Despite fear, the risk of arrest, and the risk of dying for helping other people Raoul Wallenberg saved upwards of a hundred thousand Jewish lives from Nazis in Budapest, Hungary, earning the title “Angel of Budapest”. Wallenberg’s selfless actions defined him as an individual, not his noble, wealthy family’s actions. Without the work of Raoul Wallenberg about one hundred thousand lives would have ended in the Holocaust. Raoul Wallenberg was born August 4, 1912, to two wealthy families from Stockholm

The movie, The Grand Budapest Hotel, is a typical Wes Anderson film in regards to his vibrant color palettes, the symmetry in his scenes and the recurrent themes seen throughout the story. The Grand Budapest Hotel is a bit peculiar because an argument can be made for and against the film following the stereotypical three act structure. For example, throughout the film Anderson titles the transitions between scenes as ‘parts’ of which there are five. These ‘five parts’ would be the main argument

Thus the new world of our adventure has not been lost to time but rather created by the lost timeˌ through a chain of nostalgic
Wes Anderson’s The Grand Budapest Hotel (2014) uses the human figure of Monsieur Gustave (Ralph Fiennes) and his pattern of behavior within the mise-en-scene of the film to show that acts of kindness drive the plot of the film forward in order to illustrate the power of kindness and the positive results that it can have on our lives.

was one of many that helped hide Jews during the holocaust, and or helped Jewish people escape the holocaust horrors, proving that he is an upstander of the holocaust. Wallenberg decided to help many people for the couple of years that he was in Budapest. Raoul Gustav Wallenberg would be remembered for something like this until the day that he died. Raoul’s bravery, kindness, help, and support towards the Jewish people showed that he cared enough to help them when he could have stayed in Sweden and
The Grand Budapest Hotel, created by Wes Anderson and released in spring of 2014, was in my opinion one of Anderson’s best films yet. For me director and writer Wes Anderson has been a developed taste. Something that was introduced and become fond of over this class period. This film has joined the list of brilliant filmmaking along with "Fantastic Mr. Fox" (2009) and "Moonrise Kingdom" (2012). Some of the main points that make The Grand Budapest Hotel the great work that it is the genre, editing

On March 19, 1944, Nazi Germany invaded and occupied Hungary making life for Hungarian Jews more difficult than it was.

In Budapest at that time others around him were also seeking a solution to the DC inefficiency, and the possibility of an AC motor and the rotational effects associated with alternating currents had graced many scientists’ minds. But no one had succeeded in making a functional motor. In fact, it was thought of with the same speculation as building a perpetual motion machine; not even Tesla could hope to achieve such a feat.

In 2014, one of my preferred best picture contenders was “The Grand Budapest Hotel” from Wes Anderson. It was my introduction to his work, and I was excited and intrigued to see more from him after that viewing. I returned to the Wes Anderson well by watching 2004’s “The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou,” often considered one of his lesser efforts. While definitely less enjoyable than “The Grand Budapest Hotel,” it is not a dud. This film focuses on the titular oceanographer/documentarian (Bill Murray)
