Multiple Personality Analysis

On the whole, it feels average, and many meaningful plots have been interpreted as convoluted bridges. The main line is to describe the psychological distortion of a child who was abused by a prostitute mother when he was a child, and the use of split personality is even more novel and attractive. Multiple expressions of multiple personalities make the plot fuller and give the audience more information. However, in terms of the quality of the whole film, it is not enough to have only one bright spot. Many details are not handled well, which leads to the feeling of "four dissimilarities" in the whole film: the killing scenes are not exciting enough, the suspense points are not connected smoothly and naturally, the characters The relationship and emotionality between the two are unclear (such as how some of the hotel 10 people's origins have an internal relationship with McCann), and if those details could be better done, this would definitely be a pretty good movie.
Of course, the flaws do not hide the flaws, the highlights of this movie are still quite dazzling, and it is worth mentioning.
As said at the beginning of the film: Split personalities are the source of evil. The multiple personalities that appear in the film are not random fictions, but contain various emotions contained in his encounters. In the motel's killing experience that occupies most of the space, all characters are imagined by another personality of McCann, Ed (hereinafter collectively referred to as Ed), so the different characters of 10 people are Ed It is subjectively constructed from the unbearable memories of the past, and of course mixed with his inner hope and other complex emotions. A few of them stand out, and there are three versions of the mother's imagination alone. The selfish, vain star Arizona is perhaps the most real mother, while Paris is Ed's imaginary mother, a transitional figure with a sinful past but redemption at heart. And Alice, who plays the role of a good wife and a good mother, is Ed's most ideal imagination for her mother. Other characters such as the gambler Larry's hatred of prostitutes, the tyranny of the two fugitives, including Ed's own yearning for a better life, are all expressions of Ed's innermost being.
Later, these 10 people died one after another. At first, I was puzzled. Why would there be such a terrifying imagination? In fact, everyone's death represents the disappearance of this part of Eddie's personality. Alice's death represents the loss of his inner desire for maternal love that has been shattered. Eddie's suicidal thief is also a surrender to real life, including the last The death of paris, when it was said that "whores don't have a second chance, Ed is no more. McCann's negative personality completely overwhelms the positive imagination that Ed had done before. It can be seen that childhood caused Scars will never heal.
