I just finished watching this documentary carefully, and thought seriously about my own social subservience. Before that, I always thought that I was a very selfish person. No matter what I did, I would follow my own ideas, such as learning musical instruments, bleaching and dyeing hair, and making friends. It's my own decision to consider. But after watching Darren Brown's psychological magic, I began to be shaken. In fact, my social submissiveness is very strong. Take one thing as an example. I was very opposed to the profession of teaching in the future since I was a child, but my family gave it to me in junior high school. I instilled the concept of being a teacher in the future, and I refused until the third year, but in the third year we began to face the problem of teaching resources, and then to the question of the direction of the postgraduate entrance examination. I used the recommendation of my classmates and the choice of my friends. In the past, I was more and more inclined to take the education test, and even had the idea that I would definitely become a teacher in the future. The whole film ends with Darren Brown's line: You can push back. I have no idea about myself, I don't even know myself, I have a wide range of interests but I can't focus, I can't tell you what I love right now? How can I push back? For what I really like, I don't even have the courage to take a step. Self-denial and self-doubt have created my social subordination. So should we all start thinking about what we want?
