movie #murder at the royal hotel
Interesting to say, watching a murder-themed movie on Christmas Eve was not "safe" at all!
The movie is nearly two and a half hours long, but there is no urine in the whole process. It's a bit like the American version of #龙门客栈#. After you sing, I will appear, followed by the mantis catching the cicada and the oriole. The plot appears to be loose, but it is actually quite compact.
The story takes place in a hotel in the United States in the 1960s, the Royal Hotel. This hotel has a characteristic, part of it belongs to Nevada, and the other part is located in California. Rooms on the Nevada (alcohol free) side are a dollar cheaper (per night) than on the California side.
"Father" Flynn chose room 4 by tossing a coin, singer Darlene chose room 5 under the arrangement of the hotel's younger brother Miles, because the other rooms had not been cleaned, and Emily, a hippie girl, chose room 7, although this room The room was not cleaned, and Sullivan, the vacuum cleaner salesman, designated Room 1, and everyone seemed to be preoccupied. So the story unfolds.
In Room 1, the vacuum cleaner salesman Sullivan started pretending to call his family as soon as he entered the house. The family should not be in the United States, and there is a jet lag. During this period, he proficiently found the bugs installed in the room (estimated to be about 20), and then walked to the secret passage of the hotel, where the situation in each room could be observed. It turned out that all rooms were installed. A double-sided mirror about 2 meters x 1.5 meters. Through a double-sided mirror, Sullivan discovered that the "priest" in room four had dug up the floor, the singer in room five was practicing singing, and the hippie girl in room seven had kidnapped an underage girl. After that, he called his boss Hoover to report case 22463 in the rain, and told him about the kidnapping and the search for the film. So he wrecked all the cars, but got involved in the kidnapping case in room seven. His real identity should be FBI agent Broadbeck.
In Room 5, the singer Darlene is playing the role of harmony, but she has always wanted to stand out and become the lead singer. As we all know, it is difficult for the entertainment industry to be in the top position, so in desperation, she accepted the fate of being unspoken (for a year). A year later she arrived at the Royal Hotel, preparing for the next day's performance. At this time, the priest in Room 4 knocked on her door and said that he wanted to invite her to dinner, because the priest thought she sang well, so he and the priest came to the hotel lobby, but the waiter did not appear (because of high drug use). The priest suggested that she have a glass of wine, and just as he was about to give her the medicated wine, Darlene, who was super alert, picked up the bottle and waved it at the priest's head. The priest fainted and Darlene ran away.
Room 7, the kidnapper of the hippie girl Emily turned out to be her sister Rose. She was not trying to kidnap her sister, but was about to save her brainwashed sister from a "cult", but was caught by FBI agents. The FBI thought it was a kidnapping case, so they broke into the door after the phone call, ready to rescue Rose, but was shot dead by Emily. The bullet shattered the double-sided glass in the room, and it seemed that someone was injured, so Emily went to investigate.
Room 4, "Father" Flynn is old and suffering from Alzheimer's syndrome. Ten years ago, he and his brother and a young man robbed a money-transporting van. In order to cover the other two, he drove alone to attract The police paid attention and made an appointment with his younger brother to meet at the Royal Hotel. Unfortunately, he was caught by the police, and his younger brother was killed by (should be) the young man. Fortunately, the money was hidden in five Under the floor of room number 1, ten years later, he was released from prison and was going to get the money back, but because of Alzheimer's, he only remembered that the money was hidden in one room between number four and number five , which explains why he had to flip a coin to select the room, unfortunately he chose number four, and number five was selected by the singer, so he was going to drug the singer to stun the singer, and went into the room to ask for money, but was turned over. Soon after, the hotel attendant, Miles, woke him up and wanted to confess to him. During the conversation, he learned that Miles had done a lot of wrong things (stealing guests' finances, peeping other people's privacy, etc.), looking through the double-sided mirror of the hotel room. I have heard a lot of things. A year ago, there was a very important person (personal guess should be Kennedy) who made love with his lover in Room 1. He took a picture, but that person was very kind to Miles, so he didn't show up. Handed it over to the hotel management (supposedly JFK's political enemy) and hid it myself, now that important person is dead. After the conversation, Miles took the priest to the secret passage and happened to see a girl kidnapped by the FBI in Room 7. He offered to help the girl, but the priest only cared about the film, so he went to find the film by himself. The detective broke into Room 7 and was shot dead. During the process, the double-sided glass was broken. Miles behind the glass was accidentally injured, and half of his face was disfigured, but his life was not serious. He was then tied up in the lobby by the hippie girl, and at the same time, Rose made a phone call to the cult leader for help.
Singer Darlene was about to run away after knocking out the priest, but all the cars were destroyed by FBI agents and could not start. During the escape process, she witnessed the shooting in Room 7. She took advantage of Emily to deal with Miles and Rose to call for help. , found the parts of the car from the FBI body, repaired the car, and just about to start the car, the priest appeared next to her car, after the priest's remarks, she knew the fact that the priest was actually a thief, so she offered to split half money, both parties agree.
When the priest and the singer found the money and were about to leave, the cult boss (played by Brother Hammer) appeared and tied the two of them plus Emily and Miles in the hall.
They started tormenting these people, first killed Emily, and then when they were about to kill the priest, the priest slammed and scuffled with Brother Hammer. At this time, Miles was unbound in the chaos. Encouraged by the singer, he recalled being a sniper. He once killed 123 people (on the Vietnam battlefield), and handsomely picked up a gun and shot the heads of all the cult members one by one. When Rose saw Brother Hammer's death, he was in great pain. He leaned over and cried on Brother Hammer's body. Miles wanted to comfort him, but Rose turned around and stabbed Miles, killing Miles. Upon seeing this, the priest shot and killed Rose, and when Miles was dying, he became a real priest and accepted Miles' confession, allowing him to die in peace. Finally the priest and singer walked out of the hotel with huge sums of money and film.
