Following this, John gets hurled into depression and cuts his wrist. Dr Nariman tells Elena that John has found out and she needs to stay out of Johnathan’s life. Looking at the security footage, people think Jonathan has lost his mind and fire him. John goes ballistic and wrecks Johnathan’s office space. Johnathan can’t get himself to do it, and Dr Nariman tells John. John turns suicidalĮventually, Jonathan confesses to Dr Nariman, who instructs him to confess to John about Elena. After some time, John resumes making his videos, but Jonathan doesn’t mention Elena, who is weirdly okay with this situation of cheating on one persona with the other. Jonathan falls in love with Elena, and the two start seeing each other. Jonathan tries to bring him back with a recording from Elena it doesn’t work. John stops making his recordings in the days to come. Elena is furious, assuming John is cooking up an idiotic lie to break up with her.

But John is unable to turn off his emotions and secretly starts dating Elena. Dr Nariman has proposed a no-girlfriend rule as it becomes difficult for a person to be in a sensible and steady relationship with only one of the personalities. John meets and falls in love with a bartender, Elena. Note – John is not evil he doesn’t want to kill Jonathan. John is disorganized, emotional, needs to be around people, and longs for a romantic relationship. John – we only see him in recordings and in the final scene of the film. Why insecure? Jonathan thinks one day his brother will find love for someone else and have Jonathan removed, as in, killed. He is organized, has a job, abides by rules, a loner, and is insecure. He has the 7AM to 7PM part of the day and goes to bed at 3PM. Jonathan or J – this is the persona whose perspective we witness the film from. They both make recordings of their daily events to ensure the other persona is up to date with the remainder of their life. The two of them consider each other to be brothers. The remaining two personas grow up together with a structure to their existence – one of them is in control from 7AM to 7PM, while the other takes charge from 7PM to 7AM. John and Jonathan: Personality Differences When Jonathan was 9-years-old, Dr Nariman removed the third personality technically, that third persona was killed. Unfortunately, the third persona (not shown in the movie) kept the mind from functioning properly. She also embedded a device (behind the ear) that ensured only one persona is awake and the others are asleep. Jonathan Movie: Plot Walkthrough Who is Dr Nariman, and what has she done with Jonathan?ĭr Nariman, who adopted Jonathan (them), segregated the mind into three parts, one for each personality. Jonathan’s case is more complicated – this is multiple people born into one body. I’m not sure if this can be classified as schizophrenia, where the personalities emerge over time as cognitive capabilities develop. His mother abandons him as a baby in the hospital because he wouldn’t stop crying – this is because of the three personas’ congestion in one tiny mind. The movie Johnathan is the story of a person born with a unique condition, a person born with three distinct personalities.
