— Contents and key concepts
Kevin, and twenty-three selves
The notes take up Split, a film by M. Night Shyamalan. James McAvoy plays Kevin, a man who has twenty-three personalities.
Among them, Barry is the most ordinary, and the one who keeps the others in order. The notes also mark a twenty-fourth personality as being at issue.
A rebellion, and three girls
Three of the personalities, they write, rebel and leave Barry’s control. They kidnap three high-school girls.
That kidnapping sits beside another line in the film: the work of talking, and of trying to understand what is happening inside Kevin.
Dr. Fletcher, and a film that cuts
Dr. Fletcher is the person who counsels Kevin. The film, the notes write, keeps cutting between that counseling and the girls’ attempt to escape.
They wanted to sit with that movement between the office and the locked room. The same Korean notes, written out more fully, are on CampusDown.
