Not surprisingly, the whole film does not give a clear "treatment of anorexia" method-because there is no such method. People’s cognitive ability of this disease is still at the level of simply and crudely defining it as a "behavioral problem" (but not at all)
And then it didn’t tell us whether the heroine finally recovered health (the heroine just dreamed that she “returned to health”, it’s ironic. Obviously the producer also understands that it can’t be too optimistic)
The scene finally stays at the scene where the heroine decides to return to the nursing home for treatment, leaving suspense on the ending
The idea that the producer wants to convey is of course that the heroine will get better in the end
But art comes from life, but it is higher than life.
The reality is that just "deciding to get better" is already a very difficult thing for patients, but this is just the beginning-the real battle is behind.
Anorexia is never a simple "behavioral problem", nor a complex "mental problem", but a problem in which the patient's relationship with the world is distorted.
What can treat anorexia, is it hospitalized intubation, is it forced feeding, is it psychotherapy, is it psychoanalysis, is it excavating and healing family trauma, is it behavior therapy?
Actually neither
Those who are sick seem to be anorexia patients, in fact, what is really dying is the sick society
But can a sick society be treated immediately?
How to help patients eliminate maladaptation (and this is actually not a problem of the patient itself, but a social problem, which almost everyone has a misunderstanding) and living in harmony with the diseased society may be the solution to the problem The essential.
It is not only the anorexic patients who are desperate, but also the people who have encountered various injustices and attacks in the society. If it is not the power of real redemption, what can save the scarred souls of mankind from the dilemma of extreme despair?
