I'm not very good at writing comments, so please forgive me if there is anything wrong. ------- I said earlier


that this kind of film appeared in 2004, and I can already comment on this film with great praise. There have been many films similar to split personality before. Fight club is very classic and the most well-known. one. The beginning of this film is pretty good, it really made me break a cold sweat, the gloomy European weather style, Bell's skeleton acting and skinny, and the weird production workshop really caught the audience's attention, so much so that the beginning At that time, the director was also deceived by the director, making it cloudy and foggy. For the atmosphere and the dedicated actor Bell, I give it 3.5 stars.


Next, let me talk about the part of the film that I don’t think is very good. This film is about split personality, but I have to say that although it is based on the works of the predecessors, the split personality played in this film is too obvious. From that license plate number, there is almost nothing that attracts me. I saw the end just to see an ending, because generally even the worst movie ending is brilliant. The photos that followed and the situation at the airport were all very contrived, without the slightest suspense, and did not give the audience the thrill of turning around and suddenly realizing it. This is what I said was not as successful as the predecessors such as Fight Club. Fight Club is almost as successful. Most of the time, no obvious hints about split personality were revealed at all. In the second half, even the only hint was that the three people never appeared at the same time. On the contrary, the mechanic did a normal job.


Of course, this film can still be watched. The whole film has a dark and low tone. There are not too many horrible gimmicks, but it makes people breathless. From the beginning, the audience knows that the male protagonist is just an ordinary person, but it is this ordinary person. The human form really made people sweat, and even after watching it for a few minutes, I began to wonder if this person was Bell. With skinny eyes and black eyes, and walking with a slight lameness, I have to say that even if this image is a normal person, it will scare young female audiences away from watching.


I have never thought that Bell is an acting school, but the acting in this film is very good. In fact, everyone knows the reason. It is this image that adds a lot to Bell's acting skills. It is estimated that such a big sacrifice for such a thriller is estimated to be The director was moved to tears.


Let's talk about the climax again. It is estimated that the climax is not so eye-catching in the production of a small film. I was expecting the protagonist to be a murderer or something, but it turned out that he couldn't sleep for a year because of the hit and run, which is a bit exaggerated. Here is a brief explanation, the movie is nothing more than two kinds of good-looking, one kind is unpredictable, which makes the audience completely unexpected, and the other is extremely close to reality, which resonates with people. The mechanic is exactly in between the two. The split personality was guessed by the audience early, but the end was just a driver who escaped. One can't help but think, is this the end? ? ?


The style of this film is good, the feeling of European depression and gloom is very good, but I have to say that the image of myself as the main man is enough to make people feel a little nauseated. The changed fingers make people feel that the director is going too far in expressing some kind of dark side, the dark and low style, and the blood in the middle, can't help but make this film suddenly become a very ordinary horror film.

I've written so much first, and then I'll add and revise it when I think of it.
