Before expressing my opinion on the film, I have to put aside in my mind the medical interpretations and definitions of "dual personality" or "multiple personality". Because this is a movie, and it is a movie adapted from a novel, it contains some of the original novel's author's views on "dual personalities", and more with the director's views on "dual personalities", and the director is conscious or unconscious. Incorporate his views on life into this movie that uses "dual character" as a selling point.
In fact, in this film, the director regards the protagonist as Dr. Jekyll and as Mr. Hyde as the good and evil sides of human nature. However, it is not as the priest at the beginning of the film thinks: "The good nature will eventually triumph over the evil nature." The director of the film, Victor Fleming, did not think so, (the original author Stevenson did not think so), but the director It seems to have gone further. In the original book, Dr. Henry finally committed suicide in despair, because he knew that apart from destroying himself, he had no way to stop himself from creating evil in the world? But in the movie, our protagonist did not end up dying by suicide under the control of Dr. Henry, Mr. Hyde was already in the quagmire of sin, unable to extricate himself, (and finally died in the police chaos after being recognized by his friends Under the gun.) It really echoes the old saying, "It's easy to learn badly, but hard to learn well."
