The interview takes on a whole new meaning knowing Zero asking about lighting the candle got him the job by showing his main concern was for the guests and well being of the hotel.
The way Gustavo is shocked and says "WHat?!," Then immediately "no" is the tell. I think it's the only time you see Gustavo get shocked. I agree. I think that's what gave him the job.
I think the part where Gustave gets most impressed was Zero saying that the Grand Budapest was an institution. Zero must have been one of the few who saw being a lobby boy as more than a job. The candle scene is an indication that Gustave's care for his 'friends' is, to some degree, superficial. Also, it sets up Gustave's shock at the lady's death. If Gustave had lit the candle, maybe the old lady would not have died.
He doesn't give a shit about the candle. The "what" is supposed to indicate that Gustave had completely forgotten about it. As someone mentioned below, we're supposed to constantly question how Gustave really feels about his position. Is he a conman? Yes, he technically obeys the wishes of Madame D, but he sends an errand boy instead of doing it himself, and he knows the exact cheapest candle to buy and how much personal comfort he can grift out of the exchange. It's like when he compliments her corpse for changing the nail polish, a tender gesture, and then abruptly tosses away her hand in contempt and asks her servant for a drink (chilled, no ice please).
NintenJen for nomination yes , but for oscar maybe , because there was eddie redmayne that playing stephen hawking that really deserve an oscar , that's my opinion.
Ralph Fiennes and Tony Revolori were totally ROBBED at the Oscars. Neither was nominated! Huh? Seriously??? They were beyond awesome and had fabulous chemistry.

Some of us were denied the opportunity or had a hard time of it. In 1996 my elementary school told my mom "not to bother educating a native" and TRIED to reject the enrollment (I'm Native American, Qawiaraq-Inupiat) but she persisted and had the very good luck of being a courthouse employee. I was very lucky. The moment I REALIZED what had almost happened to me I dedicated myself to getting straight "A"s, even into the measly 2 semesters of college I could afford. (No, natives do not get free college.)

Motorboat Mygoat Gustave had promised Madame D. that he'd light a candle at church for her right after she left. He was going to send Zero to do it instead of going himself, but then abandoned the idea altogether once he started Zero's interview.

You're right. It's the one thing I neglected to mention in my comment, that it was indeed, perfect in its entirety. Acting, cinematography, dialog. A rare film.
In my opinion, This film was ten times entertaining than Birdman. I shall never come to understand how this film did not receive the acclaim it deserved.

This is one of those movies that I start watching just a bit of every now and then... but find myself unable to stop until I've rewatched the whole thing, again.
I first watched this movie when I was 19 homeless, hungry, and couch surfing. This movie made me forget how dire my bleak situation was. That and britpop
@@cosmobane6995 i just turned 24. Have an apartment in LA, a little dog, and my guitar. Ain’t dead yet. So I’d say I’m doing a whole lot better. Appreciate you asking 🌼
Yep, that's right. If you call my name, no matter where I am currently at, I will hear you and come to your aid from a window frame high above..... Right smack dab in the middle. Always.
Probably not, unfortunately. If you pay attention, there's a bit of dollhouse quality to the shots in a Wes Anderson film due to the static, front-facing camera angles. To have a theme park would mean dynamic visual angles, and therefore ruin the effect.
It can be implied that the position of a ''lobby boy'' is held in serious regard by Gustave, for the boy is going to be raised as his pupil and maybe successor. His friends at ''the society of the crossed keys'' have this same habit of carefully bringing up their lobby boys and putting their trusts in them. That's why you can see Gustave treating this interview very seriously.
Monsieur Gustave is impeccably written. There's a wisdom in realizing that 'nothing' is a whole lot easier to mold than something. Zero cinched the job at the family question, although he didn't realize it. There's an undeniable dignity imbued within a person who works their way up from nothing. I really enjoy Gustave later when he's in a fist fight sticking up for his immigrant employee on the train.
For those confused why neither got an Oscar nomination its simple. The studio didn't have the means or budget to "camping" the film around to the academy voters. And if you think this is unfair then how come i don't hear you complain about who didn't get the well deserved "party" nomination for the dem/rep parties because they didn't have the proper "Means and funds" to run a good camping. Its life people. Just accept it. The Oscars are just like any election, which ever studio spends the most money, wins the Oscar.

Why Ralph Fiennes didn’t get an Oscar (or even a nomination) for his performance is beyond me. He’s amazing.

I couldn't agree more. It seems the Academy doesn't like comedies.
Flavio Sousa Even though the movie got nine nominations including best picture, director and screenplay? I'm respectfully disagreeing.
Well, I think it's fair to say that the Academy doesn't think much of comedic performances, would you not agree?
yeah, sadly, i think you're right. bummer.
It was an incredibly tight race for Best Actor that year, though I still think thatthe BAFTA's had the correct line-up for Best Actor that year.
Gustave: Why do you want to be a lobby boy?
Zero: Who wouldn't, at the Grand Budapest, sir? It's an institution.

I don't think so Grand budapest is without question Wes Anderson's magnum opus
"Uh.. perhaps..yeah".. Ralph Fiennes is incredible in this
