      Identity--Unpredictable Storyline with Twists and Turns

      This is a suspense film that begins with a rainy night and a lonely hotel in the desert to exaggerate the typical serial murder environment, and then slowly leads the story to a climax through the mysterious deaths of the characters. The whole film is filled with an atmosphere of horror, and the suspense is closely linked; the murderer is not revealed until the end. John Cusack, who plays the male lead (playing the driver in the film), thinks: "Actually, I consider myself very smart....

      perfect movie

      Everything is an illusion, a result of therapy, a self-integration of the personality, but the doctor's ultimate will is to integrate a man of integrity, a retired police officer. This has been made clear when the movie returns to the end, and the final statement is made. The doctor repeatedly induces the offender, you are ED, you look in the mirror, etc., so the camera switches between the offender and the ED. The doctor thinks that the murder is over, the personality integration is completed,...

      When I was going up the stairs...great sequel~~

      Influenced by the poem Little Man Up the Stairs (the few words whispered by the protagonist at the beginning and end of the film), the latter was written.

      When I was going up the stairs...
      I met a man who wasn't there
      I saw him again the other day
      I wish, I wish he'd go away

      He spoke without words and saw without eyes
      I wasn't for sure if I could believe his lies
      For his lies were truths and his truths were false
      And his end draws near as heaven...

      Multiple Personality Analysis

      On the whole, it feels average, and many meaningful plots have been interpreted as convoluted bridges. The main line is to describe the psychological distortion of a child who was abused by a prostitute mother when he was a child, and the use of split personality is even more novel and attractive. Multiple expressions of multiple personalities make the plot fuller and give the audience more information. However, in terms of the quality of the whole film, it is not enough to have only one bright...

      In general, suspense films with split personalities are quite difficult to deal with the relationship between the split personalities, not to mention that the director actually split one person into nine personalities, which is so awesome. So it's all five stars. I hope that we can also produce a film with split personality in the mainland as soon as...

      In fact, the atmosphere was very successful. The unexpected ending of a normal movie always adds points to the movie, and the ending of this fucking movie is like deliberately playing on the audience's IQ. Well, I admit that I didn't guess who it was. Are you satisfied, director? Fucking good movies get ruined like...

    Behind the scenes gags

    1. The poem that one of the personality claims was written when he was a child "As I was going up the stair/I met a man who wasn't there/He wasn't there again today/I wish, I wish he'd go away "It's actually a poem written by Hughes Mearns.
    2. The book Paris picked up in Ed's car was "Being and Nothingness" by Jean-Paul Sartre.
    3. This is the last film of Frederick....

    Background creation

    This is a suspenseful film. It starts with a rainy night and a lonely hotel in the desert. The typical serial murder environment is heavily rendered, and then the story is slowly led to a climax through the mysterious deaths of the characters. The whole film is filled with an atmosphere of horror, and the suspense is so tight that the murderer is not revealed until the end. John Cusack, who plays the leading actor (the driver in the...

    Evaluation action

    The discussion of human nature is one of the eternal themes of the film. The film may tell us such a truth: the most evil souls often appear the most harmless and hide the deepest.
    Speaking of the movie itself, the suspense is a bit horrible, and there are no particularly brilliant sections, but they are all linked together. It can be said that there is no wasted shot, and the cause and effect can be found in every picture. In this kind...

    Movie quotes

    • Malcolm Rivers: Don't beat around the bush, doc. Don't beat around the bush. Don't beat around the bush. Don't beat around the bush, doc!

    • Paris: [Ed is taking evidence photos] Where were you a cop?

      Ed: Los Angeles.

      Paris: Were you fired or did you quit?

      Ed: I took medical leave. It was making me sick. I burned out, I guess. Wasn't up for it. One day, I got a call for a jumper. A young Mexican girl. Pregnant, infected with AIDS, totally strung-out. She was truly one of the doomed. And I asked her to come in off the ledge and into my arms. She asked me why she should bother living.

      Paris: What did you say?

      Ed: Well I was trained to tell her lots of things. Her dreams and all the people who'd miss her. But for a second, I hesitated. And she saw it. Within that second, I couldn't think of honestly one optimistic thing to say to her. So she spread her arms and jumped. I started getting headaches, and eventually started blacking out. So I filed for medical.

    • George York: [carrying in an injured Alice] She won't stop bleeding. She won't stop bleeding.

      Larry: Jesus. What happened?

      George York: It was an accident. We had an accident.
