After watching it with my friend and having a heated discussion, she insisted that her intuition that the heroine (Park Shin-hye) is schizophrenic, I didn't agree with it at first, but there is a point in my plot that puzzled me, but it proved her intuition.
The first level of this story is that the female protagonist of the phone crossing unintentionally saved the female demon, and the female demon used the "time pincer" tactic to kill people insanely. As far as the concept is concerned, our ancestors have already shot countless of this type, and if this film falls into any category, there may be countless bugs.
How should you view this movie?
I assume that all this is the fantasy of the heroine Park Shin Hye, the so-called idealism, I think, therefore I am, and consciousness determines the world. Then all the bugs in this film are not a problem. This is the concept of "phantom lying", not a split personality. If there is a split personality, the female devil must exist, and she is the one who split, and the content of this film is evolved by the heroine based on her childhood memory.
Let me talk about the second level of interpretation.
The real story should be: in the memory of the heroine as a child, the mother was the kind that did not care much about the family and liked to paint nail polish (later, the heroine's nail polish was emphasized many times after the time and space changed). That day, my mother turned off the gas stove after applying her nail polish and went out. However, the safety instructions on the use of the gas stove were being played on the TV. The heroine should have thought about turning it off, but the twisting turned it upside down, resulting in the death of her father. This incident left a lingering shadow on the heroine's young mind. And rooting leads to mental problems.
The heroine is reluctant to admit that the death was caused by herself, she would rather believe that her mother did it, and slowly she got used to this lie. But deep down, she kept reminding herself that she was a murderer. Gradually, this idea grew up with her, and finally had an illusion of self-redemption in her mind.
The devil and the witch should be the owners of the house before she was a child. When she was a child, the heroine heard stories about their mother and daughter, and she had a terrifying cognition in her young heart. Of course, this will also grow with the heroine, and eventually When the heroine got sick, this so-called "telephone crossing redemption story" full of bugs was formed.
In the scene of seeing a doctor not long after the beginning, combined with the audio-visual language, it feels that the doctor is not talking about her mother's condition, but her. From this, it is inferred that the dream may have been generated during the operation.
Every time the time and space change, the director uses the so-called particle effect, which is more like the feeling of memory reconstruction or disappearance. From this point, it can be seen that the director's mind is not on the issue of time and space, but on the subjective idea.
The fire extinguisher appears repeatedly in the film, and the devil uses it as a murder weapon. In the end, the heroine also taught her mother to do this on the phone. (Anyway, I am so old and have no idea that a fire extinguisher can be used in this way.) The heroine unilaterally does not know that the devil uses a fire extinguisher to kill people, so right.
Why a fire extinguisher. I guess when the heroine was in an accident as a child, because she couldn't use a fire extinguisher, she couldn't save her father, and the fire extinguisher became another element.
One last point, and that's what I started with. Before the time before the heroine's mother and the police came, the young heroine was imprisoned by the demon king, so from the fact that the heroine is still alive, it can be known that the devil did not treat the heroine cruelly, but only scalded her. The content of this line has no substantial development, which makes me more convinced that all this is just the fantasy of the heroine.
To sum up, "Phantom Liars" is a bit like a dream. "Mulholland Drive" and "Last Night on Earth" both reintegrated the fragments of the protagonist's memory to create a fantasy world, and the movie can show it. come out.
It is said that this film is "parallel time and space + serial killers" with too many logic bugs, or "psychoanalysis + phantom lies", which is more advanced, or whether it is a combination of two new explorations, it is up to the audience to judge. Personally, I feel better than "Mirage" but it is a bit like "The House of Weima".

Many times, people think that if I changed a certain node in the past, what will happen now? For example, if I was admitted to the film school at the beginning, I might be a big star now. You only think about a point in the past and the space at this time. You can’t make up the process of studying and struggling. Isn't the bug that everyone complained about in this film exactly this logic? So from another point of view, this bug has become the key to interpretation.
