This movie really pisses me off because the room it assumes knows all your fears and uses it to attack you is arrogant, even though it's more obvious later that it's just a metaphor for "fuck" life.
Who is the female voice on the phone in the horror scenes that take place every hour? The mastermind behind the miserable life? A bunch of dead wraiths? The hotel does not close the room for the sake of image, but it can be said that there are always some irresistible factors that make life continue to be miserable. Did those who died fail the game against fear justify their way of life? The male protagonist sacrifices himself for justice, which naturally conforms to the mainstream values. To defeat the inner demon, the climax lies in a fire, both real and imaginary. In the face of everything that is uncontrollable, it will burn with laughter. Of course, I also think it is gorgeous, but because of this, a hundred schools of thought are deposed and only Confucianism is respected? The male protagonist tried every means to escape, but I thought: what if this is an oriental person? If you just close your eyes and ignore it completely, wouldn't you be able to become an immortal? Really, I just use the routines of action movies to deal with metaphysical psychological problems. The spirit of scientific rationality can help Americans analyze reality and master survival skills, but they are dealing with a world with ghosts.
Looking back, the protagonist's face at the horror hotel at the beginning of the film is also arrogant. I don't have any opinion on the reasoning of the movie, but it makes it clear that there must be a ghost in the room, otherwise the little girl's voice will come from; if there is no confirmation of the ghost story, it will not come back, I can only say that this is not advanced enough. There are still people who talk about theism or atheism, and they don't even know what it means.
This room is the same thing as the pot in "Hanging the Pot to Help the World". Inside the pot is just a dream of Huang Liang, but 1408 is a dangerous trap. This seems to be the difference between Eastern thinking and Western thinking. If it is both true and false, the East regards it as an illusion, and the West regards it as true.
