The biggest question after watching: The scene about mice is undoubtedly a highlight. If Ella and Difen are really the same person, why is Ella so afraid of rats and Difen not afraid? We all know that the fear must be caused by a certain memory. It is unreasonable because Ella is a clone of Difen. This memory is added (when I looked at it, I thought it would lead to a big secret because of this mouse...)
So in my opinion, the details of schizophrenia in the film are too few. No one who was excavated has seen Ella. Ella did not give a speech in place of Di Fen. In fact, it makes sense to think about it from another angle: If Ella just wants to replace Dai Fen, then why would she use her identity too much to contact people around Dai Fen? Isn't this telling everyone clearly, yes, I am Ella, did I control Difen? The replacement speech itself is a cover for Ella, just to tell Dai Fen: we can exchange identities. Of course, looking back at the end from the perspective of schizophrenia, it does add a lot of color. It feels like a scene in a play, but it makes people feel like an anticlimax. If we sort out this story from a normal narrative perspective, it makes perfect sense: Ella wants to replace Dai Fen, so she keeps invading her life, and even looks more and more like Dai Fen in all aspects of dress. After Da Fen found out, he wanted to dig out Ella's story and write it into a book. As a result, he was over-immersed in Ella's life and gradually adopted her various habits. As for the last book "Adapted from the Truth", who knows whether it was Dai Fen's book about Ella, or the whole story that the entire film is telling?
Anyway, I watched it for Eva. After reading it, I hope that Eva can try some different types of roles, and I feel it a thousand times: Roman Polanski, come on...
