This is one of the most unique films I’ve ever seen

Adrian Brody killed it That walk he does down the hallway

"It was an enchanting old ruin, but I never managed to see it again." I can't help but feel this quote referring to the hotel is actually a metaphor for Europe before and then after WW2.

If pure joy was a movie, it would be this one.

Willem Dafoe in the most Looney Tunes death scene of the history of cinema.

One thing I love about Wes Anderson is that his style is so unique and apparent. You watch any of his films and immediately know it’s his.

Wes might be the only director that can easily get a hold of Bill Murray

Willem Dafoe yeeting the cat out the window gets me every time 😂

Wes Anderson's cinematography makes you fall in love with every take of his movie .

F Murray Abraham, who plays the older Zero Moustafa here, is an Oscar winning actor for his portayal as Salieri in Milos Forman´s Amadeus which is so underappreciated today. The best Best Picture Oscar winner of the 1980s imo. Well worth a reaction, Brandon!

I love the running gag of no one ever finishing a poem.

I’m waiting for a reaction to the Royal Tenenbaums, no ones reacted to it and it’s my favorite Wes Anderson movie

Did you just throw my cat out the window? Lmao

Wes Anderson has one of the most beautiful styles in cinema

I'm a massive fan of Wes Anderson but this really is his masterpiece, I think. It's such a unique vision and the realisation of it is absolutely faultless. As always, it's a pleasure to watch your reaction too. Keep up the excellent work.

*Agatha with his birthmark of México on her cheek* Mexicans: OMG! That's so cool, what does it mean????? Wes: looks cool 👍

The score for this film is up there with the classics in terms of how well-crafted and recognizable it is. What a masterpiece.

Owen and Luke Wilson are staples of Wes Anderson films, with both making their screen debuts in Wes Anderson's directorial debut, "Bottlerocket". The three are also all close friends, with Owen and Wes meeting in their sophomore year at UT Austin in a play writing class before becoming roommates.

One of the most aesthetically pleasing movies I’ve ever seen. The colours just pop!!! I wish more movies are like this!

This and Moonrise Kingdom are my favourite of Wes Anderson's live action works.

Old bloke with the tattoos helping Gustav escape was also Mr Wolf in Pulp Fiction.

This film is super solid. But Fantastic Mr Fox needs to be next. It's so cussing good. And then the Darjeeling Limited. Ugh I love them so much.

You should definitely check out more of Wes Anderson ! His films truly stand out.

The Royal Tenenbaums is still my favorite. You gotta do that one next.

I think everyone ranks Wes Anderson movies differently based on which ones speak to the person the most. For me it's Darjeeling Limited, while one of the less appreciated films of his, the story and topics it touches make a connection with me. Also the Kinks-engorged soundtrack is really nice.

The film is a cinematic work of art. The soundtrack, the cinematography, the cast. All spectacular.

I love everything about this film. The acting, the cinematography, the soundtrack. My favorite Anderson film. Hope you'll be checking out Rushmore. Another one of Wes' classics.

If you are interested in more Wes Anderson react to ‘Rushmore’. I think its his first or second film and it is a much lower scale compared to this, but is an incredible film. Doesnt have to be on camera, but I recommend you watch it.

I love how this movie includes the viewer in the framing of how the story is told too. Like- at the center is the story of M. Gustave, being told by Zero, being heard by the young author, being narrated by the older author, read by the girl, and viewed by the watcher. And I guess when you make a reaction video, it becomes all that- plus the reaction, and then the viewers of the reaction. It's so many stories tucked into each other- and your story of how you came to watch it and how you are watching it are included too in a way : D

If you haven’t seen Fantastic Mr. Fox yet, I’d highly recommend it🙂 Edit: Since you’re a big Bill Murray fan, perhaps Rushmore would be a better choice. Both are fantastic Wes Anderson films & you can’t go wrong with either.

The Grand Budapest Hotel moves up my list of favorite films every time I watch it. It is just a ton of fun to watch.

I swear this is the only film that I’ve rewatched again, and again without being bored. It is a literal gem and feel like it’s highly underappreciated.

wes anderson is my faaaave director. love him and love this film. i really want french dispatch to come out soon

Yep, this is one of the best films ever. Juuust enough of every character too. Ralf Fiennes absolutely nailed it - nobody else could have got that role that perfect. MAYBE Anthony Hopkins.

I like how you lit up when Goldblum and Bill Murray first appear. Those were my favorite moments when I first saw it

This, Isle of Dogs and Fantastic Mr Fox are utter masterpieces! I love Wes Anderson!

Rushmore and Grand Budapest are his two best movies. Hope you'll watch Rushmore soon.

I love Wes Anderson. He made my 2019 summer even better. That's when I got into his films. I just remember coming home from the beach and getting caught in a massive storm but the rain was warm. So I just walked home shirtless while everyone else was running for their lives. And when I got home, I watched the Darjeeling Limited.

Nominated for 9 Oscars including Best Picture, but won 4 Oscars, while Birdman: The Virtue of Ignorance won Best Picture.

I feel like this movie is something Baz Luhrmann wishes he could make, such a splendid piece of art!

In my opinion, it's his best film period. One of my all-time favorite films.

Oh wow. I can't believe you did this movie. So damn good.

One of my fave movies from Wes Anderson catalogue.

Would love to see you react to The Pianst, which also features Adrien Brody.

Really great film. One of the best modern comedies. I would highly recommend the equally brilliant Burn After Reading.

This is definitely his most "epic" movie and at the peak of his game, though I think he has a few that are more emotionally resonant

Definitely my favourite Wes Anderson film. Practically perfection in every way.

My favorite Wes Anderson films are The Darjeeling Limited and Isle of Dogs, but I love all of them. :) Rushmore is probably the one I've watched the most. So classic.

The scene where Ludwig slaps Zero after escaping the prison while saying goodbye was shot 42 times and Harvey Keitel actually slapped him every single time.

I’m so happy I saw this on the big screen. Have you seen The Fall? I think you would love the cinematography in that one.

THIS IS LITERALLY MY FAVORITE FILM EVER!!! IM SO HAPPY TO SEE YOU WATCH THIS!!!

Bill Murray is in every Wes Anderson movie, just like Michael Caine is in every Christopher Nolan movie!

Yes, I have been waiting for this video for a while! Glad you liked it Brandon!

Wes Anderson is a master at his art. This in my opinion is his finest work.

The carrousel scene is top tier beautiful

I can't even begin to explain the delight and super quick watch of this magnificent film. Thank you for the journey, I loved seeing it again through your eyes.

Can you put "The Fall" and "Death to Smoochy" on your patreon polls to react to? You'd LOVE them!

This being my favorite film, it makes me so happy to see the joy on your face after finishing it. It easily took me three to five rewatches to feel like I had caught all of the minute details that had been tucked in to it for the viewer to just absolutely savor. The same can be said for my friends who are also fans. You, being such an astute observer of the media, will probably be there after just one or two, honestly. You caught so much that took me a second watch just to notice, and again it makes me all the happier. I'm impressed, and possibly just a bit thick. Love the channel, anyway. And I think you were right, too, about having seen a couple of Anderson's earlier projects prior to watching this, if only because doing so warms you up to his style and primes your senses for what this film delivers. It's almost like you need to be ready for it if you're to really grasp it all. If, or when, you rewatch it, I urge you to pay significant attention to what I'd like to call the geometry of the film. You clearly picked up the vast majority of the plot points. But there is so much more to appreciate in the shape of it all that I am uncertain whether or not you entirely caught everything it has to offer, only because I didn't hear commentary on specific things. The use of the Rule of Thirds in the framing, in essentially every shot. You'll find without exception that any time that rule is violated, it is for a very good reason. The symmetry of the storytelling with regards to how it all starts and how it all ends. The particulars of the color palettes. The particular use of specific musical motifs, be they oriented around specific characters, points in time, situations, or locations. The parallels drawn with broad strokes across the entirely of the film with regard to all of these things. You called it a masterpiece, and I absolutely agree, but I think your appreciation of this one will only deepen with time and another viewing or two. Sorry not sorry for the short essay. Wishing you all the best! Looking forward to your future content!

I watched this a week before it was released as part of a review and promotion by the movie theatre and I absolutely loved the Film Noir Style. This should be a broadway play to be honest. GREAT EPIC MASTERPIECE

just got on my break at work, got a sick pizza and soda in front of me. i'm gonna enjoy myself and watch my favorite legend!! 💕💕

Hitting like before the ads even finished. I know B is gonna love this

I forgot how much I adore this movie

One of my favorite films! I got so excited seeing you react to it.

So glad you’re reacting to one of my favorite films of the past decade!

love this movie a lot! the colors, the plot, everything~

One of my favorites!! I love the 1920s style scenery and the various formats thrown in together.

Your wonderful vibes always cheers me up even when I’m not even down, keep it up Brandon I love ur content.

The shootout in the hotel is one of the most hilarious gunfights ever

This is my favorite Wes Anderson film--so rewatchable & enjoyable. FYI the chase through the art museum scene is an homage to a very similar scene from Hitchcock's Cold War spy film, "Torn Curtain," in which Paul Newman's character is pursued through a Berlin museum.

While the plot and characters weren't as incredible to me as I had hoped...the cinematography and set design is impeccable. Everything looks like a miniature and I adore it. Also, the testament scene right at the start is one I especially love. Basically a testament reading in the hunting room which every relative, how small and insignificant they may be, trying to "hunt" the fortune. The late madam basically became prey and all the vultures "in black" came to get sum. How can you not love such love to detail and practical storytelling?

My favorite Wes Anderson movie! Every rewatch you catch more and more details

I am in my late 60's and this is one of only a handful of films that I fell in love with on first viewing. Thanks for doing this one!

all those colours were so amazing to get blasted with in theatres

One of my all time favorites and you reaction came out on my birthday!

One thing I adore, is that the film gives away the whole plot right at the beggining, Boy with Apple is in the Lobby of the grand budapest in the very first scene there.

I'm a big Wes Anderson fan. Another great reaction video. I'm looking forward to you making your way through the rest of his catalog.

I got see this movie for my 19th birthday- it was not what I expected,but what was I expecting? Idk. But I LOVED IT. I got so excited by the thumbnail, watching you watch it is like getting to relive my experience all over again!!

Yes! Excited to watch, Grand Budapest Hotel is my favorite Wes Anderson film. Gorgeous color palette, hilarious and a stacked cast.

this is one of my favourite movies. it is completely amazing

I love the pure joy of your smile and laugh at the irony of the shoot out and how things play out in the end.

So happy you're doing this! This was the best movie of 2014 I don't care what the academy says.

This is a beautiful film. Period. Great and genuine reaction. Love your vids dude :)

This movie is a brilliant masterpiece, a true work of art from start to finish.

So glad you like this film. It's such a wonderful masterpiece.

Hope your doing good man! Thanks for the amazing content!

Been waiting for this one since The Life Aquatic. I am so hyped right now. Lets do this! My favorite movie!

Lord Voldemort is just amazing!!

Perfect movie in every sense ❤

To this day, this movie must have the largest all star cast of any movie. This is pretty much one of my favorite movies.

You need to watch Interstellar if you haven't. I think its Christopher Nolans best work

If you haven't seen it one of my favorites of his is Rushmore. It also has Bill Murray.

Yes Brandon! Great content as usual!

So glad you got around to this film! One of my favorites and certainly Anderson at his best

Oh, I love that you're reacting to Wes' films, they're fantastic. You must watch The Royal Tenembaums and Fantatic Mr. Fox, my all time favorites :¬)

'You pathetic creep...I hate you.' What a brutal comeback. LOL!

nice to see a reaction to this movie..rly loved the style of it

i adore all of wes' filmography (even Darjeeling Limited, it's actually one of my favorites) but this is undoubtedly his magnum opus.

it was fun to see Ralph Finnes (He who shall not be named) and F Murray Abraham in this movie. What a fantastic movie and awesome cast. Thanks for reviewing it. I really enjoy your videos

Hell yeah man! I been waitin for this one

I was very curious about your opinion and now i am very happy, that you liked and maybe even loved the movie too. Its not only my favorite movie of the last decade, its also one of my favorites of all time. You can rewatch this movie over and over again and it always warms my heart. I love the cinematography, the actors and the overall mood, but there is this kind of magic you can feel while watching it, that a lot of movies dont have. Its a surreal tale that doesnt feel forced or tries to be artsy. Everything fits together perfectly and nothing could / should have been done better or different, to become such a masterpiece of a film.
