All these characters have problems. But i think that is the point. Because
the movie is mostly supposed to be about the hotel itself. The people in
it
are just passing through. The film is showing how the people change, but
ideals stay the same. The ideals that the hotel was built on and for the
first place. Is it creativity? Or madness? Or apathy? I like all the open
spaces in this story. You can fill in whatever you want. It's the sort of
spirit of the Chelsea Hotel of old. But most people these days probably
won't get it. Or don't want to. Or can't. Nobody dreams about art anymore.
Everybody wants a million bucks. Who's life is richer?
