At the end of "1408", it is also about hallucinations. It was the manager who was addicted to the wine, so that the writer had hallucinations, and the shadow in his heart was the guilt of the child, and he came out to torture him at this time. Human subconsciousness, as well as human conscience, are hidden secrets of human beings. No matter how you try to drown it, it has been lurking all the time. When you are vulnerable, it will attack and settle accounts with you. Therefore, people say that the most difficult thing for a person to overcome is yourself, or you cannot be defeated by others, you can only be defeated by yourself.
Staying in a hotel alone is always a little scary. It’s best to curl up in the quilt and not come out. When the TV turns, don’t let me see horror movies. And the writers in the movie put it this way: "A hotel room is a scary place, isn't it? I mean, how many people were in that bed before you? How many of them were infected? Sick? How many people are insane? How many people might want to hang themselves in the closet next to the TV after reading the last few lines of the Bible in the drawer of the bedside table next to them?" In other words, there is distrust and anxiety about others. Lack of mutual trust is also a common problem of modern people. Isn't it scary that people are face to face and don't feel trusted.
Of course, here we have no chance to face each other, here, as always, we are afraid of the unknown. The hotel is just such a place where there are so many stories coming and going, but we don’t know it. Every new tenant, facing the seemingly same room decoration, can only secretly guess the story behind it. The more you think about it, the more afraid you become. Inner demons are like Pandora's box, you are thinking of others, but detour yourself into it. Xu Ruoxuan told the story that she ran into a ghost in a hotel in Japan, so you see, ghost stories in hotels are nothing new.
Stephen King's placement of the story in such a location is indeed well-founded.
No matter how many apparitions the writer in the movie saw—the ones he found in the archives, the ghosts who once died in this room, the one that shocked him the most, the one that haunted him the most, or his little daughter Katie, It was not until the daughter in his arms turned into dust that he finally collapsed completely and decided to die with this sinful room. He wanted to burn himself to death, but he saved himself. This route is not uncommon. The bell still needs to be tied to the bell. You have to dare to face it, dare to act, and dare to give up. Remember Zweig said, writing should be willing to give up. Gained by giving up. The writer in the film saves himself by deciding to lay down his life.
Of course, this movie is mainly for everyone to get a visual horror effect, not to be reasonable, but I was really not frightened, probably because my expectations were high, and I felt that there was a lack of fresh design. The most terrifying part is that the writer climbed out of the window and tried to climb along the wall to the next door, only to find that the wall has no end, and behind him is the high altitude of the 14th floor. If you put this situation in, your legs will become weak and your palms will sweat. Terrible is terrifying when there is no hope at all—everything without hope is terrifying. If there is no hope, people will have no meaning to live, right? This is the most terrifying. As for the others, such as a few paintings on the wall, I thought the director could play a role, but it did not produce much fear, such as people falling from the paintings, demanding their lives, and so on, only that water came true Yes, but not turbulent enough.
Basically, the lethality of this writer's hallucination is still very light. If you can learn to scare us from everyday things like the Japanese, it may be more memorable. For example, after watching the bell, I was afraid of going to the well, and I was also afraid of TV. But this movie doesn't seem to have it. Most likely, the next time I stay in a hotel, I probably won't dare to move around, or maybe I can't sleep because I'm too nervous.
People are afraid of being frightened, and the most fearful thing is to frighten themselves.
