Multiple personalities are dissociative personality disorders, usually more than two or more, but they do not produce illusions. They are independent individuals. Often the master does not know that there is a sub-personality, but the sub-personality may be. Possess the memory of the master, or do not know each other.
After understanding the above two points, let's talk about the movie. The biggest time clue of the movie is the torn photo and the trace of the ring. The movie also shows up at most, taking the photo with the wife.
Then, in the film, the black scenes began to flash and the huge fantasy began to appear, and it was all real life before.
Then I will tell a story that the director did not explicitly say.
Anthony is a rich second-generation, but has a dream of an actor. In some movies, he marries a blonde girl, lives in a luxury apartment and likes to eat blueberries. . Anthony is a sex addicted person. He was too depressed when his wife was pregnant. He spawned a schizophrenia, that is, the person who entered the sex club with him, that is, the security guard afterwards. This person is not real, and It is an illusion, the dark side of inner desire. (Why is it illusory? Pay attention to the segment after the security guard opened the door for him. The door opened and the security was outside, but the camera was switched. There was no one outside the door. The protagonist closed the door without any leaving footsteps, and there was no sound in the club. Any security shots)
After going to the club, his desire broke out irresistibly, so he derailed, often opening a room at No.221 XX Inn.
But when the house was opened, the gunmate found the ring marks on his left hand finger. The two people quarreled. They had a car accident on the way home. There were scars on the chest. The gunmate was probably dead and he was pregnant by his wife. Found a derailment.
So his wife left him, and Anthony split into a personality to escape reality under the blame of his wife leaving and the death of his artillery friend. This is the protagonist Adam of the opening film. Bell.
Adam has no memory of his wife. He tore away the photos and moved to a very ordinary apartment. He doesn't like blueberries, is taciturn, and ceases to be an actor. He went to be an associate professor of university history. Adam can be said to be Anthony. The complete opposite of. (Why Adam is a vice-personality, because there is no third person in the film who calls the protagonist Adam, and everyone who sees him calls her Anthony)
Put aside the club scene, the pregnant woman scene. The normal timeline of the film begins. A mother’s message tells us that the male lead has changed to a new apartment, and it is very bad, and the mother is a little bit blind to it. (Here is a clue that the male lead used to have a good apartment. The
next step is to show that the male protagonist is a history university professor, has a girlfriend, and his life remains unchanged, and there is no ring mark on his hands (because it has been divorced for a while, the ring mark has disappeared, this is a very obvious time (Clues) Until at the same time, I accidentally recommended a movie. After the male lead saw it, he had a dream. He subconsciously discovered that there is a actor who looks like himself in the movie. In fact, this is completely subconscious. Normal people can't find the movie at all. Long Tao looks like himself, and this is also showing that Anthony and Adam are the same person afterwards.
So he came to the actor's name, found more movies, and took out a torn old photo for comparison, then ran to the agency, accidentally learned the actor's real name, and got one Enclose a private letter.
Through the letter, he knew the address of the actor and found the phone number, so he called. From here, the male protagonist is not just multiple personalities, his schizophrenia begins again. The wife Helen who answered the phone didn’t exist at all, she was completely remedying it. The director also gave us proof that Helen did not exist. When Helen went to the university to find the male lead, a pair of passersby passed by, and Helen passed through the passers-by. The two people who walked together on the road in the country, saw the pregnant woman walk forward without giving way and casually?
Then after the call was hung up, the camera flashed variously, which also indicated that the male protagonist began to suffer from severe schizophrenia.
Afterwards, all the shots about Anthony, Helen, and everything were made by the male protagonist based on his previous character and his wife’s impression. That Anthony did not exist. The proof lies in the section of room 221 of the xx inn. The male protagonist was advanced The door, he has the key, so after swiping his card to come in, Anthony, where's the room card, in fact, all this is completely Adam's own fantasy, a real self before.
At that time, Adam suspected that he had multiple personalities and had schizophrenia. So Anthony, who he imagined, followed Mary, and offered to go out with Mary to have sex on the weekend, but in fact he wanted to face the wife of Helen in his heart.
Anthony and Mary went out and had sex and the part of the car accident was completely Adam’s own brain supplement, and it was also the side telling us that the same thing had happened in the past.
In the shot, Adam came to Anthony’s apartment on foot. Because the car was driven away by Anthony, and the address was so far away, how Adam walked, so the plot of Anthony driving Mary away is Adam’s fantasy
. Entering the apartment, the security appears. This security is the dark side of Adam’s heart. Especially in the elevator, the dialogue between the security and Anthony is like an instigation. Under the leadership of the security, Adam enters the previous apartment, which is actually Adam. The door opened by himself, the security does not exist, he himself knows where his previous home is, and then it is the climax of the whole show, a complete fantasy, because the complete picture of the husband and wife appeared, so all the shots are unreal. It was just a process for Adam to find himself. He wanted to be Helen’s husband. He used a car accident in his head to kill Anthony in order to pursue the unity of personality. On the morning of the second day, he opened the envelope and planned to go there again. Helen disappeared during the sex club, so he saw a spider, Helen did not exist!
