Further understanding of multiple personalities

Eula 2022-03-17 09:01:02

The protagonist in this film, a bald man with 24 personalities, fully demonstrates the image of a multi-personality owner.

"They appear alternately in a row" is controlled by the dominant personality, and some personality people have been suppressed in the corner for a long time. For example, the last time "Kevin" appeared in the film was in 2014.

They have different personalities, thoughts, IQs, and physiques. It can be said that they are completely different from the same person under different personalities. The beast personality that appears in the end has a physique like a beast, and it can’t even shoot a gun. I am surprised to see the muscles I wear here. This kind of personality split, which is mostly regarded as pathological, has also shown a great improvement in the inner potential of people in the movie. In the film, I think a psychologist with extremely high IQ and knowledge said that the potential of humans is limited. At the same time, he does not believe in the existence of the personality of beasts, and she did not expect that beasts will really appear in the end. The appearance of the beast seems to in turn hint at the infinite possibilities of human potential.

According to my current understanding of movies and personalities, these different personalities appear in some extreme situations. When you suffer from extreme panic and fear for a long time, you will long for an ideal character to appear, and over time it becomes you. Part of your personality, and those who impress you may also become part of your personality. For example, the male protagonist in the film was tortured by his mother when he was a child, so the whole person began to think that people who have not been tortured are inferior, and many of his personalities retain this idea. I think the formation of his multiple personalities is closely related to the things he usually comes into contact with. I guess he may feel like tortured when he sees the animals in custody, and further produces the final personality of the beast.

Finally, add a sentence of chicken soup that has nothing to do with yourself: "The torture and difficulty we have suffered in the past will be the motivation for our potential."
