When I watched this film for the first time, I didn't know what to say about this film. After reading a lot of Douyou's film reviews, I was still confused, so I watched it again and felt that I was still inclined to say multiple personalities. The whole movie is a story of a female hypnotist who over-hypnotized a boyfriend who was morbidly attached to her, which eventually led to a split between the personality and the hero, and the heroine used hypnosis to save him. First of all, we need to mention a few settings. Welcome to make a brick. 1. The film is built on the multiple hypnotic realms built by psychologists, similar to the dream-in-dream in Inception. From the very beginning of the film, it is in the first hypnotic dream. The whole film is basically in the real world and only the heroine recalls that part at the end of the film. , and some evidence will be presented later; 2. The so-called "Witch in the Air" painting is not a painting, but a symbol, which can be the id of the male protagonist, or in other words, if you have it, you will have his spirit Control of the world (proposed at the beginning of the story, Rembrandt is in the painting, "right in there"); 3. Multiple personalities, the stealing gangs appearing in the film are all different personalities of simon, and they interact with each other Containment and connection are likely to be implanted by the female protagonist in order to get rid of the male protagonist's excessive hypnosis, such as greed, deception, stealing, etc. The following is an explanation of the plot.
At the beginning of the film, the heroine built the first layer of hypnosis for Simon. A large part of the narration is actually Simon's self-control subconscious, which is a self-consciousness that can be freed from hypnotic control. There is a similar plot in the back. When the heroine wanted to hypnotize Simon for the second time (that is, the time when he held the ipad to open the memory), Simon's subconscious observation in the memory reminded the second-level hypnotic Simon "Frank is going to open it", As a result, the male protagonist knocked down Frank with a stun stick. The next step is to steal the plot. The plot seems smooth and foolproof, but there are some loopholes in it. We can speculate that this is the first layer of fantasy world that the hypnotist built for Simon, but it cannot be as perfect as the real world. For example, a person with a broken head walks on the road without anyone paying attention, and hides the painting somewhere else safely. Will the police not suspect that the guard is stealing, and we can see in the later episodes that there are some in the parking lot. From the surveillance video, and Simon fainted from the parking lot, it is impossible for the police to ignore this part; besides, since the painting has been lost, why hasn't anyone tracked down the thieves who stole the painting, when they were stealing the painting Do you have time to prepare a windbreaker in the basement, not even a mask? How many people there can see them and recognize them. Afterwards, they can still run around freely. If that wasn't obvious enough, the director has a few more hints at the back.
Continuing, simon was admitted to the hospital and started a journey with only his own personality, this is because he hid the "painting", and then the doctor asked him two questions before leaving the hospital, the first is can you go? The second question is do you know who you are? This is a little strange, because we know that brain surgeons don't rely on you knowing who you are when judging whether a patient can be discharged from the hospital, which is usually a question that is asked at the end of the operation. And the male protagonist's answer is also rather strange, he is a little hesitant, when does a person hesitate about who he is? It can only be when self-identification is hindered. The doctor here is probably also a character implanted by the hypnotist, which indicates that the male protagonist is not in a state of avoidance. He must go out from here and face other personalities. And the first thing the male protagonist does when he gets home is to see a book buried in a pile of debris, which is the book that the male protagonist and the female protagonist discussed in the real world later. This should not be a coincidence, it may be that the female protagonist is a male The master made up the first level of hypnosis for the male protagonist to see, to pave the way for further hypnosis.
Next, the stealing painting gang began to torture Simon to extract a confession, but found nothing. Because the male protagonist chose to forget this memory in order to protect himself. Next, the female protagonist intervenes. First, she has to deceive the male protagonist's first level of consciousness and let him relax completely on himself, so as to successfully bring the male protagonist into the second level of hypnosis. Here is a close-up of the place where the heroine works, "Harley street 245", which is a famous street in the United Kingdom, where many famous doctors live, and it is also the name of a famous medical organization. The name has a strong connotation. Next, in the consultation room, he appeared many times the influence of past memories on his current consciousness. For example, when hanging his clothes, the hostess asked him if he had ever been hypnotized, and so on. And the heroine discovered the bug, which proves that the heroine has to deal with his multiple personalities at the same time. The heroine helps Simon to retrieve his memories, but also to find out the "painting", so as to restore the control of his self-consciousness over his personality. At this time, the male protagonist's past memories jumped out clearly for the first time. It was knocking on the glass to remind the female protagonist who was on the phone, because this episode was the main plot that caused the male protagonist to break out later. At this time, other personalities came out to intervene, because other personalities didn't want the heroine to get "painting". In order to further enter the male protagonist's spiritual world, the heroine asked a few questions for him during the second hypnosis consultation, one of which was "How many are there?". If it is the real world, if the heroine decides to join this organization from the beginning, it doesn't matter how many people there are outside, and the only reason why the heroine asks this question is to know how many personalities the hero has split. So after gaining the trust of the male protagonist (I can help you), I took the initiative to join the organization and began to look for paintings.
Next, the heroine successfully entered the first-level hypnotic world of the male protagonist. At this time, we heard a narration in the Chinese teahouse. We should pay attention. Listening to the voice is Simon's narration, but Simon did not appear at this time. , he and the heroine were discussing fear, in which there was a sentence "We have four people, but we are all afraid of you". We know that there are four people in addition to the simon stealing gang, so the four of us here can only refer to the other four personalities of simon. This conversation turned into a heroine and said to frank that you don't have to be afraid, then Down is the dialogue between the heroine and frank, this dialogue implies that frank and simon are one person. The heroine said that Simon is very unique, easy to get in and out of trance, and at the same time, the inner world is very rich, there are "fear, resentment, anger", why do you think he did it? This sounds a bit logical. If the heroine said that Simon was very timid, it could not be that what he did was more reasonable, then the latter two characteristics did not increase the strength of her argument, and then the heroine asked what do you think he is? Did you steal it for yourself, are you pretty sure? This part is the female lead's exploration of the male lead's other personalities, and Frank's personality has a strong sense of self-protection, and he quickly rejected the female lead's further intervention. At this time, the heroine proposed cooperation and asked for the same status. This is not because of greed. If this is the real world, the heroine does not need to fight for this percentage of interests. She will end up taking it all by herself anyway. Therefore, what is pursued here is the equality of the spiritual world in order to exert sufficient influence. At this time, the heroine said a sentence, "If you want to make progress, you must surpass other people." This sentence can be completely understood as if you want to eventually become the main personality, you must surpass other personalities. At this time, the heroine has gradually begun to use the character of frank to help herself do things.
Going a step further, the female protagonist broke into the internal organization, intending to further hypnotize the male protagonist. This is a detail we can notice. In this room and on the roof of the house, the director has given many close-ups of a red fluorescent sign. The sign reads the meaning of the word "analog". We all know It means simulation and virtuality. The director hints us that this layer is not the real world. Then came the second-level hypnosis of the male protagonist, and in the second-level hypnosis, our female protagonist and his multiple personalities entered his hypnosis, which proved that the female protagonist has the ability to bring herself and multiple personalities into the male protagonist's hypnotic world. . But the hypnosis failed this time, because the male protagonist was still afraid of other personalities and didn't want to give up the initiative. Later, the male protagonist's memory of his gambling appeared. He said that he gambled more and more, so that he borrowed money from frank. Note that this is contrary to the memory of the female protagonist. The memory of the female protagonist is that Simon said that he could support himself. The plot of gambling in Simon's impression is exactly the same as the plot in the heroine's memory, which overturns the inference that Simon's gambling addiction has become more and more serious after treatment and will eventually lead to heavy debts. Next is the heroine's analysis of stealing the painting of the Gang of Four. At this time, the black character was the first to collapse, and Frank still showed the strongest sense of self-protection. Next, the heroine focused on the character of frank and began to use his hints. Later, frank said that she used me to use all of us.
Then there is the country trip. This is still Simon's double hypnosis. In the double hypnosis, more and more memory fragments fall back to the second hypnosis. At this time, the painting by Rembrandt appears, indicating that Simon After further examining my own heart, I began to recall the Tibetan paintings in the first layer of hypnotic dreams (the first iPad commercial). Self-consciousness is on the sidelines, explaining why Simon shocks Frank, and wakes up Simon himself. Because this memory is the memory of the first layer of dreams, and the memory of the real world begins to recover. I suspect that the French woman with soy sauce is another identity that the female protagonist implanted in the male protagonist's dream. Then there are two intertwined plots, the heroine and simon, the heroine and frank. These are the plots of the first layer of dreams. Let’s talk about Simon’s branch first. The heroine tries to gain clues by establishing an intimate relationship with Simon. At this time, Simon’s self-awareness begins to recover, so it appears that the hotel has been visited in the real world, and the waiter is in the real world. The waiter who made the male protagonist suspicious and misunderstood. The scene of knocking on the glass also appeared again. The male protagonist has begun to distrust the female protagonist, so the hypnosis of the female protagonist has become weak. In Frank's line, the heroine successfully seduced Frank, and Frank's personality also showed his suspiciousness and self-protection awareness, so there was a bug plot. The conversation between the heroine and frank here is very interesting, that is, before they entered frank's house, frank said that he didn't want to touch you (this plot was not explained before, how did frank know about it), and when asked why, the heroine said ask yourself. This shows that this is the reason why Frank should know, this can only show that Frank is another personality in the male protagonist's inner world, and he will know. At this time, the black personality appeared, found the situation of the heroine and frank, and went to report it. At the same time, the heroine woke up and started to look through the drawer of the hero, and found a gun, saying that I will never forget that you are a criminal. The female protagonist is also struggling with which character of the male protagonist should be left in the end. The female protagonist cannot completely trust this personality. The female protagonist shakes whether she wants to reveal the truth to the character of frank, but frank refuses, and the background music is played at this time. She turned into a low voice of the heroine, once again confirming that it is not the real world. At this time, I gave the hostess's bag several close-ups. At this time, the hostess had taken Frank's gun away. Here is a passage of the heroine's hypnosis to a woman who has been raped, which is likely to be the heroine's hypnotic suggestion to herself.
Next, the heroine went home. Note that the heroine's clothes have changed at this time. This is already Simon's dream. The heroine begins to capture Simon's personality again, and the hero once again trusts the heroine. From the time when the heroine said close your eyes, the hero entered a hypnotic dream on the second floor (sitting naked by the bed), dreaming that he came out of the building, and then began to confront the Gang of Four, the TV screen repeated Simon No. The scene of a ball game when you meet Frank once, implying that it is not true. Then there were four breakfasts on the table. Simon heard other people's conspiracy. It was just that Simon's sense of self-protection began to expand and began to doubt other personalities. The heroine was stabilizing him and guided him step by step to find a gun to kill other personalities. (As mentioned earlier, the female protagonist said that only if he kills other people can he tell the secret), we should remember that the female protagonist has already taken the gun in the first-level dream, and the male protagonist was killed in the second-level dream. The female lead led it, so the female lead knew through the phone that the male lead opened the first drawer, and the gun was placed in the second drawer by the female lead. Then the male protagonist told the female protagonist the location of the "painting" before one shot. Behind is the famous half-brain speaker, and Simon's second-floor dream woke up, the heroine also went out to find the painting, and left him a gun without bullets, in order to allow him to protect himself and not let him be human killing each other. Other personalities discovered the heroine, the situation became tense, other personalities became stronger, and Frank's status began to be shaken. The heroine left the bullet to the hero, and the hero began to destroy other personalities. At this time, he said to the heroine, "You already knew", Simon's self-awareness began to awaken, and the heroine desperately kept the personality of Frank, It was because she began to feel the danger of simon's character. With the awakening of Simon's self-consciousness, "Is it all in my mind? (I mean, these are all made up in my mind); Is there something hidden in my brain?" The heroine felt Couldn't hide it anymore, so I started revealing what happened in the real world to simon. Simon threatens frank, keeps insisting that I have free will, which means that he can not be controlled by the hypnotist, that is, the consciousness will be awakened. The heroine begins to tell, and Simon's self-awareness and memory are gradually awakened. Note that the hair here does not mean hair, but refers to the hair in special parts. The plot of the witch in the air is mentioned here, so this painting is used as a symbol. When it comes to the plot of stealing paintings, the heroine has begun to connect reality with a layer of dreams. Why does the heroine know that Simon has killed a person? This can only be because this is a character implanted by the heroine in a dream, so the heroine knows that this character is dead. After simon gave the painting to the heroine, he said, I don't want him anymore, I don't even know what I really did, maybe (you hold it) can tell me. At this time, the character of Simon was completely desperate, and felt that he would never be able to control himself. Finally decided to destroy the character of frank. So the heroine stopped him and said that you don't need to do this (jade and stone are burned), and the hero said that I want to forget everything you did to me. It means that the heroine's hypnosis is going to fail completely.
At this time, the heroine rushed out and gave "Painting" a close-up, indicating that the heroine has the ability to control the hero's personality, so he finally decided to keep the personality of frank. Frank woke up and was still in the first hypnosis (see the same postman), the hostess explained the whole story to him (the second ad on the ipad), I will always hold your id world, because I paid too much for it . . . I think the last words are just to leave a suspenseful ending and deduct the topic, "Remember or forget, it's your choice".
In fact, there are still some things that are not very smooth to explain in this way. For example, at the beginning, the heroine searched for the plot of Simon on the Internet, and cried. If it is interpreted as the real world, it is also unreasonable, because the heroine obviously knows about stealing paintings and does not need to search on the Internet. I think it can only be interpreted as a plot that was implanted in the first layer of dreams for Simon to think reasonable. The Lord's cry may also be to make simon trust him more.
All in all, this is a film that makes people look at the clouds and mountains. At my rookie level, it can only be said that the camera sense is very good, and the two male gods are still very good.
