Split

First of all, a wave of beautiful acting skills! The split personality is so good! You Qi was surprised at the series of personality switches after Kevin was summoned back at the end! However, as a suspense movie, the storyline does have many problems. Set up suspense at the beginning, reverse, if you don't know in advance that the theme is split personality, the viewing effect must be excellent. The interlude of the heroine’s childhood experiences partially weakens the coherence of the story, and the rhythm of the main line is disrupted. It may be more interesting to focus on filming the meeting between the hero and the psychiatrist.

In addition, regarding the heroine's change of mind from the end of the film to the end of the film (I personally do not agree with the heroine's practice of escaping, suppressing herself, and blindly enduring), there seems to be some logical errors here. It is the character described above. Facing a perpetrator like the male protagonist, there may not be a strong desire to survive in the film and ask other characters to help him.

And the biggest problem is the beast personality, the reason for its formation is obscure, but this should be the most important part of the film. I can understand that the beast personality is the final state of "evolution", but the reason for protecting the master personality is very far-fetched. To protect Kevin needs to keep him enclosed in the body, completely deprive him of the right to use the body, and make a decision that is completely inconsistent with his personal opinion. Contrary to choice? (But I personally don't know much about DID, please correct me if I have any mistakes) The plot of the beast personality letting go of the heroine is also very contradictory. If you don't worry about others calling the police, why should you kill the psychiatrist?

On the whole, the story progresses too fast, and the characters of the beasts appear without detailing the plot of the twenty-three personalities, interspersed with the tragic encounters and transformations of the heroine. The core of the film is very scattered, and there are big problems with the plot arrangement.

Finally, from the perspective of DID theme, after watching the whole film, I am very confused about whether the medical results mentioned by the hero's psychiatrist are real or fabricated, which is not otherwise indicated in the film.

However, Yimei's performance is still very good, so on the basis of 6.5 points, +0.5 points.

    3.5 There are a lot of script problems, but the story’s idea and creativity are very good, and Shamaran’s directing is also very effective. In the second half, I was dumbfounded many times. The humorous and weird mix and match of "Visiting the Fright" has also been successfully continued. The performance of Meijiu's free transformation of personality is very exciting and catching people. The last scene is quite foul, but it is indeed impossible for anyone to guess.
