On the surface, the story goes like this: the mother died suddenly, and in a quarrel with her stepfather, the woman who killed her biological sister (doll) by mistake was forcibly sent to a mental hospital. Stepfather bribed the captain of the guard, stole the name of the attending doctor and signed to remove the frontal lobe. Five days later, the surgeon performed an operation and the doll became a vegetable. During five days in a mental hospital, the doll tried to escape from here, and its first dreamland appeared, a prostitution club similar to an orphanage, where besides selling herself, she also performed art, that is, lap dancing. Waiting for the doll is the cuteness of a rich man five days later. When dancing for the first time, the doll entered the second dreamland. In her dream, she met an old guy, whom we call "sage" for the time being. He told the doll that to escape from the mental hospital, she needed to find five things, a map, a fire, a fruit knife, a key and an unknown and mysterious thing. According to the guidelines, the doll and four other companions (Sweet Doby, Rocket, Blonde, Amber) who met in the orphanage prostitution club started their escape plan. Every time the dolls dance, they enter the second dreamland and fight like a game. (The main scene of the game appears four times: the first time is a ghostly confrontation with Japanese samurai, the second time is to eliminate zombies, the Germans get maps, the third time is to fight against magic dragon to get fire, the fourth time is to defeat mechanized troops to stop bombs in a speeding train, and the last task is actually a failure. Of course, due to the failure of the mission, all the other three girls were killed except Sweet Doudou and Doll. The rocket was accidentally stabbed to death by the chef, and the blonde and Amber were shot by the club owner. Finally, the doll stabbed the security guard, got the key and ran away with sweet peas. Finally, she sacrificed herself, let Sweet Doudou escape, and left her to attract attention. Finally, she was sent to have an operation. After Doudou escaped, he met the sage who drove the car. In addition, the security captain was arrested by the police for impersonating the signature of the attending doctor. End of story.
In addition, everyone in the first fantasy has a real position in reality. The owner of the club is the real security captain; The procuress is also a dance teacher, and in reality she is an attending doctor; The mayor is the gatekeeper in reality; Chef is also a real chef; Big money is a doctor who comes to do surgery in reality.
What seems to be such a story is actually just the surface. There are many loopholes in this story. We found the ending very vague. Whether the protagonist is sweet bean or doll has been debated. Besides, is the doll really crazy? Why was he sent to a mental hospital? Why was the security captain arrested by the police? Is it as simple as copying the signature of the attending doctor? Why does the surgeon feel that the doll's eyes are dying?
In fact, the director didn't directly tell you the really cruel and disgusting truth, but used some very obscure fragments to hint at everyone.
In fact, the deep story goes like this:
The heroine doll has a large fortune at home. My mother died suddenly, and my stepfather thought the inheritance belonged to him, but it was written in my will that the inheritance belonged to my two daughters, that is, the doll and my sister. The stepfather was so angry that he broke into the doll's room on a stormy night and raped her (the director was afraid that it would be defined as a restricted level here, and the handling here was quite obscure). The raped doll was not enough to feel avenged, so she reached out to her little sister. In order to save her sister, the doll shot at her stepfather, but missed one shot and killed her sister by mistake. Instantly collapsed.
When the police arrived, they defined the incident as that the doll was mentally ill, and this result was also needed by the stepfather. So the stepfather can get the inheritance. So the injured stepfather was forced to send the doll to a mental hospital (interestingly, in the first fantasy, did the stepfather appear as a priest, or was the director mocking the clergy for molesting children? Ha ha ha). But the stepfather didn't want the baby's mental illness to be cured (Polish therapy), so he bribed the captain of the guard, forged the doctor's signature, and became a vegetable five days after the operation. So the stepfather can sit back and relax.
The doll is indeed schizophrenic, and everything behind it is her fantasy, but it is connected with reality. Her personality split into five people. Yes, besides herself, there are sweet beans, rockets, blond hair and amber. Think about it. Why are there no actors with blond hair and blue eyes in the movie? But brown and black eyes! But the doll is really blonde! These are all intentional by the director! In fact, have you found that these nicknames are actually related to the doll itself. I believe these nicknames are just like the dolls themselves. Sweet Doudou is the nickname given to her by the security guard, the rocket is given to her by the chef, the amber is given by the doorman, and the blonde hair is given by the attending doctor. Why do you say that? Look back at my analysis.
So why do dolls divide their personality into five people? What did the security supervisor do? The doll is 20 years old. Although she looks like Lori, she is a beautiful woman and a mental patient. No one believes what the psychopath says. Therefore, all kinds of men in mental hospitals have bad ideas about dolls and look for opportunities to rape dolls in these five days. The first person who raped her was the head of security. Some people think that the security captain raped other beautiful female mental patients. Sweet Doudou is obviously the nickname given to the doll by the security captain. Then the janitor, then the chef, all of them found the opportunity to rape the doll in a short time. Chefs, in particular, are resisted by dolls (the nickname of the rocket means hot on the one hand and high on the other), and blonde is the nickname given by the attending doctor. Obviously, the doll (blonde) sought the help of the attending doctor, but because of the arrogance of the security captain and insufficient evidence (because the doll is a paranoid patient), she did not take action.
That explains why every dance is a battle! In fact, dolls interpret every rape and sexual act as a fighting dance, thus splitting themselves into different selves to face this battle. The illusion of two dimensions keeps switching, which makes the truth hidden. And the doll fell into self-redemption. Finally, let the sweet pea escape and get caught. It shows that the doll has escaped from the mental hospital mentally, leaving her raped body there and calmly facing the operation of becoming a vegetable. Finally, the sweet pea met the bus of the sage, which was actually the last illusion of becoming a vegetable. It was cruel and unfortunate, and the final outcome could not be changed. The doll underwent surgery and became a vegetable. The tone of the final ending is still relatively clear, not the cold tone of a mental hospital, so it is just a personality escape of the doll. Also, at the beginning of the film, the doll also said that everyone has his own guardian angel, which may be an old man or a child. It also implies that the old image of the mentor and the last bus uncle in the battle scene is her guardian angel.
Then the doctor's strangeness and the communication with the attending doctor made the attending doctor find that the signature was not his own. Reminiscent that the doll failed to seek her own help, injured the security captain and helped other patients escape (presumably unsuccessful), she decided to call the police and the police obtained evidence. Before the captain of the security guard was finally taken away, the performance in front of Doll Dish and the following sentence "It's none of my business, it was requested by her stepfather" fully explained the truth.
In fact, this story is similar to the logic of Cry on an Island, Shutter Island, Inception and Passengers. In fact, the beginning is true, and then it is the fantasy world of the female host. The reason why everyone didn't see through the plot in the fog was entirely because the director misled everyone and only told everyone the plot, leaving more than N clues for everyone to find the plot themselves, but didn't tell everyone clearly that this was not an open ending.
There are three levels in this movie: 1, the battle scene between Lori and the game; 2. Switch between Inception's plot and fantasy; 3. Various obscure clues and stories.
This is still a very nerve-racking movie. In a word, the director is actually telling a cruel true story, just wearing the cloak of Lori and illusory plot.
