The real name of the film is "The Tenant". I think this real name has a double meaning, which is very good. I am too lazy to complain about these translations.

A thriller needs darkness to unleash all its energy. The ubiquitous details are the foreshadowing of the film, which is really the film's forte; the just right and easy shots are like a big production; Hilary Swank's superb acting skills make people sigh that the actress is worthy of being an actress. The male protagonist is quite satisfactory. He is a third-tier actor. It is not bad to have such a performance. It is understandable that it is not easy to play against the actress. There are too few supporting roles and the acting skills are too poor.

The script describes a minor mental problem in detail. In recent years, there have been enough mental problems:

let's get along, if it doesn't fit, we will separate.
Let's get along and never be apart.

The two psychological states obviously depend on the growth path. The more extensive social group belongs to the above one, and the more lonely one is of course the following psychology. The contradiction stems from the difference in the social purpose of two kinds of people: one is to find a partner, the other is to find a partner. For the former, socializing is very easy, like buying clothes and picking and choosing; for the latter, socializing is a kind of courage, and efforts must be rewarded, not just casual shopping. Are there more psychological problems in society, or are the recent films more involved?

Do all "evil" have the original intention of "good" in their hearts, but is the method too radical? For example: we pray, which is normal stress release; we play two people talking in an empty room, which is schizophrenia. Too much is too much, the mean is the way. When you need to release stress, it is better to find a normal way. Open the curtains and let the sun pass warm our hearts.
