If this sentence is meaningless, there is no need to use it in such a critical place and give so many shots.
Many great people have made various interpretations from the history involved in the movie and the plot of the original novel. I am not a great man. I also want to join in the excitement and use the topic to talk about my humble opinion from the perspective of the psychological world, purely for entertainment.
The following is an association triggered by a proverb.
First of all, a basic hypothesis, the house can be understood as a person's atrium. In psychological counseling, hypnosis or image dialogue, the image of "house" is usually used to represent the atrium of the visitor. "Multiple personality" is a familiar psychological term in modern society, so the phrase "everyone has a ghost in their heart" is now easily accepted. In the movie, this is a lingering house, in which many ghosts live, some of them can communicate with the male protagonist, suggest and seduce the darkness in his heart, and eventually drive him into madness.
Ordinary people’s multiple personalities are usually well organized. They can flexibly deal with different roles in life, and they can also change smoothly and naturally, and they clearly know that their different personalities are part of themselves, and they will not feel split. , Even if there are some small personality defects, it will not have too serious impact on all aspects of life. People with severe mental illness may not be able to achieve personality transformation, and some people may stay in the psychological age of severe trauma in their childhood. Normally this injured childish personality will not appear, but when a similar situation occurs in reality In an injury scenario, the patient's personality will regress to the psychological age of the early injury. If such scars are not treated in time, they will continue to accumulate in the process of growth, and finally form a pattern. Even if the current stimulation is very weak, it will stimulate a strong neurotic reaction.
In the early experience, especially before the age of 2 years old, the baby is still not very clear between "you" and "I", that is, the object and the subject. All nurturers will be stored as object images by the baby's unconsciousness, if it is before the age of 2 , Having experienced traumatic separation from their biological parents, most babies will stay in the chaotic phase of "you" and "me", and the sense of boundary with others is very weak, so the unconscious object image-the parent will Become a part of your personality, strengthen or weaken according to your growth experience. People who are stuck at this age usually have serious mental illnesses based on "personality disorders" during adolescence, and few patients can recover completely. Adults who are extremely narcissistic, unable to put themselves in and feel others, usually experience trauma at this age.
Based on the various details in the movie, it can be boldly assumed that the important characters that make up the entire movie belong to the same person (let's call him R), and a family of three is the dominant personality. The male protagonist is an injured childish personality, and the stuck age is about 2 or 3 years old; the female protagonist is the object image of an early mother; and the son is a personality with a growth instinct.
R's mother should be a patient with a narcissistic personality disorder, with a weak personality and no accomplishment in real life. She places her hopes on her son. She expects too much from R's residence in the early parenting, and she has been disappointed and dissatisfied for a long time. Part of R's personality (male protagonist) agrees with his mother's personality and evaluation of himself. In the film’s interview with the employer, the male protagonist can see that he has failed in his career and has unrealistic expectations of himself-eager to become a great writer. The provocative way the ghost opened the storeroom door for him can be seen in the provocative way that he Dissatisfied with oneself, sensitive to other people's negative evaluation, will react violently. But in fact it is very weak. It can be seen from his seemingly weak wife that he can easily fight him, especially when he finally opened the bathroom door with an axe, but his wife cut her hand with a knife to make him give up. It can be seen that he When growing up, personal ability development is hindered, and will give up when encountering difficulties. In the end, the blame for nothing was done to the early experience-all work, no play, makes jack a dull boy. This kind of connection, this sentence is valuable.
The son in the movie represents a personality with a growth instinct. Everyone has experienced the confrontation between the instinct for growth and the instinct for refusing to grow. Most people have the instinct for growth defeating the instinct for refusing to grow, and eventually they can bear the responsibilities of adulthood, while a few people resist failure and mental age retention. At an early age, it is completely impossible to cope with the life of an adult.
The mother's meaning to the child is tolerance and support. Although the mother in the film is weak, she has the instinct to protect the child. With her support and protection, the child survived. (So you can’t just deny your parents. If you deny them, you can negate a part of yourself. The mother image represented by the heroine still plays a key role.)
The naive personality (male hero) in the film can't resist the subconscious instinct to refuse growth. , Was completely seduced by its temptation, but its inferiority made it impossible to truly achieve the goal of eliminating other personalities, and was finally defeated by the object image (female protagonist) and growth instinct (child and the shining) that still have the characteristics of maternal love.
Black chefs are more similar to the intervention of psychological counselors, helping the promising side of the personality, and building a space for them to grow-send a car, of course, growth is also very difficult-heavy snow blocking the road.
It's just because this movie has some associations, it's not a comprehensive and objective evaluation of the movie itself. In addition to this association, each role can be analyzed as an independent individual.
In addition, from the perspective of true personality health, one personality should not be allowed to disappear (the male lead dies). In the personality structure of an individual, each personality has its constructive meaning. For the naive personality, understanding and The way of acceptance, recognition that it is a part of oneself, not disgusting, rejecting, or indulging, can we achieve a truly healthy personality integration.
