The villain’s path to becoming a devil

[Spoilers are available] Indian director Rechesa and Malan is a meticulous choreographer. Just because he directs and writes scripts, he can lay out all kinds of details and foreshadowing as he wants.

The packaging of "Thinking" is very clever, and it doesn’t say what kind of movie it is. Before entering the theater, the audience will probably only imagine that this is a set of thriller and horror movies about split personality; however, as the plot develops, the director reaches the end. He actually used an unexpected method to "feed back" the fans who have watched his works.

This is a "sequel movie" that is not stated as a sequel. It echoes the "Immortal Tribulation" set in 2000, and it is also a "worldview" drawn by the director.

"The Undead" and "Thoughts" are actually about the same world view; the previous work interprets the comic hero theme in an alternative way. Dunn, played by Booth Willis, was magically unharmed in the huge accident and played in Samuel Jackson. Under the "guidance" of Mr. Glass, he gradually embarked on the road of heroes; at the end of the film, he finally knew the terrible thoughts caused by Mr Glass's obsession with "finding heroes".

If "No" is the path of heroes' self-discovery, "Split" is the path of the villain to become a demon. Kevin, who played by James McDonald, has a sudden change in his personality split and has become a powerful "monster"; if this is a set of purely independent works, this statement may not be true; but Dunn appears at the end of the film, and Speaking of Mr Glass, this is not a mere psychological thriller.

To a certain extent, this is actually a process of constructing a world view like a comic hero; the film "No" and this film have each laid out a complete experience for the "hero" and the "villain", just like the "prequel" of a set of comic hero movies.

As in the past, the director’s script is actually very hierarchical and has many details. For example, it may be more ideal if it is transformed into a novel; he almost has a twisting position every time, and this time, but the premise of a "shock" feeling is that you Have seen the director’s previous work.

If the story is a novel or a comic, it may be more interesting; a further extension is that if this "series" has a "sequel," I definitely look forward to it.

    supernatural? psychology? Fine score? This combination of reality and the supernatural is in line with personal tastes, with ups and downs as a whole, with many hints. "Monster is real..." The childhood of the hero and the heroine is directly harmed by the shadow of childhood, so is it terrible animals or adults. The heroine is the heroine of the witch... a magical performance of one star to a beauty... a big wave of emojis are coming... I don't understand that the girl on the scene laughs wildly when she sees "the child is beautiful".

    Except for Zhan Yimei's changing personality, this movie is really too pretentious. The fragmented and unclear script does not say anything; even the foreshadowing must be searched by myself later to understand, is it that as long as I have not seen the director’s previous movie, I don’t deserve to understand the hidden passages in the movie?
