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.

Split quotes

  • Marcia: [as Claire struggles with door] It doesn't matter if you open that door, Claire. There's a second locked door.

    Claire Benoit: He's gonna come in here again any second now, and we're not gonna let him take one of us out again. We just screamed and didn't hurt him, because we were afraid he'd get upset. God, that's victim shit!

    [with her hands in her hair:]

    Claire Benoit: Jesus! We should fight him! We should drop a crazy-ass bomb on him!

    Casey Cooke: [quietly] I saw him carry one of you in here and lay you on the bed like you weighed nothing. One punch from him would knock one of us out.

    Claire Benoit: I took... I took six months of Kenpo karate class. And you distract the assailant with pain.

    Casey Cooke: Everything is so easy for you guys. You do one thing, you can predict the next thing.

    [shakes her head]

    Casey Cooke: It's not the way it's gonna be in this situation.

    Claire Benoit: We're not getting out of here! You're saying you're not gonna fight with everything in you? You know, the only chance... the only chance we have is if all three of us go crazy on this guy. We have to hurry!

    Marcia: We need you, Casey. Claire's smart. Let's listen to her. I'll do it, but you're gonna do it too. We can win.

    Casey Cooke: He'll hurt us. No, shut up. Both of you.

    Claire Benoit: [to Casey] You're gonna pick your miserable self up and help us get out of here.

    Casey Cooke: Blow me. And your six months of karate at the King of Prussia mall can blow me too.

    Claire Benoit: No. No, you can't, can't do this today. You can't do this right now. Why do you do this? Why do you act like this? Why do you act like you're not one of us?

  • Dennis: [to the three captives] Patricia has reminded me that... I was sent to you for a reason. That... you are sacred food. And I promise not to bother you again.

    [shuts door as he leaves]

    Marcia: Maybe he has a dog or something. You think he's gonna feed us to his dogs?
