This "ghost" is not afraid of crosses, garlic, fire or spells

In "Eyes-Opening", there are mysterious parties attended by men and women wearing masks, but the reality is just a large mysterious party where humans wear various masks derived from themselves.

Therefore, the number of films that show split personality is endless.

However, a person dragging seven personalities like a balloon is also a great creation of HK movies, which is a bit humorous.

Just for this good idea, JOJO bought a piece of "The Detective" (the English and the plot should be "The Detective") and came back for dinner.

The story is not bad. At the end, due to weakness and fear, the young police officer He Jiaan shot and killed Chen Guibin in order to protect himself (and the lost police gun). He finally had a new personality and taught him to calmly fake the scene. And Chen Guibin, who can see the "ghost" in people's hearts, had a dialogue between two personalities at the moment of shooting Gao Zhiwei - "If you do this, what's the difference between you and them!" "What's the difference, I'm human too! "

He finally killed Gao Zhiwei, because others thought he was a lunatic, because apart from his own talent, there was no evidence to prove that Gao was the real murderer, because he was also human, and everyone has "ghosts" in their hearts and desires. I have an impulse, I know I shouldn't do it or I will do it, I know it's evil but I can't control it. His wife sarcastically said, "Everyone has it, but you don't have it!" No, he has it too, everyone has it.

This kind of "ghost" is actually more similar to the "innate evil and weakness of human beings", rather than the "personality" in the category of Western psychology.

Our regret is that these seven personalities have not been brought into full play, and only Lin Xue, violent men and women have appeared more often. And the gun case is too confusing.

The story could be cleaner, without the need to bring South Asians in to interfere with the view. It is probably more interesting to have more dialogues, let the seven personalities cover each other through dialogue, and expose their own weaknesses. Of course, the screenwriter may have to vomit blood.

In addition, different personalities can be expressed through the use of shooting light angles, such as Chen Guibin's final split.

On a winter night with drizzle, eating hot pot, watching this gloomy film, even if there is a ghost in my heart, I feel that it is good to be a human being.
