The director is Shayamalan, M. Night Shayamalan, who started watching his new Apple drama "Maid of the Ghosts" this year at Apple last week. So when I saw this movie was his work, I clicked it in. In "The Strange Maid", it was said that he likes to play tricks in his own works. This time is no exception. I found him playing Jai, who loves fried chicken, and checked the surveillance video of the building with a psychologist.

Some movies watch the story, some watch the reversal, some watch the camera, and so on. This "Split" mainly focuses on acting.

Starring James McAvoy, it's the first time I watched his play. There is a saying that describes Vivien-Lee: She has such a beautiful appearance, does not have to have such an acting skill; She has such an acting skill, does not need to have such a beautiful appearance. It is also good to describe JM, switching between several personalities is seamless. But why is he nicknamed "Yimei"?

The story is wonderful. If you look into the reasons for the appearance of several personalities, such as Hedwig, a nine-year-old boy stayed at the age when he was abused by his mother; Patricia was a combination of a mother with obsessive-compulsive disorder and a woman who had helped Benge Kevin; Dennis was a leader. The perfect personality and so on, 24 personality can make another psychological analysis movie.

Casey's dark thread is also valuable: the childhood experience of hunting with his father, being abused by his uncle, and being treated differently by his classmates after school. You can also make a dark youth film.

There are a few lines that feel particularly good:

Casey’s dad: Females are smarter than the males. But you know that, it's like humans. Females use their nose to stay alive. They make sure they have cover. They always remember they're trying to stay alive. Bucks go off by themselves. Bucks get dumb during mating season.
Casey in childhood: Boys make too much noise.

This paragraph analyzes why women live longer than men, and a few words are in place. Women are more cautious and more vigilant than men in order to survive. Men tend to expose themselves to dangerous situations, especially during estrus. Particularly realistic.

The final beastly split:

You are different from the rest. Your heart is pure! Rejoice! The broken are the more evolved. Rejoice.
Those who have not been torn have no value in themselves and no place in this world! They are asleep!
We are glorious! We will no longer be afraid. Only through pain can you achieve your greatness! The impure are the untouched, the unburned, the unslain. Those who have not been torn have no value in themselves and no place in this world!

Horde, a small group composed of several split personalities, such as Dennis and Patricia, believes that those who have been injured and broken are pure and complete, and those who have not been tortured are not worthy of living in this world. People who have been injured have evolved to be more advanced. ——I quite agree with this view.

At the end, Bruce Willis came out for a cameo, and made an advertisement for the last Glass of the 2019 trilogy:

This is like that crazy guy in the wheelchair that they put away 15 years ago. And they gave him a funny name, too. What was it?
Mr. Glass.

    For example, self-portrait in a mirror, or self-pity in a hanging shadow, it is clear that two traumatized people/beasts are on the front and back of time and space, showing the process of "evolution"; the flashback part is particularly great, such as the formation of the "split" of roaming, and The confrontation in the past is just like the perspective of the audience concentrating on the vision of the beast; you must call my name and witness the existence of every scar in the blood, so as not to be swallowed by the infinite darkness, it is teary; the ending ambition is really big!

    There are monsters! There are monsters! The ending song should use "Orcs", right? Yimei's acting skills can't support it.

Split quotes

  • Casey's Father: [teaching his daughter how to hunt] Females are smarter than the males. But you know that, it's like humans. Females use their nose to stay alive. They make sure they have cover. They always remember they're trying to stay alive. Bucks go off by themselves. Bucks get dumb during mating season.

    Five-Year-Old Casey: Boys make too much noise.

  • Dennis: The Beast is a sentient creature who represents the highest form of humans' evolution. He believes the time of ordinary humanity is over. I hope this makes you feel calm. You will be in the presence of something greater. I was gonna ask for your last shirt, but I won't. Because tonight is a sacred night. It's almost over.
