100 DAYS CHALLENGE #4 We watched Split yesterday. It's M. Night Shyamalan's movie about a man with 23 personalities living in his mind. This thing is called multiple personalities disorder or dissociative identity disorder. I guess the movie is based on the case of Billy Milligan who had this disorder which was widely covered by the media. I think Split was the best movie of Shyamalan's trilogy. It keeps up the suspense till the very end you don't have any idea how the story will end. James McAvoy acting was great! The personalities that live in his character's mind all behave differently and dress differently. Of course, the simplest way to know who 'took control of the light' is just to look at the outfit. But the thing that makes his acting so good is that you can actually tell the difference between the personalities even if they don't have time to change the clothes. It's about body language, mimics, small details. I watched the movie in Russian but I think I do have to watch it again in English just to find out how James McAvoy changes the manner those personalities speak. I'm pretty sure the dubbing didn't reflect it 100%.
