Spanish ghost director Almodovar asked before the filming of "Can love be described in advance? Can it be calculated? Can I have feelings with others?" "Tie Me, Tie Me" also tried to use reading to study the same Way, by hard work and strong will, try to build a love story. The way of studying in the movie is to bind the ropes to "Stockholm Love."
Stockholm Syndrome
On August 23, 1973, a bank robbery occurred in Stockholm, Sweden. Like most robberies, there were kidnappers, hostages, and police officers. confrontation between. The four hostages spent 130 hours held by the kidnappers, but fortunately the bank clerk who was held captive was rescued after 130 hours. It's just an ordinary robbery with a happy ending, but what happens after the robber is caught reminds people of "Stockholm".
After being rescued, the four bank employees felt pity for the robbers, but they sneered at the police who rescued them. They refused to charge the robbers in court, and a female bank clerk fell in love with one of the robbers, betrothed to him in prison.
Since then, the bizarre and peculiar psychology of hostages falling in love with robbers is called Stockholm Syndrome.
Conditions for falling in love with a robber After studying
the Stockholm hostage-taking incident with social science research, he found the "conditions for falling in love with a robber".
Anyone can develop Stockholm syndrome if they meet four preconditions.
First, when you actually feel that your life is threatened, it makes you feel that your life is in the hands of others.
Second, the thugs will give you a little favor, which is a more critical condition.
Third, he has control over the information you have access to and your thoughts that you cannot get any other information.
Fourth, make you feel like you have nowhere to go.
Building a Love
Almodóvar wanted to create a love story with Stockholm Syndrome.
The first thing to satisfy is a kidnapping incident that puts the heroine's life at risk.
The hero Rizzi is an orphan who has been transferred from the orphanage to the source of mental illness, often sneaking out and coming back on his own. Had a one-night stand with porn actress Maria while out. Mary took possession of his heart, and his thoughts and actions began to normalize. Until one day the judge finally ruled that he was a normal person and could return to society.
Almodovar paved the way for Rizzi's background, and his background in an orphanage and a mental hospital made him look more like a "desperate". When the outlaw knocked on the door, Maria knew at first glance that he was no good. Rizzi opened the door and slammed Maria with the head and shattered a tooth with his fist. Carrying a pocket knife with you is also sending a message: I can kill you at any time if I want to.
The second step is the crucial "flirting" phase of the love story, where Rizzi expresses concern for Maria's teeth while violently abusing her. This crushed tooth is at the heart of Maria's bounty, the tooth that lets us know that Maria was an addict. Around this tooth, Rizzi will take the heroine to the doctor. Ordinary painkillers have no effect on addicts, and Rizzi will also go to the black market to buy morphine for her pain relief.
The third step is to create a closed space and cut off all contact with the outside world. Here Almodovar set up the confinement room in Maria's house. Rizzi swapped the room where Maria was imprisoned with a traveling neighbor's, leaving the film crew empty at her house. She was also forced to call her home and say that it would take a long time for her to return after going out. Not only was the room closed, but the people and information she could contact were also closed.
The fourth step is to make Maria so desperate that she has nowhere to run. The name of the movie is "Tie Me Up, Tie Me Up", and tying up is definitely an excellent way to make people feel hopeless about "escape". Rizzi slept next to Maria at night, deliberately untied Maria, and hung the key of the room door on his waist. When Maria thought he was sleeping and had a chance to escape, she suddenly woke up and exposed her little conspiracy. Tell Maria with this clever psychological cue that you can't escape no matter what.
voice of love
Almodovar used the necessary conditions of Stockholm syndrome to set up a stage for Ricky and Maria to love, "Can you have feelings with others?"
From a psychoanalytic point of view, Stockholm syndrome and the newborn's Babies develop an emotional attachment to the closest adult because their life belongs to them. When their lives were threatened, their psychological defenses collapsed, and the hostages gradually entrusted their lives to the kidnappers. A little mercy from the kidnapper can turn a hostage's fear into gratitude, and then into adoration or love.
When Maria is addicted to drugs again, Rich goes to the drug dealer she has offended. At this time, Maria, who was tied up, hadn't been completely defeated, and she took advantage of the opportunity to go out to buy drugs and untied the rope with a lighter. Although the rope was untied, the closed prison space still could not be opened, and the collapsed Maria tied herself with the rope.
For Maria's drugs, Rich took the drugs back to the apartment and put them in front of Maria. Maria, who had just experienced despair, was completely touched by Richie's heroic actions. When she wiped Richie's body, her gratitude gradually deepened, so it developed that Almodovar wanted to Love created by hard work and strong will.
