I would like to bring a bright color to this pale world

Before starting, I want to make a digression. My sister and brother-in-law are both studying mental hygiene, but they are both psychiatrists. We ate together and played a game freely, that is, how to explain to a layman in five minutes the profession you are engaged in or the major you are studying. My sister's explanation fascinated me deeply and shocked me. The following is a condensed content of her narrative.
We are a group of little white people, accounting for 80% of all human beings, and some little gray people and little black people, and even colored people, accounting for 20% of all human beings. Therefore, the little white people think that white is the normal color of human beings, so they try to use public opinion, preaching, psychological counseling, and even drug stimulation to turn the other 20% of people of other colors into little white people like them. Normal social life and study play the role of public opinion and preaching. And psychiatrists use psychological counseling, medication, surgical treatment and other methods to turn people of other colors into little white people.
My sister's use of color not only gives patients a unique non-discriminatory brilliance, but also makes them appear vivid and personal. The so-called normal white is the least colorless and most mechanized group.
After reading "Female Addicts" for the first time, my heart was ups and downs, but my thoughts were very messy, and I couldn't find a good main line to summarize my general thoughts. After reading it the second time, my sister's narration suddenly appeared in my mind, and I began to have some ideas. In fact, this is similar to the comparison between the human soul and the tree in the movie. Perhaps the trees that grow in the garden where the hostess often wanders are normal trees in people’s eyes, like little white men; while the trees that grow on the top of the mountain in a twisted posture and stand in the wind need to be pruned or even eradicated, such as others. Colorful villains.
In fact, there is nothing special about the heroine of the film. She just follows the true self-needs in her heart without any disguise, instead of following the whole society's definition of what should or should not be. It's just that the heroine's true self is too wild. As a woman, what she needs is sex, which is not tolerated by the entire society. Such a setting can only make the conflict more obvious and highlight the difference between white and black. The heroine has a line that has been repeated: Fill my hole. In fact, everyone has a huge hole in their heart that needs to be filled continuously. Money, social status, knowledge, sex, food... many things, different people choose different things to fill their inner void (seems like this is also in the Bible). Theoretically, as long as you take the right way and don't hurt others, then there is nothing wrong. I have to mention my favorite scene here, a fragment from "Mirror". When the hostess saw her childhood in the mirror placed by the mutual aid group facing her hypocritical, she immediately tore up the prepared speech. She said: "I am different from you. You keep asking for sex, just to prove that you are a female. ; And you are just to be filled, whether it is a pile of men or a pile of disgusting food; and you psychological counselors are hypocritical moral fighters, trying to change our pursuit of the true self. I am nymphomania, I am for me It’s nymphomania who is proud (this paragraph is purely paraphrase).” My sister also said: “Little white people think that people of other colors should be painful. If they become little white people, they won’t be suffering anymore. But there is no evidence for little white people. It shows that people of other colors must be miserable." Most stupid people, why turn this colorful world into a single color? Why not give the colorful villains some free space, but use various methods to try to make the colorful villains feel pain and despair?
I am a small person with a little color. I call and enjoy the sunshine and rain of liberalism. I yearn for the true self in my heart, ignoring the universal values ​​of society. I hope I can use my power to fill this white world with a beautiful color.

In addition, I would like to say a scene in the movie that I will never forget. In the last chapter of the movie "the gun", the heroine is abandoned by the traditional society or abandoned by the traditional society. She met a debt collector, a calm, well-educated person. She uses various methods to find each other's weaknesses. Finally discovered that this "Yang Bailao" is a pedophile. After the pedophile was discovered, the sense of shame was beyond words. The film said through the mouth of the heroine that in fact, 95% of pedophiles did not engage in any harassment, but just endured hard and lived a lifetime. This may be the true self written in their genes, but in order not to hurt others, they deeply suppressed the true self for a lifetime, and they all need to get a medal. For some reason, I am very touched by this passage. In contrast, the last scene of the film is a prominent counterexample to the above-mentioned short story. Although it was only 1 minute and 11 seconds in total, it gave me a huge shock the first time I watched it. I watched it with my mouth open. But the second time, I knew where the power of 1 minute and 11 seconds was. This was a death sentence without hesitation for a truly hypocritical person (whether to myself, others, or society).

Nymphomaniac: Vol. II quotes

  • Joe: Each time a word becomes prohibited, you remove a stone from the Democratic foundation. Society demonstrates its impotence in the face of a concrete problem by removing words from the language. And I say that society is as cowardly as the people in it, who in my opinion are also too stupid for democracy.

  • Joe: The human qualities can be expressed in one word: Hypocrisy. We elevate those who say "right" but mean "wrong" and mock those who say "wrong" but mean "right." By the way, I can assure you that women who claim that negros don't turn them on, they're lying.
