after watching this topic, you feel very depressed, not because of the horror and horror of the movie... but because of the abuse of children that do exist in society. The grief of psychological distortion and unsound mental formation.
If you have read the book "24 Billy", you can indeed find a lot of Billy's personalities in the movie, but the characters in the movie and the book are very different. I think the director did not use the documentary format of "24 Billy" to shoot this film, but created the personality of the beast. In the book, the 24th personality is a teacher, a complete combination of 23 personalities. The teacher understands what each personality does in the time controlled by it, and the 24th personality in the movie, the beast, is a "self" that some personalities want to shape, to make the society believe in the existence of DID, And their power.
The movie is very exciting and ingenious is that the arrangement of the role of the heroine, a character who was also abused in childhood, but the heroine does not suffer from DID, but is very resistant to communicating and interacting with social people, every time the heroine is quiet. When he spoke, he saw in his eyes the loss of hope for life and the repression of the past.
The acting skills of James and Joy in this play are very exciting, there are not many movie roles, and the acting skills of James and Joy are contracted for the entire play.
When playing the roles of Hedwig, a 9-year-old boy, Patricia in female form, Dennis, who likes to watch naked girls dancing, Kevin the kind, and the beast with the physique and strength of a beast...the male protagonist has captured every personality. The characteristics of his personality and behavior, and the seamless switching of each personality at the end, he simply bowed to James' wonderful acting skills.
Looking forward to the second installment in 2019.
