The ending scene is more likely to cause different understandings, and the director does not tell the story well

It was the moment when baby doll closed his eyes, sweet pea got on the bus and went to heaven ("paradise xxx" written on the street sign), seeing that the tone was the third layer of imagination, the manager also shouted "she has gone. ”, and baby doll said that this is the story of sweet pea. It is easy to understand that baby doll and sweet pea are different personalities of the same person. Anyway, my understanding at the time was that baby doll chose surgery to remove the frontal lobe and left the real life. In his own spiritual world, the corresponding sweet pea went to paradise.
I think it is too difficult for the director to tell a good story. Those eccentric imaginations on the third floor are more eye-catching, but they are also too distracting. If there were more first floor (realistic mental hospital) and third Direct interaction on the second level (an imaginary nightclub) is fine.
After reading some comments and thinking about it for a long time, according to my current understanding, this is not a story about a framed loli escaping from birth, nor a story about a split personality overcoming the self and returning to normal. In fact, it is a story about being framed A story of self-sacrifice by Loli in a mental hospital to help some girls who were molested (who may have some mental problems) to escape.
There are basically three levels in the movie, which basically reach a consensus. L1 is a real mental hospital, L2 is a nightclub, and L3 is a variety of fighting worlds. The other three girls such as baby doll, sweet pea and rocket should be real. All five have appeared on the first level.
In reality, baby doll was framed by his stepfather and sent to a mental hospital, rescued Rocket, in order to escape and rescue the girls who were violated, conspired to find map, fire, knife, and key to escape, when the movie began to enter the third level. The old man said to be strong, in fact, the baby doll had the courage to dedicate himself to seduce the cook, the guard, the manager and others, and then let the other girls take this opportunity to steal those props, which corresponds to the second level of dancing to seduce those people. In the end, only sweet pea escaped. , and baby doll was caught and had a prefrontal lobe removed to cover herself (as can be seen from the bloody surgical instruments).
Regarding the three girls who were killed in the second level, that is, in the nightclub, there was no mention of being killed in the first level. In fact, this can easily be understood as the explanation of the disappearance of the three personalities, but since the reality has already Appeared, I think for the time being that the three people encountered the experience of being detained or subjected to surgery and so on.
The third level, except for the last paragraph I mentioned earlier, is basically the battle scene, which corresponds to the exaggerated performance of the baby doll's devotion in reality. The better it looks, the more painful the baby doll is in reality. I don't have much interest and appetite... sigh
Generally speaking, a good story is stunned by the director's splendid meal. There are many plots worth scrutinizing, and many plots can be justified no matter which interpretation is used, I don't think there is an audience for this one. The key to the concept of who is right and who is wrong is that the director's story is a bit messy and logically ambiguous. The director ignores that the most basic thing of the movie is to tell the public a good story clearly, and it is really tiring to read the comments and understand the plot. what..........

  • Dr. Vera Gorski: It's like we talked about, you control this world. Let the pain go, let the hurt go, let the guilt go. What you are imagining right now, that world you control. That place can be as real as any pain.

  • Sweet Pea: [after Babydoll has danced for the first time] All that gyrating and moaning... a dance should be about more than titillation. Mine is personal, it says who I am. What the heck does yours say?
