Analysis of the Korean movie "Phone"

This movie really has a lot of understanding angles, and I personally prefer to watch it in conjunction with the movie "Deadly ID". The logic in series is very smooth.

Young-sook's file says "sociopathic personality" and "borderline personality disorder." Borderline personality disorder is a hallucination of multiple personalities. It has been made clear here that the film needs to be explained by the theory of refinement.

In fact, Yingshu, Shuyan, Yingshu's adoptive mother, Shuyan's mother, Shuyan when she was a child, Shanxi from the grocery store, and even the police officer who was killed are all different personalities split from the same person, like "Deadly ID" As in ", different personalities kill each other, Shuyan is kinder, she wants to save everything, so that all the personalities can live in harmony, but Yingshu's personality wants to kill all except Shuyan (because at this time Shuyan treats Yingshu very well.) and use value.)

But later Shuyan saw that Yingshu was about to kill all her personalities, breaking the ecological balance, and also knew that this personality was too destructive, so she also decided to kill Yingshu. So at this time, Yingshu planned to kill Shuyan together. However, Shuyan's mother appeared and died together with Yingshu, saving Shuyan's life. Shuyan went to find Shuyan's mother and found that Shuyan's mother had been destroyed (in the movie Shuyan and her mother were walking, and her mother gradually disappeared). There is an Easter egg at the end of the film, Yingshu is still alive, she calls another woman and says that she is going to be reborn. This should be another personality, the third personality that was used to help Yingshu. You must know that Yingshu's personality is disguised, just like when she became friends with Shuyan at the beginning, it was also to gain trust and let Shuyan help her. This can be seen from a plot: when Shuyan recorded her favorite singer's music, she was lying on the table and listened expressionlessly. In fact, she was not interested in these music, all she did was just to Use Soyeon's main character.

The second point that proves Young-sook's disguise is the character of Sun-hee in the grocery store. When Shuyan went to look for Shanxi, Shanxi said that at first she thought Yingshu was kind and befriended her, but who knew that she almost died at her hands, but she was saved by Yingshu's adoptive mother. It was mentioned later in the movie that Sook Yeon's burn was actually caused by Young Sook.

As explained above, Shanxi = Shuyan

Shanxi is actually a kind personality who was first used by Yingshu. It can be seen in the movie that in the beginning, Yingshu always called Shanxi on the phone. The scald on Shanxi's leg is the same as the scald on Shuyan's leg when she was a child and when she grew up.

The above explains again, Shanxi = Shuyan

In addition, the middle-aged Yingshu and Shuyan's mother also have the same scars on their necks.

As explained above, Young Sook = Sook Yeon's mother

If you watch the movie, there is a close-up of a middle-aged Shanxi in a grocery store smoking a cigarette, and you will find that there is a similar close-up of a young Yingshu smoking in the movie.

As explained above, Shanxi = Yingshu

Sook Yeon is not very good at driving (Dad was teaching her, but she disappeared halfway through the teaching, she has not learned it yet), and Young Sook is not very good at driving either (when she went to the old man who collected the junk, her driving skills were poor).

As explained above, Sook Yeon = Young Sook

In addition, why does the protagonist turn into a mother and a stepmother at the same time? The heroine accidentally burned her father to death when she was a child. Because of her ideological self-protection, she imagined that her mother forgot to turn off the fire and killed her father. Later, because the heroine's score became more and more serious, her mother always wanted to treat her and took her to a mental hospital (in the movie, the stepmother said that she took Yingshu to a mental hospital, and her mother told Shuyan to buy her insurance The heroine held a grudge, so she jumped out of Yingshu's personality, imagined her mother as a stepmother who always abused her, and killed her mother. Shuyan misses her mother and thinks her mother to be a great mother who protects herself regardless of her life. It is also because of the guilt of her kind-hearted character towards her mother (the responsibility for her father's death has always been pushed to her mother, and the guilt of killing her mother).

There are countless details in the movie, which can prove that all the characters are different personalities split from the same person. Pay more attention to the similarities in each character, and you can string them together.

    The front is fine. After her father's resurrection, the angelic heroine's IQ is cleared. The demon heroine is nauseating throughout.

    If you know she's killed someone, don't ask, you'll be caught by the police. Perfect
