Film Name: 来福大酒店 / Life Hotel
A realistic film full of warmth and dramatic twists, 《Life Hotel》 shows the importance of gratitude in life through a unique perspective and profound themes. The film revolves around ‘socially dead’ San Qing (Huang Xuan), who goes undercover at a hotel called Lai Fu Hotel near the hospital in order to raise money for his father, trying to stir up the hotel’s business and forcing the owner, Xiao Lin (Liu Yan), to agree to demolish the hotel. However, as he spends time together, San Qing not only develops a bond with the members of the hotel, but also witnesses the life stories of the guests who come and go from the hotel. His inner struggle continues, and what was originally a simple undercover mission becomes a choice that concerns his dignity. The fate of the hotel not only affects all the people living here, but also the longing of San Qing for his home.
Director Liu Bowen brings the audience into this world of warmth and challenge with his delicate narrative. He skilfully explores the themes of family, friendship and redemption through the interactions and emotional entanglements between the characters. The film is also enhanced by the brilliant performances of Huang Xuan and Liu Yan, who portray the inner world of their characters in such a way that the audience can deeply feel the emotional changes of their characters.
The Lai Fu Hotel in the film is not only a hotel, but also a microcosm of society. Here, we see all kinds of people with their own stories and dilemmas. However, it is through the help and support of each other that they find hope and courage. This humanistic concern gives the film more depth and impact.
Overall,《Life Hotel》 is a masterpiece worth watching. It will bring you touching and thinking, let you grow in gratitude and move forward in touching. Whether it is the plot of the film or the performance of the actors, the audience can feel the director’s heart and sincerity. I believe this film will leave a deep impression on the audience and become a classic.
