Briefly explore the hotel manager role

For the manager is good or bad, I feel that the hotel manager is not a bad person. At first, he really didn't want the male protagonist to live in 1408, but the male protagonist insisted on going in. After entering, it can be said that there are various hallucinations. The experience in the room is also a confession of his past. As an atheist, he feels self-blame for what he said to his daughter, and regrets for arguing with his father. The dialogue with the manager through the refrigerator should also be a dialogue with his own mind, and it has nothing to do with the manager. At the end of the film, the manager should also have good intentions to give the relic to the male protagonist's girlfriend.
But another explanation can also be seen as the manager doing all the tricks, mainly because the wine given by the manager is really suspicious. Drinking as always is a bit weird indeed). After Mike's death, the manager gave his relics to his girlfriend, which can be understood as wanting to pass this curse to her. In the end, the man with blood on his face that the manager saw from the mirror of the car should be the dead male protagonist who was burned. It can also be considered a sign of guilt. But this possibility is unlikely, after all, there are so many supernatural phenomena in the hotel that the manager can't make out. Or it tends to be that what happened in 1408 is the illusion of the male protagonist's perverted surrealism.

    Horror movies always put the shackles of the protagonist's personal shadow on it, it's not good..
