We can see from the film that the most prominent manifestation of this patient’s symptoms is passive obedience. Passive obedience means that the patient passively obeys the orders and requirements of the doctor or other people. Even if the patient completes the actions required by others is not good for him and makes him uncomfortable, the patient absolutely obeys. More common in schizophrenia stress type. This has been said very clearly in the movie.
Next, analyze the etiology of this patient.
The etiology of mental illness is not clear, but there is relevant evidence that it is related to certain genetic factors, psychosocial factors and corresponding stress events.
Let's talk about genetic factors first. At the beginning of the film, when the heroine, the patient, was just born, her mother saw the fairy godmother and another fairy who suddenly appeared out of the smoke and gave a bad gift to the newborn. This is a very obvious hallucination. Vivid and vivid, it shows that the mental disorder of the patient's mother is already very serious at this time. It is very likely that the heroine was already suffering from some kind of mental illness before the birth of the heroine. Unfortunately, her mental illness has had a great impact on the heroine. People with mental disorders have no self-awareness. They can't distinguish the difference between reality and hallucinations, but hallucinations are not always present. For some special reason, after the heroine’s mother discovered that the heroine was also suffering from a certain mental illness, perhaps due to a strong sense of guilt, she attributed the cause to herself, and later, in order to be able to live better, or to be more spiritual The memory loss caused by the disease is fictional and so on. Her brain created a story about a fairy godmother.
Now let’s talk about psychosocial factors. In the film, the heroine's father rarely appears, only the heroine's mother dies and the heroine's stepmother shows up. Even at the wedding between the heroine and the prince, she only showed her face. In such an important scene, the father has so few shots, indicating that the relationship between the heroine and her father does not seem to be as good as it seems. The wife who suffered from mental illness did not even care about his daughter very much. Later, when he discovered that her daughter might have inherited his wife's mental illness, he could imagine that he disliked this daughter even more. However, in the heroine’s fantasy that her father cares about herself and loves herself, this is not the case. If this is the case, after the heroine was bullied by her stepmother and forced to run away from home, her father still did not say anything and still lives with them. Isn't it very illogical to be together? The protagonist’s growth environment is probably not as good as the film shows. The mother who suffers from mental illness and can’t distinguish reality from hallucinations, and the father who became bored and unconcerned about it, it is conceivable that the real childhood life of the heroine is What it looks like. It seems that the heroine may not have run away from home, but her father sent her to a mental hospital when her condition is getting worse.
Then let’s talk about stress events and the death of the mother. This is a very traumatic event for the heroine. Although the mother suffers from mental illness, it is still caring for the heroine. How big is the death of the mother for the heroine? Naturally, the blow is self-evident. But this is not shown in the film at all. Many times, people will bury their traumatic memories, unwilling to think about it, and even more unwilling to share it with others, so many illogical phenomena in the film are actually processed and processed by the patient's consciousness.
After the heroine ran away from home, she first met an elf, and then the prince. In the second half of the movie, the heroine and the prince went on the road to fight through thorns and kill monsters. She also danced and sang at the giant's banquet, and met Shishi. People blame friends. But is this true? We have previously inferred that the so-called runaway of the heroine was actually sent to a mental hospital. So now we can boldly assume that these people are actually her patients, or her hallucinations at all. The so-called Prince Charming is nothing but her psychiatrist. It can also be seen from the heroine's attitude towards the "prince". At first, she was very resistant and then slowly fell in love with the prince, which is very consistent with a psychological phenomenon: empathy.
And later someone ordered her to kill the prince, she had to obey, but at the last minute she really loved to break the curse, and the two had a grand wedding.
The last two got on the carriage and left the castle after a strange song and dance.
The main points of this passage are: the
heroine asks the elf to tie her to a tree to avoid killing the prince. This passage may be due to the heroine’s illness from time to time. At this time, the consciousness is relatively clear, or the heroine may suddenly Produced a violent tendency and was restrained by doctors to avoid hurting others.
Later, the bad fairy came over to release her. It is very likely that the heroine broke away from the rope. Some mental patients with violent tendencies have great strength when they become ill. It is not that there is no such possibility.
And the final ending.
I am more inclined to think that the heroine's condition has deteriorated, and the "prince" has discovered the patient's empathy, and the way of rejection is improper. The patient really killed the "prince". After that, the patient could not accept this fact. Under the stimulus of this event, her condition worsened and her hallucinations became more obvious. In her hallucinations, she did not kill her own doctor, but the two left the mental hospital after they got married and lived there. A happy life. However, the fact may be that after killing the doctor, she was transferred to a more rigorously managed mental hospital. Otherwise, why did the two people leave their castle at the end of the story?
Therefore, according to the various symptoms of the heroine in the movie, passive obedience, visual and auditory hallucinations, and perhaps violent tendencies, it is very likely that she is suffering from schizophrenia. So what this movie is going to tell is a story about a patient's condition gradually getting worse.
