Looking ahead

①The title contains innuendo

Artemis, audiences familiar with Greek mythology will not be unfamiliar with this name. "The goddess of hunting in ancient Greek mythology" and "one of the twelve gods of Olympus." "Pun" means.

a. The existence of Artemis Hotel must have its magical features.

b. The future of Artemis Hotel will surely become a "hunting place".

② Actor Starlight Glimmer

Acting goddess-level figure Jodie Foster

"Exotic" girl Sofia Boutella

Former WWE champion and muscle man Dave Bautista

Starred in "Jurassic Park" popular Jeff Goldblum

Sterling K. Brown

Guanzhong Essays

①The acting is touching

The main actors all have outstanding performances. After all, they are a combination of strong and strong. No one is unambiguous, fighting strength and fighting acting skills.

②The picture quality is touching

Audiences who have seen this work will definitely be fascinated by the tone and style of the film, especially the quality of the picture is fresh in memory.

a, dim (slightly gloomy) color temperature

b, the light is flickering and dimming (invisibly increases the horror of the film)

c. Except for the nurses in white lab coats, everyone else has dark colors as the main tone, showing the feeling of "depression" and "suffocation"

③The plot is disturbing

a. The background setting (similar to "Sin City") is remarkable, but it is not used effectively.

b. The characters on the scene all have a mysterious past, but what kind of past is it? Unclear explanation.

c, (in the hotel) where did the killings occur? What is the connection between the dead and the killer?

d. The black male protagonist lived to the end unclearly. Is this the plot arrangement? Or is it a need for human rights?

e, anticlimactic. The opening momentum was good, with a good appearance; the middle part was lost in confusion and incomprehensible; at the end, he was rushed and left with money.

Thoughts after viewing

①The perception of the film itself

a, first-rate actor, second-rate producer, third-rate screenwriter

b. The popular online phrase "good-looking skins are the same, and interesting souls are one in a thousand".

②The perception of the content of the film

a. Everyone in the play has a past that is hard to give up. It is extremely difficult to overcome the hurdle of the past.

b. People's struggle, exhaustion, hesitation, loss of human nature, upheaval, and perplexity, only after experiencing these can people see themselves clearly.

Final review

Screenwriter ★☆☆☆☆ (The form is larger than the content, the "cute" contrast, accepting incompetence)

Director ★☆☆☆☆ (a typical failure of "self-written and self-directed")

Actor ★★★★★ (acting skills are indeed commendable)

Plot ★☆☆☆☆ (jump to watch, one end and one tail, fast forward the others)

Visual effects ★★★★★ (The picture quality is touching, supporting the scattered plot)

Sound effects ★★★☆☆ (It can only be regarded as general, there is no eye-catching picture, more powerful than the plot)

Recommendation ★☆☆☆☆ (very disappointing video, you can watch it when you are full)
