The film "Deadly ID" tells the story of a person's spiritual struggle from the perspective of psychoanalysis and psychology.

A man named Malcolm suffered from severe mental trauma as a child, which split his mind, resulting in multiple personalities, making him "multiple personality syndrome". The psychiatrist uses drug treatment to force all his personalities to collide with each other, resulting in violence. With the violence, the number of personalities will decrease, and the one who committed the murder controls his current body. So the psychiatrist made his personalities fight against each other again, and the one who committed the murder had to fight and die so that Malcolm could be cleared of his crime.

Malcolm's personality is split into ten people, a family, a couple, and a 7- or 8-year-old son; an actress and her bodyguard; a policeman; a man who pretends to be a hotel manager; a young couple who just got married ; a prostitute who wants to go back to the farm to manage the orange grove. These ten people were trapped in a stormy station hotel. They can only stay in hotels and get their house numbers from 1 to 10.

The appearances of these people are all arranged by means of montage. The film begins with a psychiatrist looking up information about Malcolm's murder, and then switches to a hearing after two lawyers talk on the phone. Then the camera flashes to a stormy hotel and a man, and just as he is watching TV, the hotel door is opened to reveal a husband and his severely injured wife; then from his anxious face Back when they were driving on the road, they heard the announcement of the typhoon on the radio, and the tire was punctured by a high-heeled shoe; then it was narrated that the high-heeled shoe was accidentally left on the road by a prostitute; when the husband was repairing the car , The wife was hit by an RV because she said hello to her son and stood out of the road center; the camera entered the situation in the car again, an actress was talking on the phone, the battery was dead, and the driver asked the driver to help her find it. Just at this moment, the car stopped hit someone. In this side-by-side chain of interlocking supplementary appearances, the film's producers used a montage technique to make the appearances of these people seem very natural and thoughtful - this gathering and struggle of personalities is the unavoidable. But in our life, there will be many accidental things, in fact, there is inevitability.

    First of all, I complained about Viking, who ranked No. 1 in the hot comment list. The first time I saw your short comment, I was spoiled, which made me less interested when I watched it. Fortunately, the second time I watched it, my mentality was adjusted. This movie is really well done. It often gives the audience an illusion of how the plot will go. For example, when the plot is inserted into the court trial, it is easy to think that it is a flashback between the flashback and the sequence, but I didn't expect this. It is the intersection of reality and fantasy. The director knows how to expand the focus of psychological problems to the greatest extent, and at the same time combines elements of suspense, crime, thriller, etc., to increase its entertainment and enrich the story. Schizophrenia (material) + Blizzard Villa (narrative method) + After the story is over, there will be a small clip to reverse the ending. Although it is slightly out of the way, it is not difficult to see that the director and screenwriter have fully grasped the various routines of the genre film. PS, looking at films such as "Joker", "Split" and "Deadly ID", all doctors who try to treat mentally ill patients die. And the method of death is the same, being strangled.

    Before reading it, I read the comments and said don't guess the murderer because you can't guess it, so I obediently didn't guess it. I doubted anyone and immediately denied myself because I felt that the screenwriter would definitely come and slap me in the face. Shit who it was in the end! Originally thought it was a god-level logic film, but it turned out to be a split personality, and it is not scary in an instant →_→
