Hotel background:
The once glorious casino hotel, from the various celebrity photos on the wall and the various exquisite play facilities still remaining, you can also get a glimpse of the hustle and bustle of this hotel. Only because of the cancellation of the casino's business license, the hotel is in decline.
However, the hotel is a gambling hotel on the surface, but secretly it is an erotic hotel that uses voyeurs or even sneak shots of guests’ erotic lives and uses them.
The guy at the counter is the one who used to handle this business.
Character background (in order of appearance):
Black female singer-does have a great voice, but because she refuses the unspoken rules and cannot become a star, she runs for a living.
The priest-the real identity is a robber ten years ago. He and his brother robbed a cash transport vehicle. When they escaped, they were divided into two groups and agreed to meet at the Royal Hotel. The priest was later arrested, imprisoned for ten years, and suffered from Alzheimer's disease. The priest's brother hid the money in Room 5 of the Royal Hotel (the room where the female singer lived), and was killed by a later coupler. After being released from prison, the priest pretended to be a priest and came to this hotel to get his money back.
Vacuum cleaner salesman-the real identity is an FBI agent, in order to get back the secret videotape of the "big man" and sneak into the hotel.
Sister Flower: The information given is the least clear. It should be that the sisters have a father who has domestic violence. The older sister will protect her every time, but the younger sister kills the father in the end, and the older sister flees with the younger sister. On the way to flee, the younger sister was tempted by the cult leader and joined the cult. She was so devoted to the cult leader. The older sister had no choice but to join the cult, but she fainted and brought her out when she had the opportunity.
Cult leader-received a call from his sister and brought his men to the Royal Hotel.
Counter guy: From the time background of the story, he should have participated in the Vietnam War. He was a sharpshooter. After retiring, he worked as a waiter at the Royal Hotel. The work behind the scenes is to observe the guest rooms and record the corresponding information according to the instructions above. Videotape.
timeline:
First paragraph:
In order to get the money hidden by the younger brother in the female singer’s room, the false priest invited the female singer out to eat and tried to give her a chance to enter her room. The female singer found out and was knocked unconscious.
At the same time, FBI agents discovered the secrets of the hotel and the kidnapped girl, and reported to his superiors, who asked him not to be nosy, and it was important to look for video tapes.
Second paragraph:
The boy at the counter met the false priest who passed out and woke him up and said he wanted to confess to him. So he showed him the structure of the hotel and told him the location of the "big man" video tape. Then the boy at the counter was there. Behind the mirror of the sisters Hua looked at the movement in their room, and the priest looked for the video tape in the little brother's room.
FBI agents destroyed all the cars and waited for the opportunity to break into the sisters’ room to rescue the kidnapped girl.
The female singer saw the FBI agent sabotage the car in the hotel yard and saw him break into the sister's room in the car.
The story ends when my sister shot and killed the FBI agent standing in front of the mirror and injured the little brother at the counter behind the mirror.
The third paragraph:
The sister jumped behind the mirror to check the situation. The sister used the phone in the room to secretly inform the cult leader of her position. Then the sisters tied the counter brother to the hotel lobby and interrogated him.
While the sisters were not in the room, the female singer broke into the sisters' room, found the car accessories and his gun that he had taken from the FBI agent, and returned to her car.
The false priest went around to the yard and found the female singer in the car, and persuaded her to go back to the room together to get the money.
Fourth paragraph:
My sister hopes to find the other people in the hotel-the priest and the female singer, and kill them to eliminate their troubles. She didn't find anyone in the priest's room and came behind the female singer's mirror.
In the female singer's room, the false priest looked for the money that his brother had hidden under the floor under the cover of things.
The female singer sang and tapped her hands to cover up the movement of the false priest.
After hearing the singing of the female singer, the elder sister was hesitant to kill the female singer, went back to the lobby and asked the little brother at the counter where his priest was.
Before the elder sister went back, the younger sister told the counter-boy that whether he died or not was not decided by herself or her elder sister.
The fifth paragraph:
The female singer and the fake priest took the money and prepared to leave, and the cult leader led his men to tie up everyone—the sister, the counter boy, the female singer, and the fake priest.
In the first round of the turntable game, the players are the older sister and the counter boy. The older sister loses and is killed by the cult leader.
The false priest launched a counterattack when the cult leader was spiritually educated by the female singer. The little brother at the counter took up the gun with the encouragement of the female singer and completed a wave of beautiful counter-kills, killing the cult leader and his band except his sister. Everyone who came was killed by his sister in the end.
The false priest killed his sister and left with the female singer.
I want to talk about my understanding of the two characters:
The sister in the flower, I think she is a real person with anti-social personality. In the depths of her heart, what is hidden is irresistible violence, but she is easy to control, simple and violent. The leader of the cult is very good at controlling people's hearts, especially fragile and lost people's hearts, and because of this, he easily controls his sister and makes her abandon her sister. But in fact, in the long run, when the violence in my sister's heart gradually gets out of control, the cult leader may not necessarily be able to control it. Is this girl really innocent? She seemed to simply reveal her name and sister’s name when her sister asked her brother at the counter. It was obvious that she enjoyed the feeling of playing with people and clapping. In other words, if she hadn’t grown up, she would have Suitable to be the real big boss in some detective movies or horror movies.
I like the counter guy very much. From the beginning, he thought he was a nobody, but because of him, he successfully completed the anti-kill. He clearly remembered that he had killed a few people. Although it was on the battlefield, the killing on the battlefield was a killing in another sense, but he still carried a heavy burden. I think that except for the devil who really kills people, anyone with a bit of humanity will remember that they killed a few people and feel deeply guilty, even if they killed them on the battlefield, just like the men in Bones. The Lord still lives in Longbottom.
The first half hour of the film was really boring, I even fell asleep watching it, but the middle part was really exciting. There will be no derogation or praise for the ending.
