In "Split", the role of Kevin played by James McEvoy is actually Ah Q in Western film and television works.
Kevin suffered from domestic violence by his mother when he was a child, suffered psychological trauma and suffered from schizophrenia, which is the process and result of Ah Q's self-comfort. The process of consolation and the result of being sick are not perfect, but Ah Q's result is that he is prevented from committing suicide, at least temporarily.
When Kevin felt very painful, he comforted himself like a Q: This pain is not mine, but someone else's. Slowly, Kevin's own way of comforting Kevin no longer works, so the subject of comfort becomes Kevin's other personality, splitting from Kevin, leaving Kevin in place and accepting comfort. As a result, Kevin's other personalities can see Kevin from the perspective of a bystander, so Kevin's pain is not their pain. Wen is imprisoned and further freed of Kevin's association with them, and finally is able to escape the torture of psychological trauma. This is the logical self-consistency of schizophrenia.
Schizophrenia is the ultimate Ah Q, they not only comfort themselves, but also get rid of themselves, cut off the connection with the painful self, and cut off the source of the pain. The most powerful thing is that as long as the pain is deep enough and the desire to get rid of himself is strong enough, he can become whoever he wants to be, so he becomes a fashion designer, a historian, and even breaks through the limits of his body and becomes "he". The "monster" that Dennis yearns for.
So although James McEvoy is foreign, he is just a foreign version of Ah Q, and while we despise Ah Q, we often quote the phrase "If you don't forget, there will be an echo", which is very contradictory.
In addition, we unanimously believe that the difference between people lies in the mind rather than the body, so we do not hesitate to think that two people who look exactly the same are two people, and the one in the body has a different mind and does not know The two personalities of what the other party thinks, are they two people? If one personality kills a person, can it be sentenced to death, or even sentenced, because if sentenced, the other personality can only serve the sentence together, or serve the sentence at random, and it is wrong for innocent people to serve the sentence. Therefore, the criminal law will face a dilemma at this time. Therefore, the identification and protection of patients with schizophrenia still faces legal resistance.
The following are Chinese and Western Ah Q.
