In the movie, he must go through the layers of Hell in order to reach Purgatory so he can climb the Divine Ladder to overcome each of the 7 deadly sins in order to reach his state of bliss in Paradise. Mike has carried his sins with him into Hell and will now be tormented by them. It is said in ancient mythology that a man who carries evil with him into death will be tormented by that evil, but a man who carries good with him will inherit a state of bliss. The room 1408 is Mike's personal Hell-the start of the second level-and anytime he is outside the room he is in Limbo. Gerald says those who enter only last an hour the deeper meaning behind this is that time has no relevance since they will continue to live this "hour" for the rest of eternity. So what does that make the room, itself? In Dante's Inferno, the second circle is considered to be Hell proper-where punishment begins. Mike is already in Limbo, he is living a life that isn't horrible but is not progressing. Jackson's character Gerald Olin is Virgil. No one is making Dante or Mike move forward into Hell, except for themselves. Similarly, Mike is warned multiple times not to enter into room 1408, but he is seduced by his hatred of God and goes in anyway.
ROOM NO 1408 FULL MOVIE MOVIE
Night Shyamalan Movie 'Old' Will Be About Dante is warned not to move further into Hell, but he is enticed by his own sin to move forward into the first layer of Hell (Limbo). In the story of Dante's Inferno, Dante awakens and is met by Virgil-his guide through Hell sent by Beatrice, the symbol of Divine Love (in the movie Beatrice could be Mike's daughter). 1408 is about Mike's journey through the 9 layers of Hell and the 7 layers of Purgatory in an attempt to reach Paradise while simultaneously dealing with the 7 stages of grief. The story follows Mike Enslin-a writer separated from his wife after losing his daughter to cancer who now seeks to debunk all stories of haunted locations in order to prove that there is no God or afterlife.
This movie is clearly a spin on The Divine Comedy and tells a modern tale of Dante traversing through Inferno, Purgatorio, and Paradiso (or Hell, Purgatory, and Paradise). 1408 is a psychological horror film made in 2007 that is more concerned with ideas and thoughts than lousy jump scares. King himself said this was his favorite adaptation of his work. The Shining may be the more popular of the two stories, but 1408 is equally as fascinating. Maybe that's why Stephen King enjoys writing about them so much.
