      @@mfritz1830 I've worked background for many years and i doubt it was crazy parents. He was almost certainly hired mainly cause he fit the costume and looked the part, and wasn't told what he was doing until he got to work that day. He was probably told an hour before. He probably panicked and phoned his agent and said he didn't want to do it. And his agent likely told him don't worry you don't have to, knowing full well they don't have that kind of authority. Furthermore they were in Dresden Germany so he probably hadn't done many feature films before. Its the job. Sometimes it's fun, and then other times you have to kiss an old man.

    Iclove how from a 2hr film, a directore can pick a scene and tell every pertinent thing, from the big picture to the details! That is how you know they are a great director; they know the story unside out and how to tell it. This takkes care of the magic of the storytelling experience.

      There was a little two-minute short video (A DVD extra, I believe) explaining various things the Society of Crossed Keys did to minimize the damage that Zig Zag were doing. They were waging a secret war with the fascists.

    I came to this video looking for one thing in particular, which I couldn't find confirmation of anywhere else. Had to hear it directly from the horse's mouth! So, contrary to most of the other comments seemingly, this video was exactly the kind of thing I was hoping it would be!

  • @jacobroy1812

    I was hoping for something more technical. This is mostly just useless trivia. I want to know how they kept everything so consistent in those exterior shots. In real life light fades rapidly around that time of day and with the number of shots they needed to get I can't imagine how they would have filmed it in one evening on location.

      take a long exposure landscape picture during a black out, itll just look like day time with stars, so as long as there isnt a breath taking sunset happening all they did was adjust the light exposure

    Guys, I'm always disappointed by these videos. The director never deconstructs the "anatomy of a scene", but instead tells fun details. It's alright, but it's not what I came here for. I want to know why Wes included the scene, and what purpose it serves to the story. What directions did he give the actors? Did something come to him during shooting that changed his view of the scene as a whole? That would be a much more valuable use of the time with such a legendary director.

    • @samaraisnt
      @samaraisnt 4 роки тому +6

      Most directors aren't good for that, I have never heard one commentary (and I enjoy them!) where the director deconstructed in that way. What you're looking for is a film historian's approach, I listened to a Criterion commentary of an Antoini film and it helped me understand the film, the use of color, sets, etc. This is more what you are looking for, a scholar studies everything about a film so they include that, but a director creates it. It's similar to hearing painters speak about their work, it's boring (and pointless) to hear them say "Yes, I used a 2B brush here and applied upward strokes" that's a tutorial, which is not what directors set out to do when they commentate on their films.

    My main problem with The Grand Budapest Hotel is that it is so over-stylized. Wes Anderson, I love the aesthetic of your films but please tone it back a little! Not every scene has to have a dolly shot. At this point it's like watching a Zack Snyder or Michael Bay movie. Wes' pictures really could use a handheld or shaky cam every now and then.

    • @drewsmovies1416
      @drewsmovies1416 6 років тому +4

      Anonymous I understand your problems, but at least this is WAY better than a Zack Snyder or Michael Bay film. And every big named director is like this, Quentin Tarantino has this problem too, even though his films are still great.

    Just watch your new movie The Grand Budapest Hotel"
    My question to you is why so many Skull and bones, illuminati references room 133 a skull and bones mark, "Boy with apple" he is holding the apple with his thumb and index finger and the other fingers splayed out to form the 666, on and on and on.
    How does it feel to make propaganda NWO films. Is it worth the money, the fame, and the perceived freedom that you think it gives you.
    How do you sleep at night knowing you create trash like this.
    you are one of many who have sold their soul to something that does not care, or have empathy for anything but hate, misery, and death when this evil comes to past you and your kind will be on the list of crimes against humanity.
