"The Hangover"-Losing or Recovering Oneself

I believe this is a film that can arouse countless memories of men and arouse infinite contempt by women. Which man has never had a time when he is completely gaffey after drinking a piece of it, and which woman has never had a time when he has been waiting for a stinky man who is so drunk and unconscious in the world? As a man, I have to be honest about my previous hangover experience, just like when I was a kid, I opened the cigarette and stuffed the tobacco into my pocket to make myself full of masculinity. At about this time last year, I was invited to drink by the only high school friend L who was also in Beijing for a drink. The reason was rather sad. He wanted to announce his decision to leave Beijing forever. At this farewell party, we first drank white in the restaurant, and then went to the KTV to drink beer and foreigners (don’t ask me how much I drank, if I knew it would not be the virtue of drinking). The only memory I have is that L and I each picked up a large glass of vodka and drank it in tears. Then, when I opened my eyes again, I was shocked by L, who was half naked next to me. It’s said that during the period when I was in the clip, L and I did a lot of things that made people sigh of brotherhood, but embarrassing (don’t ask me what it was, I don’t believe it anyway." It is said", can you believe it?). But the most dumbfounding thing is that within two months, L and I were sitting in his rental room in Beijing for a drink. The hangover that night was completely blinded by love to drink. concentrated.
I have to admit, I love to drink. This is not like what a group of friends said when they boasted about each other. It is really because they are a writer that they have to have the three-hundredness of the poem of fighting wine, but the kind of blurring of the superego and even the ego when the spirit of wine is raised. Reply to a state of self. Just like between me and L, our principle of getting along seems to be to always scold each other. If anyone wants to express a little affection, they will definitely be babbled like a maiden by Chromium. However, after the third round of drinking, we were all moved. The brotherhood of more than ten years was completely aroused, and we were able to express our feelings like a lady to our heart's content.
I never think that I am trying to find reasons for men who are addicted to alcohol. I even suggest that all female compatriots should get a man drunk before marrying him. You have to take a good look at what you want to promise in the future. What is in that person's bones? Getting drunk is definitely not a good thing, but getting drunk in a sense is a kind of courage, a courage to face the self-recovery of the self, a courage to expose the truth to others and society.
It's just that the courage shown by the buddies in "The Hangover" at that bachelor party was a bit too much. In this hangover experience, as Phil, Sid, and Alan were searching for Doug, they looked back on the night of amnesia and suddenly discovered a self they didn't know. Alan should be the one who found the least surprise in this process, because he himself is a foolish person who is more daring to express the self and makes people feel a little nervous. Of course, it should be him who mistakenly dropped the aphrodisiac into the buddy's wine, stimulated everyone's adrenal glands, and completely released the long-closed self in his heart. Phil is a typical completely socialized person. He uses the superego constituted by social moral disciplines and social prohibitions to completely control himself, and he uses the self to balance or even block the most primitive of the id. Impulse and desire. So even though the buddies have repeatedly accused Phil's fiancée, he has always deceived himself with the illusion of a good man, self-anaesthetizing to assume a loyal role-even though his fiancée has betrayed him, he has to "It would be better for the people of the world to bear me than me to bear the people of the world" generally maintains the image of the superego that occupies the highest point of morality. Until the night of the hangover, Phil held a wedding with a prostitute and gave the prostitute the ring he had inherited from his ancestors that he intended to give to his fiancé. Phil finally woke up from the superego dream and got rid of him. I tried my best to protect the illusion of morality, restored my true colors, and broke up with my fiancee.
The night of the hangover seemed to be a dream, a dream that existed completely in the subconscious mind. A few of them held a wedding together for Phil, stole a tiger from boxing champion Tyson’s family together, stole a police car together, kidnapped a gang boss together... these things are so exaggerated that they are not true. After they are sober, they can't imagine when they return to their real self. Here, it is difficult for you to distinguish between the self during the hangover and the self during the normal state which is closer to the most true self-image. The expressions of the two forms of self-reflection form a relationship that mirrors each other, and can play a role in mutual motivation. . Just like Doug had experienced the madness that night, making him more sure of his love for his fiancée. I have a married boyfriend. He has to find a young lady almost at least once a month. One reason he gives everyone is that he will be guilty when he comes back to his wife again. Sense will also allow him (through comparison) to better understand how much love he has for his wife. Of course we will severely criticize my buddy on the moral level. He has to pretend to be an individual when he calls him for beasts and animals, but his incident of looking for a lady is like a hangover, releasing the id through anesthesia of the superego and the ego. , And then reflect on and strengthen the superego and ego through the id.
"The Hangover" itself may actually be just a ridiculous comedy, and it may be really nonsense to explain it with a set of psychoanalytic things. However, just like the various self-deprecations of men when they recall (be told by others) what happened after their hangover, post-fear and even fear will accompany them. As described in many movies or TV shows, when a man wakes up and finds himself lying on a bed with a woman, the first words the men say will be a little panic or even horrified and ask: "What did I do yesterday? !" When a person suddenly discovers that he has been acting on his subconscious self for a period of time, he will indeed be astonished. Of course, he needs some introspection and reflection. After all, the superego that is basically controlled by the social consciousness and the id controlled by the desire body may not be the real you.
