Ask for What You Want: Analysis of the relationship between the creator and the created and the ending of the film

I think the 30 minutes after the film should be interpreted like this:

All the turning points are because the heroine came home and was seen by the virtual person when she was close to the heroine, so the virtual person also wanted to possess her own "mother". He ran out of the house without authorization, grabbed the male protagonist's gun, and quickly became an adult. After being discovered by the male protagonist, the male protagonist stepped forward to fight, and the female protagonist was knocked unconscious. The virtual person takes the heroine to the wishing room, creates an external environment (forest + snowman) in the room that is exactly the same as the real world, and builds a house that replicates the real world in the depths of the forest. A virtual "parallel world". After the heroine woke up, the virtual person looked exactly like the heroine. The heroine was tricked into taking her to the "virtual" house in the wishing room in an attempt to rape the heroine. At this time, the real male protagonist was looking for the female protagonist in the real world, and knocked the door of the wishing room with a hammer, trying to save the female protagonist back. After the male and female protagonists merged, in order to confuse the virtual humans, they created a pair of virtual male and female protagonists (the male and female protagonists made a wish when the virtual human was pushed fainted on the steps, because at this time everything is still in the wishing room, the flashing lights in the room suggest This point.) After the virtual person woke up, he was really confused by the fake male and female protagonist. He stabbed the fake male protagonist to death with a knife, but found outside the door that the real male and female protagonist was still running away, so he chased it out. The real man and woman fled to the gate of the house, and the man luring the virtual person out of the house, the virtual person turned old and gray (read it several times, this is the virtual person really dead and gone.) Ironically, at the end, the heroine finds that she is pregnant. Children with virtual humans, because according to the setting of the plot, all the characters or things created in the "wish room" will survive unless the creator is dead. In view of the fact that the virtual person raped the heroine in the wishing room, he died and the child became a real free man. This detail makes the plot full of irony.

Originally, I thought that the ending of the play was here, but after discussing with my friends, the result was yes, no! ! ! In fact, when the virtual person is chasing the male and female protagonist, it also duplicates one or countless selves, so although the virtual human 1.0 disappears in smoke, as long as the male and female protagonist returns to the room, the virtual human 2.0 appears immediately. In this month, When the male and female lead returned to the room, they were controlled by the virtual person 2.0. Perhaps they were forced to return to the wishing room. This can also explain why there is still a forest near the hotel where the male and female lead appears afterwards. This is in the wishing room! Virtual human 2.0 forces the heroine to give birth to evil species, just to test whether he is fertile, and whether he is a "man" in the true sense. Facts have proved that he is fertile because the heroine is pregnant. After Virtual Human 1.0 was pushed out of the door by the heroine and died, Virtual Human 2.0 (his "recreation of nature") certainly survived, because his creator was already dead. I think this is the main theme of the film: people can never escape the room of their desires. After people's material desires are fully satisfied, their spiritual needs are hard to fill, especially the desire to be loved and recognized, which can never be satisfied. The male and female masters eventually become slaves and puppets of selfish desires. This is indeed what they asked for (this is a pun, meaning that the male and female masters are self-sufficient.) Why does the light flicker at the end? It also implies that they did not escape the room. At this time, the hostess may have made a wish: she hopes that the child will not be born, or die at birth.

In summary, the plot setting is invincible and strict, and the screenwriter’s brains are peculiar. The film confirms what John Donne (with the same name as the 17th-century British metaphysical poet) said before in the play: Nietzsche said that in order to gain true freedom, one must first kill his creator, which is to declare God (Creator )'S death. However, the result of playing God is always dangerous and unimaginable, which is reminiscent of Frankenstein of Mary Shelley.

    How terrible is the lack of imagination. The same idea as , aside from the pressure of the secular world, what can human life be like? The room gets the answers to the unsolved mysteries of the world, the method to solve the world's problems, as long as it is not a real object, you can read it and learn it, and then make money in another way.... Stupid composition, novel creation, copyright tax.

    This room fulfilled my fantasies. Really good idea. However, it is small when it falls in Oedipus complex and the dove occupies the magpie's nest.
