After watching movies of this kind of theme, I can't help but think, if it were me, what would I do? I used to wave to the "righteous" side, but now, there are more doubts. Is there absolute justice and evil in this world? Of course, the old Nick will not mention it.
In the second half of the film, the heroine was asked in an interview why she didn't send Jack away when she was born and set her child free early. She was stunned, and then she committed suicide in the bathroom at night. From the perspective of transposition, my choice is the same as that of the hostess-keeping the child by my side-such a seemingly selfish approach. Whether or not it is because the heroine wants Jack to be with her, there is nothing wrong with the mother and son being together. Later, the heroine "uses" Jack to help them escape, also because the old Nick started to contact Jack.
In fact, the director did not explain the motive of the heroine's move very clearly, or rather, it was deliberately confused. If the female reporter did not ask that question in the end, few people would have thought about it. And I think it is not very meaningful to discuss this issue. At least for me, selfishness and love do not need to be separated so clearly. Moreover, in addition to the so-called moral requirements in this world, there is no stipulation that "people" must be selfless.
The second point of thinking is about the changes after two people escape, the freedom of enclosed space and the closure of free space. When they were in the room, their behavior was suppressed, but Jack's soul was free; after they came out, their bodies were free again, but their souls seemed to be ostracized by the world. Whether it was Jack's grandfather's disapproval of him, or the people's excessive enthusiasm for this matter, it made people feel sad and helpless. Compared to the younger Jack, it seems more difficult for an adult heroine to return to this "normal" world. After reading it, I asked my classmates, "Is the hostess in the room more harmful to the hostess in the past few years, or is it a child?" I think it is the hostess, but she thinks it is a child. She said that the harm to the child is a kind of subconscious torture, such as a wardrobe, such as constantly changing his perception of foreign objects. I think Jack is still in the plastic phase (amnesia phase), he can be infected by the good things in this world, as he said at the end, as long as the "adults" around him can face themselves. The torture for the heroine is that she not only believes that this is a painful thing, but the whole thing overturns her previous education, just like she said she doesn't want to be "be nice" anymore.
I don't know how many people in this world are like her, who have turned their minds upside down because of some things when they grow up. I don't know if such a change is lucky or unfortunate.
Regarding the unfinished end, many people say that the development of the plot outside the room determines whether this movie is family chicken soup or a serious drama. I agree with this statement (initially I thought 80% of the time would be focused on how the mother and son escaped). It now appears that the movie is not unfinished, but it is not enough, and the reason for not being good enough is that it is not focused and intense enough. I think if the problem is focused on one person, mother and son, and finally reversed, it may be more profound.
Finally, I really feel sorry for the hostess, what she experienced may be beyond my imagination in my life, bless her.
