Decorative Title Cards in Bad Times at the El Royale
Warning:Ā Spoilers ahead
Room One:Ā Laramie Seymour Sullivan/Dwight Broadbeck Design mimics his plaid suit jacket, a relatively loud & characteristic piece of attire compared to those of the other characters we meet early in the movie.
Room Five: Ā Darlene Sweet Design ties in this iconic record motif, launching into the exposition of Darleneās music career.
Washington, D.C. Pretty standard title card with clean lines & no ornate flourishes.Ā Perhaps reflecting DCās role as austere, unfeeling Big Brother?
Room Seven: Ā Emily & Rose Summerspring Design seems to be inspired by the embroidery on Roseās dress, as well as her seemingly whimsical & naĆÆve attitude.
Room Four:Ā Father Daniel Flynn/Dock OāKelly Design ties in the iconic cross motif, more than just a nod to Flynnās presumed identity.
Billy Lee Holy flower child, Billy Lee!Ā But perhaps the stars start to peek at something more sinister?
Maintenance Closet: Ā Miles Miller As our emissary to the dark roots within the El Royale & for someone whose eventual death really pushed the good/evil/limbo overtones of the film, this title card didnāt really say much about Milesā character or history.Ā If anyone sees anything in this seemingly standard title card, though, let me know!
Side note:Ā I am hoping to do a fun little redesign for this title card because dangit, Miles, you deserve it!
Reno Darleneās record motif returns(!) with slight variation.
Someone: yea I heard that movie has Chris Hemsworth playing a cult leader
Me (watching trailer):
Bad Times at the El Royale
This is the true story (truuuuue storyyyy) of seven strangers, picked to stop at a hotel, work against each other, and have their lives filmed. Find out what happens when people stop being polite and start getting real at the El Royale. Ok, so itās not a true story. But the basic formula works as well here as it did way back in 1992 on MTV - seven strangers, packed together in one larger-than-life location, and shitās gonna get real. Weāve already seen this in one psycho-thriller hotel drama this year, Hotel Artemis, with mixed results. So what exactly do you get when you check into the El Royale? Well...
