1. Overall:
Unlike horror films in the traditional sense, this film has a sense of heroism. Our protagonist, in constant struggle with the evil room 1408, finally chose to perish together. The constant struggle between room 1408 and the male protagonist is also the contradiction of this film, which pushes the storyline forward in the struggle.
The male protagonist carried out a series of confrontations with various hallucinations in the front, and was threatened in the back, but burned 1408 instead. This is different from the traditional ghost movies that emphasize people's sense of powerlessness. It seems that our male protagonist is a bit stronger. This is due to the setting of the characters of atheists, horror novel writers, and horror explorers. The male protagonist is too strong at the beginning, so that he can last for 1 hour (the previous check-in 1408 was basically destroyed in a few minutes. ) In the second stage, 1408 will call and threaten you at this time, and a small number of people who have survived for an hour mostly choose the express check-out service (suicide) provided by 1408, but our male protagonist has achieved the opposite. Kill, change one by one, and finally smoke in the flames, there is an urge to make people call "handsome".
By the end, I didn't even think I was watching a thriller.
2. 1408:
If we compare 1408 to a ghost, then he may be the weaker one, of course, compared to the male protagonist, otherwise it would be impossible to kill 56 people in front, and the male protagonist overturned the car.
Only the ability to control the room itself and create hallucinations. Let him have a fatal weakness and lack of effective physical damage. In the 1 hour attack, the real physical damage to the male protagonist was only closing the window and pressing the hand and letting go of the water at the beginning, and the rest were all mental attack.
Let's take a look at the titles of the male protagonist: Atheist, Calm, Ghost Fiction Writer, Ghost Detective Although these are useless in the physical sense, the male protagonist is still an ordinary person, but every title of the male protagonist is related to the spirit. There is a bonus. If it is a ghost with a relatively high mental attack point of 1408, the male protagonist is full of mental resistance points.
That's why he overturned the car and was killed by an ordinary person. Of course, the elimination of 1408 is definitely not only the male protagonist's skill, but at least two relatively positive external forces: the hotel manager 1408 itself
3. How to kill/escape 1408?
If you are the same ordinary person as the previous 56,
Two suggestions: 1. Don't kill yourself, don't enter a place like that. 2. If you enter and reduce your actions, your setting is just an ordinary person, and there is a high probability of being killed. Waiting for death can not only be translated as waiting for death, but may also be called a method of less triggering and killing.
If you are the kind of male protagonist and meet your more restrained 1408
First of all, after you have survived for an hour, you will find some facts:
1408 can only attack mentally,
Only affects things that come with the room itself.
These two rules are enough. First of all, you can ensure that 1408 cannot kill you from your most vulnerable place. Humans are always physically fragile creatures. 1408 has no physical attack. As long as you determine this, you The latter actions will become reckless. So at this time, we must find a way to solve the problem, that is, the second condition 1408 can only affect his own things, then the things you bring in are very important, and see what is useful.
There is a ready-made example: the male protagonist used his lighter + the manager's wine, rubbed Molotov cocktails in his hands, and forcibly exchanged 1 for 1.
But there are two important points in the male protagonist's way of breaking the question; the idea of the manager's wine and incendiary bombs, the wine comes from the manager (here, it can be seen that the manager gives the male protagonist the wine with obvious purpose), and the idea of incendiary bombs comes from As for 1408 itself (the male protagonist saw the sentence of burning me on the wall of 1408 and the last threatening phone call disappeared in a melted way), here we can also think more about the possibility that 1408 may have its own problems.
In such a coincidental and reasonable situation, the male protagonist achieved the question we asked at the beginning: how to escape/kill 1408?
4. Ending details
In the open ending, what I prefer is that the male protagonist defeated the evil aggregation 1408, but the male protagonist's tape has preserved part of the evil factor of 1408, so the manager will see the hallucination of the daughter and the male protagonist.
5. bug
If 1408 can repeat that one hour indefinitely, and if you are a person with an extremely strong spirit, then if you can withstand that hour and endure it infinitely, will you be able to obtain immortality in the sense? Like Groundhog Day, of course this one might be a little more brutal.
