Umlingiswa kaMcAvoy ku Hlukanisa, UKevin, ubhekene necala elibi le-DID [Dissociative Identity Disorder]. Kuyo yonke impilo kaKevin, umzimba wakhe nengqondo yakhe kudlale ukubamba kubantu abangaphezu kwamashumi amabili abahlukene, amashumi amabili nane ukuba abe ngqo. Abayisishiyagalolunye balaba bantu bavezwa kule filimu.

Ngemuva kokufunda lo mbhalo, nginqume ngokushesha ukuthi angidlalwanga uKevin kepha ubuntu obuyisishiyagalolunye obuhlukile. Ukwenza le filimu kucishe kufane nokwenza amafilimu ahlukene ayisishiyagalolunye ngasikhathi sinye. ”

Hlukanisa kuncike ekusebenzeni kukaMcAvoy nasekhonweni lakhe lokukholisa izethameli ukuthi babhekene nalobu buntu obuhlukile kuyo yonke ifilimu. "UKevin uvela ebuntwaneni obunyantisayo, obabugcwele ukuhlukunyezwa nokuhlukumezeka," kusho uMcAvoy. “Yile ndlela okwakheke ngayo ubuntu obuhlukile ngaphakathi kuye - lena yindlela akwazi ngayo ukubhekana nakho konke okwakumzungezile. Umzimba kaKevin uphuke kakhulu ngenxa yokuphila kwakhe okunyantisayo ebuntwaneni, futhi waqala ukukhombisa ukuphazamiseka kobuntu obuhlukene lapho eneminyaka emithathu noma emine. UDennis wayengumuntu wokuqala owakhula, kwase kuthi uBarry, uHedwig, noPatricia beze bezomsindisa ezindaweni ezahlukene empilweni yakhe. Ezinye zezinhlamvu zine-bandwidth ebanzi kanti ezinye zinomkhawulokudonsa omncane. UKevin nobuntu bakhe babeshayiwe futhi bancipha impilo yakhe yonke. "

Hlukanisa yifilimu elinyantisayo ngokwengqondo, elichaza ukuvela kwenombolo yobuntu engamashumi amabili nane, owaziwa ngeThe Beast.

Bazizwa sengathi basejele. Isilo sivela njengonkulunkulu onomusa kuKevin nakubo bonke abanye ubuntu. Isilo sivela njengomuntu ofana nonkulunkulu futhi sibenza bakholelwe kubo ngokuzifundisa ukuthi bakhethekile, nokuthi umhlaba ogulayo ubazungezile. Isilo sibafundisa ukuthi akugcini nje ngokujwayelekile kepha bajwayelekile ngokweqile. Isilo sizicabangela njengomuntu omsulwa ngokweqile, futhi sinobudlova futhi sibi kakhulu. Isilo silawula ubuntu obuhlukahlukene ngaphakathi kukaKevin, futhi sidudula uDennis, oba yinduna yeSilo, ukujezisa wonke umuntu ongcolile. Lokhu kuholela ekuthunjweni kwamantombazane amathathu asakhula kule filimu. ”

Engikufundile ukuthi abanye abantu be-DID bagcina izidayari, omunye eguqulela ukubhalela omunye, ukuze nje bakwazi ukulandela umkhondo wezingxenye ezahlukahlukene zempilo yabo. Ubuntu bunemibono eyehlukene ngoDkt Fletcher nokuthi kufanele baphathwe kanjani. Kwesinye isikhathi ubuntu obunye buzenza omunye umuntu phambi kukaDkt. Fletcher. UDkt Fletcher akalokothi aqiniseke ukuthi kwenzekani, okuyindlela izethameli eziyozizwa ngayo. UFletcher uyabalwela futhi uzama ukufakazela ukuthi i-DID ikhona. ”
