You can learn about the psychology of personality disorders through this film.

Susanna (Winona Ryder) has borderline personality disorder and Lisa (Angelina Jolie) has antisocial personality disorder.

Antisocial personality disorder, with strong aggressiveness and greater harm. In the film, Lisa believes that she can see through the hypocrisy of the world, she tells the truth about Daisy's plight, and drives the fragile D who has not recovered to death. In contrast, borderline personality disorder is somewhere between the disease and the non-disease. The main symptoms are emptiness, mood swings, polarized handling of interpersonal relationships, self-harm or suicidal tendencies, and are quite similar to depression.

Personality disorders mostly arise from childhood experiences. The core of borderline personality disorder is to constantly use extreme methods to prove the value of existence. It is difficult to cure because it is difficult to help her (him) rebuild her self-worth; the core of antisocial personality disorder lies in hatred or non-integration of society, which often stems from bad childhood experiences. It is difficult to cure because it is extremely difficult for doctors to establish communication with such people, let alone a mutual trust mechanism.

Susanna recovered and was discharged from the hospital through the analysis of Lisa's case. And Lisa also realized her own problems through communication with Susanna. This ending is too ideal.

The director of the film later directed "Deadly ID" about split personality. The latter one is more complete than this one.

This film is not suitable for elementary school students to watch. Middle school students must be accompanied by their parents.
