The psychologist in House of Games was deceived into a puzzle by a client from a scammer, and thus was deceived and deceived. Compared with the scams I have often heard of, the scams in this scammer are nothing short of pediatrics, such as finding a suitcase full of money on the street and setting up a casino to frame it. But the principle of liars is the same, liars are more psychologists than psychologists, they can skillfully use the shortcomings of human nature, such as our greed and vanity. But this film also makes people see that liars also use the advantages of human nature, such as our sympathy and love.
We often say that people are too suspicious nowadays. It is also unrealistic and even harmful if you leave the social environment and make people suddenly lose their doubts. At least I wouldn't be like this. I think we, as parents, educate our children not to talk to strangers and not to eat strangers. This is all necessary. It does not mean that we are not old-fashioned. This is to help them, because unfortunately, we do not live. In an era where there is no way to find anything. In fact, the corruption of people's hearts is simply unprecedented. There is a word in English called the benefit of the doubt, doubt has the benefit of doubt. For strange things, strangers, first have a suspicion mentality, this is the normal state. Trust needs to be established. Now that we have overturned the suspicion, you or your child "coincidentally" meets a stranger, and when they "coincidentally" have what you want, you might as well keep your eyes open. When I was walking out of a mountain in Shenzhen, I met a guy who asked if the post office was where I was coming from. I wonder, there are mountains and lakes inside, and the post office should go to the city. When the man saw me wondering, he said, "I’m asking for leave. I don’t know if there are cultural relics, can I send it from the post office..." I knew it was a liar, so I pointed to the mountain and said: Yes, the post office should be in front. I think the cultural relics should be able to be sent, so go ahead. The man's face sank and walked across the road without saying a word. I am not greedy for windfalls. How can you succeed in this scam?
Greed is the eternal curse of man. Money, fame, and opportunity will all become our traps. The steel wall is tens of thousands, and there is no desire to be strong. Don't believe in any money, reputation or opportunity that has fallen from the sky. The magic of the film is here. The psychologist is not greedy for money. In fact, she is always giving generously, but she is always deceived by her generosity. But she is greedy for opportunities: she wants to get the materials she researched too much, hoping to directly attack the scammer's crime methods and the scammer's interpersonal communication. This kind of professionalism has also become her own trap. With that being said, I think I will "go deep into the tiger's den" and study prostitutes, pimps, and drug dealers in the future.
Going further, don't get too involved in your customers' lives. Whether you are a lawyer, a psychiatrist, or a management professor at a university in Hunan, you must separate your work from the life of your client. Don't be confused and wander through the muddy water. I'm sure your life is complicated enough.
Liars are sometimes very good at using aggressive methods. For example, if you are poor, you are not important, and your work has no social impact. Psychologists could have not left their own office, and didn't want a liar to pretend to be a patient to excite him: "What use do you say that this principle is useful? It's useless." This is the pain point of psychologists. Psychologists thought about it, and felt that it was exactly what was going on: What's the use of just seeing a doctor here without changing the lives of others? But when she took this step, the liar had already succeeded in half. Because you have stretched your head into the big net he carefully laid.
These are some of my thoughts while watching the film. After all, this film is not a fraud prevention guide, nor is it a window exhibition about the sinister nature of humanity, but a thriller. Psychologists thought she was studying a liar and his scams at close range, and how did she know that when the liar was taking her to deceive, it was a game in the middle, a scam in a scam. It was the psychologist with a doctorate who really wanted to lie, and the liar finally succeeded. The last psychologist must use violent means to break it on its own. This is a mockery from beginning to end. What could be more ridiculous than a psychologist using a pistol to deal with a liar?
In the film, the psychologist fell in love with a liar and was deceived. However, I found that a film mainly about cheating money and sex has no sex scenes of shirtless fighting. The front and back are all complete, but there is no "deception" sex scenes. A look at the relevant introduction revealed that the psychologist turned out to be the director's wife. It can be seen that the director is also a liar, who can fool other actors and swindle money and sex, and he is not fooled!
