百年50部英文燒腦電影賞析:[18]Hide and Seek 捉迷藏

Widowed Psychologist David Callaway(Robert De Niro)and his daughter Emily(Dakota Fanning), with whom he shares a troubled relationship, move after Emily's mother, Allison(Amy Irving), apparently commits suicide. David meets local woman Elizabeth(Elisabeth Shue)and her niece, Amy, who is roughly the same age as Emily. Hoping to cultivate a new friendship for Emily, David sets up a play-date for her. The play-date is spoiled however when Emily cuts up the face of Amy's doll. Despite the unsuccessful play-date, David and Elizabeth hit it off, though Emily acts in a hostile manner towards her as well.

A family friend, Katherine(Famke Janssen)——herself a fellow psychologist, visits David and Emily to try to help David and talks to Emily about her obsession with Charlie, her only new, imaginary, friend. Later, Elizabeth visits again, hoping to make peace with Emily. When Emily says she is playing hide-and-seek with Charlie, Elizabeth indulges her by pretending to look for him. However, someone pushes Elizabeth out the window to her death. When David asks Emily who did it, once more she blames Charlie, admitting Charlie “made her help him”. A distraught David, armed with a knife, goes outside, where he meets his neighbor. He assumes his neighbor is Charlie and cuts him with the knife, after which the suspicious neighbor calls the police.

Back in the house, David finds that, although he had seemingly been in his study many times, the boxes were actually never unpacked. David realizes that he has a split personality and that Charlie is not imaginary at all: Charlie is David himself. Whenever it appeared David was in his study, Charlie was actually in control. David also realizes that under his Charlie personality, he killed his wife and made it appear to be a suicide. He also fully recalls the events of the party the night before his wife's death, where he had caught his wife cheating on him, which triggered David's personality disorder,

As Charlie, David goes on a killing spree. He viciously attacks the local sheriff and drags Ns body to the cellar. Emily calls Katherine for help who arrives and is herself attacked by Charlie and thrown in the cellar with the sheriff. A terrified Emily manages to escape the house and knife-wielding Charlie seeking her out and runs into the cave. Katherine takes the gun from the mortally wounded sheriff and follows Charlie to the cave. Charlie pretends to be David, admits he, not Emily is sick, then proceeds to viciously attacks Katherine. As Charlie threatens Emily, Katherine just manages to kill him.

Sometime later, Emily is preparing for school in her new life with Katherine. However, Emily's drawing of herself with Katherine has two heads, suggesting that she now also suffers from a split personality.

自從艾米麗(達(dá)科塔·范寧飾)的母親艾莉森(艾米·歐文飾)顯然是自殺之后，喪偶的心理學(xué)家大衛(wèi)·卡拉威(羅伯特·德尼羅飾)和女兒艾米麗就搬家了。大衛(wèi)和他女兒艾米麗的關(guān)系一直不好。大衛(wèi)邂逅了當(dāng)?shù)嘏右聋惿?伊麗莎白·舒伊飾)以及她的侄女艾米。艾米和艾米麗兩人年齡相仿。為了使艾米麗能培養(yǎng)出新的友誼，大衛(wèi)為她制定了一次玩伴約會(huì)。然而約會(huì)卻被艾米麗劃破艾米玩具娃娃的臉給破壞了。盡管約會(huì)并不成功，大衛(wèi)和伊麗莎白還是一見(jiàn)如故，但艾米麗卻以敵對(duì)的方式對(duì)待她。

這個(gè)家庭的朋友凱瑟琳(法米克·詹森飾)本身也是一名心理醫(yī)生，為了幫助大衛(wèi)來(lái)看望大衛(wèi)和艾米麗，并和艾米麗談起了她迷戀的查理，她唯一的、新的、虛構(gòu)的朋友。后來(lái)，伊麗莎白再次登門(mén)，希望能和艾米麗和平相處。當(dāng)艾米麗說(shuō)她在跟查理玩捉迷藏時(shí)，伊麗莎白由著她，假裝在尋找他。然而，卻有人把伊麗莎白推出了窗外導(dǎo)致死亡。大衛(wèi)問(wèn)艾米麗是誰(shuí)干的，她再次指責(zé)查理，說(shuō)是查理“迫使她幫助他”。憂心如焚的大衛(wèi)拿起一把刀，出了門(mén)，遇到了他的鄰居。他以為他的鄰居就是查理，用刀刺向了他，起了疑心的鄰居報(bào)了警。

回到屋里，大衛(wèi)發(fā)現(xiàn)，雖然他已經(jīng)來(lái)過(guò)書(shū)房多次，但還從未打開(kāi)過(guò)這些盒子。大衛(wèi)意識(shí)到他人格分裂了，查理根本不是虛構(gòu)的。查理是大衛(wèi)自己。每每他研究時(shí)，查理就會(huì)出現(xiàn)，其實(shí)是查理在控制他。大衛(wèi)也明白在查理人格的控制下，是他殺了妻子，然后偽裝成自殺的樣子。他也完全想起了妻子去世之前的那個(gè)晚上聚會(huì)的事情。他發(fā)現(xiàn)妻子背叛了他，引發(fā)了他的人格混亂。

變成查理的大衛(wèi)大開(kāi)殺戒。他兇狠地襲擊了當(dāng)?shù)氐木L(zhǎng)，把他拖到地窖。艾米麗打電話讓凱瑟琳趕來(lái)幫忙。結(jié)果她也遭到了查理的襲擊，被扔進(jìn)了警長(zhǎng)所在的地窖。嚇壞了的艾米麗設(shè)法逃出房子，查理?yè)]舞著刀出去找她。于是她跑進(jìn)地洞。凱瑟琳從遭到重傷的警長(zhǎng)那里拿了他的槍，跟蹤著查理進(jìn)了地洞。查理裝成大衛(wèi)，承認(rèn)了是自己出了問(wèn)題，不是艾米麗有病。后來(lái)他繼續(xù)兇狠地攻擊凱瑟琳。就在查理威脅艾米麗時(shí)，凱瑟琳設(shè)法殺了他。

不久之后，艾米麗準(zhǔn)備和凱瑟琳去學(xué)校開(kāi)始她的新生活。然而在艾米麗的畫(huà)中，自己和凱瑟琳有兩個(gè)腦袋，暗示她現(xiàn)在也患有人格分裂。
