Dreams and Hopes
I have seen "The Million Dollar Hotel" in a German movie theater. The German producer Wim Wenders and frontman Bono from U 2 are the two men who created this movie. It is a romantic thriller which plays in downtown Los Angeles in the year 2001. The junkie Izzy Goldkiss, son of a media mogul, is found dead. FBI Agent Skinner (Mel Gibson) starts his investigation in the hotel, where Izzy had lived. The hotel is a shelter for the poor with no medical insurance. The prostitute Eloise (Milla Jovovich) and the dreamer Tom Tom (Jeremy Davies) are only two of the people who Skinner is questioning. It is a story about friendship, trust, betrayal and the powerful strength of an unconditional love in front of a criminal investigation ... and at the end even Skinner does not know who is guilty or not guilty, insane or not insane. Great movie, unfortunately not played in every movie theater in the United States. Not available on VHS or DVD yet.
