in the name of depression

It was almost a month after watching it before I overcame procrastination to write a review.

You see, I was a procrastinator, and now I'm a procrastinator. You used to be depressed, now you are depressed. The only way to solve problems in modern society is to name everything and tell you he already knows why, but how can you not be depressed? Sorry, scientists shrugging, that's your own problem.

To be honest, I don’t really believe that modern medicine claims that depression has organic lesions, but many obvious psychological reasons have been suppressed by the scientific unification of the country and dare not speak out. Since the triumph of the Industrial Revolution, we have finally been freed from the shackles of witchcraft and religion, and psychology in particular has reigned supreme for a while. In this sense, it is somewhat understandable that modern people, such as Feng Dao, who have suffered from depression and psychotherapy, rely on movies to relieve his mental distress.

The plague-like mental illness attacked Justin played by K, the excellent copywriter of the advertising company (the advertising company is really the bottom sediment of the unscrupulous industry), the luxurious wedding, the honorable guests, the benevolent person, but the soul is not left. The huge golf course under the huge starry sky, looking at each other, makes it even more obvious that any modesty is a joke. No matter how luxurious the clothes are, it is just a mere tiny body with a urine bag and a fecal bag. Human ethics, social relations, and love contracts are all too weak to justify in the face of indifferent and ruthless laws of nature.

Illness is just a signal, the mind has become weak under heavy exploitation and pressure, and there are many problems. There is no flaw in his body, but he can't get up in the morning, and he can't sleep at night. The dark universe reflects the fear in his heart, and there are tragedies under his eyes. The tears can't dry, but the blood is still flowing.

Here, the director gave the depressed patient the power of psychic power. It seems that she is the only one who has insight into the truth of the world and destroys all hope. When his civilization came to an end and he could no longer find a way out of entanglement, his brother-in-law, who believed in science, was the first to commit suicide by taking poison. Sister Charlotte, who could not believe that the end of the world was really coming, was so grief-stricken. self. It is the ignorant child and the sister who is at ease to die, making a fragile tree house, a symbol of human self-deception.

Many people think that the director is too hypocritical to kill chickens with a bull's knife, and those who may have skin pains will inevitably overreact. It is also a deep distrust and cynicism about modern achievements. Depression is a recourse to destruction from the outside world. Anti-c is exaggerated and goes to deep and dark witchcraft to find a basis, and smears female power for no reason. In the film, K used the paintings of Bruegel and others to cover up the cold abstraction and rationality, and also expressed the director's questioning and attitude towards civilization's powerlessness.

The sensitive mind is so depressed, it seems that in our universe overflowing with thermal entropy, it is called destruction when it sees a future that will eventually become a dead silence. The so-called asteroid is of course symbolic, but if you think about it, it is really not bad. All this inversion of logic, delusions of life, all the noise and disturbance, and self-destruction, are all ridiculously absurd.
