The Grand Budapest Hotel

I just finished watching "The Grand Budapest Hotel" and I must say it was an amazing movie. A mystery movie that ads humor to it and makes you want to continue watching till the end.

 Starting with the casting, it had a little bit of everything. It had serious actors and various comedians, all witch brought a perfect combination of humors to the movie. All where very good actors like: Ralph Fiennes, Adrien Brody, Jude Law, Bill Murray, and many other extraordinary actors. They all did a perfect impersonation of their characters.

Moving to the soundtrack and scenery, it was all also perfect. Since the movie is situated in the year of 1968, the movie contains a lot of music related to those times and is also fascinating to the ear, since it contains a series of different themes that help build the mood of the movie.  Also, the change of scenery is marvelous since you can see the time go by in the hotel through the years. And even though it is all situated mostly in the hotel and in the town, everything is well planed, and you can feel as if the movie was actually made in those years. The clothing, the words they use, everything makes you feel as if you were in Budapest in 1968.

The only thing could be the special effects used when you only see shadows of the characters, but I think that is part of the magic in this movie.

I strongly recommend this movie. But I must warn you, it is not a movie for everyone. I love mystery games and old like movies, so I really liked this movie, but I'm afraid there might be people who are too centered on the main plot, that will miss many of the details of this beautiful movie.

Lots of love
