original scene is the mother who killed the prostitute when she was a child.
To cover up this trauma, 10 personalities were split. The deity is timmy. After killing his mother, the male protagonist stopped growing, and he has always been fixed on timmy at the moment of killing.
Among the split personalities, the two most important and brightest are the kind and upright retired police officer larry and the brave and beautiful prostitute paris, who represent the idealized self and the idealized mother respectively. Their existence is the self-rescue of the deity and also the symptom of the deity: they bravely perish with the big bad guy (scapegoat), in order to realize the mother's wish (imagined for the mother): to be good, to return to the hometown, and to have a piece of idyllic poetry.
But this self-rescue failed, because the motive of this self-rescue is also the motive of mother-killing: to kill her, because I want to monopolize her (destroy her independence, treat her as a part of myself, even her dreams must be fulfilled) she prescribes); but the monopoly is frustrated because the mother is a prostitute. Later, my mother decided to be kind and love herself, which just proved that she could not monopolize her (whether she abandons herself or loves herself, it all depends on her free will, I have absolutely no control over her), so the desire for monopoly was frustrated again. Hence the mother-killing. Larry helps Paris escape the night of murder with love and helps her realize her dream of returning home. This self-rescue is actually another attempt to monopolize her mother. So basically another mother-killing.
As a result, the deity timmy's wish to grow into a handsome boy larry (hehe larry is indeed a little handsome~) failed (TO BE larry is a desire to establish oneself, and BEING timmy is a desire to stick to ego, the cause is that the latter is stronger than the former), Self-rescue failed. timmy regained control of his entire body, eliminating all desires except maintaining the ego.
What exactly is the desire of ego?
Guessed right, that kills the doc. Father-killing, the classic father-killing. Moms are bad moms; dads are bad men. doc selflessly helped the deity, healed him, defended him, in a word, all in order to let the murderer timmy personality (ego) die and the ego larry personality to stay—or build (doc got it wrong, he didn’t. It's time to say stay with me to larry; it's time to say stand up to me). This is the taboo for the mentally ill. His problem stems from his unwillingness to grow up and to accept the insertion of the patriarchy - if the annoying patriarchy wants to take away the mother, then kill him. So in the end - self-rescue (what self-rescue! Is it actually doc's wishful treatment? In the eyes of the deity timmy personality, it's actually a disturbance and aggression?) Failure, growth failure, and late father-killing finally succeeded.
This is a faithful, clichéd, complex, engaging, application problem for psychoanalysis. The above bunch of adjectives, isn't it a precise description of the prisoner of psychoanalysis?
ps. Several other non-core personalities are actually interesting, and the non-core plot of the film is also interesting. They are clever and echoing from time to time, but I am too lazy to pick them up. Because the more I pick it up, the more I feel that the maze of ego changes is indescribable, but I am not a prisoner of psychoanalysis!
