Uterus room

After watching the movie, just think of a few points. Let’s enumerate in fragments. This film does not describe a kidnapping and imprisonment incident as an escape film. It is half the success. The outstanding performance of the Golden Globe and I think the performance is not weaker than that. The natural acting skills of young adult actors push the film to a higher level.

Judging from Jack’s age, his inner exaggerated self lacks idealized self-object perfusion due to the living environment and other reasons. The sense of omnipotence lasts longer than ordinary children. Although the imprisoned room is small, it is very satisfying. With his sense of omnipotence in controlling the whole world, when his mother told him that there was actually a bigger world outside, Jack's overreaction was a rage after the omnipotence was destroyed. Jack's attachment to his mother in the movie can be explained as the continuation of the Oedipus complex or a sense of omnipotence.

Jack, who is in the development stage of the pre-computing period, does not have good logical abstract thinking ability. It is difficult to connect the substance in the TV to the actual substance, and it is also more difficult to equate two substances with different forms but the same essence (such as The same milliliter of water is placed in cups with different diameters. Children in this period cannot judge the fact that the amount of water is the same).

In addition, the details of the movie are very sophisticated. For example, the person who imprisoned the heroine was afraid that she would hurt and commit suicide (mainly hurting people). The blade of the fruit knife was removed, and there were no scissors in the room to cut Jack's hair.

The movie is still guided in the direction of "positive energy". For example, it seems that Jack's grandmother and new grandfather can pay attention to Jack's needs in time, and can achieve appropriate empathy, so that Jack can find idealized self-objects again. , Complete unfinished mental tasks.

As for why the name of this film review is called the womb room, it is because this room makes me suddenly think of the womb, a place that does no harm to the child but also makes the child feel almighty (Yilai stretches out his hand to open his mouth).
