Isabelle in "Flower and Moon" cut off her long hair and became Chloe in "Double Lover" with a new image and professional identity. This is the prelude to the movie. Immediately we saw what Fummer called "an opening never seen before in the history of cinema", that is, our eyes were drawn out of the vagina and merged into Chloe's eyes on the hospital bed, which was "her"'s other eye to perceive the world. On the first viewing, I naturally focused my attention and the sense of division created by the film on the twin brothers Paul and Louis. After sorting out the plot, the second viewing focused on the double-faced Chloe. Therefore, my immediate interest as a participating builder is to distinguish Chloe's ontology and mirror image. When constructing the sense of ambiguity between the two, the director used dislocated visual symbols such as stairs, mirrors, and glass. The whole story begins when Chloe steps into the spiral staircase, and the visual extension of the staircase shape is very similar to the whirlpool of dreams. In Paul's consultation paragraph, Chloe's split screen was also directly processed, and the two images were on the same screen. And mirrors are almost ubiquitous in the movie, except for the mirrors installed in the two consultation rooms, as well as the make-up mirror in the bathroom of Chloe's new home and the second-degree reflection mirror, as well as the sick girl Schenker staircase corridor Dao's mask, and there was a woman in the bathroom of the medical reception to touch up her makeup on the mirror. The number and size of the mirrors also fit the degree of Chloe's avatar to a certain extent. Therefore, the largest and most numerous mirrors in the entire film appear in Louis's consultation room, starting with the polygonal mirror in the waiting area, where Chloe stands in front of the mirror to form a visual cut. Then enter the consultation room, there is a whole wall mirror. For the first time, when Ou Rong is dealing with this mirror, he builds the dialogue scene between the real image of one person and the mirror image of the other person, and constantly Zoom between real image and mirror image. There is also a huge assembled mirror on the back of the bed in the second consultation room, and the mirror cuts the portrait into pieces when the two have sex. A more important mirror appears in the doorway to the second clinic, and it is only exposed for the first time in a shooting scene that is the climax of the whole film. After Louis opened the door, Paul, who was dressed in exactly the same way as him, appeared at the door, and was reflected by the polygonal mirror to reveal multiple avatars. So far, Paul and Louis and their mirror images are completely superimposed. Moreover, we see that Paul/Louis is not killed directly, but with Chloe's bullet breaking the mirror, the other three mirrors disappear together. At the same time, Chloe's illness was triggered. As she entered the hospital, the whole The context of the story is basically clear. And how is this fictional world established? A simple look at the cast and crew shows that in addition to Louis/Paul being played by Jérémie Renier, the sick girl Schenker's mother and Chloe's mother, as well as the gynecologist and female psychiatrist Agnès are also played by the same person. Chloe's second identity is constructed by grabbing the archetypes in reality. They also include the cat-shaped brooch on her mother's neckline and Louis' birthday present; the neighbor Rose's sick and sick daughter Schenker (sister's name); Chloe's The tortoiseshell cats of Milo and Louis (it seems that the tortoiseshell cat appeared after Milo got lost, and needs to be verified). Also of note are the museum exhibits. Chloe, the exhibit custodian, spent almost all of the first four museum scenes staring blankly at the visitors and never looked at the exhibits. She was in the black wall between the two exhibits and seemed to blend in with the wall. . The last connection with the exhibit is the appearance of Louis/Paul, and the reveal of the most important plot and character status of the whole film. The themes of the exhibits are slightly related to the changes in Chloe's life during this period to see what they have in common. They all play a role of hinting or direct disclosure in advance. The theme of the first exhibition was children. After returning home, Chloe found Paul's passport and photos of his childhood. In the photos, we found traces of twins; the second theme was called "Flesh
