Fred Rogers:
What do you do with the mad that you feel
When you feel so mad you could bite?
When the whole wide world seems oh, so wrong…
And nothing you do seems very right?
What do you do? Do you punch a bag?
Do you pound some clay or some dough?
Do you round up friends for a game of tag?
Or see how fast you go?

At the end of The Grand Budapest Hotel, decades after the central events, it is remarked of M. Gustave (Ralph Fiennes), the film’s exceedingly courtly and crafty concierge hero, that “his world had vanished long before he ever entered it.” On its surface, the movie has, up to this point, shown us how Gustave’s old-world manners and code of honor were destroyed by the rise of totalitarianism and twentieth-century political violence. Now, this touching line suggests that these values had perhaps disappeared even earlier, and Gustave was merely living in their ruins without quite realizing it.

One more thing I would say with regard to immigration generally: There exists on the subject a fatal miscomprehension. Unemployment is not decreased by restricting immigration. For unemployment depends on faulty distribution of work among those capable of work. Immigration increases consumption as much as it does demand on labor. Immigration strengthens not only the internal economy of a sparsely populated country, but also its defensive power.

People offering iced water while driving by in their car, families inviting him into their homes, workers downing tools to give him a tour of their workshop.
