Day 31 my.my.my.my...my stay at the budapest

Day 31
Careful for spoilers
Stories within stories within stories the Grand budapest hotel deterred me with this idea. While it drew me in with the dialogue it annoyed me that I didnt know which story I was listening too.
So im expected to believe, and follow, that a indian looking boy lobby boy becomes a clearly white old man, who tells a story to middle aged british man in the 60s, who then wants to tell a camera? In the 1980s? where then a girl mourns his death in the modern day? Like really I was lost who to follow. But not on what events that were being presented to me.
Also Wes anderson sure loves himself some edward  norton can you say depp-burton?
I was entertained by the funeral scene where one great dialogue by jeff goldblum then fun slapstick punching by every main character so far. All becuz of some painting.
Side note. Look at the lobby boys love interest. Am I the only one who thinks that scar looks like mexico?
So when gustav goes to jail he undoubtedly tries to escape. When he does it once again is comical. I am not a fan of wes anderson's directing style but the budapest did keep my attention.
The calling of every hotel and then the lobby boys taking over! Ha! Becuz it us that easy!
Willem freakin defoe can scare the crap out of anyone without doing anything. Even bill freakin murray sneaks his way into this movie. The hat trick! Owen Wilson
My overall.opinion of wes anderson has not been changed. But I do see a shred of light in the dark tunnel. He can make an entertaining movie! Just let someone else hold the camera....
Final verdict: 6/10 a fine movie with few flaws. I dont believe I will see it again unless it is to find out which story I am supposed to have followed the whole time.
There were good costumes and idk how to say this.... good making all clues obvious? You will know what I mean when you see the film. I recommend you watch it as a mid sundays movie when football isn't on.
Random recommendations: harry potter 4-8, zombieland, spiderman, the incredible hulk, birdman, independence day
