A brief analysis of the psychoanalytic model in "Deadly ID"

Director James Mangoss paints the inner world of a split personality in a novel way. The reason why a person splits his personality is because of the blows and injuries he has received since childhood, and the people he meets have left an impression in his subconscious, shaping his own personality with a distinct character, starting from the first order of death. Look, you can see which characters are less influential in his subconscious. The female star, the man in the young couple, the prisoner in prison uniform, the cowardly father, mother, and the woman in the young couple, and the child who cheated to death at the same time. From this point of view, the female star is the separation of the hypocritical and despised image in his heart, the young couple is the unhappiness in his love life, the two eloped on impulse, the woman also tricked the man into getting pregnant, the two There is always the possibility of an individual quarrel breaking out. The prisoner wearing the prison uniform is one of the clones of the serial killer in his heart, and the other clone is the fake policeman. It can be seen that the evil forces in the patient's heart are more rampant, and they are strong and have two personalities in the body, and one of them is good at it. Escape and disguise. There is also the child's father and mother in the personality, the mother was killed by playing with the child, and the father was killed because he wanted to save the child. In the same way, it was all because of the care and love for the child, which is an expectation of the patient The appearance of these two personalities is caused to fill the missing love in the heart. These images are just personalities that he doesn't know how to place in his mind, a personality that emerges from self-recollection. He also expressed his dissatisfaction with real life. We also have these dissatisfaction in our daily life, but the director showed it from the exaggerated personality of the patient in the film, so that we can reflect on ourselves and the society while seeing it.
The four personalities left at the end are the main personalities of the patient. In psychology, the largest number of personalities available is 13 personalities. The film shows 11 personalities and fights in the same scene. How wonderful is this? A kind of psychological subconscious presentation. One of the four personalities is the innkeeper Larry, the prostitute Paris, the fake cop, and the driver and ex-cop Ed. In the second half of the film, it can be clearly seen that since the child cheated to death, all the characters have been refreshed, that is, in the hotel there is only the atmosphere and no corpses, only these four people and no one else. And connected with the trial in reality, it can be seen that the driver Ed is the main character of the patient, and has various good characters such as justice, integrity, persistence, bravery, calmness, etc. He plays the role of "boss" in the hotel, and in Ed I found out that everyone had a headache when it was May 10th, which is the patient's birthday, and everyone's name was the name of a state in the United States, which was the headache when he was a police officer, and read out the beginning when the patient recorded the same After reading the poem, I realized that this is the closest connection between the main character and the patient.
It can also be seen that Larry and the prostitute are the patient's subconscious impression of his parents, a weak, money-loving pseudo-hotel owner, and one is clear and the patient's mother is a prostitute reflected in the opening transcript, then Paris is the real person in the personality. 's mother. The father is not mentioned in the opening material, but from the discussion in the film, only Larry and Paris are people from the same place, and Larry desperately wants to leave his hometown, it can be seen. As a prostitute, Paris does not accept the seduction of the fake police. It is also because the patient cannot accept the fact that his mother is a prostitute subconsciously, but it can be seen that the patient hopes that his mother will return to his side, which is a very nonsense when the prostitute returns to his hometown. The reason, planting oranges, I think any reason can make Paris in character return to his hometown, that is, the patient wants his mother to come home, instead of keeping him in a hotel as busy as he can, so the scene of the patient is only Happened in a hotel, not anywhere else. The various flashbacks reflect the role of the child's personality in the subconscious, and the last sentence "prostitutes don't have a second chance" also makes people understand that the child still deeply hates his mother, even in all kinds of personalities. Expecting his parents' love for him still can't make his childhood wounds soothe.
There is also the patient mentioned in the trial four years ago, who killed 6 neighbors. In this way, in addition to the four main characters I just mentioned, a child who cheated to death, the rest are not also 6 , During the process of split personality, the patient's action and reality are combined, so at the end, after the patient is not tied up, when he is controlled by the child's personality, he kills the psychiatrist and the driver, and reads out the end of the poem.
Director James also gave us an illusion, using two parallel lines, the same factor, to confuse two clues, one reality and one subconscious. It was also a rainy day, which blurred part of our audio-visual, and the two clues were mixed in the second half of the film, and the real part was not as much as the subconscious part, and a large number of first-person stories put us in the patient In the subconscious, he was led away. At first, he thought it was the prisoner who was going to kill again. Later, the prisoner died, and the blame turned to the innkeeper Larry who had evidence. Later, it became a mystery until the last moment of the film. A big overturn. In fact, throughout the whole article, the child did not speak, and was dispensable. As a result, he was the biggest "boss". On the other hand, everything is possible in the subconscious mind. The director uses visual stretching and transformation, the ghosts hit the wall when the criminal escapes, and how can a child kill so many people with such a scheming and strength to express a The power of this kind of consciousness makes the impossible possible. With complex narratives, jumping connections, and audio-visual confusion, we are lost in it and unable to extricate ourselves. When Ed met Paris, the camera added a close-up to the book "Nothing and Being", which is also the director's brilliant.
The above is just a small opinion of me on the film. In general, there are still many places that have not been mentioned. A lot of knowledge involved makes me terrified of my shallowness. Please forgive me~
