People can quit smoking, drinking, and even quitting drugs, and they can also change some bad habits, but they can never change their instincts, because those are the natural reactions and behaviors that occur without thinking about the brain.

Synopsis
In an ice pick murder case , ex-rock singer Johnny was found dead on his bed naked by a maid.
His hands were tied with white silk belts, and countless holes were stabbed by ice picks on his body, and he died in a terrible state.
There were no bruises or signs of resistance on the body, and it was most likely killed with an ice pick during sex.
Johnny's girlfriend Catherine (Sharon Stone) comes into the police's sight.
She was seen leaving the club with the deceased at midnight and was most likely the last person to see the deceased.
Katherine, a well-known author who majored in psychology in college, is an extremely difficult character.
The police found through her novel published last year that the content in it was exactly the same as this case .
This means that there are two possibilities.
The first is that Catherine is the murderer. She is psychopathic and planned how to kill Johnny very early, and she also wrote it in her novel in advance.
The second is that the murderer had read Catherine's novel, used the methods in it to kill people, and put the blame on her.
The police preferred the first possibility, so they took Katherine to the police station for questioning.
I didn't expect this woman to be very simple. She was extremely calm throughout the questioning, without any flaws, and she also offered to accept a lie detector test.
The results of the polygraph came out soon, and Katherine was not the murderer, so the police could only give up.
But police detective Nick (Michael Douglas) did not give up, he believed that someone could fool the lie detector, especially Katherine who is proficient in psychology.
So he began to follow Katherine and investigate her whereabouts.
In the process, he discovers that Catherine has several female friends, all of whom have criminal records.
One of them killed his husband and three children, and the other killed his two biological brothers.
The fact that things are like people gather together in groups, which further affirms Nick's idea.
But what he didn't expect was that Catherine knew his past well, and even knew his very private information.
Nick suspects that someone inside the police department is leaking secrets , and he first suspects Nelson, the head of the discipline team, who has had an affair with him.
However, just after Nick found Nelson's theory unsuccessful, Nelson was shot to death, and he became the first suspect...
Video Analysis
When it comes to "Instinct", the first impression of friends who have seen it is that there are a lot of sex scenes in it. I think the director arranges so many erotic scenes to kill two birds with one stone. It is not only a gimmick, but also emphasizes the theme of the film. Human "instinct" is What? In the film, we see sex and violence .
"Sex", when the lonely detective wants to investigate an empty writer, they go to bed; when the nympho psychologist treats a mighty police detective, they go to bed, the film's interpretation of sex is very direct, such as Nick Die When I saw Catherine and asked her if she loved Johnny, Catherine replied that I just love to sleep with him.
"Violence", whether it's Aesop, Rosie or Nick, they've all killed people, and for whatever reason, they all chose violence at a fork in the road. Nick is simply a manic maniac in the film. He gets angry with his colleagues and his girlfriend many times. Rosie even chooses to continue killing people under the jealousy.
As the two instincts of human beings, we are ashamed to talk about "sex" because it is a very private thing, and "violence" as normal people must be restrained, because it hurts others and hurts ourselves, and it is useless, but The so-called instincts are things that are naturally revealed without thinking through our brains many times, so when they are presented to us through the screen, they can not only bring a sensory impact, but also make people feel very reasonable and normal. .
Let’s talk about the plot of this movie. Although this story has certain problems in terms of logic and rationality, it is still a good thriller on the whole, especially the one before the truth is revealed. A paragraph is very tense and exciting, so what is the truth of this story? The following content contains spoilers, it is recommended to read the movie after watching the movie.
Is the real murderer Catherine or Dr. Garner? The answer is of course Catherine, otherwise why would she put an ice pick under the bed? Chisel ice? So she must be the murderer, and Garner must be framed by her. There are several details. First, Garner has the habit of not locking the door , because the door lock is broken, which gives Catherine the opportunity to put the incriminating evidence in her home.
The second is at the most critical ending. If Garner was the murderer, would he foolishly give Nick a chance to shoot her? Because everyone knows that Nick is a "shooter" and has a history of shooting innocent people, so as Nick's psychiatrist, she would not do it if she was a little sensible, and the reason she did it was that she had Like Nick said, she really loved Nick, so the first reaction was to try to explain.
The third is the cause of Nelson's death. In the film, we know that Nelson once investigated Garner a year ago. If Garner is really the murderer, would it be necessary for him to cover up her for a year and not shake it out until this time? Unless he found out that the murderer was Garner's girlfriend, and now because of this case, Nelson has only discovered that this girlfriend is Katherine, and all this can be connected.
Why didn't Katherine kill Nick? I think she has a love for Nick, at least more than a buddy, which explains why Rosie wanted to kill Nick out of jealousy. In the latter part of the film, Catherine said to Nick, "I can't use affection for you, I don't want to do this, I lost everyone, I don't want to lose you", indicating that killing is just her instinct, and she still hopes to be with Nick in her heart Let's walk together. Besides, Nick, who is of the same kind, has accepted her. This is what I want to say next . Does Nick know that Catherine is the murderer?
He must have known that he had woken up when he saw with his own eyes that the keys to his house were in Garner's pocket. He knew that he had killed the wrong person again, so he was expressionless in the face of his colleagues' comfort, maybe he was living his own life at the time. Conscience, in the end he chose to "live happily like a mouse" with Catherine. The mouse crossed the street, everyone shouted and beaten, and it was hard to see the light. Nick knew that he and Catherine were the same. Live happily.
Like things gather together, people are divided into groups, and the only people who can suppress the killing instinct of a murderer are people of the same kind.
