So psychiatrist is a profession that I yearn for and fear.

Turn around! !

Another film that successfully deceived me! The last one was a fatal id and gave it five stars! This four stars is because the final reversal is not exciting enough, so I deduct one star. But it has exceeded my expectations! ! Who would have thought that I was about to take all the characters in the film as Charlie and forgot the most likely murderer! Anyway, my jaw didn't close when I finally learned that Charlie was my father...

In fact, think about all this, and it makes sense. After watching several films, I feel that the one that fits my heart the most is "the daughter's dual personality and the father's dual personality are randomly assigned." Otherwise, if the father is a dual personality, it would be too abrupt for the daughter to scratch the baby's face. The father had a double because his wife cheated, and the daughter had a double because he saw his father kill his mother. horrible. What appears to be two people's lives has always been four people. In other words, in fact, David's personality only exists temporarily in his father's body, and Charlie's personality is the one that occupies the main body for a long time. And in David's normal person, all the strange things are done by the daughter: the daughter plays ghosts in the bathroom, the daughter talks strangely, the daughter scratches the doll, the daughter pushes people, the daughter has a dual personality, the daughter is entangled with people outside, All is the daughter's problem, and he is just a poor old father who wants to save his daughter. The little girl is different from her father. She has always had the memory of two personalities, and she can see the good and the bad clearly. Therefore, in a normal personality, she would be afraid to tell her father that her father was Charlie, and she would cry out. Don't want to play with Charlie but Charlie won't let her go. In the second personality, he dares to do anything.

In fact, children are in a way more candid than adults, aren't they? In order to escape reality, my father even clearly separated David and Charlie. The little girl has always been able to clearly see and feel her dual personality. The good and the bad are all accepted, instead of playing the role of a good father detached and independent like the first perspective of the film (father's perspective), and the bad guys are all others.

It is not the child who wants to play hide-and-seek, but the father who does not want to return to real life, as David's father. Playing hide-and-seek requires playmates. Daughter is the best playmate, so she can't have dolls, and she can't have friends, because Charlie is the daughter's only friend.

Selfish.

But as David's father, he is pitiful. His daughter's heart is getting farther and farther, and David's heart is getting farther and farther.

Like a loser who lost the world

It seems that psychiatrists are not omnipotent, and even more terrifying when they are crazy.

As for the daughter's role, I still don't know a few things: why does the little girl know that her father will wake up at 2:06, what does it mean to stay at the door three times and close the door once? Why did the new home look at the road leading to the stone cave first, what did the little girl touch the basement for the first time, and so on and so on. But it's not worth mentioning because of Wan Ning's beautiful little face and great acting skills.

Although I saw the shadow of Orphan Resentment and Deadly ID in him, I liked both of them very much, so I gave Hide and Seek a high rating! It would be even better if the ending could be a little clearer and more concise! That is pure and pure five-star!
