Taken from Baudrillard's cold memory 3 P164-P165
twins are born: the greatest misfortune.
Feeling more than half of yourself or just half of yourself—this is the fate of those twin sisters (Sisters Gibbons in perfume ads), because they are so alike that they don’t look like anything. The same actions, the same conditioned reflexes, the same body, and even the same words. When they are alone, they become inseparable, curled up in society, become gibberish, commit sexual violence, and only think about killing or suicide (these are the same things for them). They will eventually approach the mental hospital with unbearable mutual influence. However, twin birth pain also happened to this stuttering man: it was his twin brother who stuttered through him, and he would never be able to get rid of this brother.
For everyone, this is probably the real Oedipus problem. This is not to be liberated from the family relationship triangle, but to be liberated from the virtual complex, liberated from the other self connected to the umbilical cord. This other self is for every individual A natural image of death. Perhaps it is precisely because of this hidden twin, the virtual twin that all of us have since birth, so it is difficult for us to break with it.
In the movie "Nie Kou" ("False Imaginer"), the woman tries to swallow the umbilical cord in a dream in order to liberate the man she loves from this terrible twin birth. In fact, she tried to give him another childbirth. But she did not succeed. He prefers the birth of twins to sex, he prefers to die with twin brothers, and does not like women and temptations.

    1. Think of Narcissus 2. There is a saying that when twins are in the womb, they will try to kill each other to compete for the nutrients provided by the mother. 3. The twins also symbolize the split of the self. 4. In addition, it is suspected that the heroine deliberately made Bev addicted to drugs in revenge for the deception and tricks of the brothers. In the early stage, Bev was induced to take medicine. Later, when she came back from filming, Bev became addicted to drugs. She didn't have any medicine to indicate that she didn't take it often, so she didn't prepare it.

    The title is well done, the illustrations of ancient medical techniques appear one by one in the black and red gradient background. In the play, one person plays the two roles, and he plays the opposite role with himself. There is no difference in hairstyle, dress, voice and tone. It all depends on Ain's subtle acting skills to every small expression. In the end, neither the audience nor the people in the play can tell who is who, so who knows who the ending will be. As soon as the surgical instruments came out, the horror of Conanberg's format was also in place. satisfy.
