Psycho-themed sucker punch

After a nap, I found that my IQ has improved.

Thinking about yesterday's movie again, the play is still very good. The

so-called profound people think deeply, and the superficial people think superficially.

A successful commercial film often can Let everyone get what they want. The most representative one is The Matrix.

In The Matrix, if you don't want to understand the plot, just keep your eyes open and watch Levi's. The epoch-making visual effects will make you happy. And Often you can't understand the plot even once. But after watching it many times, the plot has a research head, and more research is the philosophical thought contained in this movie. So you find, wow, this is actually a post-production with considerable philosophical thinking. Science fiction movie.

I was thinking about sucker punch yesterday before going to bed. This is really not a successful movie, obviously, he wants to achieve something like The Matrix, but he didn't finish bullet time well, with too many changes and lack of rhythm When it comes to fighting, it's not even as good as the long time ago Final Fantasy that didn't have a plot.

And when it comes to the plot, this movie is actually very interesting.

Let's talk about the protagonist first. The protagonist must be sweet pea. Get it through.

In this movie, everyone is not necessarily real. It's just a reflection of the real world from sweet pea's mind. The real world in the

eyes of a psychopath is unreal to us.

It is clear that sweet pea has a serious delusional disorder and split personality.

Look carefully at the whole movie, in fact, each shot of baby doll and sweet pea will have very similar counterpoints, including perspective.

First of all, starting from the movie, a curtain is opened (indicating that this is a scene or Fantasy) sweet pea's family life and eventually being sent to a mental hospital begins with a voiceover with inexplicable content, the voiceover is actually sweet pea, and the baby doll appears as a bed.

When baby doll entered the mental hospital and sweet pea shared the same room for the first time (that is, when sweet pea appeared,) the appearance of pea's bed, and even the direction of the camera, were completely the same as doll's.

Then, the nurses in the mental hospital Talking with doll's father, each time there is a close-up of Doll's big eyes looking straight ahead, it is obvious that this is Doll's fantasy of two conversations behind him, or PEA's split personality fantasy. (Fantasy people often Will think that others want to harm him).

Then, pea also saw several key props that doll sees at the same time.

Doll has a sister. And rocket seems to be pea's sister. (At the end of their conversation, it seems that they are There is a common mother)

and then, it is the lens of doll entering the operating room, that what kind of pituitary surgery is imagined by doll as an operation that takes nails into the brain. When the operation is about to start, suddenly doll becomes pea , So, obviously, it was actually pea who performed the operation, and it was also the doll.

Then the various movies that followed were actually her fantasy at the moment when she had the operation right away (the mental patient's brain turns really fast , I can think about so many things in those few seconds) Thinking

back, after Doll killed his sister, the police came, and they gave Doll a shot for no reason. Can we think that, in fact, from beginning to end, it was pea , From the ward to the operating room, then anesthesia, and then the inner world of Pea in the process of finishing the operation.

And finally, the wise man who has always appeared in Doll's fantasy appeared in Pea's world.

Everyone has always thought that the doll of the protagonist is the last In fact, it's just a victim of pea, she is the last prop in the five props.

In the end, after the operation was completed, pea got on the express train of the wise men to heaven, leaving behind a doll with only a body. In fact, doll itself means body and puppet in English. That is to say, pea disappeared with the pituitary gland. We are normal people's sight. We have left a body that does not exist. It is very romantic. As Descartes said: I think, therefore I am, I am a thinking thing.

This is an existential film, what is Existence? Is it the outside world? No, is you yourself? What is in you? It is said that you have thought, the memory you generate, the process of your thinking is the real existence. Everyone exists because of thinking, and is a thought.



In such a spiritual film, there must be many symbolic characters Characters and core props. So the interpretation of this movie is a puzzle game.

Let me first say that this movie has several layers of fantasy.

The first layer of the real world, first of all, is a hospital, maybe a mental hospital, but it is by no means what we see The mental hospital in the film. The mental hospital in the film is already a prison-like place that has been deformed in Pea's mind. For example, Pea's bed must be in a room in reality, but in the film, it is in the same room. on a big stage.

The second layer is the world imaginary by pea, the imaginary mental hospital, the imaginary doll also exists in this mental hospital, and of course the things that happened before doll came to the mental hospital (these imaginations can be compared with the first layer What the real world of the film is opposed to is that the director did not shoot the first layer of the real world, so we can only infer from the mental impression of a mental patient. For example, my reasoning is: the opening paragraph of doll's experience must also be Experienced, but the real world is not necessarily his father wanting to harm them, because these are all from her point of view, especially in the beginning of the scene where she peeped in the door lock, which is very symbolic to represent an inner world Prying into the outside world. So, from the second floor, we come to this conclusion. Pea herself doesn't like her stepfather. After her mother's death, she couldn't bear it. She fantasized about her father's harm to her and her sister, so she wanted to kill her father. , but killed his sister by mistake (the shot did not show the sister being shot, which shows that the director is very aware of a phenomenon in psychology that people will selectively forget the most serious scene of their own mistakes out of the protection of the brain). The story of doing surgery. So all the characters in the second layer are not necessarily good or bad in reality in the first layer. As her caregiver and janitor and all other roles in mental hospitals, it is necessary to limit She is a free person, she will naturally think that they are all bad people. As a female doctor who provides her with psychological counseling, she must always pick up good things and tell her, so she thinks this female doctor is the only good person, even if the last When she signed for her to perform surgery, she believed that someone else signed it on her behalf.

The third floor is where Doll imagined the mental hospital in Pea's fantasy as a brothel. Here are the five core props she was looking for and her four Companions (they are the five core props. The doll is the doll itself, both a person and a prop). Of course, pea thinks that the bad guy is also the bad guy in the doll's brothel.



The fourth floor, the fantasy in doll's fantasy. Interestingly, in fact, the four fantasy purposes of doll are also the four core props. The first time is the Japanese sword, the second time is the German map, and the third time is the medieval giant The fire of the dragon guard, the fourth time is the key to unlock the bomb, there is no fifth fantasy, because the fourth fantasy and the third fantasy are unified in the fifth time, it is the scene where doll sacrifices himself to let pea escape, doll is the fifth A prop. And in the end doll kicked a certain man's balls, and a certain man gave doll a punch. A punch of a man who was kicked balls (suker enough). Finally, the topic of the sucker punch......



Finally, pea is sublimated from all fantasies, and in a new layer of fantasies, the wise man's paradise express is gone.



What's interesting about this movie is that the fantasies of one, two, three, four and the final remake can be reversed.

The only thing the director didn't show, that is, the only thing the audience didn't see is the real world. So the real world can only be imagined by us.

And the four-layer fantasy is the most flamboyant and the most eye-catching, and so on. , so the fantasies of our audience are reversed. We first look at the fourth floor, which is also the most real movie world for us, and then go to the third, to the second, and then to the first.

If we talk about the fantasy of the outside world, we can even say that this is We humans have no way to reach the realm. Maybe the world that the mentally ill see is the real world. We are just a group of ignorant people.

Although we want to normalize the mentally ill, we just turn them into people among us.

For example, pigs' brains are simple, they have no ego, no imagination, and no thinking about existence, so they think the wonderful world in our brains is an alien. So when you live in the world of pigs, pigs still want to You become a pig, and in the end, the pig uses surgery to turn you into a pig.

Therefore, that fantasy may be the most real world. Humans have removed this girl's pituitary gland, and that pituitary gland actually carries the most real Thought, entered another dimension.



Alas, stupid and insignificant human beings, self-righteous human beings! Do you really think your world is the most real world? Hehe.

  • Sweet Pea: Don't tell me. The priest brought you here from the orphanage to lose your virginity, right? Oh, let me rephrase that. To sell it.

  • Sweet Pea: She wasn't impressed. All that gyrating and moaning. The dance should be more than just titillation. Mine's personal. It says who I am. What the heck does yours say?
