It’s not a thriller, it’s just a lack of love

I think the overall tempo of the high-scoring film is a bit slow, but we have to see what we really want to express underneath the film

I think there are about two points, which are worth our thinking

The first is the psychological problem. In fact, each of us has some psychological problems just like the heroine, which may not be as serious as her.

Especially the family that encountered something when I was a child, I had big problems during the college entrance examination. It was not too much test pressure but other psychological problems. Many times we have been looking for an answer, just like the heroine, the answer It's actually very simple, but we have been criticizing ourselves, wanting to know the answer from others, wanting to know whether we are worth it; wanting to use some means to win the attention of others, and want to solve the problem.

The hostess always felt that her birth was a mistake. She felt that the original father hated him and felt that it was a mistake. And I think this error is more manifested in his mother who insisted on giving birth to him but was not responsible for her.

It can be seen in a detail of the film that when the psychiatrist was on the phone with her husband, the female doctor reminded him to pay attention to the female protagonist’s mental state, and the female protagonist might die as a result.

Also, during the conversation between the hostess and the psychologist, the hostess said that her native family was very happy and her stepfather treated her very well. But in fact, it may not be the case, but on the contrary. At the back of the movie, when the hostess asked her mother if she could go home, her mother said it was OK, and then the hostess’s long-lost smile appeared on her face again. But her mother then said: You can’t come here because you have a baby, and there is no room to live in, which proves that she is actually facing a big problem in her native family. The family never cared about her, her mother was only good to her on the surface.

But all of this did not resolve after she formed a new family and became pregnant. Her status in the family can also be seen. In fact, her husband doesn't love her, it can only be said that he doesn't understand him. The psychologist asked her husband to pay attention to her to understand and love her, but his husband only cares about her past and children. After learning about it, I just went out to the gym and didn’t care about the hostess at all. From here, the hostess understood that no one cares about her, and her husband’s parents are actually the same. To a large extent, they just regarded her as having a child. Tool of.

In many small details of the movie, it is implied that her husband does not love her, such as meeting the male protagonist’s parents and their conversation, the male protagonist’s father neglecting him, and a series of things.

In fact, there is no alien eating disorder at all, but no one cares. The heroine uses this method, this approach to self-abuse, just to make others pay attention to herself.

In fact, the world can be better. If the male protagonist takes care of the female protagonist's heart and talks to her, this state will not appear.

It is the estrangement between loved ones and not talking that caused this situation.

The hostess just wants her to care about him, but no one cares. I don’t think the method is extreme. Medically speaking, this is a disease, but I don’t think it’s a disease. It’s just something he faced since he was a child. The environment and the habitual neglect of the family drove her to become like this. When we grew up accustomed to being ignored by our family members of our emotional needs, there is a high probability that this will become the case.

I am glad that the hostess understood, and he also came out.

She understood that her happiness could not be found in them, and she also figured out her own state.

Awakening at the end

As if I saw myself

At the end, the heroine came out and walked away from the shadows. She understood that she was not a mistake, she was not a tool, and her happiness did not need to be found from anyone.

Her conversation with her father was the key to him getting out of it all.

In fact, everything has a reason.

How extreme he is to her husband.

How extreme it seemed to his parents.

From her husband’s colleagues

Her husband even circulated the incident as a laughing stock in the office. Poor people in the world are like this, explaining things that they haven't seen with their own reasons. Never consider why others become like this.

Just now I remembered that from another aspect, I can know that the heroine is actually lacking in love. When her husband invited her colleague to play at home, her husband's male colleague wanted to hug her.

I most likely think that this male colleague was a fantasy by him. It may also be real. But it also showed how much she actually wanted someone to hug him like this. But everyone actually cares about the child in her belly, and others never understand why he is so extreme.

There has never been an extreme thing in the world, and everything has a reason. I also hope that people with these problems can find their true self as soon as possible.

Happiness is created by yourself. In this case, don't rely on others for your happiness. Don't rely on happiness on people like the heroine's husband.

I do not comment on the right or wrong of the heroine, nor do I comment on the right or wrong of anyone. There are many things like this, but many people can't understand it.
