The Grand Budapest Hotel (2014) - Movies with Mikey

[@terrymadeley]

"It's not about the ending, it's about reliving the middle, as often as you can." It's just all so sad. And beautiful. Beautiful because it's sad, sad because it's beautiful.

[@austinevans]

Watching the movie for the first time and immediately jumping into this was absolutely the right call. 👌 Killer job man.

[@TekGeekHD]

oh shit, its etkans

[@letsfindsomepeace9207]

Didn't expect you here

[@Joel-vq3ch]

"2016 youve been monster"*laughs in 2020*

[@maximekitza2084]

*cries in 2021* and then order a couple of catawampus t-shirts.

[@soaringaegis]

*Cackles in 2022*

[@invisibleshuffle]

Shudders in 2024. Remember when we thought that as bad as it was, it couldn't possibly get any worse?

[@samuelbarber6177]

This movie is amazing. It has to be one of the most aesthetically pleasing films I’ve ever seen. Every shot is like being confronted by some kind of ice cream dessert. Plus, this film is insane. A girl in 2014 reads a book written in 1985 about a guy visiting a hotel in 1968 where he was told this story that happened in 1932. Plus, it’s a man telling a story about how he was once told a story.

[@askewman37]

Goddamn, man, you made me cry while singing a One Direction song as a joke. How do you do that? Keep up the astounding work Mikey

[@filmjoy]

[m] I disguised a real thing as a joke. I knew no one would be expecting that. Cheers!

[@filmjoy]

[m] IF YOU LIKE CAUSING TROUBLE UP IN HOTEL ROOMS

[@crestonb5432]

Hey, you missed the death of the cat and willem dafoe, and the guy who got strangled in the church. There were four on screen deaths.

[@crestonb5432]

scratch that, there were five.

[@Glaucus08]

Creston Brown They are all shown dead or about to die, but the instant of death is off screen.

[@ALake98]

Chainsawsuit Original how do you vote for next episode?

[@mguin2104]

Chainsawsuit Original Maybe it was an ill-advised gag, but I love me a running gag, so FWIW I liked your One Direction spoofage. (I also was glad for your explanation - I don't know their work that well, having aged out of that demo). I vote you do you and improve as you see fit, but I hope you don't shorten your vids. I like the breezy 15 minute runtime. Looking forward to the lifeline of MwM 2017! #emmy

[@brianervin5065]

I am confident that I will be rewatching these beautiful works of passion until all art, love, and beauty is bought up by Google and Amazon and locked away forever. I love what you create, Mikey. Thank you for all the joy you’ve given me.

[@ryanyakus]

watching this for the first time from today, 2020. depressed that this is still necessary and grateful that it exists

[@ThePov4224]

... I legit almost cried at a video of grown many singing an one direction song badly into an autotuner. God bless you Mikey.

[@chrisellis4979]

That ending. Got me right in the feels. Thanks, Mikey.

[@LJLvids]

I''ll be honest, this video in itself was a masterpiece. and even if it was 2 hours long (which I know is almost impossible) i'd still watch the whole thing even if it is in chuncks, too me it doesn't matter what the averge watch time is i'll still take my time and watch it all, I know statistics like that probably matter too you because reasons I as a non-content creator can't begin to comprehend, I still hope that you are able to make this show the way YOU want it, no matter what the audience indirectly wants you to do. That is my 2017 wish too you; that you are able to make your art, the way you want. And that people because/inspite of that will watch it too the very end. Happy New Year - a fan

[@OAMsouth]

Mikey, I say I love your videos every time I comment, but I truly believe in constant expressions of affections because there is no way of alwaying knowing when someone will need encouragement, so I just constantly throw it out there. I love your videos. This was funny, insightful, and creative, as an analysis video should be. You don't go half-way on your work, you put your everything into it and it really shows. Also, the use of "Duel of the Fates" was absolutely historical. Also also, as an aspiring film maker/critic, your work is truly inspiring and influential to me. Your videos help me to peer beyond the obvious and look deep into everything that goes into a movie.

[@theomccann8047]

Thank you for the last bit at the end. I needed it today.

[@DoeJam13]

That clip of you dancing was so adorable, that was a good send off to 2016.

[@ZombieFood1337]

2017 has been a crap year so far. It's to the point where your little dance number a closing message almost made me cry, but it also made me smile. I really needed that right now, so thank you.

[@-MrFozzy-]

16:16.....I just used this with my girlfriend who has been going through stuff, I tried everything before and nothing worked....once I saw this I thought it was perfect, and it finally got her to let me in...thank you so much

[@johnburke1214]

Dude. I'm literally going through the channel today. I'm looking, it's 2 weeks, no video. I was sad, went out go drunk and now I am happy. Thanks Mikey!

[@mitchellwarr1372]

please don't shorten your videos!!

[@ErikGunnarDahlin]

Love the video, just want to point out that 4:3 aspect ratio was the standard for movies during the silent era not only for old TV. It's another way for the movie to show time frame and the theme of nostalgia that is so strong in the movie. Keep up the excellent work!

[@thehopeofeden597]

It's about to be 2019, and with some small exception it just feels like that same tired grieving feeling since 2016 has been following me. Has been following everyone. I needed this.

[@alexstrine2123]

Long time subscriber, first time commenter here. I personally love your style and how different it is from other video essays on KZbin. A lot of them feel "sterile", like they're trying to get to the point in the clearest and briefest way possible, while I feel like yours have a lot more of a personal touch. I see that some people bag on you for the joke interruptions, but I think that's what makes you stand out (apart from consistently analyzing things very differently than anywhere else online and standing by your opinions, ala TDK and Interstellar). It feels more like a conversation I'm having with a friend. It feels more like Movies WITH Mikey than Mikey talking about movies. Keep it up in 2017, we can do this!

[@David_Diaz713]

You gave a One Direction song emotional value. 👌 Happy New Year's.

[@nicholasromig5506]

for the second time (the end of Iron Giant) one of this skinny bastard's videos made me cry.

[@thedreamingcelestial8627]

I love you Mikey (this was going to be my comment, even before i got to the segment with the song). Thank you so much for shining a light of hope in this dark and desparate world. Your work means so much to me!

[@angeladunnangiedraws]

Now I'm in tears THANKS, MIKEY. This was beautiful. Your videos are great. I'm late to the party that is your videos, but I love them anyway.

[@thinman25]

This guy... is un-fuckin'-believable. I got my subscription to Mikey, bring it on 2017.

[@smilejenkins]

Ive been binging your stuff for the past week now. I love your stuff man. Your personality portrayed in video, your pace, your editing style, the music. Really Mikey, keep it up, lets get you to the emmys. (Also I watch them fully not 5:32 minutes:D)

[@RPeterson2088]

I realize this is from nearly two years ago, but thank you so much for that ending. I'm still having a hard time getting over 2016 and seeing your message of hope (even if it did come after the heartbreaking deluge of all the people we lost that year) really meant something to me. Thank you.

[@JonRisinger]

Should have just reviewed Wes Anderson's H&M ad instead.

[@filmjoy]

+Jon Risinger [m] Every time! You do this every time!

[@MrAkabane1]

As a Rooster Teeth fan and a fan of yours, your friendship with Jon is what keeps me living.

[@JamesQPurcell]

I always watch to the end for the snap of the outro music. AH!

[@MichaelScollo]

Thanks Mikey cheered me up and made my night. 2017 we got this.

[@jenniferwolff4838]

We love you too Mikey. And I needed that. That ending. Dancing Mikey always makes me smile.

[@MrZabersuv]

i always watch all your videos till the end because their that good happy new year brotha dont change for anyone but yourself

[@TheBoomamatic]

Thanks Mikey for this show, it really pulled 2016 together, weaving your positivity and love into this show makes it twice the experience for me. It was probably the toughest year for me in my short life so far, and having your show remind me to smile but also be critical helped me through it :) So thankyou Mikeyboy for making this show, for teaching me to see not only films in a different way, a more positive and uplifting way but also to my everyday life. Hope to see your show grow in 2017, best of luck. And thanks. also seeing your name pop up when i finished borderlands was the coolest thing ever.

[@suzanneredding265]

From the 15 minute mark on is PURE 24K GOLD FROM THE HEART OF A GOLD STAR IN A GOLD GALAXY. Watch repeatedly for maximum joy!

[@nicholasromig5506]

You don't know what your little tribute at the end meant to me right now. Thank you. I'm gonna have to watch this movie a second time.

[@schmiddy1473]

It’s been a while since I binged your videos. You were an absolute staple in my formative years. Lot of love for how you impacted those times. Love 🧡

[@Thiefree]

I teared up. Mikey, you've been one of the good things about 2016. Thank you for this video, for the work you do, for who you are. I love you.

[@awesomevideos32]

I always come back to this video for the last 5 minutes cause it gives me hope

[@awesomevideos32]

I'm back again :) junior year of hs is terrible and this video helps for some reason

[@awesomevideos32]

im back again, junior year of hs has gotten worse than before ffs

[@r.coburn3344]

Mikey, I watched this video for maybe the 3rd or 4th time today. I want to let you know that right now is probably the hardest time in my adult life, which is really saying a lot. The outro that you did for this video is a great comfort to me. I deeply appreciate it, and I hope that you and all the other folks from filmjoy have peace in your lives.

[@unknownunknown-lf5qq]

Who the hell doesn't want longer movies with mikey?! I personally could listen to you talk about ANY film! All the time. You're awesome.

[@unknownunknown-lf5qq]

Also you so do deserve an emmy

[@SatireNGiggles]

you have one of the most underated channel on KZbin. Everyone of your review are well edited and extremely concise. You sure deserve a nomination to the emmys haha !

[@Funkymuffins123XP]

"thank you the emmys for my the emmy" i cracked up irl

[@zacharypowell7858]

the spiciest taco I think Mikey deserves all the "the Emmys"

[@sharonpenny3076]

Also "But did you knoooooow" makes me laugh every. single. goddamn. time.

[@NunoAboim27]

Once again, a compelling and insightful episode that helped me to appreciate even more this masterpiece called "Grand Budapest Hotel". Thank you again Mikey and you have my vote for an Emmy any time of the day brother.

[@MrGreed2000]

I cant believe this only has 47,000 views, that's a damn shame Cant wait to see you make it big Keep up the good work

[@carsonbarnes1834]

I watched this movie for the first time last night. And I fear it may be life-changing. I wish this video lasted forever. Incredible content, I'm sorry I'm a few years late.

[@fatcoyote2]

Well. This channel is rapidly becoming one of my favorites.

[@lynninpain]

I would gladly watch a 247 minute deep dive into Grand Budapest Hotel by this channel.

[@alexsmalley9993]

5 minutes average watch is ridiculous, i don't think i have ever stopped one of your videos before the end. You're one of my favorite film essayists.

[@SmidgenKnight]

Geebus, I love every one of these MWMs. I'm glad I found them this year. Thanks for all of them.

[@sparithgaming6432]

The ending to this episode had me laughing, feeling sad and smiling. Thank you for the 16 minutes of entertainment. Keep up the amazing work!

[@steelstringd2018]

What a way to end 2016. Thank you for making movies even better Mikey!

[@jball4973]

I don't always care for the movies you breakdown, but I always learn from your commentary. I also really needed to hear your cover of that song, it's a good message of hope. Thank you for making good videos.

[@Daszkal]

i found this channel this morning and I love it so much I've watched 8 of these at work. Mikey, you're my favorite :)

[@sngore1]

New to your show. Watched "Get Off The Floor" then watched this episode and now I am all tears. I love your content and your drive.

[@caseybennett4791]

Amazing. Thank you sir. There are no KZbin videos that are as educational, humorous and emotional as yours.

[@digerttm]

I really noticed how major details like the hotels ultimate demolition and everybody's deaths are shoved in the margins of this movie like footnotes. Really adds to the sense of 'living in the middle'

[@casir.7407]

best episode yet, with one of my favorite movies of all time. thank you so much, and happy new year.

[@BenjaminJex]

Mikey you always make me smile. This was the last movie I saw with my grandmother before she died, so thanks for bringing it up in such an intelligent way. Let's hope 2017 isn't TOO bad, and that regardless we manage to make the best of it anyways. 🤓

[@six65532one]

Aaaaaaand now I'm crying, thank you, really though, thank you

[@saturten]

I really enjoyed The Grand Budapest Hotel but did not appreciate it's depth or any of the choices Anderson made the first time I saw it. I will definitely have to rewatch it now, excellent video, please keep making these!

[@tardisdisco]

Dude, seriously, thank you for this video! It touched my heart in more then one way. Well done sir!

[@treianna]

Fantastic analysis, fantastic dance moves, and dammit I'm crying after that excellent ending. Now off to watch the film again.

[@wisemoon40]

2016 was The Year of Killing My Idols. The year the orange fascist took over our country. We lost so many great people that year. And four years later...we were making jokes about crossing disasters and horrifying news headlines off our bingo cards because life had become indistinguishable from both satire and horror. Your work is some of the stuff that kept me from despair. So thank you very much for your work, and may you continue to be able to make it.

[@Dorweaver]

One more clean hit out of the park. I've been diving into your library of past episodes (so I might be driving your average watch time up a tad) and it is interesting to see your style mature, evolve, and yet the original material is still interesting. Your comments on the happiness of Zero in that one fleeting moment reminds me strongly of the "Myth of Sisyphus" by Camus. Our whole life is a struggle, but if it is the struggle we chose, then we can be happy, no matter how demeaning to someone else our task is, how repetitive or senseless. There is greatness in you.

[@Ryder335588]

Beautiful and awesome as always Mikey. Don't worry about the 5 minute average, make the videos as long as they need to be to tell your story and we'll watch them. Happy new year.

[@Dao4deuce]

Loved the how you used the muted Requiem For A Dream score behind the ending sequence before the other emding sequence. Brill!

[@atomicfox00]

I heard this song for the first time in earnest at lunch today and couldn't help but think of this video and feeling happy.

[@ThatJerkRMED]

Well, I didn't think I would ever have a viscerally positive reaction to a One Direction song, but I was happy to be proven wrong. Thanks for that ending, Mikey. I needed that.

[@awesomevideos32]

Every week or so I come back to this video just for the philosophy at the end and the sad yet joyful hope of the ending song

[@danthetuneman]

Love, "Movies with Mikey"! I look forward to it each month.

[@ChaosNexus]

Cheers, Mikey. Thanks for making 2016 a bit brighter (since I found the show this year). Looking forward to you kicking more ass in 2017 (and beyond).

[@bryanmurdoch717]

Incredible work here as always! And make these babies as long or as short as you like, your audience is with you!

[@RitchieChavez]

I'm not even a Wes Anderson fan but I watched the video anyways because I love you style of delivery and humor (BUT DID YOU KNOW cracks me up every time.)

[@sxblck]

Everyone keeps talking about how the last five minutes almost makes them cry. Well I cried. I cry every damn time I come back to see it. Yet I still come back.

[@sxblck]

2023. Still here.

[@elow234555]

The Grand Budapest is by far my favorite movie and I just wanted to say that you did it justice!

[@juliemercer8892]

Cool, I just watched this movie for the first time last night on New Year's Eve and then searched this up today. Nice video!

[@scottgoblue]

I love you, Mikey. Thank you for everything you do.

[@MrScripted]

thank you for putting into words everything I have ever thought about this movie better than I ever could. this is validating in only the most intimate and refreshing of ways.

[@JimBeezie]

Can't tell is title of this video is joke I'm not getting or mistake. Either way thanks for another enthralling video! I am literally moved to tears by most of your videos.

[@rowandunning6877]

you deserve like...so many more subscribers, your content is amazing

[@apollion888]

So I'm watching and enjoying this and suddenly "But did you knooooooow" comes on and I exclaim "Oh, it's THAT guy!" Thanks for the big smile :-)

[@XedRegelus]

Thanks, Mikey. I needed that ending. :)

[@Ularg7070]

I don't understand how anyone can only watch 5 minutes of your videos instead of the whole thing unless it's counting repeat viewings where people are skipping around looking for a specific part.

[@grahamball3596]

Wow, I just found your channel and I love it! Please keep making these! You take my favorite films and explain to me why I love them so much. And then you make me watch them again

[@nerdherdsman]

I'm glad I watched the film before watching this review, this is definitely helpful in preparing me for a second watch. Also, I just wanted to say, I for one would appreciate longer videos, because I find your writing and insights entertaining and informative. Because the editing in these videos seems complex and I wouldn't want you to work yourself too hard, I understand that this length is ideal. Thank you for these videos, they have been very enjoyable to watch. Despite only having been a viewer since Miles Luna recommended your Dark Knight video, many of your videos have become instant recommendations of my own, whenever a movie you have covered has come up.

[@dangruzman51]

Absolutely amazing episode! This is the show that actually made me start reaching for the like button, never mind that it's for every single episode you make. Keep it up!

[@ammie341]

I know this is an older video but I’m relatively new to your channel. Just wanted to say THANKS. And I love you too ❤️ I’m late but whatever, this still made me happy. Might have even made my year man.

[@abrarrazee4465]

glad to have discovered this channel

[@englebre21]

A "thumbs up" is not enough - but I don't know how to write out the kind of applause that comes forcefully, from the heart. I guess this is why people use that gif so much.

[@Gravitynaut]

This movie is so perfect. You did it justice man. Kudos.

[@ianterada6821]

If you doubled the length of this video, I'd still have watched the whole thing. Love your work!

[@ianterada6821]

And I HAVE been waiting for this song.

[@TimdeVisser86]

Jeez Mike. way to swing for the fences. Never thought I'd think of a web comedy show on KZbin 'award-worthy', but honestly, here we are.

[@mr.hudson3207]

Just found this...loved it. I'm subscribing. Hope your videos are always this entertaining, funny, and insightful.

[@cobalt49]

Love you too Mikey. Thanks for all your hard work.

[@jackfriedman6527]

Thanks for this -- as always, Movies with Mikey is almost the only thing that will motivate me to write a comment on youtube. Given the way you approach "The Grand Budapest," I treat it as an interesting exercise to imagine how you would approach something like "Fanny and Alexander" (esp. speaking of "frames" and "narrators") ... Just something to imagine that won't happen but would be interesting if it did happen ... (like Orson Welles' "Heart of Darkness" ...)

[@boostedhobbit]

I bow to your awesomeness, Sir.

[@MrDynasty7]

another fantastic video. I hope you get the popularity you deserve.

[@MrEasymac5]

Once again, just awesome work. Keep it up! I always look forward to watching your videos
