Can precision and self-hypnosis go beyond human limits?

I was attracted by the beauty of the female lead, and after watching it, I was attracted by the acting of the male lead.

The movie is a bit of a gimmick. It is said that there are 23 personalities. In fact, there are not many. The first one is the main body Kevin, who has been abused since childhood and has an honest personality. Because he has too many personalities, he has a big head, so he just ignores it and goes into deep sleep.

The second is the dominant personality Berry, the costume designer, who controls all personalities and chooses who should come out today.

The third is Haiwei, a 9-year-old child who has a special ability to occupy his body at any time without control.

The fourth is Dennis, the earliest split personality, the strongest of all personalities, rigorous and clean, and has a strong desire to protect Kevin.

The fifth Ms. Pietracy, evil and dignified, and very clever, I believe she was the one who planned everything to win Dennis and Hayway.

There is also a video, a character full of history and a person who needs insulin. .

There are so many in total, including monsters, not even 10. . . Of course, the protagonist's acting skills still impressed me. When the personality changed, I really felt like a different person.

When the monster personality appears, the movie has pushed the fine film to an extreme. You can say it is science fiction, but it is not completely. Human beings have a lot of things beyond their limits and incomprehensible.

I remember reading a medical report a long time ago that a couple in the United States gave birth to a baby girl with congenital heart disease and had to undergo a biopsy. However, the baby was too small and the operation risk was very high. The attending doctor said that even if the operation was successful, In the future, the child's heart will also be quite weak and unable to play sports like normal children. The operation was later successful. Years later, the girl participated in the local school marathon and won the first place. The doctor recognized her in the newspaper and felt incredible, so she approached the child's parents to ask about the situation. It turned out that the parents concealed the operation of the year from the child, always hinting to the child: "You have a strong heart" and encouraging her to exercise more.

Later, without telling the girl, the doctor examined her and was surprised to find that her heart muscle was repaired, just like a normal person. To know that the heart is a non-regenerating organ, this is a medical miracle, like a severed finger growing back. This is the power of mental cues.

The easter egg at the end of the movie made me so excited, I specially revisited the "Undead" of that year. If you like splits, you must not miss this movie. It is worth thinking about and pondering carefully.
