Hide and Seek video review

I watched a movie "hide and seek" in my psychology class today. It is about a psychopath with a split personality. The director created a slightly darker picture in the film, with high and low voices, and all kinds of suspense and horror one after another. At the end, I saw the ending, but I was very confused. I came back and read some movie reviews. I felt that it was not very detailed and could not answer the doubts in my heart, so I wrote some comments on the movie based on my own thinking.
Let me start with a few questions: Why put the deceased in the bathtub to create the illusion of suicide? Going to a new setting that gave a cave a lot of shots, and the finale also happened in the cave? What does a dead butterfly out of a cave represent? What does the character "Charlie" represent in addition to representing the other side of the schizophrenic David? What is the little girl painting for? Why did David end up killing the little girl? Why is the time at 2:06? Why does the little girl open the door before going to bed? Why did it close in the end?
I think that the illusion of suicide in the bathtub is to deceive the other personality, or to escape. The bathing place is often the most hidden place. When David killed his wife, he lit a white candle in the bathroom. , is this a kind of prayer and repentance? He loves his wife, but he can't tolerate his wife's derailment, and most importantly, it directly leads to that he can't stand the person he loves being taken away by others. After his wife died, he gave all his love to his daughter, which is why he took his daughter to a relatively quiet town where not many people appeared. Because he felt that it was only there that his daughter belonged to him alone.
As for caves, the repeated occurrence of a scene, I think, is a hint, what is the most primitive meaning of caves to people? self-protection? The beginning of the primitive man's self-protection in primitive society is the occupation of the cave. A closed environment can make some people feel safer, and I think David should be that kind of person. During the period, there was a scene where David came out of the cave with a dead butterfly. Does this mean that the "newborn" and "transformed" David has only a dead ending outside the so-called "cave"? Or is he unwilling to face another him? The new one?
Is "Charlie" the other side of David, and the little girl only has one side? She should have always known that she really wanted to make friends. She needs to open the door before she goes to bed, and she needs light to shine on her, does that mean she wants to be in contact with the outside world? And she knows that in reality her dad won't allow this to happen, so she doesn't make friends with anyone? And his father David, every time he writes a diary, wears headphones and listens to loud music in such a quiet environment. Is this a form of self-escape? I think it should be.
The little girl draws, I think, to tell Charlie, or tell people outside, what happened. He will draw Charlie very tall, is this implying her fear of Charlie? From initial trust to final fear?
The time is 2:06, which should be a tribute to "Silent Hill".
The girl no longer needs to open the door to sleep, which should mean that she will escape and protect herself like her father.
