At the beginning of the movie, some patients came to the male lead for treatment. The male lead’s profession was a psychologist. At the beginning, it was a middle-aged person who had forgotten the memory. Every time he came, he mentioned events in 1987 instead of current events. Later, there was another woman who was about to commit suicide. However, in the process, the man and his wife were in mourning for the loss of their daughter. He needs to settle his job and take care of his wife. However, in this context, a girl named Elizabeth Valentine came to him for consultation at night, but she didn’t say anything, just wrote A string of numbers was placed: 12787. On the second visit, the girl knocked on the window next to the door of the consultation room and then fainted. The protagonist seemed to think something was wrong, because when he went home to look for the girl's information, his wife said that those things were your daughter's relics. He was puzzled, but something unknown drove him to find his teacher. The teacher was keenly aware of some details and told them to the male lead. Elizabeth Valentine’s initials are EV, which coincides with the name of the male lead’s dead daughter Ivy. There is another detail in their conversation. It’s because the male lead said that when he came to look for the teacher before, there was a picture here that he didn’t notice, and he mentioned that he often dreamed of this scene, so this time, including the previous meeting with the teacher, it was all of the male lead. Imagination may be a dream. The teacher reminded the male protagonist that this painting is a painting by Peter Bruegel during the Renaissance. What the painting wants to express is a hidden crisis: the painting is a skiing winter town, next to a tree on the right. A large group of birds are in a trap, but the person who set the trap hides behind the window and cannot see. The teacher then asked the hero who set the trap in the dream of the hero? In fact, this is the male protagonist doing psychoanalysis for himself, guiding him step by step to look back in the past, a process of self-questioning and answering, by guiding the male protagonist to find out that his daughter was killed by a car, what he was doing, he only remembers what he was hit by. Distracted, but he can't remember the specifics. The male protagonist returned to his studio. When the girl appeared again, he knew that this was the representative of his daughter, and the hallucinations of the train kept appearing in the window where he was watching his clinic. She also boarded a train somehow, and when she woke up, the female patient said that she knew why she could not commit suicide because she was actually dead. In this way, she became a ghost. The male protagonist found that his problem was very serious, and he frantically investigated his own information on these cases. He was surprised to find that the names of these cases in his diagnosis and treatment notebook were all on it, and they all died on the same day, and that day actually matched the number left by the girl. The host hurriedly called the teacher and asked him to come to him. However, after the other party came, the male lead said that even though these patients were all hallucinations, there was one thing that couldn't figure out, that is, these patients were introduced to him by the teacher. The teacher asked: What am I? At this time, the male protagonist suddenly realized that the teacher was also the person who produced his own hallucinations. The male protagonist began to study the addresses of these people, trying to find some details. During the research, he found that these place names go to and from a railway station, which made him wake up, because This place is his hometown. I took the train back to my father's house. His father was the original policeman in this town. He is now retired. Then the male owner found the newspaper about a train accident from the tin box in the house. The protagonist finally remembered that when he was 14 years old, he rode a bicycle with his friends to this platform and put the car on the rails. The result of this was that the train derailed. After thinking of this, he ran to the bar to find his little partner, and said about the trouble that this incident had caused him. The little partner was deeply guilty of this, so the male protagonist went to the police station to surrender the next day. So this old case, which had been in the dust for many years, was brought up again. The male protagonist returned to the scene at the time and continued to recall. At the same time, the female police officer also began to look for clues and found that the body was found here at the same time, but the school reported missing. The girl is not on this train. The male protagonist finally followed the girl’s figure and shuttled into the jungle to remember that the car in the jungle was his father’s, and the father took the girl to this small platform to rape, and then wanted to kill the latter. During the fight, it was the girl who pulled the switch of the train track switch down, and the male protagonist saw the handprints left on the window when the girl was struggling. This echoes the handprints that appeared before the film. This is the end of the matter. All have been revealed. Sometimes because of painful trauma, we will selectively forget or change our memory, so the memory is not true. What you remember is only what you want to remember, and what you believe is only what you want to believe. How to be rational and true In the fragmented memory, go back to the past and find a way to save yourself? The memory traces, as the truth, return in a delusional way. That is to say, the content of the delusion itself contains a certain hidden truth, the latter can not be directly recalled because of a certain trauma, so it appears in the form of hallucinations and other forms. ——Freud "The Construction of Analysis"
