My wife and I love the Grand Budapest Hotel (GBH).
Funny story:
We buy Blu-Ray discs but never watch them on our Bly-Ray player (in fact we just gave it away), rather I rip the movie (Make MKV then Handbrake) into a high quality MP4 then we play it in iTunes. No annoying previews or wait times for the Blu-Ray to boot-up, nor menus to wade through...
GBH changes from 2.23:1 to 9:6 to 4:3 as the timeline goes back in time then reverses the process.
The conversion software was completely flummoxed and just ripped the film to 4:3.
Had to buy it a second time via iTunes.
A great movie!
If somebody in the 1960s had written a treatment for a movie set in 2015 wherein a popular black leader called for an ‘Emergency Meeting of the Diversity Task Force’, he would have been laughed out of every studio in town.
