Or was it? Did it conjure this or did his mind conjure it to help him escape? One of the problems, clearly with this plot is that we are unable to separate what the room is doing to Mike from what he might be doing to himself. Of course, this begs the question, why wasn't the room able to stop Mike from torching it? How did Mike break its control? Or was he? Did he ever get out? Is he still there? The first break out scene where he wakes up again on the beach and then in the hospital in California leading to the only scene in the film that seemed really worthy of the film's hype-the Post Office break down that led him back into the room, proved the room was capable of conjuring incredible things in his mind. Why? What's with this? Is this evidence for or against the idea that the room really does nothing, it just plays with your mind? Is that what the room is really doing? After all, the room looks perfectly fine in the end-prior to being Molotov cocktailed anyway. Third, what's with the electronic, Disney's® Haunted Mansion ghosts? And, when both the lamp and the female ghost reached close to smashing into the ground, they electronically dissipated. I guess we are just supposed to figure it out. So what? Does this prove that Mike's experience was real? Was he really visited by the ghost of his daughter? Does that mean that everything that happened to him was real? Was it real? Were just the ghosts real? Who knows. Ok, so he pulls out the microcassette recorder-do people still use these instead of iPods?-and plays back the tape-is a microcasette recorder an electronic device? just checking re earlier question-and Lily hears her dead daughter's voice on the tape. Who in their right mind wouldn't have thrown that out already? Back when he was recuperating. Apparently, Mike has decided to move back to New York? Lily wants to toss out his stuff that smells like smoke, but Mike wants a final look at the stuff.
Ok, second, the ending was a major let down.
In any case, regardless of the inconsistencies about whether electronic things can or cannot work, I want to know how Lily knew to show up? How'd she even know Mike was in the city? In which case, it could probably disable the electronic door lock. And yet, the television seems to work? Or does it? If the room can control everything, it can control everything. If you would prefer to read the regular review, please click here.įirst, a question.did I fall asleep and miss how is was that Mike's wife suddenly knew to come to the hotel? Was he really talking to her on his wireless computer in a hotel room we know doesn't allow electronics to function? That's what Gerald Olin tells us in explanation as to why the hotel room uses an old-fashioned key. You have reached a brief spoiler for the film 1408.
