This is one of the movie that I think has so many hidden meanings. After watching the movie, I am still immersed in the movie and can't stop feel sorry for the death of the Miles. The movie has numerous characters an du feel that each of them is solid and lively. Everyone has their own story and own perspective. No one in the Movie is purely kind or evil. The place by the director is almost perfect. Everyone has their own story and this makes the story truly build up. Their past background is important as this shapes their traits and behavior. Hopefully, there will be people who can sit down quietly and admire these menaingful movie which is much different than the the typical popcorn movie. I am pretty sure this will be an Oscar nominated movie .

The story was set in a night of 60-an, and seven strangers who did not know each other came to the El Royal Hotel in Tahoe that full of dark history. Each with his own axe to grind and they made this originally calm night extremely unsettled. . . This American version of the "Dragon Inn" which gather all the star, including Jeff Bridges, Dakota Johnson, Lewis Pullman, Chris Hemsworth and so on. The plot is somewhat similar to the "Hotel Artemis" released in August, and is based on the "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" in "Peace Hotel". Compared to the “Hotel Artemis”, the rhythm is slow, and the two hours and twenty minutes of movie length might not acceptable by all movie enthusiasts. However, if you watch it with heart, it is not difficult to find that there are many unexpected plots in the film, from multiple perspectives to transformation and advancement, layer by layer of revel the suspense. The technique is exquisite and fresh. On the whole, this film is superior in terms of suspense plots, soundtracks, shooting techniques and actors' acting skills. However, in terms of rhythm and interpretations, it may not be able resonate with all the movie enthusiasts!
