If it weren't for division, we might only be single-celled organisms; it is precisely because of division that one cell can evolve into trillions of cells, thus forming a complete person. Of course, this is a physically split. The mentally split is what we will talk about next. There are two mentally splits, one is schizophrenia, and the other is personality split. Schizophrenia is mainly a medical concept, but in layman's terms it is suffering from "neuropathy." As for the split personality, it is mainly a term from a psychological perspective. Strictly speaking, it is not a disease in medicine. Split personality refers to the splitting of a person with different personalities. Different personalities have different interests, hobbies, personalities and ages. This mental illness is formed by people's imagination and needs. Movies about split personality include "Fight Club", "Fatal ID", "Closed Island", and "Split". "Split" (split), a production budget of only 9 million US dollars but won 2. A low-cost, small-production film with a global box office of 7.6 billion dollars. I would not have watched it if it weren’t for Yimei. The scale of the mapping is far beyond what I expected. To describe it in two words, they are very Mind-expanding and thought-provoking. The film is adapted from real events and tells the story of Kevin suffering from a split personality and being diagnosed by a psychiatrist as having 23 multiple personality identities. Its prototype is Billy Milligan, the first suspect in American history who committed a felony and was found not guilty because of multiple personalities. The so-called multiple personalities are like there are other souls in your body, and William Milligan He is the most serious patient so far. There are 24 different personalities in his body. You can imagine that when you wake up with your eyes closed, you are in another place, even with time. Lost is gone, but in fact you are awake during this period of time, but another personality replaced you and did what "he" himself wanted to do. The story of William Milligan directly inspired a series of multi-personality movies such as "Fight Club", "Fatal ID", "Closed Island" and "Split". Among them, the closest thing to Billy Milligan is this "Split". In this film, in terms of acting, the acting skills of its male protagonist, Yimi, simply exploded. Whether it is the switching of various personalities or the expression and tone of each personality, his perfect acting skills are displayed to the extreme. Barry, an extroverted leading fashion designer with cleanliness, Dennis with obsessive-compulsive disorder, Patricia, a conservative religious woman, and Hedwig, a naughty 9-year-old child...Each of them is vivid, and the transformation of multiple personalities is completed in one shot, allowing the audience to be able to See how he transformed into another personality seamlessly from his looks, facial expressions and movement details. Such amazing acting skills are simply stunned! In terms of the plot, there are two story lines, a male lead line and a female lead line, and the two lines cross the narrative. The male lead’s line includes his actions in the current timeline and the past stories he revealed in the dialogue with the female doctor. The assumption that the male protagonist finally becomes a beast comes from an idealistic scientific hypothesis (idealism: that matter depends on consciousness, and matter is the product of consciousness. This also explains that beast is the most powerful personality, that is, the 24th person. After the appearance of the personality, the body itself breaks through the functional limit), that is, the theory that "split personality is not a disease, but may be a more perfect human" that female doctors have been insisting is a new type of evolutionary ladder, and even Impossible becomes possible. The finally evolved beast personality has broken through the limit of human abilities in all aspects, which can probably be understood as the ultimate self-hypnosis. In order to protect the male protagonist's initial personality (sleeping Kevin), the male protagonist’s various personalities have experienced the emergence and evolution of various personalities, and finally realized the evolution of the organism. He successfully awakened the 24th personality "beast" and realized the evolution that broke the limit. In the end, each personality expressed recognition and appreciation for the powerful ability shown by beast. He couldn't die even if he was hit by a shotgun bullet, he was so strong that he could pull the iron apart, and the physical ability of the railing could be said to have evolved to a very high level. Isn't this the original intention of evolution? The purpose of evolution is to become stronger and no longer be discriminated against and bullied. The memory of the male protagonist’s most primitive personality, Kevin, is also very painful. His mother abused him because he was a little dirty. For this reason, he abused the child. It can be said that she is out of anger by finding faults, or she is simply a person. Mentally ill. I think this is what directly led to the appearance of Dennis' personality. He needs this clean personality to fulfill his mother's task to protect him from abuse. While his mother was hitting him while holding the clothes hanger, while shouting his full name angrily, this later became the only safe word that could wake him up. It can be seen how kind Kevin is, and how much domestic violence has brought much shadow and harm to the children's hearts. When he heard the hostess trembling and crying his full name, he would still think of "What did I do" and "Did I hurt you" after waking up. After learning that he killed the female doctor, he did not hesitate to tell The hostess killed herself with a gun. It can be seen that Kevin is a kind-hearted master, and kind-hearted people were abused so badly when they were young. Dennis, whom Kong Wuyou has been giving orders, and Patricia, the elegant but scary woman personality he has been showing in front of the camera all the time. Patricia, a woman who has always been an elegant personality, suddenly went mad and smashed a knife just because she cut a sandwich and got a little crooked (note: at this time, Patricia and Dennis are driving together in control). This pathological behavior may be due to obsessive-compulsive disorder. Maybe it's because this is the product of his mother's mapping in Kevin's mind). The personality of the nine-year-old child looks more innocent, but there is also a lonely side. For example, when the heroine talks about her experience, she immediately feels empathy and wants to share her baby. Maybe this 9-year-old kid is what Kevin looked like when he was young. Regarding the female doctor, in fact, a flag was set for her death long ago (when the male lead went to the female doctor before, he talked about what to do if the female doctor passed away suddenly, the female doctor explained that someone would take care of her funeral). She knows the male protagonist’s 23 personalities well, and can even see through Dennis’s disguise. In fact, after she went to the male pro’s residence and suspected that he had committed the kidnapping, it was not a problem at all if she wanted to leave the police. However, she pretended to continue to support and understand. Not only did she plug the keyhole with a handkerchief to leave a way for her to escape, she also had to find the place where the girl was imprisoned. It was because she always regarded the patient as her own family. Knowing that the family did something like this, the first reaction would still try to dissuade him, but unfortunately it was too late and she was strangled to death by the 24th personality "beast". . In addition to the female doctor, two other girls who had suffered were also killed by beast. In fact, although three people died, the real bloody scenes of this film are actually only the two scenes when the female doctor was strangled to death and one of the girls was eaten as a meat Chinese meal by the beast. But this is more real and terrifying than other horror films that spray blood like a big sale. The line of the heroine is actually very obvious. The heroine’s childhood was when the uncle did push-ups naked and told her to go over. At that time, she also said "let's pretend we' It was the heroine's father who died of a heart attack, and the uncle had her custody. How sad, I guess, who can protect the heroine even if my father is gone? And this beast has become his guardian. Then the male protagonist saw the scars on her body, combined with the suffocating memories before, it is not difficult to guess that these scars represent how much abuse and humiliation the girl fell into the uncle's claws. Perhaps some of them were also the scars left by the resistance. Like before, she thought of telling her companion to pee on her body for a second. One was because she observed that the male protagonist was a cleanliness fetish, and the other was that she had avoided the uncle's violation by this method. I think of her telling her nine-year-old's personality that she deliberately violated discipline and let herself be detained in order to be alone. If she wants to avoid her classmates, then she would just go home straight after school. But after looking at the memories, she realized that the person she was trying to avoid was actually her uncle. The hostess is actually not so indifferent to her classmates. Not only did she tell her classmates to "pee on herself" to protect herself, she also helped to block the door when she was discouraged from escape. She faced the woman who was hit by a chair by her classmate for the second time. Personality Patricia tried to stop, and finally found the key and didn’t run away by herself but went to find two classmates. She was a cold-faced person, but was mutilated by her life so that no one approached it. People who will be close to other people. The male protagonist finally saw the scars and let her go. One thought that he had been abused, and the other was the repeated "The broken are the more evolved" (here the broken refers to people who have experienced hardship and pain. , The more evolved refers to people who have evolved, and the whole sentence means "experienced pain in order to evolve"). He had previously described those girls as "unsufferable" and "unsuffered" and repeatedly said that the sacrifices were "unsuffered, unclean souls." So after seeing the scar of the heroine, he said "You are different, your heart is After watching the film, of course, I have to return to reality. Some of the statements in the film cannot be completely believed, but they cannot be completely believed. Therefore, we must selectively believe based on our own life experience and scientific knowledge. For example, in the film, it is believed that each personality represents a different physique and ability. The setting in the film is: a change in personality will lead to a change in physique. However, in reality, whether a change in personality will lead to a change in physique depends on the specific circumstances. For example, personality A with diabetes but not personality B would not exist, at least for now, it does not exist; and the physical strength of personality A is better than personality B (because physical fitness can also be determined by willpower, And different personalities have different willpower). Therefore, the statement that each personality represents a different physique is one-sided. However, I personally believe that the statement that each personality represents a different ability is correct, as well as the views of the female doctor and the male protagonist in the film: "Personality split is not a disease, but a new model of human evolution." Maybe it is also correct. Although there is no corresponding academic paper to prove this point. But from some examples, it is not difficult to see that there are indeed arguments to support this view. For example, Billy Milligan, who has 24 personalities, although several personalities have their own advantages and disadvantages compared to the initial personality, his 24th personality is a fusion of 23 personalities. This personality is smart, sensitive, and has a great sense of humor. Claiming to be "I am a fully integrated Billy", he has an almost complete memory of the past. In this case, isn't split personality an evolution? Normal people think that split personality is a psychological disease, because normal people belong to the majority of people, and split personality is a small group of people. A small number of people who are different can easily cause them to be mistaken for "abnormal and sick people", just like the normal people in "X-Men" think that mutants are "sick" and try to treat them. It, but the mutants don’t cooperate, in the "X-Men: "Days of Future Past" was driven to extinction. But the fact is that mutants are not suffering from "disease", but have evolved. But in my opinion, the truth is always in the hands of a few people. Maybe different people feel different. But only the split personality knows whether this is disease or evolution for themselves. This film connects split personality with biological evolution, and believes that each personality represents a different physique and ability. Split personality is not a disease, but an evolutionary model that can unlock the potencial of the brain. If you look at this movie as an argument, then its main argument is: The broken are the more evolved. Just like that song sang, What doesn' t kill you makes you stronger. The ordeal that fails to kill us will always make people stronger. For the male protagonist in the film, since the 24th personality has brought him such a strong physical strength, this personality split is an evolution, which is certainly a good thing for him. But sometimes, split personality only plays a role of self-protection, and there is no evolution. For example, in "Shutter Island" starring Xiao Lizi. The protagonist’s wife suffered from mental illness and committed suicide after drowning his three children. The protagonist himself was also greatly traumatized. In the self-protection subconscious, he completely forgot his three children and created A brand-new self-a model husband who has no children and loves his wife, and the memorable fire that killed his wife, and a heinous and fugitive "murderer" who ignited the fire. So, why does the little plum in "Closed Island" have a split personality? I think it’s because: due to my disregard for my family and his wife’s mental illness, the wife drowned her three children and let Xiaoli kill herself, but he could not accept or bear it, and no one could bear such cruelty. fact. Therefore, after suffering extremely great psychological damage, the brain activates the defense mechanism on the subconscious level, as stated in the line in "Split": The brain has learned to defend itself. The brain hides the truth under the subconscious mind, not only forgets the truth completely, but also creates a non-existent "fake". Confinement Island, as an offshore mental hospital, holds dozens of mental patients with the most serious mental illnesses in the United States. However, it is not just mental patients, but also "schizophrenic patients." The two, as explained at the beginning of this article, have essential differences, but they also have the same "symptoms." In the film, the "investigation process" that Xiao Li Zi thinks is actually the mental treatment of Xiao Li Zi by the Confinement Island Hospital. The hospital used multiple hints to the facts and various evidences to prove that the truth that Xiao Li believed was a "fake", and finally revealed the truth hidden in Xiao Li's subconsciousness, and Xiao Li himself still couldn't bear such a fact. , Thus undergoing anterior lobe resection and became an idiot. Obviously, the hospital paid a considerable price for this treatment, and then the treatment was successful, but it still failed. They cured Xiaolizi, but Xiaolizi chose not to accept the facts, and thus came to an end. This result is tantamount to a failure of the treatment. You know, if Xiao Lizi can bear this fact, he will not split another personality, and now this personality disappears without a trace under treatment, so Xiao Li has to face the facts, but the problem is that there is no If so, he still can't accept this fact. I think split personality might not be a good thing. Imagine that you are not competent for a certain job, you cannot accomplish a certain thing, and you feel very frustrated and angry about this. After this emotion reaches a certain level, it unexpectedly leads to the awakening of the second personality, and this personality is better than yours. The personality is much stronger and more capable, so why not enjoy it when he gives him the control of the body and he enters a state of deep sleep? Don't say it's not you, it's still you, just like in the film: We are the same person, just different personalities.
