In addition to tenderness, the other side of Zhan Yimei

"Split" official poster

Watching "Split" and "The Glass" together, I have a strong sense of the psychopathic character of a beautiful character.

"Split" begins with three girls kidnapped in a basement by Dennis, a cool clean freak in a gray shirt. Then the plot revolves around two main lines and one auxiliary line: the escape of the three girls (main 1), the display of the male protagonist's multiple personalities (main 2), and the exploration of the zookeeper & daughter (auxiliary 1).

I went to Yimei, and the auxiliary lines were basically skipped, which did not affect the look and feel. It is difficult to completely separate the two main lines, because the multiple personalities of the male protagonist are only revealed in the interaction with girls and psychiatrists. They explore the boundaries of the male protagonist's personality at the physical and psychological levels respectively. This provides us with a possibility of interpretation: when the psychiatrist enters the male protagonist's house, she breaks into a physical space that she has never set foot in before; the female protagonist is rooted in the male protagonist's physical space and tries to understand his psychological space. For the male protagonist, this seems to be a kind of "double oppression", which led to the appearance of the beast personality.

However, when he also stepped into the taboo field of the male protagonist, the psychiatrist was killed immediately, but the female protagonist was spared by The Beast. Turning back to look at the portrayal of these two characters, they are all smart and calm, and I remember that the psychiatrist is a good person who really wants to help the male protagonist (her part may be wrong if she doesn't read carefully), but the female protagonist wants to follow the male protagonist. Run away with clichés on your body; from the point of view of "being good to the male lead", it seems that the former is more moral. Why did the psychiatrist die last? I think it may be because she is in a strong saving position, the heroine is in a weak and persecuted position, and the weak Kevin and the heroine have the same feeling of pity, which is in line with the concept of protecting Kevin's The beast personality "the broken are stronger".

Or maybe, who made the heroine a young beauty with big eyes, long straight, plump lips, and I feel pity for it? The close-up fills the fear and helplessness in the eyes, and the smart little lamb's appearance through the screen is enough to make people feel excited. If I were the beast, I would be reluctant to destroy flowers, hehe.

Back to my first beautiful Jen in heaven and earth!

I watched a lot of Yimei's movies one after another, these two are really drag me out of X-men. The little professor-style "honey sugar" in the X-Men series (honey sugar? It seems that Yimei was in an interview) I said that) the impression left is too deep, and I can't get rid of the shadow of the little professor when I see everything. The three characteristics of Professor X / Charles Xavier: gentle and gentle, sweet and moving, intelligent and calm, and appeared in many roles before Yimei, such as "Son of the Dune" (2003), "The Last Station" (2010), "Love Credits" (2006). After watching these movies, I almost screamed, one of the three major characteristics, with beautiful blue eyes, all kinds of small gestures of pouting, raising eyebrows and wrinkling the nose, and the eyebrows like light smoke, what! It is indeed the beauty of my heart.

But James's performances in "Split" and "Mr. Glass" don't show any of the above three attributes.

The most obvious is the change in body shape. James said in his ins that he has been in the gym for a long time to increase muscle and reduce fat. He specially emphasized that the diet requires protein + carbohydrates + fiber (refuting the misunderstanding of eating 6,000 calories a day, and emphasizing that this is Non-actors should not imitate professional behavior). When Dark Phoenix was released, the name "Zhan Yizhuang" appeared, and some voices shouted that they lost their fans. Maybe they didn't understand Zhan's overall appearance as an actor. "One-sided" made me disgusted. He devoted so much time and energy to exercise for the movie, trying to get rid of the above three attributes. As a fan, he should at least respect his choice.

It is easier to estrange 24 personalities from Mr. Zhan's previous roles under such body shape conditions. Of the two films directed by Shyamalan, Ajan actually showed only 6-8 in the end, and the most convincing is undoubtedly the beast - strong and wild. The calm and indifferent Dennis is also quite convincing, with a low and distant voice; Kevin is the body, and his voice is James's usual voice; the noble and indifferent priestess Patricia and the lively nine-year-old Hedwig are due to their body, age and gender. And, there is a stronger sense of spectacle; the rest of Barry, Norma, and Jade, they don't appear for long, but they can be distinguished.

The rhythm of the movie is actually a bit slow. If you don't watch it in the cinema, you can't get into the atmosphere, and it's easy to be boring. One reason may be that the "thickness" of the movie is not enough, and the characters are not infectious enough. For example, Ajan's character is presented more as a spectacle. As a thriller movie, the rendering of split personality and its consequences is also passable, but if it can be better It may be better to dig out its inner drama, or stage a rescue drama.

The last guide in "Mr. Glass" 01:49:00 The beautiful Ajan changed his vest online and performed his acting skills, and the camera's face and high-definition beauty did not lose at all. Lying on the edge of his arms seemed to flash back the memory of Cuban beaches, and once again sighed that this man is really soft-hearted regardless of age.

    When a person's consciousness is strong enough to a certain degree, can it control the form of matter? Various facial close-ups, Yimei's performance is creepy and very exciting.

    Is this Nima a sci-fi movie? ? ? And didn't that kick open the door with one kick? Why does the girl still take nails and open iron wires? And what the hell is that last paragraph? Does this director think everyone knows what he has done before?

Split quotes

  • Kevin Wendell: [speaking in video recording] The Horde keeps obsessing about the ones who haven't suffered. I don't know where they're going with this, but it scares me.

  • The Beast: The broken are more evolved.
