Warm light and shadow, classical tones, everyday pictures, and innocuous fright, as a horror film with a low fright index, it may fail.
But as a movie, it far expands the thinking space that some horror movies can bring to the audience. Only by carefully understanding each plot can we understand the true intentions of the director and screenwriter.
What do people fear most? There is no hope. It's only been an hour after everything, and the phone came out: "You can spend this unforgettable hour over and over again", this is the ultimate despair.
Each of the dead were selected in 1408 after facing their own life regression, Mike, too, did not choose check-out, because "even if you leave the room! You will never get rid of this room!"
Let us never full of fear It's not someone else, it's our own heart, ask it, how many dark sides we don't want to face, fear, flee, try to deceive ourselves. But they exist from beginning to end, and when one day we muster up the courage to uncover them, we will understand what it means to be human.
Mike's words at the end are the key to the film. After all the grief, fear, despair, he said, "We've got to be calm, because we're here for this story..."
We're here for a life like this.
Mike's dead daughter said: "Everyone is going to die in the end" - "But we still live without turning back and selfishly" Mike said to himself.
Everyone has a 1408 in his heart, and everyone's life is a 1408.
If you want to say the real horror of this film, it is to lead each viewer into a different 1408.
