What a seven-day holiday, a family to stay at a Hawaiian resort for a few nights to relax, what a pleasant thing. Who would have thought that in these 7 days, there would be a life case in the resort, and someone would be killed! Who is the murderer? Who was killed?
This is the beginning of HBO's latest hit TV series, White Lotus Resort.
White Lotus Resort is an upscale resort located on the Hawaiian Islands, where the rich and wealthy are among the rich.
Today Resort Manager Almond led the staff to greet their latest wave of guests at the resort with a smile on their faces.
The wave of guests included the Moenbach family of 5, newlyweds Peyton 2, and single woman Tanya McWard 1.
The five members of the Moenbach family are father Mark, mother Nicole, daughter Olivia and her girlfriend Paula, and son Quinn.
The newlywed Peytons are husband Shane and wife Rachel.
Unlike ordinary TV series, the first few episodes need to be laid out for a long time to get to the point.
On the contrary, the show was placed in front of the explosion at the beginning, and the first episode opened ten minutes, and various conflicts and contradictions came to the face, and the story was extremely strong and full of points of view.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="88" >01 The Weirdness of the Moenbach family</h1>
Mother Nicole is a strong woman who makes money to support her family, in a fortune 500 world famous enterprise as an executive, will be a few Chinese, this time to take the whole family out on vacation at the same time has been working non-stop, through video and customer communication, the status at home is a word.
Father Mark belongs to the vulnerable group in the family, earns not as much as his wife, always has to look at the color of his wife, although people are more inferior, but occasionally have done this kind of work to find xiao san, but they have turned back in time.
Recently, he suspected he had cancer and the test report had not yet come out. Although the others were at the resort, their hearts were always thinking about the test report, and they were always immersed in a state of fear of the embattled and the shadow of the cup and bow.
Mark didn't tell the kids about the possibility of cancer, he didn't want to show his vulnerability in front of them, but what he said to his son Quinn every day was like confessing the aftermath, making Quinn, who was only 16 years old, look confused.
Mark complains about himself in front of his wife every day, making Nicole, who is extremely enterprising and psychologically strong, tireless, but helpless.
Her daughter, Olivia, a sophomore who is in the rebellious years of her youth, brings her college girlfriend Paula on vacation, and the two are extremely gossipy and poisonous, and secretly smoke marijuana and drugs together.
She ignored her parents, spoke in a sneering manner, bullied her brother if she could, lived in a large room with her girlfriend, and selfishly drove her brother to sleep in the kitchen.
Son Kun, is a somewhat cute, a little cute otaku, his only hobby is to play mobile games 24 hours a day, but also a poor second treasure, often bullied by his sister but nowhere to complain. At the resort, he was bullied into living in the kitchen and later forced to sleep on the beach with a rolled-up bed.
In short, in Rachel Peyton's eyes, they are a very strange family.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="94" >02 Entanglement of newlywed Peytons</h1>
The newlywed Peytons came to the resort for their honeymoon, and they are an enviable couple with a talented woman. The husband Shane is tall, handsome, and golden, and a rich man; the wife, Rachel, is graceful and beautiful, and is a small reporter for a newspaper.
Newlyweds, as soon as they entered the hotel suite, they couldn't wait to get in bed.
However, while preparing for the operation, her husband Shane suddenly discovered that this suite was not the honeymoon suite that his mother had booked for him.
He was angry, immediately stopped exercising, got out of bed to go to the manager theory, and asked to change rooms.
Wife Rachel feels that the two people come out for the honeymoon, mainly to be happy, and now the environmental conditions of the suite are also very comfortable, so they don't want to change.
But Shane still insisted on the manager, Almond, and returned to the honeymoon suite that his mother had originally booked.
It turned out that Shane was a typical mother-in-law man, everything in his life was arranged by his mother, and he was also a male brother who could not bear a little grievance and could not settle for anything.
For the resort to arrange the wrong suite, he did not have a little bit of a stomach to settle down, nor did he consider the feelings of his new wife, and he was always grumpy, repeatedly finding the manager Amond to complain.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="95" >03 The sadness of Tanya McWard, a single rich woman</h1>
Tanya, a wealthy, middle-aged single woman who had just lost her mother, came to the resort to prepare to scatter her mother's ashes to the sea, because she felt that her mother liked the sea.
On the surface, she seems to be rich and dressed brightly, and her tips are even more generous, but she is actually very lonely and sad inside, and she has been immersed in the pain of losing her mother.
Although she was very rich, she didn't have any reliable friends, and she didn't trust anyone.
When she arrived at the resort, she slowly relaxed during her treatment and opened her heart to the resort's therapist, Belinda, and told her about her grief and pain.
But as soon as I saw this Tanya, I wanted to laugh, and I couldn't really get into the role.
Because Tania's actor Jennifer Kurić played the poisonous and super funny Sophie in "Bankrupt Sisters", the impression of Sophie who made people laugh and lose her teeth was too deep, so Tania was so sad in this play, I can't be sad.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="96" >04 Resort manager Amond's crosshair</h1>
Almond has been the manager of this resort for many years and is the boss of the resort. He treats his work with enthusiasm, professionalism and conscientiousness, and he deals with the various requirements of each tourist, reasonable or unreasonable, and he is able to cope with them with ease.
Even if there is a little mistake in his work, he can also use various means to fool through, to put it bluntly, it is a bit of an old fritter, which may be the characteristics of old employees.
It was he who rebooked the honeymoon suite of the mother treasure boy Shane, which caused Shane to be very unhappy, and Shane also kept chasing him to change back to his honeymoon suite.
Almond knew that he had made a mistake, and if he took the initiative to admit his mistake to Shane and apologize to Shane, maybe Ma BaoNan would not be so stubborn and chasing him every day to meet his honeymoon suite.
But How can Almond, a manager in his 40s, with a bunch of subordinates, show weakness in front of employees? This little problem can not be solved, the face can not be passed, how to stand in front of the staff in the future.
Therefore, he chose to hide the sky and cross the sea, thinking that he could be confused as before.
At first, he wanted to make a mockery of Shane, saying that the suite his mother had booked was the suite he was living in now, and was punched in the face by the video of Shane getting the reservation at that time;
Then, he immediately changed his mind and said that the honeymoon suite had been occupied by other customers and could not be exchanged, but shane heard that the honeymoon suite customer was about to check out.
In short, he just didn't want to admit that he had made the mistake of the suite.
Did the anxious Mark have cancer? Did Shaun return to his honeymoon suite? Did the grieving Tanya sprinkle her mother's ashes into the sea? Who was killed?
I will continue to share it with you later.
