I'm so obsessed with this matter, but in fact it has something to do with a person. When we communicated last time, she said: "Recently, I watched the American movie "Black Swan" and read some film reviews on the Internet. I feel that many people actually didn’t understand this movie. The director lacked a clarification and explanation to the audience at the end. I was thinking at the time, if you watched this movie, there must be something to say, what would you say? I hope to be able to read your words. "
I value this always short email from afar, because in my opinion it is a tacit spiritual resonance and a pure spiritual connection. This is a precious connection that I like very much.
Therefore, when I was watching the movie "Black Swan", I was attracted by the magnificent scenes while being shocked by the director's skillful metaphors. At the same time, I was still asking myself: Then from what perspective will I come from? Talk about it?
Movies and Hypnosis
I remembered this movie again on the bus a few days ago. What impressed me most was a solo dance by the heroine at the beginning of the movie.
Under the spotlight shining obliquely, her white veil, curvaceous figure, beautiful music, her expression is calm but full of joy, she dances with emotion, it seems that every cell in her body is filled with the dancing of her body. Rhythm, full of agile beauty.
Music, lighting, dance, and camera movement are seamlessly combined to create a fascinating beauty. Such beauty makes people unable to help but hold their breath.
Then weird music sounded, and a man who looked like a devil walked towards her. Two big rotations followed the camera, and I began to know that this was a dream.
They danced a pas de deux. She didn't seem to know his existence, but the dance steps of the two were coordinated. Slowly, her expression changed from calm and beautiful to nervous and confused.
Finally, she waved her arms gracefully in the spotlight, like a flying white swan, the music faded...
This was really a shocking opening! This is really an opening full of tension!
Director Darren Aronofsky opened the scene in such an attractive way: a woman with a beautiful figure, strange music, a mysterious atmosphere, tense but beautiful rhythm of the film, which undoubtedly laid the foundation for the whole movie It is a kind of tone, but at the same time it also attracts the audience's desire to continue to look down.
In hypnosis work, we also use unusual language or methods to attract the attention of the hypnotized person, or stimulate his curiosity, or make him interested in the following content, so that he can enter unconsciously. Our work makes the hypnosis after us progress more smoothly.
Let's take a look at how the director arranged Lily's appearance: Nina took the subway-she found a woman in black who attracted her attention-couldn't help but look, the woman flashed past-Nina was confused- —The camera follows Nina's back—Nina looks at the woman on the giant poster outside the theater—and walks into the studio.
In the subsequent plots, we saw that the woman in black is the female No. 2 of the movie, and the woman on the poster also has some scenes in the movie, and there is a deep spiritual and psychological connection between the three of them. .
This kind of plot advancement method and the repeated appearance of various elements are of course specially arranged by the director after careful design, because only in this way can the audience be deeply attracted.
In fact, most viewers will not be aware of these elements, and the relationship between the interlaced appearance of each element and their attention, especially they will not know the reason why they are deeply attracted by the whole movie, in fact, these elements And their recurrence plays a vital role.
There are other elements, such as "white gauze skirt", "dance", "black feathers", "strange music", and "black swan eye makeup" that appear repeatedly throughout the film, especially from the beginning of the movie. It has appeared first, and our attention will follow these elements, and our mood will fluctuate.
Similarly, in hypnosis work, we will also use this method to allow visitors to follow the same elements recurring in the language to change those fixed thinking patterns.
When necessary, the hypnotist will use his own clothes, tone, tone, speed of speech, and timely pauses to create the "recurring elements" in order to achieve the therapeutic effect. It is also difficult for visitors to notice that the reason why they have undergone certain changes is actually the skill of adding elements of change to the conversation with the hypnotist. The repetition of those elements that make people change prompts the visitor. Change of the person.
(Some friends here may question: What if the hypnotist uses hypnosis techniques to do bad things? This is a problem that many people worry about. Here is a special explanation: the human subconscious has a self-protection function. If the hypnotist does something When the hypnotic instruction violates the interests of the person concerned, the person concerned will wake up from hypnosis. This is the result of a lot of empirical research.)
In order to visualize Nina's inner growth, a large number of metaphorical shots are used in the film:
*Scars on the back-the pain caused by growth and transformation;
*The act of stealing lipstick-the desire to be like her (star); the desire to grow;
*Black Lily-the dark side, free-spirited, natural nature;
* White Nina-pure, fettered, and morally masked;
*black wings growing on her back-psychological transformation, personality change
* bleeding-loss of energy,
etc...
But in hypnosis work, we It also makes extensive use of metaphorical stories to help visitors see more resources and possibilities. For example, when I want a client to accept that I can’t become “good” right away, I don’t just take the time to explain to him that it takes time for a person to grow up. It requires continuous work to gradually improve the situation. I might even leave my seat and go to a blackboard after he raised this question, draw a thick line on the blackboard with chalk, and then reach out to wipe the line. I will wipe it seriously, and wipe it over and over again. After a while, we will find together that there is still a faint line that is not easy to see on the blackboard.
At this point, the visitor is naturally enlightened, and there is no need for extra language to explain.
From this perspective, an excellent filmmaker is actually an excellent hypnotist.
The mother of the desperate mother and the daughter
Nina who longed to grow up has been "loving" Nina in her own way, including buying large cakes for the daughter who was on a diet, sneaking into her daughter's bedroom in the middle of the night to watch her sleep, and giving it to her. The adult daughter’s room is decorated with a lot of rag dolls, the daughter’s room is decorated in pink, and the daughter is not allowed to go out to play at night, especially if she does not want her to have friends of her own.
A female friend looked at the two-year-old girl who was playing happily on the floor, and said affectionately and sadly: "I feel very heartbroken when she thinks that one day she will grow up and she will not need me so much."
In this sentence, Tao has exhausted the fear and sorrow of the world's mothers.
It is an indisputable fact that once children grow up, they desire to leave their parents and live their own lives. Some mothers will use love to control their children, such as taking care of all the children's affairs, so that the children will never grow up and need the mother's care.
For example, mothers who keep reminding their children to concentrate (she uses this method to make her children unable to concentrate)-in fact, the mother may not want her children to concentrate, because once the children really concentrate Now, he will do everything well, and then he won't need his mother anymore.
Sometimes, the mother subconsciously hopes that her child will be sick, because the sick child will rely on her very much and need her as she did when she was a child, and she will also feel the love and connection in being needed, and feel the sense of self-esteem.
Therefore, the child is really sick, because if he does not confirm the mother's prophecy, it is a betrayal of the mother. This is the mother-child, mother-daughter relationship under psychodynamic theory.
In many cases, most people are actually unwilling to delve into the truth of some things, because the truth is embarrassing, even scary.
Nina's father did not appear in "Black Swan", that is to say, in Nina's family, the role of father is absent. This of course is also the fundamental reason why the mother must put almost all of her attention on Nina, and this directly caused her love to be too much and too heavy, so much that it would crush Nina, so Nina would appear. Hallucinations, with symptoms similar to schizophrenia. She wanted to resist, but she lacked the outward power, so she had to hurt herself inward, which eventually caused her to self-harm because of loss of control.
In a family, if the relationship between husband and wife is harmonious and happy, it is almost certain that the child has a healthy psychology and personality. Because emotionally happy parents will pay more attention to managing the relationship between husband and wife, and let the children grow up freely according to their instincts-people already have all the resources for their healthy growth. In a family with a harmonious relationship between husband and wife, children will establish a sense of security for the family and at the same time have a more stable understanding of themselves. They can also learn how to manage relationships with their parents, and establish healthy relationships with opposite-sex parents from opposite-sex parents. Experience, this will be used in his relationship between the sexes when he is an adult.
However, if the relationship between the husband and wife is not harmonious, one of the parents is likely to focus too much attention on the child, and the child cannot bear such much attention. Of course, it will cause a series of problems.
So, if you want your children to grow up healthily, have a healthy mentality and personality, and have a successful and happy life in adulthood, spend more energy on managing the relationship between husband and wife. That is better than enrolling your children in training courses. It all works.
The tonality of the film
was amazed when I saw that "Black Swan" was classified as a "thriller" on the Internet.
If "Black Swan" is horrifying, I think it should be given by music. People think it is horrible, probably because some metaphorical shots in it are a bit exaggerated, but I think that it is not exaggerated enough to arouse audience psychology. The visual shock is not exaggerated enough to express the director's personal style-it seems that Karen likes this way of expression.
I personally think that this movie is about a series of processes of inner growth and personality perfection experienced by a person walking out of the narrow self-space and on the road to realize their dreams. There is no logic between
dreams and real
dreams, because dreams are the product of the right brain.
So we will find that we dreamed that we were eating in the house, but suddenly appeared and wandered by the sea without a reason. And in our dreams, we didn't feel that there was any problem at all.
Movies often give us this feeling. Sometimes we are immersed in a certain plot to imagine the director’s intentions and the development of the story. Suddenly for no reason, the picture becomes a cloud of fog, and we suddenly change Pull back my thoughts to study what kind of deep meaning is hidden behind this new picture—just like a movie, all the elements in the dream actually have their own meanings, and they just need a psychologist to translate it.
From this perspective, whether the heroine Nina is really suffering from schizophrenia, there is no need to further explore, although she often has hallucinations and eventually commits suicide.
When we were young, the teacher would let us recite the central idea of a text, and those articles often reflect the author's lofty thoughts of loving the motherland and the people. But in fact, someone may just write a short essay.
When I watch a movie when I grow up, I still don’t want to ask the director what he wants to express in making this movie (or ask a painter or sculptor what your work expresses). I believe that more often people don’t want it. What to express, just create this work if you have inspiration. But there are always so many people who keep asking him about the deep meaning behind the work, which directly leads to him having no choice but to make up a casual conversation.
In fact, as a work of art, such as movies, novels, music, sculptures, etc., once the author has created it, it belongs to the masses and belongs to each of us. You can understand it as you wish.
Indeed, everything is not important. The important thing is that "Black Swan" is really a good movie, a good movie worth savoring, no matter the director, screenwriter, lighting, music, performance, photography, etc., it is impeccable.
