I don't know if you have heard the saying: the understanding between people is only based on imagination.
For example, to get someone who has never had a baby to understand how painful it is to have a baby, I can only ask him to imagine the pain of cutting his hand with a knife.
What if you want to explain what snow looks like to someone who has never seen it? All I could tell him was that it was something as white as sugar.
So, when it comes to having babies or snow, they say, oh, I know, it's a knife that cuts through the palm of your hand and it's the same as sugar.
But is it really the same?
It reminds me of the plot of Yukishui instructing Ryoji to rape all the women who oppose her in Baiye Xing.
It's not a revenge,
it's a different emotion:
Hey! Don't say anything about being strong, so pitiful, one way or another.
Want to understand me? Then go experience what I've experienced, experience what I've experienced. Then you can understand me and you will become another me. Ah~~~, I can finally be understood, I am so happy.
So, to understand depression? Become a depression. The second half of the film is destined to become a classic. The screenwriter uses a supernatural metaphor to turn everyone on earth into a melancholia: with the attack of the Melancholy Star, fear, sadness, and suffocation (The Melancholy Star consumes a lot of the planet. of oxygen), cold (unusual weather such as snow caused by the Melancholy star), suicide. The whole film is turned over at once. The heroine, who has been lonely, helpless, and helpless in the first half, looks at all the people who are lonely, helpless, and hesitant in the second half, with her eyes clearly saying: Look, such a broken star frightened you into this, I suffered a hundred times more than you.
Another interesting aspect of the film is the heroine's brother-in-law. Almost all the comments are about this guy. Because it was too happy, a person who looked down on depression so much, ended up being the first to commit suicide. But in my humble opinion, the film was never made for pleasure, it came from an insight into human nature. In Freud's seven models of conscious-subconscious antagonism, this is called reaction formation, where people act in opposite ways to the subconscious. Because my brother-in-law is a more vulnerable person than anyone else, he can only show special contempt for depression. Just like when Melancholy struck later, all he could do was to constantly and firmly deny any doubt, because it was not for his fragile nerves to bear.
