7, it was replaced with five stars. The key content of this movie is very cryptic, especially the brilliant Keanu Reeves's interpretation. It can be said that unless it is a person who understands psychological counseling, most people will see it in the cloud. Let me talk about Ellie's basic information first. At that time, the young Ally faced her missing father, cowardly mother, broken parental relationship, and when she grew up facing harm (the serious injury from the mother of the suicide girl), the lack of support, that is, all the close ones around her No one can understand and support her. The sister who seems to support it is just a kind of blind worship. So at that time Ellen collapsed. She was stronger and decided to conquer everyone in a way so that everyone could see her strength and power. This method is 100% control of the diet, which is the initial reason for the development of anorexia. But this seemingly powerful way, although it ushered in the same vision of others and gained the sense of strength she needed, but at the same time encountered incomprehension and even opposition from her close partners. And this kind of opposition further intensified Ellen's resistance, and then transformed from the original diet to a further and worsening anorexia, to further gain the sense of strength she needs. That is to say, the more you oppose, the more resistance I will be. Whether it is a coin-like arm or a calorie index, it is a manifestation of this negative resistance. I don’t know if you have noticed that the more she feels weak, the more likely she is to have this symptom. It's like a drug addict, knowing it's not good, but I still hope to get a short-lived sense of strength in this way. Moreover, the opposition of the surrounding people is precisely a kind of compensation for his sin. You see, I have suffered so many sins, and if I go to anorexia, it is probably what I should do. Therefore, the reason why the previous dieting treatment was not effective is probably because the doctor did not see the plot behind Ellen's anorexia. When Baker, a psychological counselor played by Keanu, met Ellen, his actions were very meaningful. Was the first family meeting really useless? Maybe not. The "shit-show" that Baker repeatedly talks about is to keep telling Ellen not to hope for your original family, but to keep increasing the number of "shit-show". The second song in the rain is more like a kind of "spiritual dance". It should have been expected that Allen can accept him, but there was an accident that was Luke's arrival, so the whole song in the rain changed its taste. Accepting yourself became accepting Luke's love, and Luke gave Ellen a new hope. So personal growth stagnated again. Until Ellen discovered Luke’s weakness and sensitivity-remember Luke’s words on the stairs "I'm finished. And you're leaving? ... I need you!", originally found one A source of strength, but soon hope is shattered again. So it's like a child who has been bullied outside, always going home to find her mother the first time. She is eager to get strength from a mother who needs support herself. It is obvious that she can't succeed. But at this time, the screenwriter’s god turned a lot of fire, so the climax of the plot came! In order to obtain the source of her own strength, the mother hopes to obtain the power of "maternal love" that is missing from her partner by obtaining the identity of the "mother" (just her own identity, regardless of Ellen's feelings). She hopes to emasculate Ellen's adult character through breastfeeding, and complete her promotion as a mother in the way that Ellen returns to his childhood. So Ellen collapsed completely. His mother's obvious cowardice and her inability to escape even her death caused Allen to collapse. When Ellen really touched the buttom, she really understood that she was not good enough, but as long as she didn’t die, there was hope for everything, and this hope came from swallowing a briquettes little by little every day. His efforts come from the courage to stand up again even if he is injured, and not to rely on the charity of others, rather than the giving of others. At this time, Ellen's power returned to her, that is, her spiritual growth was truly completed.
