I have been paying attention to psychology-related movies in the past few days, and I feel more and more that psychology is so interesting. The film itself is a highly dramatic and symbolic form of expression. When psychology and film come together, they inevitably show some more extreme psychological phenomena, such as split personality, schizophrenia, extreme violent tendencies, etc. .

"Deadly ID" refers to the self-dream of a person with a very serious personality split. There are more than 10 personalities with different "gender", "character", "occupation" and "appearance" in one body. An unbelievable thing. The key is when this body commits a crime under the control of one of the personalities, should this body be punished, because this is tantamount to punishing several other innocent personalities at the same time.

This may be a legal question, and I basically know nothing about law. However, another film, "First Degree Fear," touched on this issue again, this time with only two different personalities, but managed to help a murderer escape the death penalty. In this film, full of banter and satire of reality, the bishop, who is amiable and respectable in the eyes of the public, shoots pornographic videos in his apartment... The film tries to show the ugly part of human nature, For example, the inner demon who could not restrain "sex", but also "comforted" the audience, and let the drunk lawyer say that he defended the criminal because he was ashamed in his heart. You can faintly feel a little "conscience" of the fire. The director laughed, and a good movie came out.

In addition to split personality, let's look at schizophrenia. "A Beautiful Mind" is undoubtedly the most famous film in this regard, with its protagonist suffering from severe schizophrenia and winning the Nobel Prize in Economics. john. Nash, his Game Theory has greatly influenced every aspect of people's lives. Always being able to "see" many "things" that others can't see, fantasizing about working for the military, the protagonist's life has experienced countless difficulties. But in the end, he achieved self-transcendence, which is very commendable. Such a process can easily become a good inspirational theme. Strictly speaking, schizophrenia is a mental illness. For us normal people, these kinds of movies can attract a lot of eyeballs.

Back to the topic, let's look at another German film "das experiment". This is adapted from the real "Stanford Experiment" in history. The purpose is to study people's psychological conditions in extreme states through two groups of people playing prison guards and prisoners, which involves personality humiliation, coercion, and even sensory deprivation ( black box detention). In the film, such experiments eventually evolve into outright, direct violence. The result of this extreme condition is that the huge pressure has hedged the influence of the experimental reward. Both the "prison guard" and the "prisoner" have fallen into a huge madness, completely entangled rationality and chaos, and finally It can only be "severed with one sword" by means of violence.

There are too many types and numbers of psychological films, and they themselves are actually a manifestation and application of psychology. In fact, all movies are like this. According to the theory of movie psychoanalysis, moviegoers generally have "voyeurism", that is, watching movies to satisfy the idea of ​​peeping into other people's lives. This life is divided into two parts, the behavioral life and the spiritual life, the latter is undoubtedly more difficult to "peep" and therefore more attractive. Psychological films obviously greatly satisfy this desire to "peep" into the spiritual life of others, and the more extreme and unimaginable it is, the easier it is to get attention, and it often has a good reputation and box office.

Psychology movies are fascinating, and we should continue to pay attention.
