In his work "Dr. Incarnation", the British writer Stevenson uses medicine to isolate an innocent Mr. Hyde from the respected scientist Dr. Jack. Although this is an excellent science fiction novel, the splitting of different personalities in one person is real in reality. This is not a type of mental illness, but a manifestation of a psychological disorder (as people used to call it "multiple personality disorder"). It will not be sent to a psychiatric hospital for treatment, but it will make people suffer endless torture and even perennial torture. Life threatens, but because many people do not understand, patients suffer discrimination. Based on his personal experience of split personality, Cameron West, an American doctor of psychology, wrote the book "24 Personalities", which records in detail how 24 personalities are tearing away the originally peaceful life in his body, revealing The scarred past.
"Dissociative identification disorder" is an extreme personality split, which is often caused by childhood sexual abuse, and the environment or cultural background is also a very important factor. When a child is sexually abused for the first time, the abuser may be close to him or someone he knows, and he cannot accept this horrible and painful experience. He coped with this situation like a rabbit meets an eagle, avoiding, hiding, and covering himself up. He knew that he was powerless to resist, so he had to choose another extreme way-consciousness would separate a brand new personality from their bodies, with a completely different personality from before. Sometimes this personality is part of the patient's personality, sometimes this Personality is an unattainable desire of patients. When those painful memories are handed over to "another person" and buried deep in an unknown dark corner in his heart, the child can continue to live a normal life as if nothing had happened. If similar incidents happen again, he will adopt the same method of defense, perhaps allowing the previous clone to come forward, or creating a new clone. Those clones have their own personalities and memories, and will gradually develop into a solitary personality separated from the original children. Just like the 24 people living in Dr. West's body, they have males and females, with different personalities, calm adults, and 4-year-old children. Most of the cured patients either combine multiple clones into one, or allow multiple personalities to cooperate and coordinate, and they can live normally, just like Dr. Weston.
On the big screen, we can see different ways to show the fear and pain that dual personality and multiple personality bring to people. "Fatal id" (Identity) tells the story of an attempt to merge multiple personalities into one. The male protagonist was abused by his mother when he was a child; in "Mr. Brooks", Mr. Brooks was gentle and gentle during the day. The boss of a company with huge wealth became a vicious and unmarked "thumb killer" at night. He was condemned by his conscience to amazement to discover that his daughter had inherited his character, and all nightmares pounced on him; "hide and seek" The little girl who lost her mother in (Hide and Seek) slowly discovered the true cause of her mother's death, which is all related to the angry and cruel side of the dual personality.
Dostoevsky likes to study the "dual personality" or the duality of people very much. This is reflected in many of his works. In "Dual Personality", Goryadkin is imaginary in his head full of paranoia. Another incarnation, the image of Goryadkin has become the prototype of Raskrinikov in Crime and Punishment. It's just that Raskrinikov's clone is more resourceful and good at sophistry, and his methods (including murder) can be summed up by a large set of theories to support this method. The frustration and unwillingness of life made him conceive a great plan in his heart, and killing is only one step.
Looking at these literary and film and television works describing the split personality, there are roughly two research methods. One is to torture the soul and dig out human nature based on the different personalities of good and evil. This is the case with Dostoevsky's work. The other is through coordination and struggle with personality, self-salvation, "Dr. Incarnation", "24-fold personality", and "fatal id" all fall into this category. Dr. Jack in "Dr. Incarnation" faced an out-of-control personality and had to commit suicide. Death was his last successful resistance.
In fact, most works choose the latter method, and there are still very few people who can reach the height of Dostoevsky.
2.
Personality split in the fight club When multiple personalities in a person's body can perceive each other's existence or even communicate with each other, it is the so-called "coexistence consciousness". However, even if many patients find other personalities, they will instinctively deny his existence, which makes this disease even more dangerous. Just like the role played by Edward Norton in "Fight Club".
#Edward Norton's empty life.
Edward Norton does not even have a real name in the film, only countless pseudonyms. He is an unknown man, living a mediocre life, so lifeless, maybe you can't remember his name, he can be anyone. When he was extremely empty, he began to lose sleep. But he did not spend 10 hours longer than ordinary people. 14 hours or 24 hours, it doesn’t make a difference for him. Anyway, he’s just doing nothing. Looking at the IKEA brochure, he bought all the furniture of different shapes that stimulated his nerves and put them in the corner. Regardless of the matter, the space filled with things can't fill his emptiness. He didn't even bother to go shopping. What is it like? He wasn't even angry, he was just the toilet paper thrown beside the sewer pipe. It was useless and no one noticed, expecting the sewage to wash him away. The repetitive melody in the background that drives people crazy is a portrayal of his life-boring.
Norton has no self-recognition or positioning. He even wants to see his personality through furniture and dishes.
In fact, the signs of split personality existed in his life for a long time, but he could not even notice the doctor. Dr. Weston has investigated that even in the United States, patients with multiple personality disorders who have been hospitalized for an average of 6 years can receive effective treatment and diagnosis. From Weston's experience in different hospitals, we can learn a little bit. Most people are distracted when driving or walking. When they come back to their minds, they find that they no longer remember where they have passed. Everyone has a tendency to split personality. This is very common, and many people will experience it. Norton once asked the doctor after insomnia, and in the conversation mentioned that he often woke up and found that he did not know where he was and why he came here. The doctor didn't take it seriously, just told him that he needed a good rest. He is not understood and feels lonely. It is not because he is seriously ill or lacks arms or legs to know the pain. Another personality has long been lurking in his body, watching his life. This is why the director David Fincher wanted to insert some of his framed images into the movie before Taylor Dayton appeared. When Norton was in a daze or when he participated in a mutual aid club, he had flashed his figure. Pay attention and you will find out. This is not just an easter egg set by the director, it is very meaningful. Personality splits rarely break out suddenly, and those separated personalities do not appear until months or even decades. Maybe Taylor Dayton is more than one person. During this time, he defeated other unformed personalities and represented the most powerful personality. Maybe he was waiting for an opportunity to find Norton when he was most vulnerable. .
#I don’t want to be a penguin
When you are in a painful embrace, surrounded by well-developed lacrimal glands, you will always cry naturally. For your insignificant sadness and depression. Deep down in my heart, Norton does not feel that his pain is any different from those men who have lost their testicles. He suffers from a terminal illness immersed in despair.
While meditating, Norton found that his inner reflection was a penguin, which was the one he hated. Those glamorous penguins, it is difficult to distinguish the difference between them. They are all wrapped in black and white feathers that fit and appear in groups on the glacier, just like a thousand-person office worker wearing a tight black suit. Run blindly from one place to another. Slide down, regardless of direction. Norton hated himself who was the same as others, and felt the suffocation of being submerged in countless kinds of himself. He is unique only in the mutual aid meeting. He likes to be a little sinister of himself. Seeing others grieving for their lives, he feels more and more superior, helping him to get out of the depression of peace.
But the appearance of Mara Singh ruined everything. Norton is no longer that unique existence, he is going to be like everyone else again. This is why in the subsequent meditations, Penguin became Mara, the "evil woman". The more he hated Mara, the more he saw how disgusting he was.
#遇见一个自己
The job of a car accident investigator gave Norton the opportunity to travel around the world. Different time differences, different languages, and different countries made his understanding of himself more vague. He fantasized about an airplane accident, but he didn't have the courage to die. As a result, the brave, unparalleled, and distinctive Taylor Dayton appeared at the right time. This man is the image Norton has always dreamed of-handsome appearance, natural sense of humor, clever and agile, always aware of his goals, and full offensive. It is by no means Taylor's first appearance on the plane, otherwise, who would have planned to blow up Norton's apartment? They only started communicating for the first time.
The biggest difficulty in treating "dissociative identification disorder" is not how much personality you have, but that everyone strongly denies the existence of the facts. Dr. Weston specifically isolates one personality to scare others from telling the truth. Tyler Durton also repeatedly told Norton not to mention himself to others. He carefully concealed himself, knowing that Norton was always easy, looking for opportunities to monopolize his body.
Everyone needs to "vent", you can no matter what he means in psychology, everyone has his own way to relieve stress and tension. The reason for the existence of fight clubs is that people need to use pain to vent their inner depression. They use this to show their pain, "harming themselves is sometimes a message sent by their clones." So, after the fight, Norton always feels great, everything can be solved easily.
Tyler Dayton’s questions always reveal Norton’s past and heartfelt thoughts. He once asked Norton, "If you are asked to choose someone, who do you choose to fight with?" Norton's answer was "the boss", and Taylor said it was "my dad." Undoubtedly, the objects they choose are people who usually suppress themselves or hurt themselves. Because they have a body, Taylor's memory is actually the past that was blocked by Norton. Norton had no impression of his father. He only remembered that his father left him when he was six years old. The relationship between his parents was not good and he was often asked to be a microphone. In fact, maybe his father abused him in his childhood, and he chose to avoid this unbearable memory. He doesn't remember any intersection with his father. That's why Taylor has such a tough personality, blocking his knife and gun, making him feel safe for the first time.
#My dear enemy
Taylor is Norton’s best friend and enemy. He taught Norton to face the fear of death. This is the reason Norton has been struggling from start to finish, and it is also the reason why he cannot get rid of Taylor. Gradually, Taylor threatened Norton's existence. People are talking about Taylor, and they are respecting Taylor. Norton's actions slowly overlapped with Taylor's image, and Taylor-style language came out of his mouth. Even the Taylor-style rogues played handily and calmly scared the boss into a dumbfounded voice.
When you are accustomed to the same level of pain, you will not feel the pain, which is why Taylor keeps upgrading the level of pain and repeatedly approaching the distance from death. It seems that only in this way can he feel alive. Just like people who use drugs, they need to constantly take more toxic drugs to feel the pleasure.
Until the tragic death of a former friend in an accident caused by Taylor, Norton began to feel guilty and began to disagree with Taylor's actions. He became stronger and stronger. He slowly acquired Taylor's courage and intelligence, and he discovered the fatal flaws in the new world Taylor created. Taylor's world is no different from the world he used to live in, and it is a worse totalitarian world. No doubts are allowed.
3. The film’s out-of-control
"Fight Club" was originally a self-salvation for patients with dual personality. David Fincher also arranged a bright ending, but it was difficult for many audiences to accept. The main reason comes from the loss of control of the film, which leads to obstacles to the transmission of the director's ideas.
When Taylor Dayton, or Brad Pitt, appeared, the movie started to get out of control. Pete's glamorous light covers almost everything, and he seems to far exceed the purpose of this character when it was originally set. David Fincher wanted to create an image that everyone loved, and then beat him to his ultimate goal, which is the original intention of the movie, "love is as strong as death." But the venting scene of bloodthirsty fighting, I don't know how many audiences in the deep depressive environment have been catered to, unearthing their anger, and killing them one by one. People are beginning to be confused by the role of Taylor, and sincerely fall in love with the peace and sweetness that this life and pain bring. Just like Norton. It can be said that this character is not only out of Norton's control, but also out of Vinci's control. The whole movie is shrouded in the light of Pete wearing a dark red leather jacket, smoking a cigarette, and smiling diagonally. People hopelessly fell in love with him, recognized him, and at the same time recognized his free way of life. He represents the unachievable sense of resistance in people's hearts.
In the "V-Vendetta Squad", you will see how a person's anger infects people across the country, expands and escalates the anger in the numb heart, and finally overthrows a country. Taylor also has such an appeal in the "Fight Club", but it's a pity that his goal is gradually getting out of track. Originally wanted to destroy this cookie-cutter world, but inadvertently created another more similar world. The "army" and "Allied Army" he trained have no thoughts, their appearance and characteristics are the same, and even the location of their hands burned by strong alkali is not bad at all. He assimilated everyone, let them lose their individual characteristics, and serve his ideals. Is the world full of such thoughtless people better than before?
It's a pity that Finch was a little weak in expressing these views, and Norton's rise and resistance also appeared a bit weak and embarrassed, lacking Taylor's "hero" image, which is also one of the reasons why the director's original intention is not clear. Taylor's glorious image is deeply imprinted in the minds of the audience, and it is difficult to accept other points of view. People look forward to darker and more enjoyable, rather than a sudden turn of light, Taylor's disappearance.
4. Love is as strong as death
"If you have crazy love, if you love strongly, if you absolutely love, death is far away."-"The King is dying" Younes
Kudanmara • Singela took Norton's hand and looked at the collapsed buildings under the night sky. I felt in a daze that she was the one who saved the world.
Mara Singh is a very arrogant woman who doesn't care about the eyes of others and has no moral concepts, so she just sells strangers' clothes to second-hand clothes shops. I really like the role played by Helena Bonham Carter (may also be mixed with my unreasonable love for Helena itself). Although she and Norton are very empty and go to all mutual aid clubs, she has Norton. No calmness. She swallowed sleeping pills and called everyone for help, as if the world was just a joke on her lips, and beneath her self-deprecating appearance was her soft heart eager to care.
She and Taylor were only the objects of mutual venting at the beginning, and it was simply a "shattering" love relationship. What Mara likes are all Taylor's advantages: humor, cleverness, and free will, so Norton has no idea about the relationship with Mara at first. With the overlapping of Norton and Taylor's personalities, he gradually discovered that Mara aroused the long-dead desire in his heart, the thing called love. She broke into his life on the verge of splitting carelessly, reminding him of Taylor's existence again and again, intentionally or unintentionally. In fact, Norton finally discovered that Tyler had a great contribution to Mara. She is Taylor's flaw, so Taylor is afraid of her, and at the same time wants to get close to her.
In order to see Norton, Mara even lied to suspect that she had breast cancer. This is a small farce of her love. Under the gothic eye makeup, under the tousled hair, is a soul melted for love. On the one hand, she was annoyed by Norton's moodiness, on the other hand, she was crazy about him. Every time after leaving angrily, she couldn't help but come to see Norton.
At the end of the film, Norton disarmed the bomb in the building in a mess, and was dragged to the top of the building by Taylor's punch. This is the beginning of the film.
I have to say that Norton is not only weak-willed, but also very slow. It was not until Mara was threatened to find that her love for her was a feeling of interdependence in life. Only Mara liked him as an "ordinary" person. , Will hold his hand at the end of the world. Although she always looks fierce, in fact it is just the shell of her defense. When she saw Norton's cheek pierced by a pistol, she immediately became gentle and considerate, letting go of her suspicion.
When the world is destroyed, the land on which they stand will not collapse—love keeps them away from death.
