Absolutely beautiful music, poetic graphics, plus the superb performances of the actors and a slightly bizarre plot, I even think this film is perfect. There are still people who don't like this movie, and even give it a low rating, but that doesn't stop people who really like "The Million Dollar Hotel" from continuing to like it, including me. In my opinion, any great movie is a movie that is somewhat controversial. Because of the different feelings of the audience, there are different differences, and then there are disputes because of the differences. The more exciting the film is, the more controversial it is. Some people will cry when they watch "The Million Dollar Hotel", but some people will fall asleep; some people will revisit it after many years, some people can't even read it once; Some people say it's a suspense movie, but I think it's a love movie, or even a love-only movie. Tom's love for Eloise is pure and pure, she is the goddess in his heart, no matter what she is in the eyes of others, he does everything he can to protect her and love her, even though she is a whore, although he is an idiot.
When I watched this movie for the third time, it was in the middle of the silent night, and the roommates slept peacefully one by one, and there was no sound outside the house. The first time I watched it was in the classroom where the projector was strobes, and the music of U2 deeply attracted me. It can be said that, to a certain extent, it was the music of U2 that made me decide to watch it for the second time. On the second time, I was interrupted by phone calls and visitors again and again. So, in the middle of the night, I started watching the movie for the third time, although it was the original English subtitles, and this time, I felt the tears flow, it was hard to describe who or what it was for, but in the blue tones full of sadness.
When Tom was running on the roof of The million dollar Hotel in the blue morning light, I didn't know what he was going to do, when he kept turning his head, when he waved his hands awkwardly, I was still guessing that the beginning of this beautiful film will bring What a story. When he opened his arms and leaped into the air, he realized what kind of road of no return Tom had chosen, but the pictures were still beautiful, the music was still beautiful, and even his first lines were opened with a "Wow". What a soulful jump this is, like going to a long-awaited feast. As for his jumping off the building, I still can't understand why this farce can only be solved with death. Yes, this is really a farce, starting from Izzy's inexplicable jumping off the building in my opinion. Because of Izzy's death, the FBI agents were dispatched and came to the hotel to investigate the truth. He suspected one by one and ruled it out, but he did not suspect Tom, who was close at hand. Even though Tom made a final confession to the camera, he still Don't believe Tom killed Izzy because his arrogance doesn't allow himself to see the wrong suspect, and his egoism never allows him to admit that he's really wrong. Geronimo, the art thief, as the media mistakenly said that the stolen famous paintings he painted with asphalt were the last works of the dead Izzy, everyone reached an agreement that it was Izzy's last works, and they delusionally exchanged a lie for it. large sums of money. And Izzy's tycoon father, just to find evidence that his son was murdered, no matter who is true or false, whether it is the truth or not. The media swaying like grass on the wall, the greedy and selfish crowd, art is garbage, garbage is the fallacy of art... Who can say that such absurd farce is not staged around us? Only Tom and Eloise's love is as pure as the rising sun.
"Life is perfect, life is the best. It's full of magic and beauty, opputinity and television, and surprise, lots of surprises...but they only really feel when it's gone" when Tom jumped off the roof, when the camera slowly Sweep through every window, all living beings have a panoramic view. Maybe Tom's brain is wrong but he's more awake than anyone at the moment. "Only love" made him find himself in his short, awake life, and it also made us re-understand what love is. He let go of Izzy's open arms and wanted to fall because his best friend said his favorite Eloise was "noting"; he jumped at the FBI agent who opened the floodgates and threatened everyone because the agent wanted to stop him Eloise said something as he passed behind him; he suddenly said that he was the one who killed Izzy just because the detective started to suspect that Eloise was the murderer; he ran and jumped off the top floor of the hotel with a smile because he didn't want to give the only love anymore ——Eloise brought troubles... In the sun, Eloise walked into his room, they were playing in the gentle sun, and again in the sun, Eloise sat by the window of his room with a book, recalling everything about him, Unfortunately, he is no longer.
I think, I am a person who prefers tragic endings. Too perfect endings often make people feel unreal. The kind of story where the prince and princess live happily in the castle from now on will only appear in fairy tales, and reality will always be It will not become a fairy tale, and therefore tragedies are often more real and touching. Just like "The Million Dollar Hotel", this is not a lighthearted movie. After 2 hours, it seems to be a little dull. It jumped twice, leading to a meaningful and bizarre story. For a long time, I can't forget the leap and the music of U2. Many things become pale and fragile in the face of power and interests, but Tom's love for Eloise has become eternal. No one understands, no one cares about love, but it determines the beginning and the end of the whole play. However, this is not just a love movie. The absurd plot behind the love is so real that people dare not touch and admit it. I would rather it is just a love movie without the cruelty of reality.
