Come out Come out Wherever You Are.

I'm going to start at the end, the music box throughout the whole film, the music box Katherine gave to Emily before leaving New York, the familiar nursery rhyme "Hush little baby", David standing in front of Katherine in the wet dark cave, in the background The spinning music box was still playing the cool melody at the moment. David's voice was soft but low. He said that Katherine was right:
"Trauma causes pain" The trauma brought pain
and finally understood who Charlie was David, He has broken the jar and let his second personality merge into the original thought of conscience and love. He still holds the murder weapon. He knows that there are still daughters and Katherine in the knee-deep cave. He knows that first The only way to get a chance to distract Katherine, who was holding a gun, was to admit his mistake. He knew he had gone mad.
At this moment he admitted what Katherine had said, and he was implicitly putting the blame for everything that happened on the trauma, a trauma of his own making—the death of his wife.
The fragments of the broken dream were spliced together when he opened the dusty cardboard box. David saw the truth of what happened deep in his memory. He just opened his mouth and took a few breaths in panic. When he turned around, he told the frightened Emily not to be afraid, Dad was gone.
Don't be afraid, Dad is gone.
Dad is gone, Charlie is here.
In fact, from the beginning of the film, it is very good to guess the character setting. After moving to Woodland Town, the sheriff with a wretched face, the sneaky neighbor couple who lost their daughter soon, came to return the house in the middle of the night that they forgot to deliver the key. The intermediary, in fact, it is very easy to tell that they are all good people who say nothing. Maybe everyone has their own private and dark side, but in this messy incident, they are not the ones who will hurt Emily.
The film has several different endings, but I like the one where the story ends with the two-headed Emily drawing.

David: [possessed as Charlie] I can't help but sense a certain tension between us.
Emily: [too scared to answer]
David: What's the matter? Don't you want to play anymore? Don't you want to have fun?
Emily: [sniffles sadly and scaredly]
David: Hmm? You want your daddy back? Is that it? You like him more than me, don't you?
Emily: [quietly] No.
David: Oh. Liar.
Emily: [quietly] No. I'm not.
David: Yes you are. Liar, liar. You big fat liar.
Emily: [quietly] You killed mommy.
