When you listen carefully, you can read the suffering in the world.
"Deadly ID" presents the factors and self-struggles of DID patients with multiple personality disorder in the form of a suspenseful crime film. Although the film only shows the fighting between the personalities and the sporadic background of the protagonist, it successfully interprets the extreme pain in the real life and spiritual world of McCann's growth. By analyzing 13 personalities, I felt the plight of McCann's real life and the entanglement that always accompanies his heart—hatred, expectation, and forgiveness.
In order to make the analysis clearer, first briefly introduce and divide the 13 types of personalities.
1. The personality of McCann's own character. The general change is from the original body boy McCann to the real hotel owner Larry to the fake hotel owner Larry to the prototype deterioration boy Tim to the driver Ed and the escorted prisoner.
2. Personality generated by fantasies about parents. Mother Personalities: Prostitute Paris, mother Alice, young wife Gianny, and fake police officer Rhode. Father Personality: Ideal stepfather George, fantasy young husband Lou.
3. Dealing with the by-products of society: Caroline, a former actress.
4. There are also real police corpses that were ignored by everyone but also appeared in the motel.
McCann has a total of 13 kinds of personalities, each of which has its own function and meaning, but there is no master personality that has grown and developed all the time. The film uses the thirteen states of the United States as a metaphor to prove this point, and the United States has been divided into thirteen states since the death of the Indians. That is to say, when McCann's main character was desperate when he died, he began to separate, and there was no main character.
Then look at the factors and the order of the appearance of personality.
Among them, the real owner of the motel, Larry1, was formed by McCann in the motel when he was a child. He believes that the motel he lives in every day is his home. time. The little poem that the protagonist recites three times is proof.
When I went upstairs, I ran into someone who wasn't there originally.
He's not there again today, I hope...I hope he's gone.
The character died after the mother went to pick up customers at any time for her lack of care. In the play, the fake boss Larry 2 mentioned that 1 died in the cold pizza. It can allude to the desperation of McCann, who ate cold meals every day in his childhood. In addition, Larry2 also mentioned that after he took over, he froze him and hoped that his family would come to find him, but he didn't. It also hints that after the big change in McCann's personality when he was a child, he expected his mother to notice, but his mother was still indifferent to him and didn't even notice anything.
After Larry 1 died, No. 2 took over. How did Larry2 come to be? At this time, McCann had a deep hatred of his mother's profession and thought about where his father was. From the description of his stepfather George, we can observe one or two. McCann's father ran away from home and had a bad temper. Because the source of 2's image is his father's conjecture, that is, he stayed in a place and never returned home after failing gambling in the casino, and the formation of his character was influenced by his mother's stealing behavior. However, McCann is not confident enough about this character building. He thinks that this should not be his real self, so he is a fake boss who lives in a motel to survive, and is also a living life of McCann's imperfect personality.
The family of three should be the personality of McCann's fantasy of a better life formed after being hurt by his parents. In reality, his poor self and irresponsible parents who were trapped in a motel couldn't let him be alone, so he successively created a good mother, a good stepfather and a happy self, and lived a normal life by himself, the image of Tim. Presumably he should have known the existence of most of his other personalities, so he was only surprised when he saw the two fugitives by the window. And Tim may have also sensed McCann's distress and learned of the doctor's actions, so he actively cooperated with the doctor to kill other personalities. This can be seen in the indifference and mastery of the final Tim murder scene review.
Why did Tim take the initiative to draw his mother out of the car accident in the first place? This is worth exploring. Out of the deepest hatred for his mother, he and his kind-hearted self, Ed, seemingly unintentionally hurt her together. But Tim's disappointment with his parents can be seen after his mother's accident, where his mother is dying in bed and his father is powerless over his mother's injuries. The beautiful family no longer exists. Tim chose to kill his mother's personality, Alice, and let his father's personality sacrifice for him to make up for the lack of fatherly love. From ideal parents, we can see McCann's hopes and dashes for parental care and a better life.
The Newlyweds are McCann's total denial of his own existence when he despairs after suffering. He found the source of his pain, the wrong union of his parents when he was young. So the quarreling parental personalities were created separately, which he identified as the mother's deception of the father. This is presented in the quarrel between lou and Gianny, Gianny uses a fake pregnancy to get a marriage with lou, but immediately finds out that lou does not love himself or even has a tryst with other girls. Lou seems to want to keep the marriage, but disappears completely because of Gianny's refusal. Tim kills the useless or should not exist father personality, but if Gianny opens the door when Lou shouts, the two may not be killed by the weak Tim at all. This also proves again that Gianny is confused and unforgivable as a mother in McCann's heart.
As McCann's body gradually grew, survival required a more normal self. Ed shows up, and McCann projects all the goodness he has left on Ed, who is responsible and a cop. The police seem to have had an impact on McCann's childhood, beginning with the statement that his mother had violated parole rules, and that the police rescued McCann and captured his mother. So the police are the symbols that will save McCann. Excellent positive personality Ed is naturally shaped as a policeman. But why didn't he do it? Ed told Paris that he hesitated in rescuing a pregnant woman with AIDS without thinking about the meaning of survival. As a result, the woman jumped off the building and died. The woman was a bad woman insinuated by her mother, and Ed did not want her to live from the depths of her personality. At the same time, we also see that he himself is also confused about life. This is also the incentive for Ed to sacrifice himself to complete Paris in the end. Ed showed McCann's spirit of yearning for a positive side, but also showed the original sin of hurting his mother and the lack of belief in life.
Ed is then accompanied by the former actress caroline. This personality was created to break down Ed's social pressures. She maintained her last pride and effort after she was over. Therefore, as a companion personality at a critical moment, Car was the first to be eliminated by Tim.
The last to appear is the criminal personality, the fake cop Rhode and the prisoner. This is something Tim hadn't discovered. Among them, the fake policeman is the mother's most evil personality, and the prisoner is his own worst personality. Status symbols can be proven from fake cops tying a prisoner to a motel toilet and beating him. On the way to the motel, Rhode tackles the real cop personality, saying that the image of a cop who controls the evil seeds in McCann's heart is completely shattered. It seems that after many years, the police image has been unable to relieve and control the increase in the bad impression of the mother. To escape, Rhode impersonates the police and controls the prisoner. The two should have faced difficulties together as collaborators, just like mother and son back then, but Rhode hurt the prisoner in return for his own liberation. The prisoner's personality is like the childhood McCann tried his best to escape but could not succeed. Rhode controlled the prisoner again like a claws. Tim hates himself for being powerless even when he turns evil and kills him.
When Paris appeared, it is difficult to prove that she was a mother prostitute and even began to be idealized later. While hating her mother, McCann copied her personality. The prostitute's personality can fully reflect the profound influence of her mother's occupation, and even become an independent personality. But McCann still seems to have fantasies about his mother, and in the end he even thinks she's going to start a new life. At the same time as the hatred for his mother intensifies, a heart of understanding also quietly arises. Although the fake boss expressed his disapproval of the arrival of prostitutes, it could not be stopped. Just like McCann himself does not want to accept the existence of the prostitute's personality but cannot restrain his nature. Paris and Ed, as beautiful images of mother and son, achieved harmonious coexistence. Even Ed, who is a beautiful self-personality, sacrificed himself to fulfill Paris's dream. This is McCann's deep despair of self and unquenchable expectations from his mother.
But in the final analysis, the mother's injury cannot be erased. McCann couldn't bear to become a mother and start a happy life. As a result, Tim's personality reactivated and killed Paris, and he was still unable to free himself from the whirlpool of ego.
