Miss G's Daydream

Kaelyn 2022-04-19 09:03:14

Miss G is a diving teacher at a girls' school. She often gives passionate speeches to children. She said, "The most important thing in life is to have desires. With desires, nothing is impossible... Children, we are angels, we are eagles...break the shackles of your obedience! Nothing but air can stop you...you are in the middle of the world, and there are no more rules and regulations...I love to travel , it has grown in the bones..." The students were all fascinated by it, those shouts about desire, the encouragement of embracing freedom and courage, about the adventure of traveling alone, she even dared to invite the female students to swim naked in the middle of the night . With so much tantalizing passion focused on a woman as charming as Eva Green, the audience outside the show was fascinated and killed every minute without exception. All this is endowed with her is also what we long to have and experience in our hearts, and it is easy to fall in love with that confident, arrogant and unique woman. Di, her best schoolgirl, has not escaped the fate of loving her.

The change of painting style started from the scene when Miss G went to the street to buy bread. Before Miss G walked into the bakery, she muttered all the way - "Four doughnuts, three jam pies, and one more piece of bread", it turns out that Miss G has a social fear! From this, I understand that everything she has preached is just a dream, a dream that Miss G weaved for herself. She didn't have a boyfriend, she didn't travel, she never even left the school where she grew up and worked. She has desires, but her desires can only be fulfilled in a daydream. Her rebelliousness, her rebelliousness, her dreams can only find a home in words. She is a woman and a child wearing a mask. This mask is very tempting, but it is also the source of her pain. She hides in her daydreams, unable to extricate herself, and even believes her own daydreams.

New student Fiamma rips off Miss G's mask. Fiamma has traveled a lot and read a lot. She is cold, arrogant, fearless and maverick. Everything about Fiamma deeply attracted Miss G. In Miss G's eyes, everything about Fiamma was like candy left by Miss G in the real world. Miss G fell in love with Fiamma uncontrollably, but she didn't love Fiamma, she loved those candies that she longed for but couldn't reach. Fiamma at the moment is like an extension of Miss G's self. Miss G really wants to be like Fiamma, who has real travel, real courage, and desires that can be satisfied. The love that Miss G wants is a fusion of mother and baby love, what is yours is mine, what is mine is what is yours, the boundary between human and me disappears, Miss G wants to possess Fiamma and everything she has, to help herself find a true sense of existence . Fiamma rejects Miss G's confession and exposes her daydreams. If it cannot be possessed, it must be destroyed. Fiamma's existence is a constant reminder of Miss G, her hypocrisy, her pain, the person she longed to be but couldn't be. Fiamma's death became a tragic necessity.

Miss G's body is a mature woman's body, beautiful and attractive, but her mind is still at the stage of a child, she can't distinguish between the outer real world and the inner fantasy world. There are too many unfulfilled longings within her, and every longing is a black hole, and she has to fill these black holes with kneaded imagination, or she will die. Without these fantasies, she is a shriveled corpse, without vitality, without feeling her own existence. Miss G is hateful, but she can't hate her. To a certain extent, many ordinary people are just like her. They have many dreams, many desires, longing for poetry and distance, but for various reasons, they are unable to realize them. Either because of lack of courage, or because of fear of failure, or because of fear of the unknown. Miss G was wrapped in pain. Even when she entered a bakery, she had to practice shopping conversations with the clerk all the way. She tried her best to avoid unfamiliar scenes and characters. The movie does not explain why Miss G develops social fear, but isn't such a similar fear, anxiety and worry a common thing in life? Maybe just to a different degree.

When we decide that we cannot do what we desire, two things tend to happen. One is like Miss G, which cannot be realized in reality, so it can be realized in fantasy. Another situation is to look for various realistic reasons, so-called excuses to comfort myself - I don't do that thing, there are very reasonable reasons.

For example, we want to travel, but always feel that there is no vacation, no spare money, and no one to take care of the children. Holiday? As long as you think about it, there will always be a squeeze, and some people even rely on continuous duty to save vacation. money? The Internet will tell you countless kinds of the most affordable accommodation and transportation strategies, so the so-called poor traveler was born. child? The most awesome mother around me, went to Tibet alone with her 4-year-old baby.

That is to say, there are always ways to overcome the difficulties of reality, as long as you will. The most difficult thing to overcome is the psychological difficulty, the denial of self, the obsession with believing that one is incapable of doing it.

In the earliest stage of life, we all go through a period when our bodily functions are not yet fully developed, and we have to completely rely on our mother’s care and satisfaction for food, drink and lasa. We don’t speak, only a look, a roar, and a kick, and the mother knows us. When we are hungry, the breast comes. In our subjective world, we think that we have magically created this breast. This is a stage of having almighty feeling, which lays the groundwork for the confidence to explore the world in the future.

As our physical development progresses, mother gradually withdraws from this omnipotent game of satisfying us, and slowly withdraws as we can bear. We need to learn to wait and learn to face the mother's failure to satisfy our desires immediately. frustration. If this process is done right, we will have the confidence in the future that I dare to create a dream, and I also believe that I can make it happen. The so-called people who dare to think and act are those who have this sense of security. Even if I fail to do this, I will not fall into the dark and die, and I will not lose the value of my existence, because there is a potential image of a mother behind it. supporting yourself. Then at this time they don't need to fear possible failure, worry about the eyes of others, all they need to face is how to creatively realize that idea. Such self-confidence, ambition, and courage need to have been nourished by a proper nurturing environment in the early years.

But as ordinary people, where can such a perfect nurturing environment come from, there is always such a desire to stay above our thinking. Francesca in "Last Dreams of the Covered Bridge", a housewife, is also a middle-aged man in literature and art. Her husband, the farmer, is a rough man who has served in the army. He has a child and a daughter. When a handsome photographer who was more artistic, wild and delicate than her appeared in front of her and invited her to elope, she hesitated, tangled and panicked. She didn't want to be drowning in endless chores, she packed her bags and got everything ready. In the end, however, she told the photographer that she could not leave, "I want to keep this love, I want to love you like this all my life, but if we go, we will lose it." For Francesca, she was afraid, she was afraid that over time, the relationship between her and Robert would no longer be strong and real. She was afraid that once she spread out in front of the flowing reality, the face of love would fade away, and she could not bear the pain of the passing of love. She would rather love only exist in the first 4 days, without the baptism of time and trivialities, the love that came to an abrupt end became a bright symbol, she carefully put it into the bottle, put it away and never touched it again. She knew that she didn't give up her lover because she loved her children and her husband. She didn't give herself a moral high ground. She knew that she was just afraid of losing. She found her love in another eclectic way. Although she did not elope with Robert, she was still brave.

In the face of desire, some people pursue it boldly, some people peep from afar, and some people touch it gently and then leave quietly. But first and foremost, it is not whether we have the courage to embrace desire, but whether we can honestly face the distance between ourselves and desire, and face the shortcomings of our own abilities calmly, then whether we pursue boldly or peep from afar, we will The touch is real. Accept the helplessness of reality, or follow the splendor of ideals, instead of letting yourself rot in nihilistic fantasy. When we can face our truest selves, understand ourselves patiently, and see clearly our journey along the way, we may make up for the shortcomings of our sense of security, break the shackles of self-function, and open the floodgates of potential. , and the free and easy and brave woman in Miss G's mouth is not entirely a fantasy existence.
