Psychopathological analysis of Yaoye's panic trail.

During this period of time, I was obsessed with doing this. The horror films produced by the Americans were either superficial or esoteric...


1: The male protagonist heard the news of DICK's murder at home, and then the police car made a loud noise. He looked out, But he didn't see anything... This shows that subconsciously, he knew that DICK was dead, or hoped that DICK would die.

2: When attending the banquet, FRED said that DICK was dead, and his friends didn't believe it. The problem here is that the Is DICK dead? Did FRED just subconsciously think DICK was dead? Or did FRED really kill DICK, but the body was not found. I personally prefer the former, and the reason will be explained later.


3: There are The two details were ignored by many reviews and interpretations. The first detail was that FRED called home, but no one answered the phone at home. The second detail was that FRED saw RENEE get close to another man on stage, and then left together It

can be seen that FRED has long known that RENEE was having an affair.

4: Undoubtedly, FRED killed RENEE and was taken away by the police. In the prison, the medical staff learned that FRED could not sleep, so they prescribed drugs to him. I believe that the plot of PETE is in FRED's hallucinations after taking the medicine.


5: In FRED's dream, he created an ordinary world for himself. A handsome boy, a girlfriend, and a good family. But in his dream, everything develops In the runaway, the dream is gradually sobering up, he hears his own music on the radio, he sees DICK, he sees the avatar of RENEE... and everything is out of control.


6: PETE helps the avatar of RENEE, which was already DICK's mistress' ALICE fell in love with each other. After the incident, the two conspired to murder and support him, DICK, but he and ALICE actually killed another person together, and the two didn't think it was very strange. As if that person was DICK.


After re-summarizing the details, my judgment is: FRED's living conditions led to the result of killing his wife. FRED has always been haunted by the past of his wife, RENEE, because RENEE met FRED through DICK. In reality, DICK is a producer. FRED has always been very depressed about this. Until one day, he saw RENEE leave with a man, he called home but no one answered. In his heart, FRED had a wife out of the wall. and eventually led to his murder of his wife...


In FRED's hallucination, he portrayed himself as a pure-hearted boy who was just beginning his career in the world. He was handsome and strong. He had a stable job and good relationships. Then He also created a perfect version of RENEE. In reality, RENEE has black hair and black clothes and is reticent, giving people a mysterious and unpredictable feeling. In fantasy, ALICE's blonde and white clothes are pure and sexy in appearance, almost perfect .Alice is also very active emotionally. She often takes the initiative to touch PETE's face, because the relationship between the two really belongs to the love of sister and brother. This obviously implies that FRED is not good at dealing with feelings. He is the passive side in the relationship. He needs to be taken care of... From here, we can understand why FRED in reality is so uneasy about his relationship, suspects that his wife is out of the wall, and finally leads to a murder case...

In the hallucination, FRED killed two people, one was in reality The one that RENEE took away, and the other is DICK. I personally think that neither of them died in reality, but FRED couldn't bear the existence of these two people, so he regarded these two people in his own fantasy. The enemy.

FRED has always been concerned about the fact that he only met RENEE through DICK. What's more, RENEE once said that DICK had introduced her to her job. Given the nature of DICK's work, it is difficult to guarantee that FRED will not think blindly. But one thing is certain. , FRED has absolutely no basis for RENEE to shoot

** I'm afraid DICK is nothing more than a producer who makes **...

In short, in the fantasy, he killed the person who probably had an affair with RENEE, and then killed DICK. At this time, FRED has destroyed his dream, he came to his own residence in reality, this time he can finally be proud in the hallucination Tell yourself that Dick is dead and he killed it.

Of course it's all just a dream of his own making. In fact the only person he killed was his own wife. The only person he didn't kill in the dream.



I personally The psychoanalysis of FRED is summarized as follows:

FRED loves RENEE very much, he thinks, RENEE must have filmed the work under DICK. It was indeed confirmed in his fantasies. And FRED (PETE) at the time watched RENEE in the movie get XXOO with his own eyes, but he didn't mind these...

That is to say, FRED in reality was also entangled in these, problems The fact is that FRED in reality will not see all of this with his own eyes as in fantasy. RENEE in reality is still mysterious and doesn't say a word about all of this. After long-term addiction to this, FRED finally collapsed and killed RENEE died.


But unfortunately, he was unable to kill the two people he really wanted to kill, all this could only be done in hallucinations...
