The Grand Budapest Hotel is a story of an extravagant hotel managed by extravagant people in the extravagant—and fictional—country of Zubrowka. The story is told in four different time periods and in several different parts. In order of appearance, the first storyline is presumably in present of a young girl visiting a monument to the hotel, then the setting jumps to the author of the story of The Grand Budapest Hotel, again it jumps to the present-day hotel, and finally Zero’s story of how the hotel was while he was a lobby boy. Zero tells of the past grandeurs of the hotel and its concierge, Gustave H. He finds himself wrapped up in a murder mystery involving one of Gustave H’s closest visitors, the wealthy Madame D. Gustave is accused and sent to prison, and Zero becomes his outside accomplice. After breaking him out of prison, Zero attends to Gustave while he embarks on a quest to clear his name. Their adventure ends in success and Gustave inherits all of Madame D’s riches. Gustave entrusts ownership of the Grand Budapest Hotel to Zero. Even though the hotel falls into disrepair, Zero still visits in an attempt to relive these days, even sleeping in his old, cramped servant room.
One theory regarding The Grand Budapest Hotel is that it is taking place before, during, and after the Holocaust. There are many subtle parallels between this fantasy world and Europe throughout the film, but the one that stands out most is the military seizure of The Grand Budapest. Banners
Both Capote’s Breakfast at Tiffany’s and Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby illustrate that when one centers their life upon the propriety and luxury that a traditionalistic lifestyle supports, they will repress into the comfort of their money and fail to progress towards the American Dream. Fitzgerald argues that the modernist’s ambition towards a singular focused dream will lead to feelings of unfulfillment, though Capote counters that the modernists inability to find satisfaction within their life will allow opportunities to pass them by.
In the story, the people believe that they're being sent on a vacation. They think while they're gone that the Nazis are going to rob them of their things. Little do the Jews know they are not going to be returning to their homes but that they are going to be sent to a concentration camp where they will fight to survive. This is quite the opposite of their idea of a vacation.
In Sixteen Candles and The breakfast club we see so much in common as well as differences present. These 2 John Hughes movies were a big hit in the Directors career, as well as Pretty in Pink but we are not discussing that movie. In these movies we see a lot of themes crossed over that are explored in many different ways. One of the main characters for both these movies was Molly Ringwald; we really showed and expressed these ideals of her characters perfectly. There were many themes that we can compare and contrast these movies. The 4 main themes that I believe really made impacts on these shows are: rich vs. poor, popular or unpopular, changing to fit the ‘norm’, and Common similarities between social classes. Hughes is an amazing director that really captures these moments in each theme; he captures them and presents them at the most unexpected times in the movies that fit perfectly.

As a young adult, it is difficult to grow up without parents and still be tough and brave. In addition, teens can be emotional and overreact at times. In the novel The Outsiders, by S.E Hinton, a fourteen-year-old kid named Ponyboy Curtis feels different emotions that make him stand out from other Greasers, or “hoodlums”. Ponyboy, the youngest of all the Greasers, is a great example of a teen who feels isolated, brave, and emotional throughout the novel.
The movie takes place in the early 1990’s, when Jordan Belfort partners with Donny Azoff to start his brokerage firm, Stratford-Oakmont.

The Grand Budapest Hotel revolves around Europe of the 1930s and 1960s while it was in time of the war, through the adventures of The Grand Budapest Hotel's doorman Zero and the Hotel manager Gustave. The saga is linked to a burglar and a Renaissance painting, a great family's wealth war, and the sudden change of war in Europe. It reflects the vicissitudes of political history in Europe for half a century. This article will analyze The Grand Budapest Hotel from two aspects: artistic style and film theme.
The movie, The Breakfast Club, is a movie about five students who get Saturday school and become friends as a result of it. The characters were: Allison, the quiet girl who would sit in the back and refuse to talk; John, the troublemaker who always talked back to the teachers; Claire, the popular girl who always got what she wanted; Brian, the nerdy student who only cared about having good grades; Andrew, the wrestler who was only focused impressing his father. While watching the movie, I mainly related to Brian. He is pressured to have good grades by his parents and is labeled as the nerd because of it. I am also pressured to have good grades; however, I am labeled as the smart kid in many different classes, but I’m not classified as a nerd.
The Great Gatsby is a movie set in the 1920’s. The main character Nick Carraway lives next to the mysterious Jay Gatsby. Throughout the movie you experience the roaring 20’s first hand. They take you to the lavish countryside, through the struggling “valley of ashes”, into the bustling cites, and down into the bootlegging speakeasies. Gatsby is a secretive man and no one knows the truth about him. By the end of the film you find out his past and his secrets are revealed to us by Nick. Nick was like Gatsby’s best friend through the film. Nick was like a middle man between Gatsby and Daisy. Daisy Buchanan was a woman who lived, with her husband Tom, across the bay from Gatsby. Tom had been sleeping around behind Daisy’s back and nick was the only one who knew who it was although everyone suspected he was. Although there are many characters to follow the main one was Gatsby his life was the main purpose of the film.
The Movie that I choose to analyze was the movie The Wolf of Wall Street this movie is about a guy who is starting off his career wanting to earn money fast so he goes to Wall Street and works as a broker for a small firm, where he ends up picking up bad advice along with some bad habits that get him rich fast, but not in a very ethical way. Some of the main characters that I will be talking about in this essay are Jordan Belfort also referred to as Jordy, he is played by Leonardo DiCaprio, Donnie Azoff Played by Jonah Hill. There are many other characters in this movie, but these are the main characters that are faced with difficult dilemmas. A lot of the choices that are made in this movie are Unethical. Even though it seems that he does everything for greed you end up understanding the reasons he did those things, but even though they are done for the right reasons does not mean it is right.
Trainspotting presents an ostensible image of fractured society. The 1996 film opens, famously, with a series of postulated choicesvariables, essentially, in the delineation of identity and opposition. Significant here is the tone in which these options are deliveredit might be considered the rhetorical voice of society, a playful exposition of the pressure placed on individuals to make the "correct" choices, to conform to expectation.
To give a proper analysis of "The Grand Budapest Hotel", it is necessary to understand the several layers through which the story is told. The film begins with a monologue from the narrator (presumably in the present day) describing to the audience what it is to be a storyteller. He then proceeds to give an exact account of how he, a writer, came to meet and have dinner with an old gentleman named Zero Mustafa when he was staying at Grand Budapest during its "decline into shabbiness." The body of the film is then presented from Zero 's perspective during the course of an elaborate dinner, as he tells our narrator how he came to own the Grand Budapest. The storyteller seems to be an omnipotent paradigm of the film, and Wes Anderson seems to be encouraging people to tell the story of others. As stated by the narrator at the end of his opening monologue: "Of he who tells the story of many, many stories will be told." "The Grand Budapest Hotel" is the story of relationships; the relationship between Gustave and Zero, and the relationship between the Grand Budapest itself and the characters that inhabit it the relationship between storyteller and audience.
