Wes Anderson pays homage to Austrian writer Stephan Zweig in his film "The Grand Budapest Hotel". Anderson shares similarities with the use of color, the humor, and the pace.
I always enjoy Wes Anderson's films, some may find him a tad boring, but I find his work quirky and colorful. It just has that classic humor that you can't find in most films today. It had the very dream life essence that Zweig's writing brought to the table. Wes Anderson said in an interview about Zweig "So much of his work is written from the point of view of someone who’s quite innocent and is entering into kind of darker territories" and that was a sort of essence Wes Anderson wanted and succeeded at. I didn't connect with the characters because they were sort of "out there", but I did enjoy it because they were so different.
