I read several movie reviews, but there are There are still disagreements on some issues.
First of all, the actors Antony and Professor Adam in this film are of course two split personalities of one person, but as split personalities, it is difficult to say which is the main personality and which is the sub-personality. These personalities all exist in a person's mind. From an outsider's point of view, we cannot judge which is the main character based on what his real name is.
Then, to agree with a point of view, both names are actually used by the protagonist, otherwise it is impossible to have the trajectory of two people's lives in the real society.
Let's take a look at the real social life trajectory of the protagonist.
Antony is an actor, and his acting experience is shown in the film. In 2000, 2003, and 2005, they were all dragon roles. In 2006, there was an advertisement, that's all.
Such a career situation must be difficult to make ends meet, so Antony found a stable job - associate professor of university history. Especially after the wife is pregnant, the scouting company does not go.
Just because of his career orientation, he used a pseudonym Adam to apply for a teaching position, and he didn't tell his wife, because as the wife of a full-time wife, she obviously didn't know about it. (This can be seen from the fact that the wife later met her husband at school, and was very depressed and sad.)
A certain opportunity, probably an opportunity during her career as an actor, led Antony to participate in a very erotic private club, and then with an old lover The old love revived, and there was a separate tryst place, at this time Adam gradually formed an independent personality.
The spider in the erotic show has become a symbolic image of Antony's psychology. Fear, desire or sin, it is difficult to accurately define, in short, Antony's personality denies Adam's personality, which is seen from Antony's personality in a dream A sexy naked woman with a spider head can be seen waking up (it can be seen from the bedroom that wakes up to be Antony's house).
By chance, a college colleague even recommended Adam to watch a movie in which Antony plays the role of the dragon. The sensitivity to the existence of the alter ego allows Adam to discover Antony's existence at a glance. From then on, Antony began to have an influence even when Adam's personality was dominant.
So the two personalities collided, but in each independent field of life, the other was regarded as the other.
Only outsiders such as mothers, wives, and lovers feel this change, so getting along becomes strange and even difficult, and the protagonist himself begins to have more and more intense personality conflicts.
What happens in the end is the conflict and integration of personalities. Whether it is an appointment in a hotel or a transaction of identity exchange, it is the embodiment of the mutual recognition and negation of the two personalities. The occurrence of the car accident and the rendezvous between Antony and his lover in place of Adam were not real events, but the psychological destruction of part of Antony's personality. The words "you are not a man" said by the lover in the car are Antony Psychologically there is a denial of the authenticity of this event.
At this point, part of Antony died as Adam, and the split Adam returned to Antony's life.
The final spider reappears as Antony takes out the new keys to the club and intends to join.
