Split Movie :

The greatness of the main character in acting out 24 personalities
(Written by Nitania Rianti)




Usually we only know multiple personality people or have 2 personalities, but this time we are surprised by a movie that tells people with 24 different personalities and has a different name in each personality. This film genre is a psychological thriller directed by M Night Shyamalan and the film was released on February 15, 2017, played by James Mcavoy, Anya Taylor, Joy, Jesica Sula, Harley Lu Richardson, Betty Buckley. At the beginning of the opening story of this film is the kidnapping of three teenager by an unknown man, the three girls are put into the car, after realizing they are in the basement, the three girls are very scared and wonder why the kidnappers who have kidnapped them always change strange clothes as if he was not the same person. After one of the three girls realized, apparently the man had a mental disorder or had many personalities, but I was still confused as to what this man's motivation was to kidnap the teenager? This man also claimed to have 23 personalities to a psychiatrist but still there was one more personality that had not yet appeared, that was a very ferocious personality.


McAvoy really animates this role, he is able to play many roles well and cool. Although he doesn't play personality 23 clearly, but there are 4 characters that are most prominent that he plays and very achieve totality. Role as Dennis with obsessive-compulsive disorder, Patricia is a woman who is a woman with cold eyes, Hedwig is a 9-year-old child, and Barry is feminine and likes fashion design, all the characters are well played by MaAvoy. Even the audience can feel that each personality character is really different from one another. Especially what I like most is Hedwig's character, mentioned above that Hedwig is a nosy 9-year-old child who is nosy, high but has a high sense of curiosity.

McAvoy's opponent in this film was a young teenager actress, Anya Taylor-Joy who played Casey. Narrated in this film Casey is a teenager who has an anti-social character because of his dark past, but Casey is very clever and good at using the situation to save McAvoy from this film.


This location setting is not too many places. One of the settings in this movie is more played in the basement. What is unique about this movie because the point of view of the story is not taken from the protagonist who is actually here is Casey, because in this movie prioritizes the Antagonist named Kevin, what causes Kevin to have 23 personalities then what is the motivation to kidnap three teenager, it all makes the audience curious as well as feel the thriller sensation in this movie.
So to sum up, overall this movie really stressed and made all the audience feel curious, not only that, the acting of the actors and actresses also managed to make the audience amazed and appreciate the film and the audience feels tense when watching it. But at the end of the story it doesn't make sense, also this film managed to make people difficult to guess and unexpected.
