A film that was supposed to win an Oscar but was postponed indefinitely

Leonardo finally won the Oscar in 2016 for "the Wild Hunter." after watching the film, my friends and I shared a common sigh: "it's too hard. I was beaten by a bear and climbed into a glacier in the snow." Little plum is desperately trying to win an award this time. "

 in fact, before "the Wild Hunter," Leonardo announced that he would star in a movie called "the crowded Room," and many critics thought that if he could act well in the film, then the Oscars must be his.  
 

but in the end, the film was forced to postpone indefinitely because it was too difficult to shoot and perform.

Today I'd like to introduce to you the movie "crowded Room"

"Crowded Room" is adapted from Daniel case's documentary "24 Billy". It is worth mentioning that the story of "24 Billy" is also the inspiration for "fatal ID", "Forbidden Island" and "fight Club".

he was charged with three counts of felony rape, but eventually became the first suspect in American history to be exonerated for suffering from multiple personality disorders.

most importantly, with the joint efforts of several psychiatrists and psychologists, Billy was diagnosed with a 24-fold personality disorder. In the body of this "criminal", there are 24 completely different "people".

movies with multiple personalities are not uncommon. The protagonists of "Mr. Brooks" have the dual personalities of "Brooks, a good family man" and "Marshall, a cold-blooded killer".

it is not difficult to perform and shoot. When Brooks's personality is online, he is a smiling, well-dressed entrepreneur; when Marshall's personality is online, he is a cold-blooded killer with a cold expression, and the audience can easily see which personality dominates consciousness from all aspects.

is no good, and it can make it clear at a glance that the dominant personality stands in front and the secondary personality stands behind.

Brooks & Marshall's dual personalities appear at the same time

how to express more personality and consciousness?

you can take the familiar play "Sense 8" as an example, which is about synaesthesia between the eight protagonists, which is very similar to "Mr.Brooks".

 when the director wants to show that eight consciousness are online, he will make everyone appear in the same scene at the same time, so that multiple consciousnesses can be presented concretely.

but, as we mentioned, Billy, the protagonist of crowded Room, has a total of 24 personalities.

 at first, the director also wanted to use "Sense 8", but they found that if they wanted to show all of Billy's personality, they had to stand 24 people in the same scene at the same time. Can you see this on camera?  
 

the editor is thinking that the director's sadness can be seen in the movie title "crowded Room". This room should be crowded.

after being forced to give up and present at the same time, Xiao Li decided to challenge "one person to play 24 roles".

to tell you the truth, when the editor was reading the original book 24 Billy, he found that there were men and women among the 24 people with a great age span. It was very difficult for the editor to remember the names of these 24 people. You can imagine how painful Xiao Li had to be during the audition.

the film was originally scheduled for release in 2015, then postponed to 2017, and now it will be 2020 at the earliest, so the film, known as "must win an Oscar", has been postponed indefinitely.

 maybe we won't see this movie coming out shortly, but a wonderful story like 24 Billy should not be missed, so today we will give you a brief introduction to this true, curious and controversial story.

the story originated in October 1977. In just two weeks, there were three rapes and robberies on the campus of Ohio State University. Soon after, the suspect Billy Milligan was arrested. The police found enough evidence of the crime in Billy's home, but Milligan kept claiming his innocence.

this seems to be just the sophistry of a suspect. However, Billy's lawyer found something strange. When talking to Billy, Billy tried to show a very different expression, manner, and even tone. Shortly after being held, Billy smashed the toilet and tried to kill himself.  
 all sorts of signs make the lawyer suspect that Billy is likely to have multiple personalities.

after a series of mediation, the lawyer successfully transferred Billy toThe hospital is diagnosed by psychiatrists and psychologists. In this process, the two gradually established a trusting relationship, and the truth of multiple personalities gradually emerged.

Arthur, one of Billy's dominant personalities, has been trying to save Billy. He worked with lawyers to let other personalities emerge slowly, piecing together Billy's distinctive life experience and personality puzzle.

Childhood is full of hardships made Billy eager to escape the world. He committed suicide many times. On the other hand, the survival instinct is involuntarily protecting Billy and constantly activating the self-defense mechanism. The two forces twisted together and tore Billy to pieces.

"when there is too much sorrow, one can no longer bear it, so I accept all the sufferings that I bet on one person separately."

-- Billy Milligan

thus, one personality after another is created. At different times, when Billy closes his eyes, different personalities appear to cope with the current situation.

the dominant personality Arthur is a 22-year-old man who speaks with a British accent, rational and cold. He was the first to discover the existence of other personalities in Billy. He called the existence and coexistence of these personalities "one family".  
 

when safe, Arthur is in charge of Billy's life and decides who (that is, a certain personality) appears to represent the "family".

these personalities of Billy have different nationalities, sex, age, ability, IQs, and personalities.

the Guardian Reagan is a hateful personality with a strong physique. When the abuser appeared, Reagan repelled each other to protect his family members.  
 

the 26-year-old Billy is the core personality, the original Billy Milligan. When he tried to commit suicide when he was expelled from high school, Arthur's personality stopped him and, along with several other dominant personalities, forced Billy's core personality to fall into a deep sleep.

among the 24 personalities are Adalana, a lesbian, Tom, who is proficient in escape, Kristen, a little girl who can draw, and so on.

there is also a struggle among different personalities. Arthur, the leader, found that Billy had some unpopular personalities (such as theft, hooligans, robbery) and put them into a "deep sleep" in various ways. But things get out of control. In 1974, Billy was sentenced to two years in prison for robbery at a highway rest stop.

Billy's many personalities appear one by one. Shocked, lawyers and doctors tried to prove by a video that Billy was just a liar who was good at acting. But countless tests have confirmed that they did encounter a different "criminal" with tragic experiences and complex multiple personalities.

the story is far from over. While some people expressed sympathy for Billy, others expressed doubt and anger about Billy's story.

Billy, who was acquitted, was transferred to the Athens Mental Health Center for treatment. With the help of the doctor, Billy gradually led a more normal life. He read, wrote, and sketched. As a necessary part of human nature, Billy's many personalities have also been faced squarely and gradually integrated.

teacher, an integrated personality, appeared for the first time.

"teacher" is a fusion of Billy's other 23 personalities. He is smart, humorous, and sensitive, and has a near-complete memory of the past.

the book 24 Billy was completed with the help of the teacher. However, the personality of the "teacher" is also unstable. When tracing back to where he "came from", the teacher's spirit was shocked and collapsed by the stimulation of the past. In addition, persistent reports of hostility in the media caused panic among the public, and a man tried to shoot Billy.

in October 1979, under the intervention of senior officials of the State Bureau of Mental Health, Billy was transferred to the State Lima Hospital, which had strict precautions. There, doctors did not believe that he was a patient with multiple personalities and gave him electroshock therapy and forced him to take various sedatives.

Billy's personality split again, which brought him a devastating disaster-Billy became a prisoner again and was transferred to the Dayton Justice Center. After more diagnosis and treatment, Billy was transferred back to the Athens Mental Health Center.

"I'm just a walking corpse, lying in an empty cave. Saliva oozed from my cracked lips, indicating that antipsychotics were struggling with my spirit, soul, and body. Can I resist the drugs, or will the drugs eventually beat me? Did I come here to avoid the tragic fate beyond the bars? The soul that is incompatible with society has been thrown into the dustbin. Is it worth continuing to exist? Trapped in this steel and concrete box, facing a wall that constantly mocks me and approaches me, what contribution can I make to mankind? "

--

in 1996, Billy issued a statement that he lives in California and owns a small film company. He says he still suffers from multiple personality disorders. Billy said he wanted to make a movie about his experience. However, due to various reasons, it has not been able to achieve.

in 2014, 59-year-old Billy died of cancer at the Columbus convalescent home. Twenty-four Billy died at the same time.

there is a concept throughout the story of "24 Billy": personality. You will see in the story that so many different personalities exist in the same body, in the same mind, behind the same face.

multiple personalities are rare, maybe we won't meet each other, but each of our personalities is not single. All personalities show characteristics in our bodies, just like narcissism and inferiority can coexist in the same heart without exclusion. Those characteristics are aspects of our personality, which make up the whole of us.

but just like the pain, Billy felt when he slowly found out that other personalities had done bad things, it may become more painful as we learn more about ourselves. You may not see different personalities like Billy, but you will see imperfections in yourself.

since it's so painful, why explore yourself and understand your personality?

"as long as you understand this, you will interact better with all kinds of people." But you can never really understand a person until you see the world with his eyes until you get into his skin and walk with him. "
