Nice setup, but...

Emm, simply narrate the plot? no, i'm lazy...


Wish Room

That's where the whole movie starts.

A room where all your material desires can be fulfilled, why material? Because, in terms of setting and plot, it seems that it can only achieve certain wishes, similar to the objects I want, for example, money, food, and other material things (even a baby).

However, in the movie, there are also some things that go beyond this concept.

For example, those that change the structure of the room and directly expand a world, even break through the original space size of the room. The description in the film is that as soon as you enter the door of the room, the view of the forest outside the room is displayed, and then, after passing through the forest, you can see the same house as this house, and there is also a " Wish Room", and, in the world in this wish room, it is estimated that you can make wishes anywhere.

For example, after Shane stuns Matt, Shane directly wishes to have all of Matt's appearance.

For example, when Matt and Kate wanted to get rid of Shane in the inner world of the "Wish Room" and return to the original house, they directly made a wish to conjure up another pair of themselves, and then dragged Shane to allow their own body to escape. . (The replica is the real hammer of the tool man.)

Yes, I only see that these three are beyond the original concept for the time being, or, am I wrong in understanding the original concept? After all, no one has said the rules for using this room.


Then, I'm going to start expanding the chat.

The first point is the room itself.

If I had such a room, what would I do?

For the first time, I would try to use the room to get some of the things I wanted, from all kinds of food, to comic books, even game consoles, game discs.

PS: The presentation of the movie at the beginning is really great, the MV-style editing is really great, it's neat and tidy.

As the freshness wears off, I'll start to cool off and think about how the room actually works. Because I am also curious, when I say I want a computer, how does the room know what kind of computer I want, what configuration, what brand of components are, I don't know any of these things. (I know this may be a bit tricky. After all, the room is a strong setting of the movie. If you want to go into detail, you don't need to watch this movie.)

Leaving aside those bullshit ideas, there are some practical issues that really need to be considered. For example, when I use this room to get my phone, computer, tablet and other items that are closely related to me, will those personal information be leaked out, leaked to other people, or leaked to this room? Furthermore, if I feel unwell because of eating the food that I made out of my room, then I can't be held accountable. I can only eat Coptis chinensis as a mute, and I can't tell the pain.

Using this room to change things is like a three-none product to me. If this thing, I just use it normally, similar to computers, game consoles, etc., I just need to pay attention to the problem of privacy leakage. . However, if there is a strong connection with my personal health, such as food and medicine, I will never eat it.

After I learned that the items in the room cannot be brought out of the house, it is estimated that it will not have much impact on me. After all, things like consoles, computers, TVs, and home theaters cannot be brought out. The house’s…

Also, I have a question about using the room to conjure a baby. You talk about turning a baby out, and I'm okay with that, but when it's out of the house, it gets old quickly. This also matches the setting. However, I want to know that when it gets old quickly and goes back to the house before dying, then it lacks this period of upbringing. Then, it should also only have the mind of a child, right?

PS: In fact, when the freshness of the Wish Room wears off, the question I am most concerned about is if I use the Wish Room to change so many things, is there a price to pay, and if so, can I get a refund? ?


Second point, this couple and this child

Why didn't they start, when Kate took Shane out, Matt simply didn't open the door, didn't let Shane take refuge in the house, and let it age rapidly from the baby to the ashes? Maybe it's unbearable, although knowing that the appearance of this child was a mistake, that this child was created from a room and not real, but at least it is a life, at least it is innocent.

Then, Matt didn't want to accept this child from the beginning. Later, when Shane grew into a teenager, Matt wanted to refuse. When he realized that the eternal life of the child requires killing the creator, that is, his lover Kate, ( Anonymous is a living example of killing the Creator's child for immortality), practicing his marksmanship.

He definitely didn't practice marksmanship to kill Kate, after all Kate was so close to him and he hated Shane so much.

So why didn't he just kill Shane, when Shane was only a teenager, he didn't need a gun, so he didn't need a gun? ?

There are two points in my explanation: First, due to the limitations of the film and television censorship system, if a minor is killed in a film, the murderer can only be a bad person all the time, and cannot be whitewashed as a good person. Matt's situation is more complicated. In order to avoid the trouble of reviewing, the filmmakers cannot and do not need to do so; 2. Because Kate, whom he loved at the time, was very confused, and Kate also knew that the child's immortality requires his own death. And Kate himself loved Shane so much, if Matt killed Shane directly, it would also hurt Kate's heart.

So, when Shane took the initiative to walk out of the house and grow into a young man, he tricked Shane into leaving the house, and then turned into ashes.

But, actually, seriously, Shane is a poor kid.

First of all, he was born into this world without knowing what the situation was, and then, "my" "father" has always been "prejudiced" against and "my" "mother" is so spoil. After that, I didn't know how to grow into a youth, (I found that "I" lacked a lot of memory). Although "mother" loves "me", she never lets "me" touch the world outside the house, saying that there are many viruses outside the house, and they are not good for "me", so "me" cannot leave the house. Then, "I" finally used the wish room and created a "world" in the wish room, but the "father" raised the flag to the behavior of "me" like this. Then, one day, the "mother" who loves "me" the most goes out for some reason, leaving only "father" and "me" in the same room, and then the "father" also said that "me" is a fiction, and the "mother" has no idea about the outside of the house. The explanation is to deceive "me"... When "I" took the initiative to step out of this house and found that I really started to grow up, "I" understood that what "father" said was true, and then "I" took the initiative to When I grew up, I returned to the house when I was young, and then began to blacken... (I can only say that the child is a bit miserable, unclear, confused, and finally realized that after knowing everything, I realized that I shouldn't exist, so I can only blacken...)


Third, what happened when Matt and Shane fought

In short, Shane knocked Matt out and made a wish to be Matt. Later, Shane carried Kate to the house in the wish room, trying to hide Kate and live with Kate as Matt.

In fact, when the movie tells the story of Matt and Shane after the fight from Kate's point of view, I really thought about whether Shane would replace him after killing Matt. Shane's cognition has been so unified. Shane (who has become Matt), says Shane is dead, outside the house, and takes Kate out to see Shane's ashes. Seriously, when this fake Matt walked out of the house, I already believed it. Until we return to the knocked down Matt, then, watching Matt enter the room world, run all the way, and see a house that is exactly the same, plus, the fake Matt eats ice cubes there, and even blew his identity, I Just realized what happened.


Fourth point, the end

The explanation at the end is simple.

After Shane was turned to ashes, the video went black, and then a month later, the location was a small hotel.

Matt outside the room took the coffee he just bought and was about to return to the room. When he knocked on the door, the camera showed the scene in the room.

In the room, Kate was sitting beside the bed with a pregnancy test stick in her hand. At this moment, she stared blankly at the two bars on the pregnancy test stick. Yes, she is pregnant, she is finally pregnant. However, there was no smile on her face, she just stared blankly at the pregnancy test stick, and couldn't even hear Matt knocking on the door.

The final shot of the entire film is locked in the room, on a flashing light bulb.

First of all, yes, Kate is pregnant and she should be happy because she's been expecting this baby for so long. Her stunned expression at the time, at first I thought it was because she didn't know how to face this real child. After all, she might have been intimidated by Shane before.

Later, when I saw the light bulb in the room flickering, I suddenly thought, eh, is this child also made a wish? It's just that this time the wish has turned into a hope that he is pregnant, and that he hopes to give birth to a child that truly belongs to him? And then, the flashing lightbulb, plus the baby still there, that is, they're still in the world of the wish room? Moreover, Kate himself also made this clear? And Matt is still in the dark? Well, Kate, I'm really powerless to complain about you. Before, Shane's incident was caused by you, and the distorted values ​​behind Shane, you can't get rid of it, and then, now, you haven't learned your lesson and want to repeat it all?

Emm, but, before getting angry, let's be clear that there is no direct evidence that the truth is as above. Moreover, at the end of the Shane incident of the film, Matt did not faint, that is to say, Matt should be put into the world of the wish room, unless, after the Shane incident, they would start alone, or they did not return to the original in the beginning of the world.

However, these are all conjectures, and every idea has its own merits. Anyway, I believe the first one is the one I wrote down.


Written at the end, in fact, I watched this film because I was attracted by the concept of the wish room, so I came to watch it, and I wanted to know how this film could unfold. There are indeed a lot of expansions, for example, the world in the wish room, and use the wish room to create a child. It is even said that the created items, when the creator still exists, will age rapidly as soon as they appear outside the house, just like being wrapped in a time-wrapped cloth (the one in Doraemon). These are great ideas, but in the movie, these concepts seem to be just scratching the surface, which is kind of a shame to me.
