13 years later, second look at 1408

Today I watched it alone, and the male ticket was like Xiaobai. When I saw it was a psychological thriller, I immediately ducked aside and didn't even watch it.

I remember when I was in high school, I bought this DVD and watched it at home alone. I was terrified when I saw it, but I still can't forget it. Now I understand what a psychological thriller is: I walked along the side of the building on the 14th floor and walked out the window, but suddenly found that I couldn’t see another person’s window, I lost the courage to walk down, and almost fell off the high floor; Trapped in a dream; found a 60-minute cycle, and continued to repeat the thing that I regret most endlessly... The film does not have too many scary elements, but it is scary enough, an old film from 2007, today's No. 1 After a second look, I found some bugs. The funny thing is that I found out how the ending I watched today is different from before. It used to be considered a happy ending: the male protagonist did not die. But today I saw that the male protagonist died too, so I thought I had misremembered the ending. Later, when I checked online, I found out that the male protagonist in the book was dead, so the home DVDs abroad at that time were all the endings in the book, which is the online DVD I watched today. But when the film was released, the director and king discussed that the ending of the original version was too dark, so they changed the ending. In China, I watched the gun version at the time, so the ending was adapted. Very interesting, it turns out that many details of the film will be forgotten, but it is difficult to blur whether the ending is good or bad.

PS, as a 1/3 fan of Stephen King, this short story is actually quite exciting. Of course, the only thing I really like is The Shawshank Redemption (the top three movies in my mind so far. If you haven't seen it, you must watch it!), and the second is the Green mile Very good!) In the past, my mother liked to read his novels, and I bought a lot of his novels at home. She is indeed a great novelist. I also like pet cemeteries, but unfortunately the movie really undercut his works.

    There are new ideas, but there are too many numbers that are not seen, John Cusack is still great!
