Non-linear narrative was originally Quentin's development. One of his vulgar novels has opened people's eyes. The more famous one is Gayrich's two big smoke guns. Ning Hao's Crazy Stone is based on two big smokes. gun. What I want to share with you today is the recent new movie The Royal Hotel Murder. It was originally directed at Brother Hammer, but it turned out that Brother Hammer is not the leading actor, but after watching the whole movie, I was not disappointed, but returned. good.
At the beginning of the film, a person put a bag under the floor of the hotel, and then he was killed. Then ten years later, several of our protagonists checked in at the Royal Hotel, which is featured in Nevada and California This is the selling point of their hotel.
Next, I use a few shots to introduce the people who stayed in, an elderly priest Daniel Flynn, a salesman talking about tuberculosis vacuum cleaners, a persuaded hotel attendant and bartender and manager Mills, a black female singer Darlene, and a dazzle. Cool hippie girl Amy, the next movie enters the chapter mode. The first thing is room 1, the room where our salesman lives. As soon as I walk in, I start to call family members. They are completely two people outside. He was extremely gentle to his wife and daughter, but his next move made you wonder if the current salesman’s skill tree had so many points?
He opened the phone, found the bug, and then found a dozen or so bugs in the room.
I have to feel that life is so difficult now. Not only do I have to worry about hygiene when staying in a hotel, but I also have to worry about the leakage of my privacy at all times. Seeing this, we can't help thinking, who is this salesman? It is impossible for ordinary people to find out the bug in the room as soon as they enter the hotel. Then he became suspicious of the mirror in the room, and then went out to investigate and discovered the New World. The mirrors in all the rooms in this hotel had double-sided mirrors. He saw the priest digging the floor and Darlene practicing the song. Amy kidnapped a little girl, and a video camera was recording things in the room.
At this time, he went out and made a call. We learned his true identity, Agent Brodback. He came here to investigate a case. After reporting the progress, the boss asked him to leave all the people in the hotel there, so He did something to everyone's cars. He reported that a little girl had been kidnapped, but the boss told him to leave it alone. The justice in his heart did not allow him to turn a blind eye.
During this period, he introduced Darlene's background through interspersed memories. An unwilling singer. The priest said that Darlene’s singing was very good, so he invited Darlene to eat in the lobby. After arriving in the lobby, the priest kept inviting Darlene. Drinking, Darlene didn’t turn away and said that he only had a drink. We found that the priest was drugging the wine. Darlene responded in this way.
I said that I looked bewildered, why Darlene suddenly made a move. This is when the camera turned back to the agent. He rushed in to rescue the kidnapped little girl, but our audience was from God’s perspective. We knew that the little girl and Amy were sisters, but the agent didn’t know, so he took it. Box lunch. . . At first I thought this agent was the protagonist, but the director did not follow the routine.
They smashed the glass with one shot and found the corridor behind. This was turned back to the priest again. The waiter woke him up and said that he wanted to confess to him, so he took him to see the double-sided mirror and the corridor. It turned out that Mills had a seal and asked him to live in certain people. The behavior of the hotel was photographed, and then they saw the scene of the agent breaking in. Mills was shot to the ground because he was behind the window. The story lines between the characters began to converge here. You can’t see here. I don't admire the idea of the director and screenwriter.
Next, this scene was shown from Darlene’s perspective. Darlene ran in and took the agent’s gun. The priest also ran into her car at this time, explaining the whole story. The priest is a fake. He is a freshman. The prisoner came here to look for the money he had hidden before. Because he had Alzheimer’s disease, I couldn’t remember which room he was in. Later, I found out if my room was available. At that time, I wanted to stun Darlene and go to her. Looking in the room, Darlene didn't believe it at first, but the priest asked her to divide her half of the money, and she agreed. Greed is the original sin of human beings.
At this time we found that Mills was not dead, but was shot in the face. Amy began to ask the truth about all this, and Darlene also found the money with the priest and prepared to leave. Our Hammer came out coquettishly in the rain. Come and feel the coquettish posture of Brother Hammer.
At this time, the film enters the last chapter of Billy Lee. We only know that Brother Hammer is a cult leader. Amy's sister was completely brainwashed and deceived. Amy abducted her to prevent her sister from being addicted, but Brother Hammer brought someone to find him, of course this was due to her sister's whistleblowing, Teammate Pig.
Brother Hammer brought a bunch of people to control everyone, and he gave Amy a gun when he came up. The director didn't follow the routine at all. In the end, someone who thought he was bronze but was indeed the king killed the audience. As for who it is, I won’t reveal it. You can watch it in the movie yourself.
Looking at it as a whole, there are endless surprises and continuous doubts, but in the end the director still filled in the pits he dug, so it is very cool to see, but it will not fail to understand. In general, it is worth seeing , You will not be disappointed.
