This film is the most faithful film I have ever seen that shows the whole process of the hunger strike. Others such as Wang Jing's "Slimming Down" and Andy Lau and Zheng Xiuwen's "Slimming Men and Women" are all fakes compared to them. It is said that the actor Michael Fassbender suffered a lot to make this film - I think the level of film technology is not what it used to be, far from the era of "The Mechanic", even "Benjamin Button With the superb human calculus technology that can even be filmed, do you have to let the actors lose weight maliciously? Helplessly small cost. The film starts from the hunger strike of the male protagonist, Northern Ireland Republican Bobby Sands, until his death on a hunger strike for 66 days.
During the hunger strike, the changes in the protagonist's body were much more complicated than I imagined.
The hunger strike in my impression is still very "main theme", just like the heroic revolutionaries in our traditional film and television dramas go on hunger strike in prison - this behavior, how to say it? It's like the balloons slowly deflate, the batteries slowly discharge, the ribs gradually clear, the muscles gradually shrink, the cheeks gradually sink, the eye circles gradually darken, then the movements become sluggish, the pupils start to dilate, the speech starts to stutter, and the death. It is a purely energy-consuming process.
In fact, this performance can not stand any scrutiny, too dramatic. In our revolutionary films, the hunger strikers were filmed just to show their courage to fight, and they were not demanding of material things. The British were not, they showed all the physiological reactions during the hunger strike in great detail.
The first thing that happens after a hunger strike is muscle atrophy. The originally toned muscles have become very loose, and the skin has lost its energy to resist gravity, and has developed downwards. A human body that lacks muscle control, like a fur coat on a hanger, produces a slouchy drape. Fortunately, the protagonist is male. If it is female, the breasts may become like a grandma who has breastfeeding experience for many years. Wearing a corset or a bra can deceive passers-by A and B, but you can't deceive yourself and your own.
The outside is followed by the inside, and the organs begin to fail. At this time, the face of the person will change. The first is white, because the atria become smaller, the blood flow decreases, the flow rate slows down, and the blood does not reach every capillary. Then there is ash, because the luster of human skin is provided by vitamins, without it, it is inevitable to be disheartened. Furthermore, it is yellow, because the large amount of bile secreted by the body to digest food will not stop working because people don't eat, and as a result, it gets stuck in the body, causing the skin to turn yellow. Green at the end - because the bile is concentrated. By the way, for women, hunger strikes can also cause uterine atrophy.
Then it comes to the key, that is the stomach. As the main organ for digesting food, what happens when it gets no food? The human body digests food mainly through gastric acid and gastrointestinal peristalsis. Peristalsis is okay, but the big deal is pain, but gastric acid is terrible, because if you don’t eat, gastric acid will still be secreted as usual. Stomach acid is really "acid". If we use PH value to represent the pH value of a certain liquid, and 7 is acid-base neutralization, then the daily acidity of gastric acid is 3.5. If you do not eat for a long time to dilute gastric acid, the acidity of gastric acid will decrease. to 2 or less. That's why some women who go on a diet and fast to lose weight end up with a tragic end to stomach bleeding, a gastric perforation - a stomach burnt through by stomach acid. In the film, the male protagonist's esophagus, digestive tract, and intestines were severely damaged by gastric acid, resulting in vomiting acid water, vomiting blood, and blood in the stool. In addition to the direct effect, there is also an indirect effect, that is, our original acid-base balance body will become acidic, the skin will be prematurely dull and aging, and there will also be stunted growth, loss of appetite, and difficulty concentrating. , diabetes, nervous system diseases and cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.
Finally, there is the sore. Due to the decreased resistance, the body will fester on a large scale. It is similar to the bedsores caused by patients who have been in bed for many years, which is extremely terrifying.
As for common sense symptoms such as dizziness, fainting, weakness, and decreased bone density, I won't say much.
After watching the movie, I couldn't help but think, wouldn't anyone really go on a hunger strike to lose weight?
So I typed the words “hunger to lose weight” on Baidu and found about 1,700,000 related pages.
I can't help but rejoice that there are so many women in our country who sincerely love SM!
Because according to rough statistics, at least 90% of the hunger strikers are women.
The so-called SM is sadomasochism, which generally refers to the consciousness and behavior related to sadism and masochism. Most of the SM tools sold on the market are "decent". Low-temperature candles for dripping wax, specially made soft ropes that do not hurt people, imitation leather whips that do not hurt people, soft handcuffs, etc. Compared with the abuse of oneself on hunger strikes, mustard seeds are compared with Xumi, not in the same amount. class.
Then I discovered a peculiar "hunger culture". Because people who are on hunger strike and lose weight know that it is impossible to persevere, they will post a "hunger post" and post their "hunger mood" on it every day, and fellow hunger strikers will follow Show support and make suggestions to strengthen the hunger striker's confidence.
But nonetheless, from the few posts I've looked through, hardly one has managed to stick to it. What's even more amazing is that they almost all have a patterned pattern, claiming that they don't feel hungry at all for the first three days, and even participate in high-volume sports activities to enhance the slimming effect. On the fourth or fifth day, there was obvious physical weakness, but I still encouraged myself on the Internet, saying that when I saw the scale, I felt full of endless motivation. Then came the instant collapse, the sudden overeating, and magically regained all the weight that had been lost overnight. Such a sudden effect made me have to suspect that what they said before, "I don't feel hungry at all" and "the stomach is already hungry", was just to show a gesture. What makes SM lovers even more excited is that these dieters often have a black-hearted boyfriend who "likes skinny beauties".
Facts have proved that it is almost impossible to lose weight on a hunger strike, because people can skip meals for three to five days, but not for a lifetime. The power of its rebound is even greater, because the fasting loses not only fat, but also many substances that the body must quickly replenish.
Therefore, fasting to lose weight has become a kind of performance art with distinctive SM characteristics.
