The perfect world from the perspective of psychology

Kameron 2021-12-09 08:01:27

I accidentally saw this movie in a certain column and thought it should be good, so I just took it and watched it, but in the process of watching it, the inertia of learning psychology made me think more than once that the various psychological influences have on the drama. The influence of the characters in the play, and the psychological expression of the characters in the play.
First, childhood experiences can not get rid of Butch
Butch's father is an irresponsible drunkard, my mother was a prostitute, not perfect or that such a special family to Butch bears a deep imprint.
Deep down in his heart, he knew what he lacked and what he wanted. He knew that his mother had suffered a lot to raise her, so he killed the person who hurt his mother. When he lived with his father, he knew that his father would not bear it. Responsibility, but still loves Dad, because he kept the postcard that Dad sent him. After escaping from prison, he wanted to go all the way to the place on the postcard to see where Dad lived. It seemed that he could feel his father’s love there.
Therefore, he does not want any dissatisfaction in his childhood to happen to the children who are with him. Therefore, he regards Philip as a friend, so that Philip feels that he is useful, can navigate, and can help with things; he let Philip play" "Trick or Treat" game; he asked Philip to write down all the things he wanted to do but were not allowed to do, and he made a deal with the detective before he was arrested.
However, his hopes are inevitably extreme. On the road, he was very angry when he saw other parents not treating their children well. Undoubtedly, he passed on his childhood anger to these parents. When he was at the farmer’s house, this kind of dissatisfaction reached the extreme, even Lost reason.
Therefore, rather than saying that he loves Philip, it is better to say that he loves himself when he was a child. He regards the child around him as the self he was when he was a child, so that when he was a child, he could live again according to his expectations.
2. Philip,
a child who was forced to experience , was kidnapped by a robber, and fell in love with the robber during his relationship with the robber, and in the process, he saw the so-called good and evil too early. The so-called good or bad, he was afraid that Butch would kill the farmer, so he shot Butch. He was afraid that Butch would be killed by the police, so he insisted on staying with Butch. A child is beyond his own age and understands the power of transcending morality.
This is not necessarily a good thing for him, no one knows whether he will become another Butch one day. Didn't Butch have gone through the vicissitudes of life prematurely, and only came to this step now, also with good intentions, and the ending is nothing but a tragic death.
3. The self-righteous detective.
Twenty years ago, out of his understanding of Butch’s father, the detective felt that Butch would be more likely to commit a crime and degenerate when he was with him. Therefore, he asked the judge for Butch’s sake. Sent Butch to the reformation house. It was precisely because of the various experiences in the reformatory that made the Butch of today. In the end, the detective who watched Butch's death shed tears of regret, undoubtedly because he was making decisions for other people's lives, and this was extremely inappropriate. No one has the right to interfere in the life path of others. Don't let your self-righteous kindness harm others.

Psychology is really harmful, a movie with tears, such an analysis, how can it feel chilling.
I remember Butch clutching his wound and looking for Philip and said: I have only killed two people in my life, one hurt my mother and the other hurt you.
In a society where guns are flooded, such a person is definitely a good person, a person of integrity and devotion.

    He saw him, he took him away, just like he took away his childhood self. He finally believed that there were ghosts in this world, and the little ghost who shot him in front of him was the ghost of his childhood. "Goodbye, this is a perfect journey." Goodbye, Butch.

    【A】Can you think that Dongmu is the director who is most faithful to the "story" itself under the Hollywood system? In other words, his technique, his expression, his narrative style are all giving way to the story, and even his own character has a certain masking, leaving the focus of the drama to the two fleeing. But in fact, there is still persistence. Even the shots that are directly exposed to the sun are so restrained, not to mention the lighting style that Dongmu has always emphasized, which makes the image more grim. The scheduling is still concise, and it can be said to be very direct. The scene where Butch threatens the black family is the most eye-catching. The camera shows the violence that is about to happen from an extremely calm angle, which is straightforward and efficient. Seeing the last scene that echoes from end to end, I have reason to believe that Dongmu's sensationalism is not calculated, everything is just a matter of course.
