Aliens type design

Rating: 8/10 (2 February 2017)

Watched Split in the Odeon, February 2nd, 2017. The movie is about a man with 23 personalities and which the 24th personality takes over all of the other personalities. This mental illness is called Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID). I liked the role of the psychiatrist. She was a caring and curious woman. I also liked how the lead character turned into an Alien life-form at the end of the movie. It reminded me of Aliens, the movie combined with V-for Vendetta, especially close to the end when the lead character was in the subway station and placed the flowers on the ground. In V-for Vendetta, the lead character also used flowers in a subway station to symbolize a violent ending. The story line between V-for Vendetta and Split are also similar in the way that both lead characters wanted to overcome societal challenges by using violence as the answer. Within the field of psychiatry it is the hope that patients can transform and in a sense that is what the lead character in Split does; like the movie Ex-Machina - the antagonist wins - which is an ending unlike Star Wars were good always overcomes evil.
