Like Greernon, after watching the premiere, countless audiences chose to go to the cinema for the second time, or even the third time. In order to understand the details of the movie, and to truly understand the movie, it is even more exciting to taste the movie. At the same time, various film reviews can't wait to spread on the Internet.
"If you think that this is just an ordinary suspense film, you have been waiting for a reasonable explanation to give the story a perfect ending. The murderer will eventually come to light. Then, you are wrong. Most suspense films like to be tricky, process At the end of the twists and turns, there is another reversal that set off a **, but when I look back, I can find countless loopholes. 'Deadly identity, but not so.
This movie is one of the few movies that can fool the audience four times. The first time everyone thought that the murderer was a criminal; the second time the murderer became the boss again; the third time was the reveal of the personality, which made everyone realize that the murderer was a child. Even more ingeniously - its third reversal is actually a pretense to set the stage and smoke for the fourth reversal.
There are many reasoning enthusiasts among the audience, who may initially think that the child is a murderer. But when the plot developed to the child's fraudulent death, the ten-fold personality was revealed - the doctor missed the most important eleventh personality in the movie, and at the moment of sensational farewell, most people have already sent the suspicion of the child. However, the end of the film brought a major reversal.
Even the famous 'Sixth Sense', 'Fight Club,' and 'Master Key' are just a reversal at the end of the film. But 'Deadly Identity, has used four reversals to bring us a wonderful film with a new interpretation of split personality, which is perfect.
There are no useless scenes, all plots have foreshadowings, all foreshadowings have deep meanings, the overall logic is smooth, and the suspense is exciting and believable. This film is definitely a classic among suspense thriller movies! "
William Wood has no doubts, expressing his fondness for "Deadly Identity" on "Entertainment Weekly". In addition to the film itself, William Wood also talked about his own views on the work of Evan Bell's first-time producer.
"Evan stood on the producer's stand, and still continued his critical and prudent vision as an actor. He chose such a well-crafted script that can be seen everywhere, bringing a thrilling thrill to everyone. The visual tour, and then clapped at the end. Evan's producer debut is convincing!"
Those who are willing to read the comments of Evan Bell supporters, "Entertainment Weekly" will be the first choice, even if it is not a professional film and music magazine; on the contrary, I hope to see the comments on Evan Bell's accusation, everyone knows that it should be opened" Premiere".
"It's a madman's world." That's how Elliott Carter begins his review of the "Deadly Identities" film.
"This is simply a boring script. When the screenwriter can't find anything new in his mind, he chose such a stupid way to deceive the audience.
In suspense movies, the most important thing is logic. When we tried our best to find the logic of this film, the sentence 'split personality solved all our thinking and all our doubts? impossible! This is a morbid script. At the beginning, the structure is clever and interlocking, but in the later stage, when the logic cannot be explained clearly, it is far-fetched to use split personality to take everything in one stroke. This is simply reasoning for suspense's sake and suspense's sake.
Some people may say that you don't understand the movie so you will complain. Only those who understand it can understand the charm of this movie. But in fact, this is a script with no logic, no structure, and no central idea to speak of. Suspense and suspense, doubts and doubts, turned out to be a big bad movie. "
Elliott-Carter articulates his position that "deadly identity" simply cannot be justified by making up the term split personality to cover it up. This time, like "Death Illusion" and "Adaptation," the comments in favor of Elliott-Carter were not many but not many, which made "Premier" magazine suddenly refreshed.
As for Evan Bell Elliott Carter only summed it up in one sentence, "I couldn't find where he was at all, and he was overwhelmed by the heavy rain", which was used to describe Evan Bell's performance without any highlights. It just disappeared from the movie.
The debate between William Wood and Elliott Carter actually represents two professional views on "deadly identity". Some professionals believe that this is a classic and good film, which boldly materializes the split personality in this form to challenge the new bottom line of legal ethics; some professionals believe that it is a fictitious personality that can't explain it clearly. Splitting up the explanation instead makes the movie look like the product of a bunch of lunatics.
"Deadly Identity" is a movie in which the script is higher than the actor. In it, the actor's performance space is very limited, and more is shaped by the actor's role to connect the story, and the story is the most important. Therefore, some critics believe that the super strong lineup makes the progress of the movie look smooth and comfortable, and it is convincing; there are also comments that the producer Evan Bell has completely ruined such a strong lineup and drowned all the actors in the story. , 簩绡 way to bloom their own light.
In this regard, Evan Bell said in an interview that the actor's reappearance is also for the sake of the story, because the role is based on the story and exists, except for autobiographical films. If you ignore the importance of the story in order to highlight the performance of the actors, it will make the movie look like a garbage.
Above the media, the commentary on "Deadly Identity" was buzzing, with supporters and opponents alike going to great lengths to express their views. Controversy can be annoying in many cases, but if you think about it in reverse, disputes mean hot spots. "Deadly Identities" is just an independent film with an investment of seven million, and is the first film produced by Eleven Studios. Columbia Pictures doesn't spend much on publicity for its films, either. But now, because of Evan Bell, because of the strong lineup, the media is paying huge attention to the movie itself.
If the attention brought by a round of praise, it would be good, but the audience would inevitably think that Evan Bell was in full swing, everyone sang praises, and the effect was not as dramatic as imagined. But as it is now, the media frequently comment on "deadly identity" on the Internet, newspapers and magazines, with different opinions. Instead, the audience has the idea of entering the movie theater to watch the movie in person and then making a judgment. Controversy, brought about by the film, is a hot spot; what Evan Bell and a group of actors have brought to the film is the drive to call on the audience to enter the cinema.
In order to write a film review of "Deadly Identity", Chris Fairbank has entered the cinema three times, not only to understand the film, but also to analyze the connotation represented in the depth of the film. This is his job.
"This is a wonderful movie, the wonderful thing is not only the process of personality destruction that takes place in the world of personality, but also the deep meaning contained in these personalities, as well as the meaning represented by the order of personality death.
The first to die was the out-of-date actress Caroline. She was an elite figure in the upper-class society who alluded to McCann's impression of being snobbish and self-conscious. Her declining image reflected that McCann was persecuted by such people in the process of growing up. Therefore, in the motel, McCann was the first to attack Caroline, who believed that money was everything. Caroline represents low self-esteem. After the once proud capital disappeared, only a self-deprecating heart remained. After extreme psychological imbalance, she showed a lack of arrogance and domineering. After McCann eliminated inferiority complex, there would be no shame, moral bottom line, and all obstacles.
The second person who died was the young husband Louis, who was McCann's ideal biological father, and then he did not leave much influence in his real life, just a very vague image. Lewis represents self-sī. McKenna's father, who ran away because of his self-love, even though the marriage of his parents was because of love, but in the end it was reduced to constant crying and screaming, so Louis disappeared early.
The third is prisoner Robert. When McCann was a child, he saw a perverted murderer being stabbed and his mind was twisted, so Robert, who represented the crime, became the third target.
Stepfather George represents cowardice. McCann's real life lacks father's love, and his mother is a prostitute, so he fabricated the image of such a stepfather, cowardly, but eventually died to save the child. He was unable to give McCann the support and help he needed, and his cowardice was the beginning of the family's misfortune. His fourth death.
Mother Alice is the ideal mother in McCann's heart. She is a bit strong and clearly loves him, but because she had a car accident early, she became a representative of numbness. No panic, no comfort, no self-help, Alice is like a cold world, refusing McCann to join. So McCann cut off Alice's breath with both hands.
The young wife Ginny is also an ideal mother image She is more like a perfect mother, different from Alice's strong but cold, Ginny is vulnerable and sad, willing to do anything for the child, she even pretends to be pregnant just for the sake of Leaving her husband behind, she also chose to take care of her child Timsy first in the face of difficulties. But no matter how perfect it is, it can never give more. McCann's hatred for the real prostitute's mother made Ginny the victim of a car bombing.
Screenwriter Michael - Coney has carefully set up each personality, they reflect the different emotions of McCann Reeve's heart, as well as different sins. The eradication of these personalities followed a certain rule: the imprints left by living in McCann-Rive’s heart, the less influential the corners were, the sooner they were sacrificed, and on the contrary, they were left to the end, so only the motel manager remained. Larry, fake cop Rhodes, ex-cop Ed, prostitute Paris, and neglected personality kid Timsy.
'The appearance of the fatal identity is not in the setting of the movie itself, but in the careful sculpting of the eleven personalities and the sequence of destruction, which proves the impact of life on the split personality. We should not simply regard this film as a thriller and suspense film, but also affirm the screenwriter's study of logic, suspense, and connotation. "
After watching the movie three times, Chris Fairbank's review on "Film Review", although spoilers, is a must-have manual for watching the movie. ! .
