点评:The old Royal cinema is an unrestored vintage facade and structure which is the historical remnant of one of the four original cinemas in Kampot. It's not to be confused with the 'Hotel Old Cinema', which was actually called the '7 Makara' cinema before it was restored and turned into a hotel. It's not clear why affiliates, fans and visitors of the Hotel Old Cinema are seeking to adopt this particular TripAdvisor listing (including changing the original relevant URL) of the historical Royal cinema, as these are totally separate buildings two streets away from each other. Anyway, I first scouted this location in 2008 in anticipation of the film festival we were operating, the CamboFest, during which we refitted the Royal with a new digital projection system thanks to many grass roots supporters and volunteers. I'm still friends with the former Cambodian owner of the Royal, who happily sold it about a year ago so he could move his family out of the Royal structure and into a proper house in the countryside, and the new owners took off the collapsing roof and have gutted the interior, but the exterior is still standing as of August 2024.
翻译:老皇家电影院是一座未经修复的复古外观和建筑,是贡布四座原始电影院之一的历史遗迹。请不要将其与“老电影院酒店”混淆,后者在修复并改建为酒店之前实际上被称为“7 Makara”电影院。目前尚不清楚为什么老电影院酒店的附属机构、粉丝和访客会寻求采用历史悠久的皇家电影院的这个特定的 TripAdvisor 列表(包括更改原始相关 URL),因为这些是相隔两条街的完全独立的建筑。无论如何,我第一次在 2008 年为我们正在运营的电影节 CamboFest 寻找这个地点,在此期间,我们在许多基层支持者和志愿者的帮助下,为皇家电影院重新配备了新的数字投影系统。我仍然与皇家酒店的前柬埔寨主人保持朋友关系,大约一年前,他高兴地将酒店卖掉,这样他就可以带着家人搬出皇家酒店,搬到乡下一间合适的房子里,新主人拆掉了倒塌的屋顶,拆除了酒店内部,但截至 2024 年 8 月,酒店外部依然完好。
