I was watching this movie called Identity this weekend and I thought it would be perfect to write my paper on since it’s such an interesting movie. It has you guessing the whole time and there’s a twist at the end that leaves you in shock. The movie is about these 10 people that get stranded in the middle of nowhere at a motel. And one by one they start getting killed off. In a different location this guy with schizophrenia is undergoing some kind of treatment. Throughout the movie John Cusack, who is one of the people stranded, tries to figure out who is committing the murders and he tries to keep everyone that is still alive safe. Sorry to ruin the ending but in the end we find out that the whole movie is being played in this crazy guys head and all the people that were stranded at the motel were actually his multiple personalities being put in a face off so there could only be one left.
What really got to me in the movie and I was trying to figure out was why John Cusack was the dominant personality. I thought that it was because maybe he had some unresolved issues with his past and he was trying to make up for whatever mistake he made now. I figured this because in one scene Amanda Peet, who plays the role of a prostitute, tells John that he isn’t a cop anymore so what is he trying to prove.
I have to finish watching the movie to figure out what John true reasons are though. So I’ll let you know when I find out.
that was a crazy movie i remember that movie this movie i love the fact that their were ten diffrent personilitys and dont forget they all had the same birthday i belive and the personity or should i say the main character basicallly in his mind brougth all hiss personilitys together to this hotel with plans to kill them off one by one he also had men and women personilitys this movie is kind of in the same family as my movie 1408 because it deals with mind controls but writing about ten diffrent personilitys could become a bit of a challenge this movie would be like writing about ten diffrent movies all in one or ten lilttle short flims i would be careful has to how much info you are putting into one character. maybe focusing on who the muderer is will narrow the ten charactores down and leave more roon for the main characters.

This sounds like a good movie. I will have to check it out. i couldn’t figure out waht your focusing question is. Is it the title? It sounds like this movie has a lot to write about because of all the personalities they are dealing with in the one character. Does your title focus on the one character or is it about the rest of the characters in the movie as well? I guess I will have to rent the movie myself. By the way, is it an intense movie? I ask because I don’t like movies that drag along.
