The most terrifying thing is the distortion of the mind

After watching the film "Time" by the well-known Korean director Kim Ki-duk, the biggest feeling is that the most terrifying thing in human nature is the distortion of the mind.

The movie tells a story about plastic surgery and love. In the vast sea of ​​people, the heroine is afraid of the change of time, and is very sensitive to even a small behavior of her boyfriend. Even if she looks at the waitress in the cafe a few times, she will be jealous , like a typical story: "The girl asked her boyfriend: 'Do you love me?', the boyfriend replied after a little hesitation and said, are you hesitating, I know you don't love me. But if the man answers immediately, The girl will say again: You say you love me without even thinking about it, you have no sincerity at all, you must be lying to me...". In short, it is the kind that people are afraid of and avoid. When the heroine is having sex with the hero, the woman will repeatedly say, imagine me as that so-and-so. After finishing the work, the man was sleeping, and the woman sat on the edge of the bed, thinking about it more and more, and slapped her sleeping boyfriend on the head.

Freud's favorite student, psychologist Jung, said: "Character determines fate". The heroine's neuroticism and extreme personality made her step into the abyss. She thought of a way to test her boyfriend and change the status quo. Go to the clinic for plastic surgery, then change residence, phone, etc., and suddenly disappear in front of her boyfriend as if the world evaporated. According to the requirements of cosmetic surgery, it will take half a year to recover. The actor cannot accept the reality that his girlfriend has disappeared, and waits silently for half a year, believing that his girlfriend will come back one day. In fact, her girlfriend has always been by her side, and from time to time, she tries to disturb the relationship between the male protagonist and other women. From time to time, the movie camera shoots the male protagonist from a voyeuristic angle through several obstacles, which reminds me of the horror movies I have seen before.

Half a year has passed, the hero is still lonely, the heroine approached him with a smug smile, and arranged to meet at the sculpture park where they had a happy time before. The protagonist couldn't help kissing her, but it also made her angry, and he waved his hand again: He likes me now, doesn't it mean forgetting the past! The heroine is tormented by her inner conflicting thoughts. As she gradually deepens into the life of the hero, the heroine discovers that she is so important in his heart, and she retains the bits and pieces of her life. The heroine begins to yearn to return to the man's side, but is it only a face that has changed? The truth is getting closer and closer, and finally the male protagonist roared very angrily after knowing the truth. He felt like a toy being played with, and then he found a cosmetic doctor and accused him of being inappropriate in this industry. Is it just for the money? It's not what you want. In fact, before operating on the heroine, the doctor also tried to use the horror video of plastic surgery to deter her, and advised her that her original face could not be restored, but the heroine still insisted.

The male protagonist may also have plastic surgery out of revenge, and then disappear from the female protagonist overnight, but he also disturbs him from time to time in secret. The heroine strongly wanted to return to the hero, so she kept guessing every possible face around her, almost going crazy. One day, she found a possible man chasing after him. The man was running in front of him. Suddenly, an accident happened. The man was hit and killed by a truck. The heroine ran forward and looked at the unfamiliar face under the wheel, at a loss. Wasn't such a tragedy caused by her alone?

With the development of modern society, there may also be examples of heroines around us. Fortunately, most people are still normal. Ouchiko (psychoanalyst) believes that the heroine has such a distorted mentality, which can be analyzed as paranoia, a kind of morbid psychology. This kind of person may have been severely affected emotionally or in life. Trauma, and the scars have been unable to heal, leaving a lot of psychological problems. Her performance is to protect herself, and she does not want to be hurt at all times. In addition, the male protagonist may have previous emotional connections that make her uneasy, or she is insecure as a person. , making the heroine aggravated. It's a pity that the hero's excessive jealousy towards the heroine in the title is just a complaint of incomprehension. I think if she had a good friend or lover who could realize the problem and give guidance and help at the beginning, the tragedy could have been avoided.
