analysis basis of "Smieg/Guru" in the movie "The Lord of the Rings" :
There are two personalities hidden in Smith's heart, which existed before he encountered the Lord of the Rings. The Lord of the Rings, as a main thread, runs through all the processes of the two personality seizures of Smith, that is, Smith's life.
Personality 1: timid, fearful, kind-hearted, obedient, strong sense of morality-Smither
personality 2: greed, unscrupulous, ferocious and evil-Guru
discussion 1: the evolution of dual personality
1. Before the discovery of the Lord of the Rings:
Personality 1 Occupying an absolute dominant position, the second personality is subconsciously suppressed in the subconscious. If there is no appearance of the Lord of the Rings, perhaps he will go through his life as a petty citizen under the dominance of personality one.
2. When the Lord of the Rings was discovered:
At that time, it was not known that it was the Lord of the Rings. But on my birthday, faced with a beautiful gold ring, the greed of the citizens rose from the heart, and the fight with friends stimulated the fierceness in the heart. The second personality was resurrected, and he quickly faced more and more fierce fighting. He has become a dominant personality, a strong goal-oriented, and desperate to satisfy his own desires. In his eyes, friends are no longer friends, but thorns that hinder self-satisfaction. So, kill him! Can’t you get "baby" in this way? This is the most natural choice. Of course, it cannot be ruled out here that the Lord of the Rings bewitched him and led to the rapid growth of Personality II. But in any case, the enchantment of the Lord of the Rings is only a secondary cause. The main inducement is the second personality lurking in the heart and the appearance of the favorite baby.
3. After the Lord of the Rings is in hand: After
the peak of desire satisfaction, it is the awakening of inner kindness/morality. Guilt, anxiety and loneliness occupy the heart, and occasionally return to the dominance of personality, and the joy of the baby is cursed and strong by conscience. Shrouded in self-blame, he hid in the mountains, gradually separated from human life, and became "another creature" in the eyes of others.
4. Frodo's tolerance and trust
For a long time, the mutual seizure of power between the two personalities has made him suffer. There are countless days and nights without companions, not to mention someone who can understand his inner struggle and suffering, and he is even looked down upon by everyone (including himself). Frodo is kind. Seeing Guru's appearance, he felt compassion. This compassion and concern is what Guru needs most, so he willingly regards him as his master and is willing to dedicate all his life and even his life to him. He used everything he could to be good to his master: catch rabbits for his master to eat, humble, lead the way, and take care of him.
Smith, who has faith, has unprecedented strength, and the battle between two personalities is finally settled: the timid "Smiger" (Personality 1) for the first time counterattacked the strong "Guru" (Personality 2) and put it away. Drive away. Personality is ecstatic: "Smieg is free!". At this time, the light of kindness flashed slightly, and the seeds of self-awareness had been sown, and given time, it would eventually bloom and bear fruit.
PS1: This reminds me of Tim in "The Tide". He used to be a soft-footed shrimp. After possessing faith, he reached another extreme: the desire to be recognized, the ecstasy of being paid attention, and the gratitude for being accepted made him full of swelling The power of madness to do all extreme things. Weak people are hungry for belief and need, but some beliefs are good medicine, and some are life-threatening poisons.
PS2: To treat a person with multiple personalities, don't criticize any of his personalities. Acceptance and love will gradually bring back the true master character. It feels safe, its power and territory are getting bigger and bigger, and it gradually takes over the soul and forms a more stable personality.
5. Being arrested by Faramo in the Forbidden Pool.
This is the key plot that took a turn for the worse. This is also the second and greatest tragedy in Smith's life.
Smith, who has gradually established his master character, unloads his burdens, is extremely relaxed, and makes people see kindness and good hope more and more-even if sometimes flattery/humility makes people sad. But when he trusted his master out of the forbidden pool, bows and arrows and beatings were waiting for him. He has no power to ask why.
The physical pain is not a pity, Smith is used to it. But the feeling of being betrayed by his most trusted owner ruthlessly destroyed the fire of kindness that had just ignited in his heart. Personality Two quickly took power and retaliated against Frodo with insidious tricks to vent his anger and heal the wounds of Personality One. Poor Smith, the second injury completely ruined the hope of personality. After that, Smith willingly abdicated and was willing to carry out Guru's poisonous scheme, because at least there is no risk in this way, at least it will not be hurt, because his own efforts have been truly proved useless: kindness, such as Frodo, is a hypocritical master. Who can be trusted?
PS1: The second injury in psychological counseling: even psychologists don't love me/harm me, who else has the ability and willingness to love me, and abandons himself.
PS2: An obedient and well-behaved child must have a parent who is good at fighting and good at controlling.
Discussion 2: The relationship between the two personalities:
1. Personality One and Personality Two coexist, oppose each other and depend on each other. In his self-conversation, almost all the subjects are "we". Part of the cause of this situation is the long-term loneliness, allowing him to develop a "partner" to satisfy his deep desire for companionship/protection.
2. Personality two has always acted as the protector and commander of Personality One: "It's all because of me that everyone can survive." In the long-term struggle for power, personality two has always been in a strong position because of the weakness of personality one, and personality two has always been in a strong position.
3. Before meeting Frodo, to some extent, personality two was the "belief" of personality one, the weak Smith Grid needs faith, and with "belief", it can survive-no matter if the faith brings him love or pain.
Of course, this SM-like sadomasochistic relationship is not what he really needs, so when the tolerant and kind-hearted Frodo appears, he cannot resist the respect and compassion from his heart-that is exactly what his heart feels. need. As a result, it turned against the "old faith".
But when the "Forbidden Pool Incident" occurred, the extremely painful and desperate Smith closed off the possibility of understanding the truth (perhaps as a traumatic stress response) and returned to Guru's embrace, even if it was poison. (Oh, yes, people sometimes prefer poison to choose the truth, because they worry about the cruelty of the truth.)
Knot: There may also be personality three: the "baby" Lord of the Rings. Personality three controls the first two personalities. Personality three is a deeper need and the source of everything. Dark, dark, invisible.
The court is adjourned today and will be discussed later.
