The soul cannot be redeemed, and flight becomes the theme

Both are two people who have suffered horrible childhood traumas, one is withdrawn but kind and pure, and the other is divided into 23 personalities with beast souls. After watching the whole movie, the impression of schizophrenia is not as deep as that of the girls' escape. At the beginning of the movie, I even thought Casey was a superpower, and was taken away by the organization Yimi for research. The movie is more focused on the escape of Casey, causing Cavin and other split personality traits to be robbed of most of the limelight by "beasts". Instead, it highlights the girls' experience from the side. The plot focuses on the ending of the girls instead of " Cavins" ending. At the end of the film, it can be seen that "Cavins" has more anti-social personality and more unity. On the other hand, there are fewer people in society who sincerely pay attention to and help them like female psychologists, and more respect for them. The masses of the people wanted for murderers. So what is the significance of this film? The 24 personalities that can be remembered in the movie can be counted with one hand. For me, who really want to know about other personalities, it's really not addictive. It's a pity that Yimei changed her acting skills.

  • Kevin Wendell: [speaking in video recording] The Horde keeps obsessing about the ones who haven't suffered. I don't know where they're going with this, but it scares me.

  • The Beast: The broken are more evolved.
