There are three translations for movies.
Soul Shifting Girl confuses me and solves it.
"Breakpoint Girl" is a literal translation, but Breakpoint has a value judgment in it. The underlying meaning is that SUSANNA has gone astray. They are not on the right track. This means that life has a standard right track. Obviously this is a fallacy. Except for some basic judgments in the life path, such as Lisa should not have driven Daisy to death in cold blood, there is no standard answer for the rest.
"The Imprisoned Girl", human nature needs to be released. But when it is released, it is also a question that we need to consider. If LISA only released that part of Satan, man would not be man.
2. LISA is different.
Many people will think that SUSANNA is different from other girls. Just like the black head nurse's evaluation of SUSANNA: "You're just a lazy, wayward little girl, you want to drive yourself crazy.", standing in the care of a mental patient for many years, living in the murder of Martin Luther King Jr. For a black woman who has achieved a decent life in the era and the night classes, this evaluation is to the point and reflects her own aspirations. For this evaluation, I can only say that each individual person has his own personality, which also determines that she cannot be fully understood by others. In life, we are playing SUSANNA, seeking understanding, but we are playing the role of black nurses, using our own lives to understand the lives of others. So in the eyes of black nurses, SUSANNA is just a little girl who wants to drive herself crazy.
Secondly, Polly, who was disfigured by self-immolation as a child, Daisy, who had an incestuous relationship with her father (the suicide can be inferred from her listening to Lisa's words), and Georgina, a liar obsessed with the fairy tale "The Wizard of Oz", are they mentally ill?
If polly is because of strong She was sent to a mental hospital because of her self-harm tendencies, which is obviously reasonable, and she does have a problem. But judging from the incomplete information in the film, it is more likely that she came here because of her pain after self-destruction rather than self-injury tendencies.
Is Daisy a psychopath? Of course, I'm not a psychiatrist or a psychologist, but from a common sense, "environment determines people". If Daisy grew up with a father who had a love affair with a daughter, he would not eat buffets, only chicken, and show off that he has What is unreasonable in all this if there is no companion, even Electra? It was her father who should be in the mental hospital, not her.
Georgina herself is a liar, and the film doesn't show much about how she lies, but there is some obvious dependence on LISA. When she went to the doctor's office, Lisa slapped her mercilessly because she turned on the light. She didn't resist with the expression of a child doing something wrong. And at the end of the play, Lisa is going to inject herself with something (obviously it's not good, but I didn't know what it is), she cried and said please no (of course, this scene is a bit weird, Georgina is standing behind, Lisa The act of wanting to inject is so small, I don't know how Georgina saw it). From this point of view, she at least has a tendency to rely on authority.
But in my understanding, they are not mentally ill, but their own historical environment determines the problems they face in their lives.
In fact, among all the girls, only Lisa is different. The difference between Lisa is not that she always rebels against doctors, that she resists treatment, or that she is a little rambunctious, these are not problems, even the point of view she insists, ruthlessly tearing people's wounds open, that is, always Some people say this, and this view is correct to a certain extent. It is true that the world sometimes does not need to be whitewashed. If some people have such firm beliefs and strong psychology to be a fighter who sees through lies, this is their choice and their freedom. When Lisa used piercing calm and irony to tear apart the beauty of Daisy's disguise, I even suspected for a moment that Lisa was saving her.
Of course, humans have always struggled with whether the nature of things should be judged by motives or consequences. In terms of representation, Lisa is tearing Georgina's scars, and there are two possible motives: saving her or forcing her out of jealousy. Regardless of the motive, there are two possibilities for the result: saving her or forcing her to death.
First of all, this is a movie where the director clearly expresses Lisa's motives in this matter, no matter what the outcome is (as discussed above, there may be a good outcome), Lisa is pushing Georgina to death. When I discuss this issue, I want to say that in real life, we cannot judge people by their motives. How can we judge the motives of others? So this cannot be a standard. And we can only judge by the results: good and bad. Then we judge by the result: lisa brought the worst result in this matter.
But that's not what makes lisa different from all girls.
The real reason lies in how lisa behaves after Georgina's death. The real reason lies in what SUSANNA said in one sentence: because you are already dead.
Yes, Lisa's heart is dead. She is so indifferent to the most precious life, not to mention everything else: hospital, nurses, friends, rules, society...
This also became the reason why SUSANAN broke with LISA.
What is madness and what is confusion
As mentioned above, LISA and SUSANNA are different.
But why do doctors and nurses see them as the same under the hospital system?
Because they behave the same. On the issue of comforting POLLY, the doctors seem to be breaking the rules, LISA may just be out to satisfy SUSANNA, and SUSANNA is a real out of love, like yelling at black people in the bathtub : We are comforting her.
Undoubtedly, the hospital system is problematic. But in this matter, we can distinguish between madness and confusion.
If our society’s standards for judging people and things are solidified, for example, if we want to comfort our patients, we need to use sleeping pills for dizziness care, so as to judge us crazy, then this “madness” is derived from “madness standards” and “madness rules” from.
The director only gave two paths
Susanna came to the mental hospital in a taxi, two opposites appeared, and two paths appeared: Lisa's deviance, or she believed that she was sick and cooperated with doctors and nurses. Obviously, Susanna thought she was not sick at first, and had a strong resistance to the hospital. So she is getting more and more in tune with lisa.
But the director made a logical error.
To put it in a simple and perhaps inappropriate way: lisa is wrong, but it doesn't prove that the hospital is right.
That is, susanna broke with Lisa, which cannot be the reason why she chose the hospital, chose to cooperate, and chose to "repent".
As mentioned above, I don't think susanna is sick, I don't think psychology can explain everyone, and I don't think people can't be labeled with liars, borderline personality, and anti-social.
At the end of the movie, I feel a little bit of a follow-up.
There should be a third way, not Lisa, nor the hospital. but susanna itself.
