@@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.
@@ScottsShots The word 'quirky' is completely misused here and means almost nothing in this context. His characters are deadly serious, that bellboy isn't really "quirky" as much as he/everyone is dedicated to the point of absurdity...
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!
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.
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.
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.
Anonymous Oh Pleeeeeease you can't compare Wes with those directors. I mean come on Wes is one of the best in the game. I hope he never changes his style
His scenes demand perfection. Why on earth would you want a handheld or shaky cam in that? Might as well go to a museum and spray paint some graffiti on some old artworks while you're at it.
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.
Wes Anderson awkwardly explains his movie is one of my fav things.
When Wes Anderson tells you to kiss an old man you bloody well kiss an old man
+Lena Hanafy well...except when you are Gene Hackman...
+Lena Hanafy lmao
I feel bad for that kid honestly, he might have had some crazy stage parent making him take any role even if he wasn't comfortable with it

This was a much less "cinematic" commentary than I had expected.
That's all up to you.
Less "Anatomy Of A Scene" and more "Trivia Of A Scene".
Keith Klassen so true !
I was expecting him to tell us how he set up his shots and how i made his style, cuz thats what we all really wanna know
Ya he doesn't seem liked he knew he was supposed too
I would love an entire movie centered around the society of the crossed keys.
um agreed

Haystacks moving slowly across the landscape by themselves is exactly what you'll expect to see in a Wes Anderson movie.
Why can I totally see people running on landscapes under fake haystacks in a Wes Anderson film? Even behind the scenes you see quirky stuff happen. XD
+Little1Cave Honestly, after watching this video I really wish he had included something like that in the actual film XD
I'd give mouth to mouth to an old bloke if it meant being in a Wes Anderson film.
I love this movie so much
I love how the cast's cook was given a role in the movie. Anyone know if he does this in his other movies?
I'd say like 75% of Wes' characters and settings are named after people he knows.
In life aquatic His intern played intern nr.1
His sound guy played a character who is meant to be a sound guy in the life aquatic
absolutely adore this film
Personally I would have found it funny if the boy had hesitated before giving mouth to mouth.
***** Probably but I would have found a hesitation comical. ;D
I would too, but Anderson humor is different...in an Anderson film everyone is quirky but they don't really know it.

Lmao imagine walking through your snowy field as you do normally and suddenly see a haystack moving by itself
One of my favourite scenes of the movie

I believe he was referring to the actual lobby desk scenes, and how the single set served for all of them.
7 people in one haystack?
The Kaiser Clusterfuck!
polymath Excuse me?
Is this the Hungarian approach to IT?
We better revoke Hungary's EU membership.

i really want to watch this!
this is so awesome!!!
I wanna see a movie written by Quentin Tarantino, and directed by Wes Anderson.
That makes one of you, lol.
A telephone booth in the middle of a field with a light and no visible wires? I don't think so.
If he says do it , DO IT ! There is a award in it or cinematic history to be made .
I thought all along that the cook was actor Bob Balaban (Best in Show)
Guess I should read the credits but I’m not such a strong rrrrreader.
Wes Anderson talks exactly like how I would imagine Wes Anderson to talk like
Very disappointed, i wanted to know the anatomy, the structure of the scene not how the actors were reluctant to do mouth to mouth
1:53 So, Wes did mobbing this poor kid? Shame on you Wes! #metoo
"Anatomy of a Scene" ? You mean "Trivia of a Scene"?
