However, apart from Depp's perfect neurotic performance, there is basically nothing that attracts me in this film. In recent years, there have been more and more horror and suspense movies with split personality, but few of them really shine. What's more, Hitchcock's jewels are in front of him. He has set a milestone in psychoanalytic film, which is hard for future generations to look forward to.
But despite this, this film is still a few ranks higher than some suspenseful films with split personality in China. I still remember Xiao Song Jia’s new film "Save Me" that I watched some time ago. It is also a story of split personality. There are many murders and corpses in the middle, but the ending is happy and harmonious. All the dark plots are unoccurring illusions. Perhaps this is because there is a pair of scissors hanging on the head of the domestic film. A little carelessness, a knife and a hand, can let people end up with a lifelong crippling end; or, a long time ago, we were all caught The main theme is brainwashed, and I firmly believe that the world is always full of love and harmony.
However, is this possible! What justice ultimately defeats evil, what good people have good rewards, and evil people have evil rewards, these many beliefs are nothing more than castles in the air in the real world, mirrors and flowers, domestic movies do not have the courage to face the truth, or it is eternal reunion, or else Too much is too late, so what can I do to survive cruelly.
Mr. Lu Xun once said: Real warriors dare to face the bleak life and face the dripping blood.
Just because Depp didn't meander to kill his wife and his wife's man in this film, and because the film didn't drop a warrior riding a unicorn from the sky at a critical time to eliminate evil, I think I should applaud this film. Of course, this kind of bridge is not brilliant in foreign movies, but for us who are immersed in solidified thinking, it is worthy of applause.
A scene that has appeared many times in the film is the white misty water surface, the dark and fuzzy small bushes, and a thin boat docked lonely on the right side of the ferry, which is abnormally desolate. Is this image a true portrayal of the human heart? The human heart is so confused and lonely and extremely cold!
The plot of Depp's search for the master behind the scenes is a little bit like Xiao Feng's search for the enemy who killed his parents in Heroes Jin's "Dragon Ba Bu". Through a small detail, a suspect was locked. In "The Eight Parts of the Dragon", Xiao Feng accidentally heard the words of the four Yuqiao and Gengdu, and locked the suspect Duan Zhengchun; and DEPP was locked because of Ted, from Xue Tezhen. The suspect in his own imagination. After that, suspicion began, and this suspicion continued to expand because of many small details and coincidences.
I thought that when Depp killed the suspect, the real murderer would emerge, and I guessed that the real murderer was Depp's wife. Unexpectedly, the screenwriter gave us a schizophrenic story. In my opinion, this is really a bit weird, and many details cannot withstand careful scrutiny.
Of course, the horror atmosphere of the film is pretty good, at least it makes me, a person who watches thrillers alone late at night, nervous a few times. However, leaving Depp aside, there are too few remarkable things about this movie.
We all have an unknown window in our hearts, and opening the window is a garden where secrets are buried. Perhaps, a person you saw inadvertently turned around has a lush cornfield outside his window!
