      Interpretation of "The Enemy": The split, collision and integration of personalities

      The whole film is always in a gloomy, depressing atmosphere, and the plot is weird at first glance. A university professor saw from a movie that an actor who looked like a dragon was very similar to himself, so he tried every means to get in touch with the actor, and then left in panic. I have to spend a good night with the professor's lover. The professor went to the actor's house to live with the actor's wife, and then the actor's wife turned into a Godzilla-type spider...

      An eternal battle, an eternal dilemma



      The theme of the old enemy movie emphasizes the irrational cognition of desire instinct-the rational cognition of the id and self-restraint-the superego is a pair of eternal contradictions. They are a pair of rivals, they can never replace and annihilate each other, and they will always exist in opposition. This is reality.

      The whole film is about the protagonist's discovery and choice between the id (Anthony) and the superego (Adam), and the struggle in real life....

      After 2 weeks, I looked back at the comments, but no one understood the film.

      Many people have been confused about the difference between schizophrenia and multiple personalities. First of all, schizophrenia is a cognitive disorder. Auditory, touch and vision are both possible. It can be simply understood as fantasizing something, but you can't tell the truth from the false. People with schizophrenia rarely fantasize about themselves, because it makes I doubt the authenticity of the character.


      Multiple personalities are dissociative personality...

      "The Enemy"

      Denis Villeneuve Denis Villeneuve is really good, and he has not missed it. The key is that each film has its own different ideas.

      The plot, structure, and metaphors of the film have actually been filmed badly, but the director of this film has made everything truly concrete and even authentic, which is quite surprising, and there is a reaction and conflict effect.

      Although the quality is good, the suspense setting is good, and it is easy to accept for people who are used to...

      prey in cobweb

      Watching this movie is entirely out of love for "Prisoner", but after watching it, I realized that although it is the work of the same director, the difference between the two is indeed a bit big. This difference is not the difference between good and bad, but the difference in the director's style. For "Prisoner", it is the kind of mainstream thriller with a calm, sophisticated and neat narrative; while "Enemies" is completely a play of the director's personal style, full of symbolic imagery....

      The dim filter and bass soundtrack, the characters are invariably depressed, and even if there are emotional ups and downs, they are confused and restrained. Whether a metaphor for multiple personalities or an indictment of the power of interpersonal society, the spider on the haze is really an intuitive interpretation of this drive of desire. Seeing that some comments were written about the male protagonist's desire to steal, I felt that it was subconsciously trying to get rid of a life and...

      Although the front is relatively slow and hot, but the middle part starts to make people addicted to it. At this time, when I look back on the previous part, I will find that there are many foreshadowings. The director has undoubtedly buried a lot of metaphors in it, whether it is about politics or marriage, since the director refuses to interpret it, the audience can have their own understanding, which is good. Just after reading it and looking back, you will find that this is a very weak...

      Another masterpiece of countless split personalities. After reading it, I seriously feel the lack of IQ. I can't determine which is the main character now... The only thing that is certain is that the spider, which symbolizes the desire of the male protagonist, finally revived, and the scumbag shows no...

    Evaluation action

    The atmosphere of "Rivals" is unremarkable, and Jack Gyllenhaal cleverly interprets the character differences between the two characters. The film is not as crazy as "Tenant", nor is it full of vitality and nightmarish temptation like "Muholland Road", it is a male fable about derailment and desire. ("Chicago Tribune" review)
    "Rival" is like an extended version of "Twilight", this is an outstanding, bold film, fascinating. The film...

    Movie quotes

    • Anthony: Control, it's all about control. Every dictatorship has one obsession and that's it. In ancient Rome they gave the people bread and circuses. They kept population busy with entertainment but other dictatorships used other strategies to control ideas, the knowledge... how do they do that? Lower education, they limit culture, censor information, they censor any means of individual expression and is important to remember this, that this is a pattern, that repeats itself through out history.

    • Teacher at School: Where There's a Will There's a Way.

      Anthony: It's true.

      Teacher at School: No, it's a movie, I saw it a little while ago but um... I remember it was... I liked it.

      Anthony: Hmm. Where There's a Will There's a Way.

      Teacher at School: Yeah, that's it. Local film, if you...

      Anthony: I'll keep it in mind.
