Zhan Yimei's "Split" is a visual feast for acting fans, and this is the only reason for me to watch this film if I don't watch horror and horror films. After watching "Split", it is completely understandable why so many industry and peers call Yimei a "genius" and "legendary" actor. His performance in this film is truly wonderful and intriguing. There has never been a role tailored for an actor, but Yimei can irreplaceably perform roles that can be said to be contrary to his image. After watching "Split", I can't think of anyone who can better interpret this group of characters with different characteristics than Yimei. Among the 8 personalities that appeared on the camera, Dennis and Patricia should be firmly in the coffee position, and the scenes of taking turns in the village are really exciting! The two of them plus Heidweather are the real home ground. Compared with the unfortunate childhood of the protagonist Ge Kevin, this is more like the combination mode of a normal family of three, isn't it very interesting? The most powerful thing is that Yimei can not only create different personalities in terms of personality, but even allow you to distinguish which personality is currently displayed from the perspective of gender. The Patricia created by Yimei has a calm and indifferent impression at the beginning, and at the end you can feel her beauty, which is different from Dennis and belongs to women, through the tiniest expressions. Yes, Yimei gives Patricia every expression with grace, and as a viewer, I can definitely use "beautiful" to describe this female personality. And such Patricia is a perfect match with the strong and executive Dennis, plus the 9-year-old bear... It's a combination that is scary enough and a little romantic. Dennis and Patricia can be said to have achieved what Dr. Fletcher called symbiosis, ruling the body almost at the same time. Patricia first appeared in front of the audience when the girls saw her and Dennis having a "conversation" through the crack of the door; when taking the girls for dinner, Patricia cut a sandwich crookedly and suddenly compulsively slapped the knife The scene on the cooking table is also classic; and on the night of the birth of the climactic "Beast", Dennis directly gave up his body to Patricia after buying the representative bouquet, and did not wait until he arrived at the train station. Back to Dennis. A series of fascinating and mysterious transformations in the middle are really stunned. This is the calm shock that Yimei brings to the audience. Dennis is arguably the longest-running personality in the film. Obsessive-compulsive disorder is the only uncontrollable way he can reveal his identity, and he replaces Barry, the once dominant personality, and even deceives people other than doctors by imitating Barry. Here are some absolutely wonderful scenes in "Split". In the three meetings with the doctor's grandma, Yimei's interpretation is amazing. Thought it was Barry, but it was actually Dennis. However, compared Barry's extroverted personality, Dennis is a typical obsessive-compulsive disorder, Yimei presents a Dennis or Patricia with the identity of "Barry" through extremely subtle details, when the doctor mentioned "Protecting Kevin" "In the original intention, the expression of that he or she performed by Yimei can even be called gentle and beautiful, but after being identified by the doctor as Dennis, she calmly changed to Yimei's self-disciplined expression, her eyes and expressions. The acting is terrifyingly terrifying. It's no wonder that the public is amazed and praised for this, Yimei's certain talent in acting is absolutely wonderful. Here he doesn't see anything sweet and sweet like Charles ("X-Men") or Robbie ("Atonement") or schoolgirl ("Love Credit"), nor is it Bruce ("The Dirt") or Simon ("Psychedelic") as wicked or brutally dark and gloomy. The beauty in "Split" is very mysterious, and there is a sense of oppression invisibly. It is a breathless and breathtaking feeling that is partially revealed through Dennis, Patricia, and Hedweather. And this is definitely not the "excessive force" that some people who fall into the so-called deep acting misunderstanding say, because the transformation of these three interdependent personalities is extremely smooth and free, and the "beast" that comes from them , and it seems natural, that is the power they expect. Compared with other relatively fragile and undemanding personalities, this dramatic difference is extremely stark, and it is equally unsatisfactory. They are free, and the "beast" that came because of them also seems to be a matter of course, that is the power they expect.
