The ending of Denis Villeneuve’s new movie Enemy has been called perhaps “the scariest ending of any film ever made.” And much of its scariness derives from its initial inexplicability. The movie has described as “head-scratching,” “mysterious,” and “gloriously enigmatic.” As one critic put it, “I kinda dug it but I have no idea if it’s any good or what happened or where I am anymore and what aiiiiiiiieeeeeeee that last sound/shot.”

刚看完,大胆提出自己的推理装个逼(严重剧透!)

证据二:怀孕妻子对于紧张腼腆、性格明显区别于演员的老师展现出了异乎寻常的接纳行为,并且说:“学校里怎么样?”“我希望你留下。”
以上的细节其实就说明他老婆从一开始就注意到他的精分,比如从演员人格口袋里发现自己老公教书的地址和不一样的名字~亚当,当妻子去找到当老师的老公却发现他不认识自己时,妻子已经明白了真相,所以她才会对演员老公说:“我以为你应该知道。”
还有,当教师人格苏醒开始追查演员身份…
