死魂盒

与之前的驱魔类电影相比，除了少的可怜的几个特效镜头，貌似还与点创意之外，就很乏善可陈了。

女主角那么小，还要卖尖叫、卖表情、卖性感真是很难为她了，男主角与他离婚的老婆充当二逼配角，老婆新男友纯打酱油。。。

情节已很，编排老套，真不知道这电影出来的目的是搞什么啊？

所谓的真实事件也没什么劲爆的吸引力。。。。

弄的嘴里飞蛾子，难道是沉默羔羊里的野牛比尔附体了？

好，看完了，我们来分析分析，首先从物理方面讲这个盒子里是一小团零碎的破垃圾，从另一个维度来讲，里面住了个鬼。

谁开了这盲盒就会被鬼附身，但是鬼附身后想干嘛？

除了馋别人身子好像也没什么其他的社会负面影响，当然了，占别人身子本身也不太道德。

场面既不吓人，也不壮观，还不如国产的恐怖片呢，至少还假模假样的给观众整点悬念。

驱鬼片我们看了这么多林正英，那多带感啊，这部影片就连高潮部分驱鬼都驱的这么淡定，一点炸裂场面都没，差评。

导演这么黑犹太人，估计仇不小，基本上就是表述犹太人就是寄生虫？

最后提醒大家一句，有些盲盒不那么健康，能不拆就别拆。

2012年，恐怖惊悚驱魔电影《死魂盒 | The Possession》其实从海报上看就有点《驱魔人》的感觉，不过想超越驱魔人真的比较难。

拍得也中规中矩，剧情也相对老套了。

一惊一乍那是必须的。。

美国国旗+黑人老师被丢出去那段是不是。。

有点别的意思呢？

还是不太喜欢这样的电影加入奇怪的东西。。

开始吐槽：1、其实小萝莉演的挺好的，电影里这个小女孩看上去非常招人讨厌啊，真想掐死她呢。。。

2、看驱魔电影学驱魔也是比较少见的。。

3、这里的恶灵也确实有点过于NB了，夸张点说，多几个这样的恶灵美国灭了都有可能。。

4、恶灵的名字叫：UP主。。。

哈哈太出戏了。

5、核磁共振可以扫到“鬼”，这是高科技啊。

6、最后小女儿，蜘蛛侠一样的出场姿势吊炸天。

7、我想说后爹真惨，你说虐不虐，虐死了。

8、最后好恶意，不过已经猜到了。

好人没好报。

---我是盒子分界线推荐指数：★★★（6/10分），中规中矩，只是觉得小演员好犀利，这个题材很难再突破也是很正常的。

老美的片子始终都在讲一个问题——家庭。

无论外面包裹着怎么样的“壳”，内里的“核”都是一样的。

举例来说， “行尸走肉”这样的僵尸片都满是在探讨家庭问题的分支情节。

这一点洒家很佩服，这样的电影才是真正有人性的。

很多影评在吐槽——先是说老套，然后说雷同，说不给力，说驱魔太无新意……从洒家个人浅薄的知识和常识来看，这样的吐槽才是应该被吐槽的。

首先说“驱魔”。

宗教不是玩创意，仪式、流程都是有一些定势的，大部分与宗教有关的恐怖电影里交代得很清楚，无非是圣经、十字架、圣水三大件（偶有部分描写伏都教等教派的片子里稍有不同）。

死魂盒里除了犹太教的经书，能封印恶灵的盒子也是主要道具之一。

既然都是恶灵附体，在相近的宗教背景下，采取近似的手法才是正确的方式。

（难不成学香港武侠片，让犹太教的小伙子坐在姑娘身后，双掌抵住肩胛，姑娘头冒青烟？

）况且，击碎死魂盒镜子，得到死灵的真名，进而用振聋发聩的呼喊将之召回盒中的桥段，也是颇为震撼的，至少沉浸在剧情中的洒家起了一身的鸡皮疙瘩。

其次说“家庭”。

离婚是当今婚姻世界的一大痛楚。

2012年5月的数据显示，美国的离婚率高达50%。

所以，那些说美国影视剧父母总是离婚的人请闭嘴好么？！

也正是离婚的设定，才给了电影更为合理的铺垫：买旧家具、少人居住的社区、父母之间父女之间累积的矛盾，以及后来的“申请保护令”……家庭其实是一个很微妙的“平衡品”，一点看似很小的矛盾和问题，都可能打破那份平衡，夫妻之间的信任、长幼之间的关爱，有时候并没有想象中那么牢固。

何况这样的问题发生在已经因为父母正式离婚而濒临关系崩溃的一个“家庭”身上，几乎就是压塌骆驼的最后一根稻草了。

再说说“作祟”。

有人觉得这个恶灵不给力，既没整死几个人物，在能力上也是弱爆了。

洒家却觉得诸位都是血淋淋的僵尸片看得太多的缘故，并且没有学会在看片时割断横向联系——恶灵“阿比苏”同志的最终目的就是“重生”。

重生时如果不能避人耳目或者于人迹罕至处，只怕有点宗教意识的都会喊来神职人员驱魔，所以在前期，恶灵的一切所作所为都是为了让被附身者众叛亲离。

请仔细回想一下影片中第一个受害者：独居老太的生活状态，是不是形影相吊？

从这个家庭来看，母亲堕入爱河，纵然喜爱孩子都会分心；姐姐年长几岁，正是青春叛逆与家庭渐行渐远的时期；和小女儿关系最近的最亲的，唯有父亲。

因而，这个恶灵的诸多恶行中，绝大部分是冲着父亲去的，并且试图完全割裂父亲对女儿的爱，从而让它的重生过程更安全。

与此同时，恶灵又不可避免地与小女孩的生命和记忆产生着一定的融合，至少在它完全重生之前，还不会真正夺取女孩的心智，对“准继父”的伤害，或者就是源于此。

洒家想，大概是绝大多数评论者还未为人父母吧——我们无需用孩子入魔这样的桥段来代入，只要想一想亲戚朋友的孩子意外受伤的真实事件——洒家的一位朋友的孩子摔跤致胫骨骨裂，一个月之内不能下地，她家人就这样轮流抱了孩子一个月——想象一下那种身体和精神上的双重煎熬吧！

对于一个刚刚学会走路孩子，对于怀胎十月的母亲……最后说“驱魔”。

犹太教小哥最后横死，其实说明的是恶灵只是被封印而非消灭，面对克制其能力的、得知其真名的驱魔者，恶灵选择的是避其锋芒式的迂回，再用利用诅咒取其性命。

下一个寄主可不一定有足够顽强的意志力和认得波兰语的朋友。

说实话米国人民的恐怖片情节都大同小异，完全是好奇害死猫的模式，主题就是不要随便走进不熟悉的地方或者打开不熟悉的东西阴森背景外加特技效果，还有就是恶灵最后还是会出来继续害人的不过那些蛾子真的达到了吓人的效果

标题就已经够说明问题了吧o(︶︿︶)o 偶尔的恐怖气氛营造得还将就，驱魔部分较短。

看恐怖片还是得在空旷安静的地方才行，黑暗、凉飕飕的感觉，或者带个耳机。。。

昨天儿子聚精会神的看着一部电脑，我就走过去拍打了他一下，把他吓的够呛，原来他正在说恐怖电影《死魂盒》我也坐下来和他一起看，当小女孩总是干呕，但什么也吐不出来，用手扣也没有用，她就拿小手电筒看她的喉咙，这时的音乐已经有点气氛了，感觉要有事发生，她看到了喉咙里有一只手伸出来，但当她第二次再看的时候又没有了，小女孩开始不安，她不知道自己究竟是谁？

她的亲爸发现了她的不对劲，就去寻找原因，原来女儿是让魔鬼控制了，他开始自学如何驱鬼，当他再来看女儿的时候，趁着女儿熟睡，他开始按照学习的方法读咒语，潜伏在女孩身体里的魔鬼感觉到了，开始生气，亲爸手里的书开始快速的翻页，最后整本书被甩了出去，亲爸就对着眼前的人问：“你是谁？

”这是妈妈走了进里，看到亲爸在对女孩吼，不明所以就把亲爸赶了出去，接下来魔鬼不断出现，让妈妈开始怀疑，就带她去医院查看，当她看到女孩体内有个魔鬼的时候彻底蒙了，亲爸再次出现，还带来了一个神父，驱魔就次开始。

整个影片吓人的地方不是很多，但音乐配的不错，剧情稍显老旧，但这里的亲妈真的是让人感动，他不断的对魔鬼说，放过他的孩子，让它来找他。

影片最后即让人感动，也有点让人好笑，就是魔鬼竟然是被神父从亲爸身体里吼出来，又一步一步吼着让它爬进盒里子里，感觉有点尴尬。

这里值得说一下，女孩的表演真的很棒。

Maybe mischievous spirits do haunt this Jewish scroll cabinet, or maybe it's just another Web-spawned legend run wild.July 25, 2004|Leslie Gornstein | Special to The TimesA small wooden cabinet went up for auction on EBay. Inside were two locks of hair, one granite slab, one dried rosebud, one goblet, two wheat pennies, one candlestick and, allegedly, one "dibbuk," a kind of spirit popular in Yiddish folklore.The seller, a Missouri college student named Iosif Nietzke, described the container as a "haunted Jewish wine cabinet box" that had plagued several owners with rotten luck and a spate of bizarre paranormal stunts."We have definitely seen a tidal wave of 'bad luck,' " the seller wrote on EBay in the first week of February. "Most disturbingly, last Tuesday, my hair began to fall out. I'm in my early 20s and I just got a clean blood test back from the doctor's...."Within days, the box's opening bid of $1 jumped to $50; that value soon quadrupled. On Feb. 9, the box sold for $280 to a university museum curator named Jason Haxton.In the months after, the hype surrounding the wooden box has mushroomed. The Forward, a 107-year-old Jewish newspaper on the East Coast, ran a story about the box's sale and supposed otherworldly powers. Since then, the EBay auction page has logged more than 140,000 hits.At least five authors, one screenwriter and a documentary crew have sought up-close access, says Haxton, a 46-year-old father of two who also lives in Missouri. Rabbis, Orthodox Jews and Hebrew intellectuals have contacted Haxton, offering to crack the box's mysteries.Haxton says he's had to unlist his home number, change his e-mail address and erect a website, www.dibbukbox.com, just to field inquiries. He agreed to be interviewed only if he could add this request: Please, please, box fans, leave him alone.The strange case of the bogey in a box is threatening to become an urban legend as big as any ghostly hitchhiker, fried rat or stolen body part. In Chicago, Bull basketball fans have paused their online arguments over salary caps to post theories on what's in the box. Ditto with newsgroups usually dedicated to Subaru ownership or NASCAR tickets. In Long Island, a group of particularly dedicated ghost hunters has founded a Yahoo chat group dedicated solely to the box.All the while, dozens of Web surfers have e-mailed Haxton through his website, complaining of strange headaches, nightmares and other plagues."One person pleaded with me to get all images of the box off the Internet because they would provide an electronic portal for the spirit into every computer that visited the site," he says.Most often, discussions of dybbuks (as it is more commonly spelled) are accompanied by plenty of snorting skepticism -- "I think I'm going to put my haunted Game Cube on EBay," one Texan recently posted -- but the number of those fascinated with the little wooden box continues to climb.The reason, experts say, is tied to a witch's brew of trends and developments unique to the new millennium: A booming blog culture; a growing interest in Jewish mysticism, particularly cabala; and high-speed Internet connections that allow photos to be downloaded onto countless home computers.Dybbuks have haunted Yiddish folk tales since the dawn of Judaism's mystical movement in the latter half of the 16th century. "Dybbuk" literally means "an attachment, a cleaving to something"; a dybbuk is thought to be the spirit of a person who, instead of drifting into the next realm, sticks around and enters the bodies of living people."It's essentially a kook subject," muses Rabbi Eli Schochet, a professor of rabbinic thought at L.A.'s Academy for Jewish Religion, which trains rabbis and cantors. "But I could never say that it's impossible because, obviously, there's precedent for these things that are recorded in different religious traditions, including my own."The EBay auction page (still viewable on Haxton's website) claims to document experiences from two previous owners, told in the first person and pasted back to back in the item's description space.The tale, according to the site, began in fall 2001, when Oregon antiques collector and small-business owner Kevin Mannis discovered the box -- smaller than a case of beer, decorated with two metal plates in the shape of grape clusters -- at a neighborhood estate sale. (Mannis later told The Times he bought the box in 2000, but so much bad fortune befell him in that first year that he didn't want to tell potential buyers about it.)Mannis said the estate sale's host told him that the box had belonged to her 103-year-old grandmother, who had dubbed the cabinet a "dybbuk box" and warned her kids ... never to open it.Heedless of this spooky back story, Mannis bought the box and put it in the basement of his antiques business. A half-hour after the box arrived, the creepiness, as he describes it, began: While Mannis ran a few errands, a mysterious force apparently went berserk in his shop, cursing and smashing light bulbs and scaring a store clerk."When I got back to the shop, I went to investigate," Mannis says from his Oregon home. "I remember heading toward the back and walking into what I can only describe as a wall of scent. It smelled like jasmine flowers. You could take one more step and not smell a thing, and take a step backward and be surrounded by it again."Later, he says, when he gave the box to his mother as a gift, she suffered a stroke that temporarily left her unable to speak. She penned the tersely scrawled admonishment "hate gift" and Mannis has not discussed the object with her since, he says. The FBI then raided Mannis' shop, he says, hauling out loads of electronic equipment. He got his stuff back but says he never got an explanation for the raid. Add to his list of woes that he lost his shop lease and was a victim of identity theft."All of this stuff has an explanation that doesn't necessarily point to this box," Mannis muses. "But when you take everything together, it becomes such a weird coincidence."The 'curse' changes handsBY June 2003, Mannis had had enough and posted the box on EBay. The high bidder was Nietzke, who, for $140, got the box, contents and -- presumably -- its ectoplasmic squatter. (Repeated attempts to reach Nietzke have been unsuccessful.)Nietzke's alleged experiences, which are also posted on EBay -- included strange odors in his house, a bug infestation, malfunctioning electronic devices and "sort of like large, vertical, dark blurs in my peripheral vision."Haxton, the college museum director who collects religious paraphernalia, says by phone that he first heard about the box last year through a student employee at his museum -- who is also Nietzke's roommate.When Nietzke posted the box for sale, Haxton went for it. The day after it arrived in his office, Haxton says, "I woke up with my right eye looking like it had been poked." Other afflictions arrived, including fatigue, a metallic taste in his mouth and constant nasal congestion and a cough. Around the house, Haxton says he occasionally smells the signature odors of cat urine and flowers.Haxton has been aided by Rebecca Edery, an Orthodox Jewish bookkeeper who lives in Brooklyn and whose father studied cabala. It was Edery who helped uncover the purpose of the box. "The two doors on the outside open up just like the Holy Closet," or Aron HaKodesh, a receptacle for Torah scrolls, Edery says. "And I saw round, metal hoops on the inside of the doors that would hold scrolls. This particular size is used when going to comfort the family of the deceased."Edery says she is convinced the box was sacred and had been intentionally stuffed with some sort of spirit. "This was done deliberately, for a specific purpose." She believes that to put an end to the misfortunes, the box needs a formal Jewish burial involving a 10-man minyan, or prayer group.For his part, Haxton says he wants to follow the box back to its origins. Then, he says, he might create a replica and bury the original. "To me this is a historical puzzle," he says. "It came from somewhere. It was made for a reason. What is it and why is it?"Room for doubt on either sideResearchers and religious scholars say that, sure, the box contains items that could have served as fetishes or tokens to a family, Jewish or otherwise. Pennies and locks of hair fall under the common fetish territory, says Bill Ellis, a fetish researcher and American studies professor at Penn State University."It was not uncommon for people to hunt through their change and, when they found the birth date of a child, to put that aside as a life token of the child," Ellis says. "You also have two locks of hair. That is a very common tradition, especially for preserving a keepsake of a dead family member. These things would incorporate a memory or some part of a life spirit."But the tale also contains a parade of red flags that point to a possible hoax.For one thing, Schochet points out that most dybbuk tales have the ghost coming back to convey some sort of message, but "there is nothing to explain why this particular box is inhabited."Elliott Oring, an anthropology professor and folklore specialist at Cal State L.A., also has his doubts. "Go through [the story and] you will see areas that seem to require suspending critical functions. There is too much piling on of incidents.... Why wasn't it simply disposed of?"So if there's no proof a dybbuk exists, why is the box so fascinating?"We embrace such stories because they tap into our own fears and prejudices," says Allan S. Mott, author of "Urban Legends: Strange Stories Behind Modern Myths.""The dybbuk story taps into our belief that out in the world there is a supernatural evil that will attack anyone regardless of how good they are. They allow people to make some sense of a chaotic world."The story also benefits from the credibility lent to it by a mainstream site such as EBay, says Jan Harold Brunvand, author of the coming "Be Afraid, Be Very Afraid: The Book of Scary Urban Legends."But Brunvand sees a difference in the tale. "The length and detail of the story is unlike most urban legends," he says, "as is the supernatural angle and the first-person narrative. So I would not classify it as a 'normal' urban legend."Perhaps that leaves open a small window of credibility. After all, who doesn't like a good ghost story?"Of course, we realize we could most probably be dealing here with a very elaborate hoax," notes the Rev. Jim Willis, an Arizona minister and author of "The Religion Book: Places, Prophets, Saints and Seers." "I have to say that because I do have my academic reputation to uphold." But, he adds, "if you leave it at that, it takes all the fun away."As his words trail away, a huge picture in his office falls from the wall and crashes to the floor."This is weird," Willis says. "Have I just become a part of an urban legend?"

很中规中矩的恐怖片，没什么亮点，唯一让我感兴趣的是片头那句“基于真实故事改编”so....抄一段维基上面的东西，先放到这里。。。

﹁_﹁http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dybbuk_boxThe dybbuk box, or dibbuk box (Hebrew: קופסת דיבוק, Kufsat Dibbuk), is a wine cabinet which is said to be haunted by a dybbuk. In Jewish folklore, a dybbuk is a restless, usually malicious, spirit believed to be able to haunt and even possess the living. The box achieved recognition when it was auctioned on eBay with an accompanying horror story and is the original inspiration for the 2012 film The Possession.The term "Dybbuk box" was first used by Kevin Mannis as a description in the Item Information for an eBay auction to describe it as the subject of an original story (not the story for the film), detailing supposedly true events which he considered to be related to the box. Mannis, a writer and creative professional by trade, owned a small antiques and furniture refinishing business in Portland, Oregon at the time.[1][2] According to Mannis' story, he bought the box at an estate sale in 2001. It had belonged to a Holocaust survivor of Polish origin, named Havela, who had escaped to Spain prior to her immigration to the United States. Havela purposely sealed a dybbuk inside the box after it contacted her and her friends while performing a seance with a homemade oracle board.[3]On opening the box, Mannis found that it contained two 1920s pennies, a lock of blonde hair bound with cord, a lock of black/brown hair bound with cord, a small statue engraved with the Hebrew word "Shalom", one dried rose bud, a single candle holder with four octopus-shaped legs, and a small, golden wine goblet; all items supposedly used in Jewish folklore to exorcise demons.[3]Numerous owners of the box have reported that strange phenomena accompany it. In his story, Mannis claimed he experienced a series of horrific nightmares shared with other people while they were in possession of the box, or when they stayed at his home while he had it. His mother suffered a stroke on the same day he gave her the box as a birthday present – October 28. Every owner of the box has reported that it smells of cat urine or jasmine flowers[4][5] and nightmares involving an old hag accompany the box.[3] Jason Haxton, Director of the Museum of Osteopathic Medicine in Kirksville, Missouri, had been following blogs regarding the box and bought it. Haxton wrote The Dibbuk Box, and claimed that he subsequently developed strange health problems, including hives, coughing up blood, and "head-to-toe welts". His wife experienced "bloody, weeping, blisters" after coming in contact with clothing he wore during a failed containment attempt. His office also experienced the bursting of light bulbs. Upon removal of the box from the museum, Haxton had locked the box in the back of his truck, parking it at his home in the evening. Haxton experienced nightmares of Hag-like women, not unlike Mannis' claims. The final straw, Haxton claims, happened while he and his son were watching television and his son noticed a black flame-like mass in the room with them. Haxton consulted with Rabbis to try to figure out a way to seal the dybbuk in the box again. Apparently successful, he took the freshly resealed box and hid it at a secret location, which he will not reveal.[6]Skeptic Chris French, head of the Anomalistic Psychology Research Unit at Goldsmiths' College, told an interviewer he believed that the box's owners were "already primed to be looking out for bad stuff. If you believe you have been cursed, then inevitably you explain the bad stuff that happens in terms of what you perceive to be the cause. Put it like this: I would be happy to own this object."[5]References[edit]^ Kevin Mannis (September 2, 2009). "The Dibbuk Box, A.K.A. The Haunted Jewish Wine Cabinet". Yahoo.

改编自拍卖网站「飘灵盒」交易的真人真事，加上网上言之凿凿指拥有盒子的人都遇上连篇不幸怪事，甚至招来邪灵附体，这些背景都为故事抹上真实却神秘的色彩。

论惊吓度，本片其实不算太恐怖，却诡异十足。

导演利用了盒子的来源和内藏的不祥物品，引起观众的好奇心，再以吓人伎俩营造出诡秘气氛。

有一两场惊吓场面是予人新鲜感的，好像女儿从镜子探究喉咙附着甚么，以及群蛾乱舞的一幕，都让人毛骨悚然。

当然，小演员有说服力的演技帮助不少。

她从对盒子产生好奇，到被邪灵附体，到内心与之抗行，却最终被邪灵征服的变化，都演得入木三分，也给其他演员比下去。

可能「飘灵盒」的来龙去脉根本未被完全破解，所以导演没有在「飘灵盒」的背景上着墨太多，邪灵的背后故事亦没有提及，主线反而集中在主角的家庭问题上。

区区两三幕好像男主角找来专家查出盒上的经文为叮嘱人们不要打开盒子，以及他拿着盒子向犹太教士求救，便完成了解构盒子的秘密。

如此对「飘灵盒」的留白，无疑令故事落入了亡灵无原无故找宿主而害人的俗套里，令整体有欠圆满，关于盒子的部份亦不够厚实。

离异夫妇各自适应了新生活，大女儿踏入反叛期，只有小女儿依然心存父母复合的希望。

导演挑选这样的家庭故事作主线是正确的，毕竟如此家庭结构不难发现在现代人身上，让有类同经历者容易代入主角一家产生共鸣。

再者，以「家」为本片的中心思想，很能对应邪灵找宿主的动机。

邪灵的「家」不就是人类的身体吗 ? 邪灵的「家」由一个宿主到另一个宿主，飘泊不定，亦孤苦伶仃，对比出很多人有大好家庭，却往往没有加以珍惜。

如此在恐怖中带点伦理课题，让观众在紧张气氛中得到喘息的机会。

不过，不得不说的是，驱魔一幕没经过特别设计，司空见惯，驱魔也显得容易，看来恐怖电影发展至今，已难有太大的突破了。

祁佳仕背景资料 : 出自网上拍卖网 ebay原物主的「飘灵匣」(Dibbuk Box)描述其中一位物主的孙女说，在波兰出生的祖母，二战时被送进集中营，全家都死了只有她幸存，逃难到西班牙时遇到这个小木匣，战后祖母带同木匣移居美国，她从不打开这匣子，而且时常以「邪灵恶魔」来称呼它，并要求家人在她死后把木匣陪葬，但因违反犹太东正教习俗而未能实行。

最后，物主孙女将木匣和家居旧杂物一起出让。

2001年，新主人在波特兰俄勒岗州一平民杂货地摊看中了木匣，于是连同一些针线盒等旧物一起买回家，卖方千叮万嘱，不要打开匣门，要放在平常不会接触的地方。

可是，怪异事件又接踵而来；- 妈妈离奇中风，在医院拼命向家人说她讨厌那木匣- 木匣的门不能紧闭，自动打开- 物主的家人曾代为保管木匣，不约而同曾发同一恶梦- 物主及其朋友皆看见屋内曾有黑影出现- 物主没有养猫，却经常嗅到猫尿味恶臭- 物主带木匣上班，一名同事突然精神失常逃离公司，最后更辞职了2004年的《洛杉矶时报》(Los Angeles Times)记者Leslie Gornstein，揭露拍卖网ebay客户撞邪的事件。

报导指该男子购入「飘灵匣」后，便踫上连串不幸怪事；- 全屋发出奇怪气味- 发生意外一只手指折断- 在汽车引擎内发现多只死老鼠- 家中电子产品每天相继坏掉- 20多岁的物主头发脱落，数天内脱了一半他说每个曾拥有那东西的人都有相同的遭遇！

《洛杉矶时报》的报导吸引了世界各地的超自然/灵体专家的兴趣，那木匣随即被大学博物馆馆长Jason Haxton买入，并且对匣上的古老文字和盒内的对象逐一研究，在犹太宗教文化学者的协助下，一起解开当中秘密如下；产地及生产时期：不详曾被用作储酒匣，内藏以下物品：- 1925及1928美国1分硬币各1个- 用绳绑住的金发及黑发各1小束- 刻有希伯来文的小石碑一块- 干玫瑰花蕾- 金酒杯一个- 蜡烛架一个(仕按 : 电影的结局，会间接道出盒子内放东西的原因。
