"Million Dollar Hotel" is a more recent work by Wim Wenders (2000). It seems that I didn't get any important awards. The reason why I have to look for it is because I heard that the music in it was produced by U2.

Whether it is Million Dollar Hotel or Million Dollar Hotel, no matter which language it is in, it is a very romantic word. The "Million Dollar Hotel" of Wim Wenders is not the million dollar hotel you think. This million dollar hotel is a very shabby, sloppy, low-cost apartment, full of decay, decadence and depravity. It is full of the bottom and margins of society. Characters: mentally retarded, prostitute, tramp, failed artist, neurosis, etc.

You can still call the "Million Dollar Hotel" a very romantic film, depending on the definition of "romance". I once bought a book called "Romanticism", which inspired me a lot. It turns out that "Romanticism" in Western art is not at all in Chinese, but refers to "strong emotional experience." It is the "extreme exploration, experience and expression of the human soul in the field of art and knowledge." No wonder they called the French Revolution "Romanticism." Do you remember the illustration of the French Revolution in the previous history textbook? Drakvak's "Revolution Leads the People" is the "Romanticism" in painting.

Back to the Million Dollar Hotel, a murder case occurred here. The police officer played by Mel Gibson came to investigate (actually this role is not important in this film, because this film does not explore the truth of the murder case), so it happened. There are many things, including a romantic, pure and absolute love between a young mentally retarded person and a young prostitute, which reminds people of the couple in "New Bridge Lovers" who are also lovers on the margins of society.

"Million Dollar Hotel" is the same place name as "Texas Paris". The difference is that Wim Wenders did not wander on the road looking for lost this time. This time, we only stayed in the "Million Dollar Hotel". However, This is not the end of the wandering in the Wim Wenders movie, and how can the wandering searching for lost in this house be less than the journey of thousands of miles across Texas?

Also: I've seen a lot of shots of jumping off a building in the movie, but none of them are so beautiful.
Another: Is rock romanticism? Absolutely.
