"Identity" is only one and a half hours long, but it is a very successful suspense thriller film.
From the story point of view, it is about the mutual killing between personalities, which is a crazy and bold setting in itself; there are many characters but not chaotic, because each person has an independent scene after leaving the factory to show the relationship between the characters. Relationships and the status of the characters, this kind of scene mostly relies on the generation of conflicts, such as the confrontation between the prostitute and the boss; the confrontation between the driver and the female star, etc. The interlude of the trial scene and the murder scene in the spiritual world should be made clear and the suspense should not be revealed too early. The director used similar weather conditions and only revealed few details to avoid being too clear. In the real world trial In the middle, two clues were given to the murder and the injury of the mother who was a prostitute in childhood, which echoes the serial killings in the spiritual world and the appearance of the role of prostitutes.
In terms of atmosphere creation, the first half relies on the direct impact of the bloody scene; but in the second half, after the dead body disappears, it relies on the step-by-step progress of the script to lead out that this is a case that happened in the spiritual world. The horror atmosphere comes from the story itself.
The beauty of the movie lies in the exquisite design of the script. The real criminal is not noticed in the movie. From the identity to the number of appearances, he does not express his opinions or show fear from the beginning to the end, and even follows the trend in the process.” Suspended death", so it can be successfully ignored. But when the movie comes to the end, the surviving prostitute drives a car back to the orchard in her hometown and wants to start a new life. The unexpected sentence "Whores don't get a second chance." is really a thriller. In the end ah.
When I was going up the stairs
I met a man who wasn't there
He wasn't there again today
I wish I wish he'd go away
This poem echoes the whole story, maybe next time, other personalities hidden in the body will act out another story?
