Opinion 1 : Migg is a real character, and he was killed by Tom in the
end
, Tom's colleague is a key role in the whole film, and is the criterion for distinguishing reality from illusion.
Let me tell you the basis of my opinion: First of all, Migg's behavior logic from beginning to end is very complete, and the intention is to gain Tom's trust first, and use Tom's Depressed mental state made him break away from society, abandon himself, and eventually turned him into a homeless man who couldn't support himself. According to the description in the opening sequence, he is begging between the two cars, and he may have witnessed Gerri's car crash and Tom's collapse that night.
When Migg was alone in the film, he deleted Steve's messages to Tom, hid Tom's phone, and stole ten pounds from Tom's grandmother. If Migg is a personality of Tom's essence, doing these things is too inappropriate. logic too.
On top of that, the last body Steve saw in the bathtub, someone must have been killed by Tom.
Besides, Gerri, this is what Tom distinguished, the mental pillar that Tom imagined to save himself from the slump. Look at Gerri's next four appearances, the first time Migg has just entered Tom's life, Tom is defending Migg, saying that he knows the great writer and has a good chat with him, Gerri is pissed off, this is Gerri just got into a car accident Before long, Tom didn't dare to face the reality that Gerri was dead, preferring to think that he was mad at him and ran away. In the second appearance, Tom was still defending Migg, saying that he was a writer. At this time, Tom was still escaping pain in his heart, so he chose to stay away from his past life, and even drove Gerri away. Migg was still Tom's life-saving straw. In the third appearance, Tom had almost nothing at this time, and Migg had a decent job and gave him money. Tom was completely stimulated. At this time, Gerri appeared and told him that Migg did not exist, it was him Conceivably, all he had to do to get rid of Migg was to get rid of him from his mind.
This gave Tom the courage to kill Migg, because it wasn't a real murder, it was just a psychological removal of the man's imagination. His self-talk frightened Migg, who asked Tom in horror if everything was okay?
So the last time Gerri came out, Tom still didn't accept that Gerri was dead, and he made himself feel that Gerri was alive and living with him. And Migg imagined it by himself, so he regarded Migg's body as nothing.
By the way, if you look closely at the footage of Migg lying in the bathtub, you can probably tell that the name on the badge is Migg Malcolm.

    Relatively speaking, I like the third story "Tom and Jerry" the most. The development of the plot is completely unexpected, and it keeps reversing. It can surprise me at the end, which is very powerful.
