-The movie "Because I Said So" "God couldn't be everywhere so that is why he invented
mothers."
This is the movie "Because I Said So" In the classic line of the mother Daphne, as a single mother raised three daughters alone, the eldest daughter Maggie is smart and capable, and is a well-known psychotherapist; the second daughter is beautiful and sexy, a typical heartthrob; the younger daughter is smart and cute , Good at making all kinds of desserts and delicacies.
Daphne has been worrying about her youngest daughter's marriage for a long time, interfering in control for a long time, secretly making arrangements for online friends. The other party is an architect, but the youngest daughter has her own favorite, but the mother doesn't like it. So there was an absurd scene where the youngest daughter was dating two people at the same time, because the youngest daughter had split into two people, one is the "substitute mother" wearing a polka-dot skirt that her mother likes to date the architect, and the other is herself.
The mother has no partner and no sex life all year round. When I mistakenly entered an adult website, my mother was terrified, and her mother was afraid of sex. The father is absent in the whole family, and the four people have a very close relationship. They go shopping together and do massages. Even when the daughter has sex with each other, the four people are online at the same time. The mother can enter her daughter's apartment at any time and move her daughter's furniture. The daughter talked about everything. As a psychotherapist, the eldest daughter violated the principle of confidentiality to talk about her clients. This is a taboo. But the four of them are basically fit, and the eldest daughter feels nothing wrong.
The mother's excessive intrusion into her daughter seriously caused her daughter's distress. The eldest daughter went to see her psychiatrist because of her mother. The youngest daughter is basically dating and making love on behalf of her mother. When the mother asked her little daughter about her feelings of pleasure, the little daughter described vividly that the mother-daughter interaction was full of strong sexual connotations.
Although I don't want to admit that the relationship between people is full of sex, whether it is the opposite sex of the Oedipus plot or the same sex of mother and daughter, the symbolic sex is performed every day. Because of the existence of the superego, the feeling of sex is suppressed, and it is suppressed to the deepest part of the subconscious.
Children in each family naturally want to have sex with their opposite-sex parents. If the husband and wife are close, the children will find that this wish is impossible to achieve, and they will be latent after about 6 years old, and they will turn their attention to the outside world during adolescence. If the parental relationship is not close or even one of them is absent, the child will smoothly replace the absent one and stay with the incumbent parents. On the one hand, children conform to instinct, and on the other hand, this kind of symbolic sex is actually taught by the reigning parents. But this kind of taboo can also cause conflicts in the subconscious. The child will panic and feel powerless. This kind of conflict will cause anxiety in the relationship. This feeling is too uncomfortable. People in the relationship will activate defense mechanisms such as action to escape this anxiety. Anxiety is actually a secondary emotion. The core emotion is the panic about incest. Only when the core emotion is revealed can anxiety disappear.
Going back to the movie, from the perspective of the screenwriter, the mother’s last transformation was abrupt. From the perspective of compulsive repetition, the opportunity for this transformation was too weak. It is impossible for the ephemera to shake the tree. This is why after watching it, I felt that it did not shake the soul. . The screenwriter is not very good at grasping the depths of human nature, and there is a laugh, and it is not a bad idea to relax as a comedy.
