What effect can childhood trauma have on a person "who is awake but unable to move"?
This is an interesting question.
As a counselor, I can understand the impact childhood trauma can have on a person.
For example, the protagonist in this film was bullied when he was a teenager, forced by the pressure of gangsters, and also because of his cowardice, after allowing an imbecile to die in an abandoned factory tunnel.
What kind of psychological reaction does the average person have? Self-blame, guilt, anger, low self-esteem, depression, etc., may affect a lifetime. One direction is to become more cowardly and full of guilt; the other direction is to become brave and dare to resist. Either way, the trauma will always be there.
What about a patient with locked-in syndrome? What about a person with a clear mind but an immobile body?
It turned into a good show!
It turns out that the three ghost stories that are completely different from the movie are all imagined by the protagonist's extremely boring and highly active brain in bed!
The first story is that in the ruins of an uncle, he met a little girl "ghost" who was always looking for her father.
The second story is that a boy who always lied and was disliked by his parents drove into a "creature" without a driver's license, and then ran away.
The third story is that the wife of a successful man was delayed in giving birth to a child, and then she finally became pregnant but was stillborn, and it may have been one corpse and two lives. Man imagines haunting in empty mansion, imagines his child is an evil spirit, then commits suicide.
In fact, these three stories all have a main line hidden in the dark, children.
The child runs through the unfinished plot of the protagonist's life.
My annoyance and expectation for the unborn child became the little girl in the first story.
My disgust and anger towards my cowardly self when I was a child became the second story in which I killed someone else (actually my psychological self)
His own disappointment with this life (including his own cowardice and lack of children) turned into suicide in the third story.
To paraphrase Freud, this is called fantasy. That is to say, the uncomfortable things in the subconscious are expressed in the way of daydreaming in the head, and the discomfort (actually anxiety) has been released.
Funny movie, very psychological, very traumatic, very Freudian.
