11.26 A feeling of watching the movie

The split story is still attractive, but if I didn't know the plot ahead of time, it might have been difficult for me to get into the movie at the beginning. The overall narrative of the story is still good, but the editing of the opening few clips is not so friendly to first-time viewers. And the memory fragment of the heroine interspersed in the film really felt inexplicable when it first appeared. Maybe the experience of the heroine when she was a child could be simplified.

On the whole, apart from the tense rhythm and the slightly suspenseful plot, the film's implied relationship between childhood experiences and adults is worth pondering. Psychology emphasizes that childhood experiences have an important impact on human growth and development. Although all people are influenced by childhood experiences, most childhood experiences are ordinary, while other children experience special events, and children's own different talents can cause them to respond differently to the same events. So somewhere in the world we can't see, there must be people who are struggling in the mud, and the reason for this may simply be the unjust, malicious or unintentional treatment they have been treated as children. And this situation will continue to cycle. To be honest, it's kind of irritating and sad, because I really don't know what to do to help a little bit, and we're just living ordinary people's lives after all.

In addition, during the watching process, I was always worried that Kevin would be caught, and I hoped that he would be caught, especially after the formation of the beast personality, but in the end, the police came and emphasized the three dead people, Then I took a photo of the escaped protagonist and it was over. I felt that the search for Kevin should be emphasized. Obviously he is now an extremely dangerous figure, and, what about respect for life? The father who called the police after the three girls were kidnapped at the beginning did not appear at all. His daughter was already dead. I feel that this part is still not full enough. It may be more exciting if the rescue search for the girls is added in the process.

Kevin has a total of 23+1 personalities. This is also a gimmick for the promotion of this film. I was attracted by this at first, but after watching it, thank God, not all of them were filmed. If the movie shoots out all the characters, then the movie is really too broken. A good movie should not be a hunter, but should tell a complete story. It has a sequel anyway. I don't know what the sequel will say though.

Several personalities with the highest appearance rate have been perfectly interpreted. Yimei's acting is really good, especially in the following scene where the characters are constantly switching, you can see obvious changes. But I don't think it's difficult to act like a split personality. I'm a complete layman when it comes to acting, so this is just a little bit of my opinion. The split personality in many films will continue to change clothes. This is really a major killer of the split state of the performance. As long as the actor is a little bit of a standard, he will not act like himself in everything, then he will act in a completely different state. The difficulty lies in how to reflect the real difference in each person. Dressing up, changing the tone, and making small movements are just skills. It is the ultimate goal to truly understand the heart of the characters and let the soul of "you" under the skin of "me". .

In the end, 4 stars were decided, and one star was deducted from the rhythm of the story.

    Claire Benoit: Jesus! We should fight him! We should drop a crazy-ass bomb on him!
