1. The newspaper clippings read by the psychiatrist at the beginning of the article said that Rivers was abused by a prostitute mother when he was a child, and was locked in the bathroom of the Motel until he was rescued by the manager of the Motel. This is a painful memory that Rivers is fond of, and most likely the childhood trauma that triggered Rivers' multiple split personality. So when the various personalities of Rivers fought, the scene was chosen in a Motel.
The Motel's loss of cell phone reception during the torrential rain and flooded roads are a reflection of the panic that Rivers felt isolated from the outside world when he was locked in the dark of the bathroom as a child. Behind the film, the newlywed wife is locked in the bathroom and surrounded by fear, which seems to be the projection of this childhood memory.
2. A family of three was driving on the highway. The mother asked the child to turn off the toys, and the child induced the mother to be hit by a car. In reality, the psychiatrist asks Rivers what's wrong with you, and the doctor is strangled by Rivers. The mother and the doctor were in the passenger seat, and the child and Rivers were in the back. The trajectory of the car at the beginning of the film after drifting and stopping due to a puncture is similar to the trajectory of the car at the end of the film after the car has drifted and stopped. This head-to-head seems to mean that Rivers will commit a new murder.
The psychiatrist's strangulation at the end of the film is the only positive shot of Rivers' crime. Rivers can be seen immersed in fantasy when he kills, saying "Whores don't get a second chance." From this, it can be guessed that when Rivers murdered before He is also in a fantasy state. His brain kills in fantasy, and his body brutally kills the occupants of an apartment in reality.
3. Gary is extremely resistant to prostitutes and refuses to let prostitutes stay in the Motel, telling her that we don't have hourly rooms (for prostitutes). This seems to echo the opening press clipping that Rivers' prostitute mother locks him in the bathroom to prostitute herself at the Motel. Gary is one of the personalities of Rivers, who hates prostitutes for being abused by their mother as a child.
4. After being rescued from the Motel, Rivers was placed in a child welfare home. Ordinary parents of the children in the vision may be projections of people who had raised Rivers, such as the head of a child welfare institution. Despite their kindness to Rivers, Rivers still harbors hatred for them, so both the couple in the phantom have to die.
5. How did the psychiatrist know that there are ten personalities in Rivers (of course, it was later discovered that there were fatal omissions)? Probably by flipping through RIvers' journals. Each type of handwriting represents a personality, and there may be a name for each personality on it. For example, the judge flipped through and found a page full of Timothy York. However, if the psychiatrist has read this notebook, how can one less personality be counted? It is more likely that the psychiatrist had conversations with different personalities during the treatment process. He counted ten personalities in total. It's a pity that Timothy York's heavy personality is taciturn (his father told the driver in the vision that the child rarely speaks), and he basically did not speak during the entire vision process, so this most evil and deadly personality was missed by the psychiatrist.
6. The prostitute's personality is actually a kind personality, with the characteristics of reforming and being a new person. After she made a lot of money in the skin and meat business, she decided to wash her hands and return to her hometown of Florida to buy an orange orchard. Her hometown is the same as Rivers' real hometown. This heavy personality of Rivers represents his willingness to refrain from crime for the rest of his life. It's a pity that the character of the evil child prevailed in the end. It is worth mentioning that because the most righteous personalities Ed and prostitutes happened to occupy Rivers' body when speaking in court, the psychiatrist and the judge came to the wrong conclusion that Rivers was a harmless personality.
7. Before the prostitute character was dying, there was a flashback, indicating that the first 6 people who died in Motel were all killed by children. In reality, Rivers murdered six residents of an apartment complex. Consistency in numbers seems to suggest that it was the child personality who occupied Rivers' body when he murdered him. Unfortunately, this murderer personality is also the only personality that survived under the psychiatrist's drug treatment. The psychiatrist released the prisoner, only to be attacked. This seems to insinuate that under the American judicial system, some murderers are acquitted because of their successful defense, but they continue to harm society after their release.
8. The two characters appearing in the psychiatrist treatment section of the opening film seem to be the evil child first, manifested in his extreme mania and saying that my mother is a prostitute. Then came the driver, who mentioned that he had been taking aspirin for a headache and that he felt he came to the doctor for a headache. In the middle of the film, the driver explains to the prostitute that he did not save a girl who committed suicide, and has often suffered headaches and fainting since then.
