The movie "Black Mirror: Bandersnatch" tells the story of a man's almighty fantasy, and presents the hero's inner world through irrational stories:
Since his mother died, Stephen has been depressed and has always had a fantasy to save his mother. He hates his father, he took the little rabbit and caused his mother's death, and he hates himself for not being able to protect his mother from disaster. This is the omnipotent narcissism of a 5-year-old child. Under normal circumstances, omnipotent narcissism will gradually approach reality and be more accepting of reality and limitations, but trauma often hinders this process. Stephen's growth stops there, hoping that everything can be repeated , change all of this so that you can save mom and save yourself. He used his mother's favorite books to connect with his mother, as if his mother was still alive. He tried to change his life by designing games, so that his mother could come back from the dead. He became more and more addicted and could not distinguish between reality and fantasy. He thought that something else was controlling him, but it was his own fantasy that was controlling him, that omnipotent fantasy. In the end he killed his father, which was the perfect solution for him, because by killing his father, the father would not take the bunny, and the mother would not die, and by killing the father, Stephen was also punished and was able to Get rid of the guilt that you can't protect your mom.
This is like the obsessive repetition, or inner working model, in psychoanalysis. We often repeat a purpose all our lives, we hardly know it exists, we even think we are changing something, the result is repeating one after another, there is often a trauma behind it, and we unconsciously try to change the story The ending, such as saving my mother in the movie, such as expecting my parents to become what I expected in anger, such as hoping to have a new life, just like Cui Jian's lyrics:
"I don't want to leave, I don't want to exist, I don't want to live too real, I want to leave, I want to exist, I want to die and start all over again."
