I habitually read movie reviews after watching a movie. After watching this movie, I found that there are only a dozen movie reviews for this movie, which is much lower than my expectations. After thinking about it, I feel that people may not know much about this Zizek and the theory he uses, which has caused many audiences to have difficulty understanding.
This film uses a lot of Freud's theory, which has been introduced in the undergraduate psychology content in China. Many psychology students are not unfamiliar with the terms "ego_id_superego_subconscious". However, as far as I know, the domestic undergraduate psychology content does not involve Lacan and Zizek (if I remember correctly, Lacan was mentioned in the publication of Nanjing Normal University, and it was mentioned in one stroke. It is worth mentioning the psychology of Sichuan University. It is the Lacanian school, and Huo Datong is there). Many Lacan scholars in China are in philosophy and comparative literature, such as Wu Qiong of the National People's Congress, Huang Zuo of Jinan, and Huang Hanping and so on. Although I call myself a movie fan, I haven't seen most of the movies that Zizek explained (forgive me after the 1990s), so I have roughly constructed my personal understanding of this psychology over the past few years, definitely There are many things that are not right, please share and criticize.
Freud was the founder of psychoanalysis.
His theories are drawn from clinical experience and have a distinctly biological overtone. In the early days of Freud, consciousness was divided into subconscious and conscious. Consciousness refers to the mental activities that we can perceive. In Fu's view, consciousness is the tip of the iceberg. Most of the mental activities we cannot perceive are called subconscious. The content of the subconscious is mostly physiological impulses and behaviors that are not allowed by morality. This part is strictly scrutinized by the supervision mechanism, so that it is suppressed below the level of consciousness. When a person goes into a state of sleep, the supervision mechanism relaxes. Only the content can enter into our consciousness level in the form of a makeover, thus forming a dream. Dream analysis is based on this theory to discover the true psychological impulse of the patient, and bring this part of the impulse of the patient to the level of consciousness, so as to release this part of the impulse to complete the treatment of the patient. Fern pays special attention to childhood experience, he divides the age from 0 to 18 into five stages: the oral stage, the anal stage, the genital stage, the latent stage, and the adolescence. The period of each stage is a focus of energy (libido) betting and a source of pleasure. The famous Electra is in the latent period (about 6 to 12 years old), during which the boy/girl wishes to kill the father/mother to marry/marry the mother/father, and there are many hints of seduction of the mother/father, these behaviors The suggestion is discovered by the parents and becomes a joke.
Given the authority of their parents, children suppress these urges to kill their fathers and mothers to find other breakthroughs. Some people turn them into motivation for learning, or throw them on their teachers of the opposite sex. In the later period of Freud, personality was divided into id, ego, and superego. The principle of the id is the pleasure principle, the primordial human being, the driving force of action. The ego is the actual person, which makes one act in accordance with reality. The superego is the moralized ego, following moral principles. Žižek seems to attach great importance to the relationship between the superego and the id, and Fu seems to have also said that the superego stipulates the fast content. This may also be that many people break through the shackles of morality and experience the pleasure from the id. It is a pity that most of Freud's disciples broke with him, and Jung, who was once regarded as Freud's successor, also left him (Lacan once criticized Jung for being too romantic, and Lacan always Advocate for a return to Freud). Throughout the disciples of Fu, most of them have gradually abandoned Fu's theory of sexual impulse dominance. For example, his son-in-law Erickson has attached great importance to the role of society. Even Rogers, one of the founders of humanism, studied with Fromm in his early years. The theory of humanism believes that people are not beasts struggling with desires as described in psychoanalysis, but have the need for self-realization. There is no denying that Freud's theory was the greatest theory on the eve of the 20th century.
Lacan was a French psychologist, psychoanalytic school. His early theory of mirroring was a breakthrough in learning Lacan, and my favorite theory. The mirror theory divides infants into stages from 6 to 18 months. Lacan believed that human beings, as preterm infants in nature, are not able to separate themselves from their mothers during the period from birth to six months of infants and consider themselves still part of the mother's body. After six months, the baby gradually realizes that he is no longer part of the mother's body, and various physiological needs are no longer being met in time. He has to cry to remind his mother of his needs and keep pleasing her for better care and hope of returning to the mother, fearing separation from the mother. After eighteen months, the baby realizes that it is impossible to return to the carefree state of the mother, but the anxiety generated by this separation is resolved when the baby becomes independent (in control), thereby Got great pleasure. The baby constantly completes the concept of self from the evaluation of others or self-observation. The baby constantly moves in front of the mirror, and the shadow in the mirror also follows the movement. He came to point at his real self, thereby losing his true self, trying to be the self described by others, and thus becoming a tool of other people's desires. There are many signifiers and formulas in Lacan's theory that I can't understand, but I feel that the mirroring theory seems to be very good at explaining people's viewing process. It seems like an adult's return to mirror image and self-construction/misreading (the audience automatically imagines themselves as the protagonist) during a full viewing. The experience of peeping in the movie also seems to repeat the thrill of children gaining control. In film criticism, Lacan's theory breaks through the previous interpretation of the film text and integrates the interaction between the audience and the film.
I don't know much about Zizek, except that he was a disciple of Lacan, and I hardly read his books. I don't like this movie at all. It would be much better if he interpreted every movie from beginning to end like Dai Jinhua did in movie criticism, instead of the first sentence and the last sentence in the movie.
I've written so much without realizing it, and it seems to have gone too far. Still learning, seeking criticism, seeking guidance. 1057310231 Movie fans and psychology lovers can add me.
