First of all, I personally agree with split personality. I think that Simon and Frank are actually the same person, not just Simon and Frank, but the remaining three supporting actors are Frank's split personalities. For a very simple and illogical reason: because I don't think the setting of this film is like a robbery or something that kills for money and Elizabeth doesn't really look like a woman and two husbands.
Then I will talk about my understanding in a clumsy way (but I only read it once, I can't remember many details, and I watched it in English without subtitles, and I passed by without understanding a lot of words, understanding may be There is a big deviation):
0. First of all, the whole story is actually a story about a psychiatrist's girlfriend domesticating her bad-tempered boyfriend. Elizabeth uses various psychological suggestions and hypnosis to make her boyfriend's personality bad part of the kill.
1. There should be no real thing about stealing paintings, and it should be said that it has not been successful. I was in tears when I saw Elizabeth go to Google to investigate this matter, and I thought that if Danny Paul was really satisfied with the performance, then the emotion that the tears wanted to express this time should be moved and not something else, so Elizabeth cried It means that someone she loves has done something for her that she feels sacrificed a lot.
2. So the theft of paintings did happen but it didn't work. There was indeed a man named simon who was a staff member of the auction house. He was injured and was praised. There was the old man from the unit when he lay in the hospital. The boss came to visit him, and the media came to interview him, so after he was discharged from the hospital, he wanted to go to his boss, but the expression on his face seemed to be unable to remember who the old man was, indicating that the Simon at this time was just a personality and not Simon himself. The real simon should go back to work safely after being discharged from the hospital~ (good wishes)
3. The person who lost a lot of money in gambling was Frank. There was a simon who wanted to steal a painting, so he went to find Frank. In the scene where Frank was betting and losing, but the ball didn't go in, he was very angry, indicating that he lost badly, and Later, when Simon shot and killed everyone for the first time in his consciousness, the missed shot appeared again, which implied that the personality of Simon was killing other personalities.
4. On the eve of the killing in Simon's first consciousness, there was a scene where one of the thieves trio was cooking. It just so happened that Simon was also cooking when Simon recalled and Elizabeth explained the female nude in the painting. Besides, the trio of thieves had no reason to make breakfast (standard English breakfast with bacon sausages). It can be seen that this trio is just a personality of Frank, but not the main personality. The main personality is reflected in Simon and Frank. . The thing that black people fear most is being buried alive. That's what Frank fears the most.
5. The black personality is an existence that makes Elizabeth unhappy from start to finish. This personality has a high sexual desire, which may suggest that Frank has had compulsive sex with Elizabeth, and is jealous (running to tell simon Elizabeth to have sex with someone else), and has also tried to threaten the main character Frank to take pictures. But in the end, he was killed by the angry Simon character.
6. The car accident didn't happen, and Simon didn't kill the little girl. Elizabeth couldn't be so accurate in sending a bring it to me to Simon when he happened to be holding the painting, and the phrase "bring it to me" There are two times when Simon is hit by a car, once by a red car, and once by Elizabeth, which can only mean one thing: bringing it to me is Elizabeth hypnotizing one of Frank's personalities 's prompt. When Simon saw this sentence, he would instantly think of Elizabeth breaking up with him, and then he killed the little girl in his anger, but in the end, when the personality of Simon threatened Frank's main personality Autonomy made him realize that Elizabeth was planning all this, but Elizabeth managed to kill it.
7. But the plan did not follow Elizabeth's plan completely, because as a psychiatrist, she should not have to kill her split personality by herself when she dominates her personality, so in the end she had to change her plan and come out to Simon. The reason for the story with Frank is because she didn't expect that the character simon would threaten Frank himself, nor that Frank and the other little personalities would prevent him from getting the painting. That picture represents Frank's deepest love for Elizabeth, for his love that can go down the mountain and down the fire, but there is still a strong anger in Frank's personality, Elizabeth thought that she was sleeping with Frank and Simon in her consciousness. This anger can be resolved, but she underestimated the complexity of Frank's heart, so in the end she had to kill Simon herself.
8. Why is Simon so fascinated by Rembrandt's nautical painting, and he said that he was most fascinated by Rembrandt himself in the painting he painted, which implies that his personality is also like that painting Like the many sailors in the painting, the true self is hidden in this.
9. The sentence Elizabeth and Frank said when they discovered the pistol after a night of passion: I should always remember you are a criminal, which is to imply that Frank's personality is very evil, rage and gambling, etc., so Elizabeth and Frank's The feelings didn't come suddenly. In the end, Elizabeth said through the ipad that this picture should remind me of Simon, but when I think of you, I actually said: stupid, I forgive you. Elizabeth also said that she hopes Frank can find her, and this is the rhythm of reunion. . . But why did Elizabeth lie to Frank at the end to say that these messed up things really happened, because Frank didn't want to know that his girlfriend was so awesome that he transformed his personality, so Elizabeth pointed on the ipad. The meaning of that picture is: if you still love me, keep looking for me, if you don't love me anymore, let's just say goodbye to you and press the trance button.
10. Speaking of which, let’s talk about the scene, Elizabeth’s psychedelic big orange home and Frank’s dazzling home with a similar decoration style are not real, Simon’s home is real, I still remember Simon just came home and Simon's home when he cooks for Elizabeth in his memories is very normal, not so fluorescently decorated, but when Elizabeth is naked, Simon's home becomes a lot of fluorescent yellow walls and glass, so that is to say Whenever this psychedelic furniture background appears, say it is already in consciousness.
11. So it can be summed up as follows: Elizabeth met Frank because he wanted to quit gambling, but the two later had a conflict. Elizabeth used to hypnotize him while he continued to help him quit gambling, and let him start a game of personality and personality in his heart. In the struggle, Elizabeth set in Frank's mind that a priceless painting was the only way to win her heart, and Simon did everything possible to get the painting that he himself said I never really want it. Turns out who ever thought that Frank actually tried to steal a painting in the real world, but it didn't work, that's why Elizabeth cried when she searched Google, even though Frank was violent at times but all of his personalities wanted that The picture shows that he loves Elizabeth very much, so Elizabeth decides to save her little lover. In the end, after Elizabeth directed and acted the play, she felt that the parties should be given the right to choose. After all, it was Frank's own personality who was killed, so Elizabeth gave an option of trance.
12. When I first watched the movie, I always felt that even though Simon did something wrong, he was not guilty of death. Elizabeth was too cruel. How could she kill it? No government police came out to take care of it. Later, I analyzed it. It took a long time to understand that people are active in the subconscious, naturally unscrupulous, and Simon is not just a personality.
13. But of course, since it is a wild inference, then according to the title of the film, Trance, it may also be inferred that it is the dream of Simon, a small staff member, when he was in a coma in the hospital after his head was injured, so in fact, in the end, Simon is excellent. The injured young man was still in a coma and could not wake up. . .
After writing so much, I feel a little confused about writing to myself. . .
