(Writing MVT for every movie has become a burden. Sometimes I can't really find any deep feelings after watching it, but can only find some general deep feelings. I'm afraid I will live up to the reputation of Most Valuable. So I had to write The most valuable feeling I can write. Hence, most valuable takeaway I can think of (MVTICTO))

There are reasons for many things, and for split personality, the reasons are often wonderful.
Come to think of it, Kevin (Kevin Wendell Crumb, his first name, let's call him by the name that refers to him in the news) can have so many personalities because of his mother's abuse of him before he was 3 years old. And who would have thought that this could lead to such wonderful results.
Perhaps the reason split personality is so wonderful is because split personality itself is magical.

    Claire Benoit: He's gonna come in here again any second now, and we're not gonna let him take one of us out again. We just screamed and didn't hurt him, because we were afraid he'd get upset. God, that's victim shit!

    [with her hands in her hair:]

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

    Casey Cooke: [quietly] I saw him carry one of you in here and lay you on the bed like you weighed nothing. One punch from him would knock one of us out.

    Claire Benoit: I took... I took six months of Kenpo karate class. And you distract the assailant with pain.

    Casey Cooke: Everything is so easy for you guys. You do one thing, you can predict the next thing.

    [shakes her head]

    Casey Cooke: It's not the way it's gonna be in this situation.
