Decorative Title Cards in Bad Times at the El Royale
Warning: Spoilers ahead
Room One: 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: Darlene Sweet
Design ties in this iconic record motif, launching into the exposition of Darlene’s music career.
Washington, D.C.
Pretty standard title card with clean lines & no ornate flourishes. Perhaps reflecting DC’s role as austere, unfeeling Big Brother?
Room Seven: Emily & Rose Summerspring
Design seems to be inspired by the embroidery on Rose’s dress, as well as her seemingly whimsical & naïve attitude.
Room Four: Father Daniel Flynn/Dock O’Kelly
Design ties in the iconic cross motif, more than just a nod to Flynn’s presumed identity.
Billy Lee
Holy flower child, Billy Lee! But perhaps the stars start to peek at something more sinister?
Maintenance Closet: 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 didn’t really say much about Miles’ character or history. If anyone sees anything in this seemingly standard title card, though, let me know!
Side note: I am hoping to do a fun little redesign for this title card because dangit, Miles, you deserve it!
Reno
Darlene’s record motif returns(!) with slight variation.
