what is it? What can lead a person to the idea of pretending to be an idiot?
what is it? What gives a person the courage to pretend to be an idiot?
what is it? What drives a person into acting like an idiot?
In the end, what keeps a person from pretending to be an idiot in front of the person he cares about the most?
With this question in mind, I watched the whole movie, and after the doubts dissipated, the gloom could not be dispelled for a long time. Lars von Trier used the most simple film language to express the deepest feelings in human hearts most vividly.
Idiots are nothing but protective clothing for this group of people who take advantage of people's passive sympathy for idiots to pay for their foolishness. Their pretending to be idiots is not just a personal act of madness, they have to place their behavior in and interact with normal social groups. Intentional fooling, deception, and pranking are all just to confirm the unintentional self-deception of this group of normal people.
What drives them to the point of pretending to be idiots? They must have suffered more than the mind can accept. The development of things was so far from their expectations that they could not accept the reality after suffering such an irreparable blow to their hearts. They had to put on the coat of idiots and choose to escape from reality or escape into the arms of religion to seek spiritual comfort and relief.
Not being able to pretend to be an idiot in front of the people I care about the most is because of love in my opinion! The reason why they are hurt is because they have placed a deep love on the thing that has been lost. Buddhists call it a heart-warming thought. After such a deep feeling is completely destroyed, there will naturally be a strong gap in the heart. The deeper this thought, the greater the gap you suffer! When the gap value reaches the maximum, human beings will lose their rationality, and their nerves will fall into an idiot state. The role of love is stronger than that of reason, so although people are on the verge of collapse, they can still stay awake in front of the people they care about most, but as the gap widens, the role of love will degrade. Once this boundary is crossed, the damage to the brain's nerves will become irreparable.
Dissatisfaction with the social system, unacceptable loss of a beloved child, etc., are enough to make the individual enter such an idiotic state to escape the pain in reality. Mysticism philosophy should study everything that is beyond the control of human beings. In addition to death, it should also save the souls struggling on the edge of life and death.
