When people stay in an enclosed space for a long time, they will collapse, because the confined space will invisibly give people a kind of pressure and fear.
According to the psychological pressure of human beings, the psychological limit of human beings in confined spaces is not more than five days, because there are also many films about confined spaces in film and television works.
Usually this kind of film is indispensable to the exploration of human nature, "Room 8" This suspense thriller short film is a film that expresses human nature and greed, the so-called "Room 8", in fact, is a magical infinite cycle of space, from another point of view, "Room 8" is a confined space.
A prisoner who has just been imprisoned and a mysterious old man are alone in a room, and there is a red box next to the old man, and the prisoner opens the box despite the old man's advice and finds that the space in the box is the space he is in.
In the end, the prisoner is driven by his own desires to try to escape from the prison through the box, but is eventually tried.
The film is only seven minutes long, but what is presented to us is as rich as a two-hour movie, and the old man is not clearly told in the short film, but hinted at by a lens, that is, a drawer of matchboxes, which contain the previous prisoners, who, like the prisoners just now, were tried by the old man.
A short film of just seven minutes, but because of the old man's "next prisoner" has become a short film of infinite reincarnation, such as "Source Code" and "Horror Cruise", but only seven minutes to explain everything, enough to see the director's skills.
The reason why this movie is called "Room 8" is allegorical, the number "8" falls down, that is, the infinite symbol in the mathematical symbol, that is, the meaning of "no boundary", and the name of the movie explains the content of the movie.
The concept used in this short film is also used in Christopher Nolan's film "Antfly", but this short film lacks other storylines and focuses on one thing, giving people a more refined feeling.
Although the film is short, the visual impact is not weak, especially when the prisoner puts his hand into the red box, a huge hand appears on the top of the prisoner's head, the scene is still amazing, and only seven minutes, the director grasps the plot arrangement, and even has a foreshadowing.
At the beginning of the movie, there is a matchbox that is constantly dangling on the table, and then it is held down by a person and thrown into the drawer, and that person is the old man, presumably the previous prisoner in the matchbox.
Stories like this are always fascinating, such as "Horror Cruise" and "Butterfly Effect", both of which are constantly looping in one world, although it seems that "Horror Cruise" and "Butterfly Effect" are under an open environment, but if you change this environment to a box, it is actually the same.
This "Room 8" is also telling us that life is like a small room, and most people imprison themselves in this small room because of their desires and greed. In short, although the sparrow is small and complete, this is still a short film worth watching.
