"The Grand Budapest Hotel" is a rare masterpiece in terms of story content, structure, cast, historical background and aesthetic attainments. Its highlights are the unified symmetrical composition and pink literary and artistic tone, which can be said to be the ultimate Neo-Confucian aesthetic + romantic tone control. This film tells the theme of the decline of traditional European civilization, but it has a fairy tale and dreamy visual experience throughout.
