Over spring break, I was lucky enough to visit the AMC movie
theater in NYC. What’s special about this theater is that, unlike the normal,
relatively comfortable seating that is generally in movie theaters, this place
had beautiful, plush, reclining seats. I cannot begin to express to you how
much more enjoyable my movie experience was, and I would go into further
detail, but I don’t want to get sidetracked.
What I really wanted to talk about was the movie that I saw.
I went to see the Grand Budapest Hotel, written and directed by Wes Anderson.
If there were a way to describe this movie, I would say that it is very “Wes
Anderson” (if that makes any sense). The entire movie was very fast paced both
in dialogue and in action. The storyline was interesting and there were a ton
of stars such as Ralph Fiennes, Adrien Brody, and of course the short
appearance of Bill Murray. But although the story and cast were captivating,
the real star aspect of this movie was the set design and art direction. The
entire film was flooded with bright colors and large, detailed spaces. Here are
a few pictures to show what I am referring to:
If only for the set design and art direction, I would highly
recommend you see this movie. The colors are beautiful and detailed. The
cinematography is creative and the costumes are fitting. I would also highly
recommend seeing this film in a movie theater because all of these things are
much better seen on such a large screen (and of course if you can go somewhere
with comfy reclining chairs, I would recommend that too).
