Not too many times have been formally touched by this word.
The first time was in Yishu's "Hong Chen" story. Her story in that period was very legendary. In this story, there is a small island in a paradise called "Yi Lushen". I always think this is a beautiful translation method. Although it is a completely direct transliteration, it seems to be comparable to Feilengcui. Transform the beauty of English pronunciation into the beauty of Chinese character combinations, and use the form to replace the sound.
At this time, illusion means illusion.
Watching an old film Instinct tonight, it is regarded as a formal confrontation with the term. Today, it appears as a "dream".
A bit ashamed, I don't understand the difference between illusion and dream deeply. I always think illusion has a soft and romantic color, and dream is more connected with fighters like Dr. Jin, with the heroic "I have a dream".
The psychiatrist took a case. A doctor who studied chimpanzees in Africa disappeared for two years in the primeval jungle. Because of a violent killing of a hunter, he returned to the human society-prison. He has not spoken, so he has no way of knowing the killing at that time. The truth.
Interestingly, in the first interview, the doctor spoke to the doctor. The doctor tried to slowly guide the doctor back to the scene and discover the truth of the matter. The doctor began to remember, he hoped to tell more people what he wanted to express through the doctor's mouth. The doctor's utilitarianism has never been able to take him where the doctor hopes to take him.
In one conversation, the doctor angered the doctor. Under the threat of life, the doctor asked the doctor to answer on a paper what he was deprived of at this time, and let him go if the answer was correct. I guess it is freedom, the doctor really wrote freedom, wrong. The second time, the doctor wrote illusion and got the correct answer. We are surprised by this answer.
The story goes forward.
Chimpanzees in cages once fought for freedom. When it finally gave up, even when facing the open cage door and smelling the freedom of the opposite side, it just turned its head indifferently or sadly.
The doctor finally said that the killing was because he was chased by a hunter while he was living with the chimpanzee. In order to protect the chimpanzee, he attacked the hunter with a wooden stick. Seeing that the doctor can go to court and leave prison because of this. Just 25 minutes before leaving the prison, in order to prevent the prison guard from beating another prisoner, he beat the guard again.
The doctor finally returned to the silent state. The doctor came to say goodbye to him on the last day. On the high steps next to the indoor basketball court, the doctor held the window with his hands and looked motionless outside the window. The doctor finally understood the meaning of the doctor's remarks, told the silent doctor and shed tears before leaving sadly.
At this moment, the doctor turned his head slightly, and slid out a pen he got from the doctor from his sleeve. He once used this pen to open the prison of a chimpanzee. Then, he began to use this pen to gently but forcefully dig the screw plate that fixed the iron baffle of the window.
We couldn't help but think of Shawshank redemption and Prison Break at the same time. Needless to say, the doctor finally returned to the jungle.
In this film, I saw the doctor's instinctive reaction to protect his family (chimpanzee) and friends (companion in prison) again and again. It was an explanation of the title, but what I wanted to say was understanding, trust, acceptance, and freedom. Sometimes they look like a dream, or at a certain time it can only be a dream, or even an illusion. For many people, it is not easy to keep this kind of dream, like the old cloth in Shawshank's redemption; but there are still some people who keep trying to make this kind of illusion a reality, like Andy, until the life is taken away. Deprived of dreams.
The doctor finally left a letter to the doctor, saying: You are right, freedom is not just a dream, it has always been there, outside the fence, we must fight for it ourselves.
In the end, the man who showered freely with his hands open in the heavy rain, smiled and breathed free air was a doctor. (Like Andy who was free in Shawshank redemption)
Finally, the doctor's daughter forgave her father, the doctor returned to the jungle, and the doctor finally understood what was more important in life.
In the end, I have completely lost the difference between illusion and dream. They seem to be universal. But what matters to me is to arrange my time so that my illusion no longer looks like a fantasy. Although I need more than a simple pen.
PS: The appearance of Anthony Hopkins is really a guarantee of the quality of the film.
