The "hypnosis" in the film is a cure. According to this logic, it is the murderers who were instigated by Mamiya to be cured. This kind of cure is to expose the murderers to another personality that is suppressed by their social status.
The motives of several murderers have not been clearly explained, but it is certain that the murderers have dissatisfaction with life under their ordinary social status, and they also have anti-social aspects. The first one is the prostitute. The motive for committing the crime is not described, but when he was discovered, his clothes and ID card (driver's license) were separated from the naked self after the crime. I think this is the second personality of the murderer being inspired Symbolic. The second murderer, the teacher, repeatedly said "I am a teacher, I am married" twice when introducing himself. "Marriage" is probably something that affects him deeply subconsciously. After Mamiya hypnotized him with the topic of "tell me about you and your wife", he also swung the knife at his wife, indicating that there is also an unbearable side to his seemingly harmonious married life. The third, the policeman, can see the subtle contradictions between him and his young colleague from the intermittent clips. The young colleague seems to be a rigid and lifeless image, and has a small disagreement on the issue of "smoking ban". Mamiya also "started with work" to hypnotize the police, arousing his disgust for the working atmosphere and getting along with his colleagues, and eventually shot and killed his young colleagues. The fourth, the doctor, is the most detailed and straightforward description of the motive. Female doctors have long been suppressed by the concept of inequality between men and women, and have a strong desire to disintegrate men. This resulted in her finally peeling the dead man's body in the men's room.
In the middle, Sakuma committed suicide, realizing that his anti-social personality was inspired by hypnosis, so he stopped.
The high-level police officer appeared to be gentle and patient with his wife with amnesia and mental illness, but he was actually forced to be very manic and on the verge of collapse by this life. This is why he had the hallucinations of his wife hanging himself. Although he was very painful after seeing this scene, he subconsciously wanted his wife to die and reduce his burden. In the end, after punishing the murderer Mamiya who instigated the murder, he seemed to be hypnotized and became a hypnotist, the same role as Mamiya. There are also film critics who said that the high part was the big boss behind the scenes from the beginning. This statement has to be considered after watching the movie several times. There are too many details in this movie.
In short, all the murderers in the film are suppressed out of their morbidity in their social life. Through hypnosis, Mamiya allows them to kill the object of repression, and at the same time kill the personality of their social identity and release their anti-social personality. Cure their sickness with this extreme method.
I also want to talk about "Blue Beard" watched by Gao's wife at the beginning of the film. There are many versions of this story, one of which is that Blue Beard’s wife discovered the secret of Blue Beard’s killing of his previous wives, and was rescued by his lover when he was almost killed by Blue Beard. The lover killed Blue Beard. After that, the wife lived a life of seducing other men and killing them. I think in this story, Blue Beard's wife also released the second personality, from a victim to an assailant. At the same time, the image of the blue beard wife echoed the image of Gao Bu, who was hypnotized to become another murderer after punishing the murderer.
