Contains a rich background of the times-"The Royal Hotel Murder"
Today we will talk about the movie "The Royal Hotel Murder".
The film title is Bad Times at the El Royale (2018), also known as The Tragic Times at the Royal Hotel / Bad Thing Hotel (Taiwan) / Thieves Eye Hotel (Hong Kong).
In just over two hours, this film tells multiple stories with a huge amount of information and is extremely entertaining.
Just like the other title of the film "The Bad Thing Hotel", in this royal hotel, bad things happen again and again. Every room has bad things in every room. When these bad things are intertwined, combined with the real-time background of the United States in the 1960s and 1970s, the film presents an evocative charm.
There are so many stories that happened in this royal hotel. Many incidents have been mentioned in one stroke, but they are too iconic. The audience can see the prototype referred to in the film at a glance.
For example, the gossip between Kennedy and the famous actress Marilyn Monroe is rumored to be having a tryst in a hotel in California.
For example, the government openly and wantonly eavesdropping and secretly photographing well-known people as a bargaining chip to threaten opponents, and then developed the eavesdropping to the most famous "Watergate Incident."
For example, a sharpshooter who survived the war in the quagmire of the Vietnam War had to rely on drugs to numb himself at night to fall asleep.
For example, when racial discrimination intensifies, how can blacks get rid of harassment and overcome obstacles to become strong and independent themselves.
For example, the infamous "Manson Family", based on its leader Charles Milles Manson second creation of the cult leader Charles Milles Manson.
You see, there is Marilyn Monroe and Charles Miller Manson, is it just one Marilyn Manson?
Every extremely topical element ends, and the era background full of contradictions and conflicts leads to a strong dramatic effect.
At the same time, in addition to making crazy hints with the elements of the times, the characters in "The Royal Hotel Murder" are also full of various hidden stories.
Concentration is the essence. Each story ends at the end, leaving a lot of blank space for the audience to make up for themselves.
The two sisters who escaped from the ghost father is the most typical example. The two of them encountered the devil's claws of the ghost father when they were young, and one day they finally broke out and killed the ghost father, and fell into the hands of the cult. A few simple shots tell a story that can be made into an American drama clearly. This makes the audience have to admire the director's skill.
In fact, just look at the resume of director Drew Goddard to know why this film is so good.
His most famous work as a director is "The Cabin in the Woods". This film can be regarded as the master of horror films, unifying all horror films into the same dimension and possessing a complete and unified worldview. He has also worked as a screenwriter for famous films such as "Deadpool 2" and "Martian Rescue", and well-received screenwriters such as the American dramas "Lost" and "Dare Devil", and he is very adept at playing suspense and thriller elements.
"The Royal Hotel Murder" is quite similar to the "Lodge in the Woods" routine, except that various famous horror movie elements are replaced with famous elements from the American contemporary background, so that all the elements are intertwined in the Royal Hotel. The same simple story strung all the elements together, which made the audience happy while also full of horror and cult feelings.
In addition to the excellent director and screenwriter, the cast of the film is also extremely powerful.
It is the 74th sexiest male star in the world that occupies the C position in the poster in 2018: Thor·Seaman·Chris Hemsworth Chris Hemsworth.
In addition, there are Oscar actor Jeff Bridget, "Fifty Shades of Ash" and "Wind Wind" heroine Dakota Johnson Dakota Johnson, Golden Globe Emmy Award Emperor, and "Mad Men" actor Jon · Jon Hamm, Cynthia Erivo coming out of Broadway. The strong cast indicates that the film will have a large number of opponents, and the audience is ready to watch the actors' drama at any time.
The story in "The Royal Hotel Murder" is not out of the ordinary. There is no spoiler here, and it is left for the audience to discover on their own in the film. The development of the plot does not take an ordinary path. Every time the audience just adapts to the rhythm of the story, the movie will push the plot fiercely without letting the plot fall into inertial thinking.
Every camera switch is a reversal. Just as the hodgepodge-style "House in the Woods" makes horror movie fans so happy, this mixed style and strong historical sense of "Royal Hotel Murder" will also make thriller movie fans clap their hands. Applaud.
