+++++This article is a serious spoiler,
I will not discount the climax of the movie for you, please watch it carefully +++++++When I watched this movie at the beginning of last month, I couldn’t say I liked it, at least I didn’t talk to anyone recommended. At the beginning of the film, the background is set in a country hotel where communication has been interrupted. Ten tenants with different identities and a sneaky hotel owner. In such an isolated island environment that has been painstakingly created, the story unfolds and the killings follow. to.
Maybe at first you will be frightened like me by the thrilling atmosphere and the inexplicable death of the tenants according to the house number, but at the end of the performance, you may be disappointed to find that the plot cannot stand up to scrutiny: for example, the tenants are killed by a series of car accidents. The coincidental encounter of the motel, such as the corpse that disappeared at the end, the secret in everyone's name and the birthday match, but the unexpected ending didn't make me feel good, but the feeling of being played: it turned out that everything was a split personality of the dead fat man at the beginning a dream! Well, in this way, your logic cannot stand scrutiny, and your impossible crime can be hard to justify, and you can weave a dream to a perfect ending - isn't this tricking the audience? So you turn off the video with the dissatisfaction of being cheated after the climax and scolding "what a bad movie".
If the above is the state of you after watching this film, maybe you haven't understood it like I was at that time. But now, a month later, if it were me, I would tell you that this is a good movie to ponder.
What is the reason for this film to have a big reversal in the author's cognition? You must think it's incredible, how can I remember all the plots in the movie after a month, which shows that the plot is really impressive, but I have to give you the details and hidden mysteries that I read out first. To tell a real case, this is what I saw in a book on the study of mental patients.
Patient A, male, looks like a man with five or three rough standards. However, in the early observation and interviews of scholars, he has always appeared as "her", and according to "she", "she" still has a brother who takes good care of "her", and the crime "she" committed It was all done by "her" brother - it was "her" brother who killed "her" live-in boyfriend. But in fact, the patient's family and friends have denied the existence of this brother, but his mother admitted that there was indeed a boy who died prematurely two years before Patient A was born, and this may be his The prototype of the older brother. As for how the brother who died early invaded his personality, it may be traced back to his childhood growth experience. According to "she", when "she" was naughty when she was a child, she was often compared to her brother by her mother: "Brother I'm more obedient than you, and I'm not naughty. I don't want this or that..." From this point of view, what happened to a person as a child may not seem to you at all. Shaping will have a crucial and unexpected effect, and this growth inducement leads to the dual personality trait in Patient A. I have to emphasize this point about my childhood experience, because trying to unravel "Deadly ID" is one of the key clues, remember that poem in the movie?
"When I was going up the stairs
I met a man who wasn't there
He wasn't there again today
I wish I wish he'd go away "
--this is a metaphor for multiple personalities.
Back to Patient A, what happened to "she" later? After a month of continuous interviews, "her" personality suddenly disappeared, and the one who sat in front of the researcher was the one who had a clear mind and knew for sure that he had multiple personalities. And if this is the patient's id, if he is soberly aware that it was his id personality who harmed the victim at the time, then legally speaking, he will be criminally responsible. As for a very emotional sentence in the book: "If 'she' is really gone, it would be good, because this man is the one who committed the crime, then he should be punished by the law. But if 'she' is still there, that person and punishment will be directed against It seems unreasonable to have two people, that is to say, two personalities.” I roughly checked the criminal law's sentencing guidelines for mentally ill persons. From a legal perspective, this means that a mentally ill person who has not completely lost the ability to recognize or control his own behavior commits a crime and should be held criminally responsible. But if your multiple personalities are at work, under the domination of other personalities, you will not be able to realize that your behavior is contrary to what most people think are normal behaviors and should bear criminal responsibility. So this is why the mentally ill are often effectively identified, and it is possible to avoid fulfilling criminal responsibility, for example, to be exempted from the death penalty. This point is very similar to the movie. Now you understand why there is a psychiatrist who runs through the movie from beginning to end, right? His task is to find the real murderer of the unknown personality. It can even be said that this terrifying killing was made by this doctor under the medication. I will explain this point later.
Going back to patient A, this real case really inspired me a lot. Maybe the world of mental patients is common, the only difference from us is that they have their own set of worldviews and live in a time and space that is different from ours. Well, let's get down to business, the patient's id (multiple studies have confirmed that this patient has only two personalities), he came back, where did "she" go? After the fifth interview he told the researcher: "I killed her". Why, he said frankly because he was eager to be punished by the law. As for the motive, it is very complicated and more worthy of study. I will not go into details in the book. Let's take a look at "The World of the Psycho", it is more commonly known as "The Genius is on the Left and the Madman is on the Right". So you guessed what I'm about to say, yes, multiple personalities can be eliminated under certain conditions, most of which are drug treatment, such as the psychiatrist in "Deadly ID" (this is the way the psychiatrist mentioned at the beginning). At that time, the doctor mentioned a certain drug, and in the face of the recording of the conversation, he made a cross on the ten villain signs on the paper one by one), and the result was the stage of this thrilling killing game that you saw. Yes, that's just the different personalities of the ten people who are all fat.
So the brilliance of this play is not simply the reasoning about who is the murderer in the killing game, its biggest suspense is the fighting between personalities under psychological intervention, who is the real murderer who kills those personalities, is trying to intervene with drugs to find The psychiatrist who turned out to be the real murderer or the character of the child who hid the most?
Let's take a look at these ten personalities in the movie: past actresses, newlyweds, ex-police drivers, fake cops, fake hotel owners, mothers of three, fathers of three, prison breakers, prostitutes. We can guess a little about the formation of these ten personalities. Just like the patient A we saw before, each personality may have the imprint of the fat man's childhood. For example, a past actress, we can guess that she is the vain side of the fat man, don't forget that his mother's file is guilty of theft, maybe this memory and influence about his mother is the incentive? There are also jailbreakers and fake cops, this is the evil and hypocritical side of the fat man. And the memory of the mother also created the personality of the mother of three, and the prostitute. The fat man's mother is a prostitute. The only person who seems to be kind is the driver. Could he be the fat man's self? But he died with the fake police later. And because the psychiatrist successfully awakened one of Fatty's personalities, the driver, at the hearing, Fatty successfully saved Fatty from the death penalty because of the sentencing methods for mentally ill patients that we had learned before. Well, now the killing game is over, only the congruent prostitute is left, she went to the south to grow willow trees. Then she is the only remaining personality of the fat man? You guessed wrong again, the real ID, beyond the expectations of the doctor and you and me, not ten, but eleven, yes, that child. On behalf of the fat man, he killed the prostitute who was the incarnation of the mother who gave him the shadow of his childhood. And this eleventh personality is also the he in that poem.
Jumping out of the killing game, I want to talk about the role of the psychiatrist. As the title of this review suggests, what kind of rulings are legal and ethical about such cases of psychosis and split personality, and how do the two base and define each other? Whether the judgment of the law is for the body or the soul, what is the legal purpose behind the determination of the legal responsibility of a patient with multiple personality disorder, and even the purpose of human nature and human rights, unfortunately, my knowledge is limited, and these are all in the information that I can find. There is no satisfyingly clear description, so this question is most worthy of exploration after this film. Fatty should definitely be subdued in the end, but the doctor didn't expect that Fatty still has the eleventh personality, and the doctor didn't expect that he was finally killed by the hidden eleventh personality after he assisted the hotel killing game with drugs. It's ironic that he wanted to save Fatty from the death penalty but was killed by him, but if you agree that each personality is a soul of the body of a guest, maybe this is revenge for the accomplices who killed the ten personalities.
