Towards the end, the "true and false male protagonist" scene made me feel like a civet cat for a prince.
First, we need to understand a question about room wish setting. Maybe most people think that its wishing ability is much stronger than the magic lamp (except for space constraints). But the room also suffers from a vague definition of "wish". The first wish of the male protagonist is "I have to drink another bottle", which seems to be a mockery of self-talk, not even a wish, but this is the beginning of everything. A conclusion can be drawn from this: the room is somewhat intrusive to wishes—it can fulfill your precise wishes, but embellish your vague "wish".
In addition to this setting, the room in this film also has a setting, that is, when the wish is about to come true, the lights in the room will flicker, and when the light is steady again, the wish will come true.
After the basic setting is understood, we will return to the film itself. When the ending is approaching, the son becomes the male protagonist by making a wish (the male protagonist is used to distinguish between the first and second male protagonists). The next second, the male protagonist turns around and the female protagonist pushes the male protagonist down the stairs almost at the same time. I feel that the female protagonist here is not trying to identify the male protagonist through human subconsciousness. Because before, the male protagonist No. 2 was the first to say the female protagonist's nickname, the male protagonist No. 1 said it immediately, and then the male protagonist No. 1 almost rudely pulled the female protagonist to escape. But the story begins after the heroine calls out her son's name. The male protagonist No. 1 was pushed down the stairs and fell unconscious. The female protagonist and the male protagonist No. 2 fled the scene, but at this time, the camera turned to the light bulb, and the flashing light bulb gave several close-ups, the lights stopped, and the male protagonist No. 1 became a son.
In just a few seconds, does it represent the fulfillment of a wish: when the hostess in the room hears her son's name, does the hostess wish to have someone with the face of her son, and who becomes her? Son, let’s default to the first person that the female protagonist contacts, so the male protagonist No. 1 won the lottery. After the lights stopped flashing, the male protagonist No. 1 became the son, the product of the room’s wishes, so as long as you leave the room No. 1 will turn to ashes.
Of course, this guess has one most important condition, the room can change the essence of things.
This is just my shallow personal opinion after watching the movie, it does not represent the main theme of the movie and the audience, it is just a topic that can be discussed when it is boring.
