The deepest fear

I personally like it very much. Because this film profoundly portrays the deepest fear of people-the fear of those closest to oneself. The early plot of the film is particularly well laid out, but the plot in the middle and late stages is somewhat weak. The ending also made me a little confused (I don't know if it's because of my lack of understanding or the screenwriter). Let's listen to me (pick the characteristic places) elaborate (spoiler):

1. After Claire went out to film, Beverly called his hotel and it was her male secretary who answered the phone, so Beverly told him a lot of Claire's old stories. This process is great. But since then, Beverly has always thought that he was green, and has always regarded the misunderstanding as true and as the main contradiction (one of) of the plot is too bloody.

2. There are too many useless and repetitive scenes in the middle and late stages. It is simply to cut the length of the film and should be deleted. For example: I remember a scene where Beverly (or Riot came) was shaving in the bathroom. I don’t know what you can do about shaving-useless; in one scene, Beverly asked his brother why he wanted to take care of it. He, he gave the example of Siamese conjoined people to explain their relationship. And then in another scene, Riot's lover asked him why he should care about his brother, and he once again expressed their relationship-the two scenes repeated the plot.

3. Later, Beverly ordered a surgical tool. At first it was said to be used by women with different body structures (he was also preparing to use these tools for an operation), and he later said at Claire’s house that it was to split the company. Somatic. Very contradictory (maybe because he is already crazy).

4. It makes no sense for Claire to go home from a business trip and meet Beverly again! Just bluntly wanted to echo Claire's business trip.

5. (I don’t know if it’s a problem with my understanding) The ending, I don’t understand what happened to brother and so on? Why do elder brothers and younger brothers need "separation surgery"? Why separate? Don't they want to be together? Why didn't the younger brother ask his brother to quit the drug addiction?

6. Don't look at the shortcomings I cited, the film is still quite good, quite thoughtful, and quite terrifying.

    One Uncle Tie is sexy enough, and two Uncle Tie are invincible. Although the story is boring, sexy iron uncle and comfortable photography let me watch it honestly. The home and clinic of the two brothers are my favorite scenes. The decoration has a sci-fi style like "2001: A Space Odyssey", neat and cold, many Blue, gray and beige, as if Uncle Tie was not a doctor but a captain, drifting in space on the Twin. Many directors are keen to discover the implied erotic meaning of twins, such as Greenaway's "One Z and Two Zeros" and Bertolucci's "Dream of Paris". They also completed the twins through the physical intervention of a third person. ’S bonding ceremony. "Dead Ringers" is translated into "Nie Kou" in China, and the Japanese version is called "戦栗の風". Compared with the three editions, the name of "Dead Ringers" has won too much.
