Brain Hole Movie Criticism-Mr. Hayes Going Crazy

Easter 2022-01-10 08:01:29

In fact, this skyscraper is a person. His name is Highrise. Just call him Hayes. And everyone in the movie symbolizes a part of Hayes' heart, a certain plot, a certain personality, a certain tendency, and so on. Therefore, this movie uses symbolism to describe and express an experience that Hayes finally went mad. At the beginning of the movie, Hayes' head was quite normal, which meant that the building was running well, and nothing was wrong. The high-floor residents have superb consciousness, similar to the "superstructure". They are involved in spending money, aesthetics, creation, and ideals as a whole, especially the architect, who is Freud. The so-called "superego" is the most "highest" idea in Haywise's heart: happiness. Residents with lower floors are more basic, more concerned about mundane matters, more daily, and closer to life. There are several important symbolic roles. Wilder can be said to be the most dominant personality in Haywise's psychological composition. It is energetic, wild, simple-minded, and full of intuition. He is in a state of "expansion", and has been pursuing that charming wild woman from the beginning of the movie; and this movie is almost a movie about him. The charismatic wild woman is the cohesion of Hayes' projection of feminine charm, and the enchanting incarnation of his Anima (Hawys is a man). Wilder has a pregnant wife. It is Hayes' stereotype of the existence of women in reality. He is dull and boring. He has lost his charm. He is trying to escape. Dou Sen, who should have accepted the ideal personality, but he just didn't want to accept it. Because Wilder has resistance to Dou Sen, or Wilder insists that he is on the right path, appreciates Dou Sen but disagrees. What are the differences between Dousen and Wilder? Dou Sen accepted the anima in the man's heart, but Wilder did not accept his anima. But no matter whether people accept it or not, the anima will always behave, so the wilder's anima appears as the image of that charming wild woman, a dark way, a dangerous state, and a strong attraction to it. Pursue fanatically, and this also indicates that he will never reach it, because the starting point for the birth of this image is the rejection of it. Dou Sen is not the case. An Ran acknowledges the power of women, and calmly uses the power of the anima in his heart. It is gentle, compliant, shy, meticulous, compassionate, and cooperative. These are all Wilder's efforts to line up, because he thinks so. Males that are detrimental to themselves. The story unfolded like this. The building was originally good, but the upper floors took up too many resources. (Hawys indulged himself, his body became ill, he was suffering from physical pain, and the whole person fell into a depressed mental state, unable to stop thinking about it, Chen The bad things of sesame and rotten corn are all out. People are basically like this, thinking about danger in times of peace; but once they reflect on themselves, they will always be more depressed), the main character Wilder on behalf of Hayes said: It is all to blame for the upper class, cranky thinking, vain, we Can't you live more naturally? But other personality factors (neighbors, some small characters) are clear as a bystander: you are actually indulging wildness. Dou Sen, as a relatively ideal and potential personality obtained by Hayes after receiving cultural education, he was also full of vitality at the beginning. He was curious about every corner of the building and wanted to contact and understand all the neighbors. He is open and full of temptations. The architect with the highest ideals also summoned him personally, and they could communicate with each other through rational language. However, some personalities of the upper class were not so sympathetic to him, and they sneered at the antique reception. No way, Dou Sen is still young, with little qualifications, and little-known. How can he win the trust of his consciously superior "rational"? On the other hand, Dou Sen also regards Wilder’s behavior and motives more objectively, but Dou Sen has too many worries. To deal with extreme events, it is generally better to wait and see the changes, (the only disadvantage of being cautious). Dou Sen "exposed" only once, and then used a sinister and vicious "joke" to kill his colleagues and neighbors who made fun of others. How to explain this episode? The solution I can think of is: When a person's sense of humor (colleagues and neighbors who love jokes) disappears, it means that he is already sick. In the conflict with the upper echelon, Wilder began to run wild, endlessly. Chasing that wild woman can't get a hand. When people are frustrated, "degeneration" often occurs, so Wilder takes a group of children out in the wild and makes unreasonable disturbances in the upper turf. Other personalities in the lower class are also under his instigation and leadership, becoming more and more unreasonable and arrogant; the upper class is gradually getting more and more annoyed. The steward and grandfather of the noble in the upper class, (Freud’s "self", the mediator of the "superego" and the "self", the executive role in dealing with conflicts and conflicts), gave Wilder a severe lesson and gave him Hit half-dead, (and throw Hayes out of his head). Dou Sen showed the lowest side of "wisdom", that is, the weak side. He was at a loss for what to do in various internal conflicts and caused anxiety. He chose to stay outside and tried to find a new balance in his isolation. In the chaotic inner building of Hayes, he became like a self-deception monster. Those upper-level guys who have already attacked found Dou Sen, wanting him to develop his personality as one of Waiheis, a personality that has the potential to develop and grow, a personality that integrates multiple energies, and uses the intelligence of "observation" and "judgment", so as to tame the wild. On behalf of Wilder, but failed to negotiate. Because Dou Sen doesn’t want to “get rid of” anything. A healthy personality will not treat the psychology through extreme means of “getting off” and “erasing”. What he hopes to do is - exactly what Jung sees. The only way to be healthy and look at self-growth is integration. Dousen hopes that everyone will be in peace. So the cold, paranoid, and narrow-minded, that is, the upper-level rationality that is not close to human feelings, I feel that it is simply to be eliminated. But at the scene of the murder, the highest ideal-the architect appeared, pardoned Dou Sen. Why does the architect agree with Dou Sen and prefer him to stay? Because the architect’s goal is "happiness", and although he also reveals the highest rationality, but he understands it rationally (he is completely rational and not close to human relationships; he can only deduce human relationships through definitions and concepts), Dou Sen is a promising personality, the only personality that can bear the "I" of Whitehies. At this time, Dou Sen's position has also been clearly positioned: connecting and integrating rationality and sensibility. Before that, Wilder struggled to regain his vitality, crawling back from the edge of death. His reaction is almost everyone's natural reaction: reflection. But he does not represent a wise personality, so the reflection methods he can think of are more superficial, "I want to make a documentary": Observation is the first step in reflection, collecting information. When he walked back to Hayes’ head, he directly ran into the architect of the highest ideal. He instinctively attributed all the confusion to the ideal practice of the architect; and the architect slyly avoided; Wilder did not catch the handle. , And left without noticing it. But even if he catches it, there is nothing to do, because the wilder who represents the indulgence of wildness, there is no possibility of dialogue with reason. The inferiority of personality). At this time, the rare police came, and the architect stopped him directly. This episode is also worthy of fun. It is as if Wyhayes said to a friend who cared about and asked around him: It’s okay, I’m fine. , I'm not sick. Wilder found the wild woman he dreamed of, but did he get the pleasure he expected? It doesn't look like it. Wilder continued to move up, and finally found the architect. The two people had no real communication and were anxious, so the architect died of his sincere contempt for instincts. And wilder, since one personality killed another, then what awaits it is also collapse or destruction. Who killed wilder? Women group. In the process of restless resistance from the lower class, when the mental imbalance of Whitehies did not show serious symptoms, the upper class held a small meeting, and several aggressive and arrogant men agreed to use pleasure and violence to bring the lower class uniform. Just after they broke up, a close-up shot of the upper-class women smoking quietly appeared. It means that Anima of Waihis sensed the danger of this mental structure and decided to take over Waihis's head. After that, the women in the building settled down in the dirt and chaos, and maintained their daily lives. In the last part of the film, almost all women gathered on the top floor. Just when they started killing the wilder who was completely out of control, there was no need for verbal communication between them, the gloomy atmosphere. Jung said: When a person completely falls into the collective subconscious, his personality will be swallowed in the primitive abyss, that is, complete collapse and madness. Anima represents motherhood, symbolizes the primitive power of the earth, and is opposed to the collective subconscious realm of human personality. The highest ideals and the reckless "I" are dead; the collective subconscious of the women is in charge of the collective subconscious; Dou Sen, this personality that could have put the life of Whitehies on the right track of health and vitality, has also fallen into a semi-mad state. , Wandering in the ruins of the soul, recording the experiences and feelings, settled on this powerful balance point, and comforted oneself. === The two towers of Jung "The tower in 1923, which broke ground two months after Jung's mother died. Therefore, it basically embodies the psychological meaning of nostalgia and mourning. Rong. Ge said: "For me, it represents a kind of maternal warmth." "By 1927, Jung felt that the original tower could no longer express everything needed, so he built another tower. Appendices, Jung’s spirit began to extend from the maternal base formed by the tower in 1923. The male power gradually increased. It represented an effort to merge those seemingly incompatible opposites." "A few more years have passed. , I’m not satisfied with it anymore. I think the architectural style is still too primitive. So in 1931, I expanded the tower-shaped annex to become a real tower. In this tower, I need to have a shared room. A room that I use alone." "In 1935, I had a desire for a closed place in my heart. I wanted a larger space, a space that faces the sky and is completely open to nature. So 4 years later, I A courtyard was added, and a pavilion was built near the lake. They form the fourth part of the tower." "After my wife died in 1955, I had the idea of ​​becoming myself. With wave In terms of the language of this house in Lingen, I suddenly realized that the low, covered, happy little part in the middle of the house is myself! I can no longer hide myself in the'maternal' and'spiritual' Sexual' in the tower. So, I immediately added a top layer to the tower to highlight my personality, or my personality. If it were before, I would not be able to do that, because maybe I Think of it as an arrogant self-expression. Now, it means the extension of self or consciousness that I have accumulated when I am old. This incidentally comes with the improvement of this building." === If...
