Written on 2017-7-23 Intermittently, I was finally surrendered by force majeure today... After watching "Split", which exploded in North America a few months ago and starred in Yimei's love, I still had so little expectations. I hope After reading it, I can compare it with "24 Billy" and "Crowded Room" which I don't know when it will be released, but after watching it, in addition to reaffirming Yimei's acting skills, I am a little disappointed. 24 Billy's is too obsessive, and I still don't like the story of "Split". In short, this is an alternative "hero film" that is violent and anti-social. The director wants to say too much, but not a single one is clear. Except Zhan Yimei's acting skills and aura can support the whole film, I really can't find other bright spots. So why talk about this movie? I think I was still moved by Zhan Yimei's acting skills, and I couldn't help but worry about Xiao Li's 24-person personality. The most outstanding part of "Split" may be the last moment of "split chaos". In just a few minutes, a variety of personalities erupted in an instant, 8 fears of death, 2 triumphs, 1 pride, and no fear of conspiracy. It is not sloppy, and makes the viewers addicted to watching. As for how exciting it is, it's not too much spoiler, I hope you can experience it for yourself. Finally, let's talk about the biggest difference between "Split" and "24 Billys". "Split" is more like a conspiracy theorist. While focusing on multiple schizophrenia, it emphasizes the "evil" side of human nature, and The separatist is superior to the "split evolution"-like superiority of everyone in the world; "24 Billy" emphasizes the human nature of the "split" victims and the indifference of that era, in contrast and awakening, relatives, Others, society, self, Billy's split from split to fusion, to disbelief split to final fusion, are all completing the redemption of self and the completion of human nature. The description in the book reflects society and reflects human nature. Calling attention to the "split" victims. When it came to the movie "Split", it took this reflection of human nature as a joke, satire, or even a slot. So this also determines the final positioning of "Split": it can only be appreciated, not remembered. I still hope that Xiao Li's "Crowded Room" can bring a different kind of splendor~ Finally, let's make a comment: The movie that I was looking forward to this summer has been scheduled for the end of the holiday...

    I am completely speechless and obsessed with reversal and guest appearances. I don’t care about the rationality of the plot. The degree of narcissism is increasing. Is the last easter egg trying to build a "Shamalan universe"... The two supporting actresses are basically not acting.

    The creativity of the script is very good. It slowly becomes supernatural and pseudo-science. I really like this kind of magical movie. Waiting for Shamaran’s signature reversal. In the end, the script is still a bit thin. The reversal did not wait for anything. The last egg is very interesting. Shamaran has repeatedly failed before, but he still has the ability to be a director. He will still shine when he encounters good things. After waiting, he will build the same immortal personality and split the universe.

  • The Beast: The broken are more evolved.
