I'm curious, did you not see any of the trailers for Split? The beast transformation aspect is heavily hinted at in the trailers. You expected a more realitic take on DID but that was never what Split was meant to be. Split is a fantasy about the monster inside that is born out of suffering. I watched a tv spot or clip on YouTube before a video i wanted to see which presented just the kidnaping part and him having many personalities but didn't see the beast hint. I probably wouldn't have had the same interest in watching the film if i knew it was an origins story of a super villain. I expected something more in the lines of sixth sense which might have a few supernatural elements but having more depth or something like silence of the lambs. i expected a more serious thriller hehe maybe if i watch it the second time for what it is, im gonna like it more. The same happened to me with gone girl but in a different way. witn Gone girl I didn't watch any trailers beforehand but anyway the first half seemed like it was gonna be a sort of sleeing with the Enemy but with a more A list cast and director and found it much more intriguing before the twist. I was like nooooooo, i wanted an unofficial Sleeping with Enemy remake and i got so disappointed by the second half then re watched the film and liked more for what it really was. It was a great twist its just i was mad that it took a whole different direction than the one i wanted the film to take. You will be surprised to know that the film effected me quite deeply in that it is about people who have suffered emotionally and how people who have been abused sometimes become monsters themselves. I actually think the film is quite powerful. I expected some supernatural elements but I had no idea it was a supervillain origin story. That was kept a secret from everyone. |

Its great to know im not the only one who didn't know this was a super villain origin story and the beginning it was pretty touching and you feel a little bad for Kevin and want him to get better because he goes to his therapy for it or wanted to be understood. But sadly he did became a monster and the beast came up. when i was at half of the film I thought this would be solved like in Sixth Sense when the kid stops being seen as weird after Bruce Willis character helped the kid with his fear ofcseeing death people snd told him maybe they just want your help they talk to you because they need you. I was expecting that with his psychiatrist help he might release the girls. |
