The Baptism of Soul Failure

In "The Shining", we experienced Jack Nicholson's almost crazy performance and the chilling horror atmosphere brought to us by director Kubrick, so it became a classic.

"1408 Phantom Fierce Room" brings the audience a baptism of the soul of the protagonist Mike. As a horror writer, he is a complete atheist. We know that the most painful thing in the world is the departure of a loved one. Mike is a wounded soul who has become helpless due to the loss of his daughter: he gradually loses himself, all because he is too sad, depressed, and depressed. He doesn't even know what he is doing now. The vacant room 1408 arrived on schedule, just like a secret arrangement. God arranged for him to accept a terrifying journey in the world, hoping that he could regain his strength. However, the weakness of human nature betrayed himself, and he finally failed to mend the gap between his family and his relatives. That moment disappeared. "God saves only those who save themselves." The baptism of the soul fails, and death is the end.

Andy's (Shawshank Redemption) redemption is a success, while Mike's is a failure, mentality is the key, "hope" and "despair" are opposites from beginning to end!
