I noticed a few very interesting images in the movie, which may have something to do with Professor Junk. The first is a bird. The professor raised a bird, and when it first appeared, it was a dead bird, which had a great relationship with the professor's image—rigid, imprisoned, and lifeless. The atmosphere of the class that followed was surprisingly unified. He has a strong desire to control students, and while he is "imprisoning" students, the dead classroom is also imprisoning him. The first time I took the class, I noticed an action of opening and closing the window, and the sound of music (the child's singing) appeared when the window was opened, which symbolized vitality and passion. Behind closed windows is the silent classroom, his abstinence and rigid real life. I think this action can be regarded as a symbol of the existence of the teaching id, but it is still suppressed, and he is not completely "pure" and "desireless". It's the same reason he goes to blow the dress on Lola's postcard, the world has been seducing him, he has found it but is still sane. Also related to the bird are the feathers on Laura's poster or something, which symbolizes the allure of a desire. Just like Laura herself (it looks like a slut, but is actually a vehicle for libido seeking satisfaction, the embodiment of desire). And it can also be the same reason that most people in the society at that time could not accept Laura. They were all suppressing the id with the superego (morality), and the Blue Angel was a liberating place. Then there is an evaluation and attitude of the police and the Academic Affairs Office (?) towards the garbage professor, which can be seen as the suppression of desire by a moral review mechanism. (There is a scene where Laura and the police sandwich the garbage professor really clearly) Of course, there are "birds" in Laura's songs, and this kind of bird is also a desire, and the object of desire (Laura's Song, even if it only loves you, what the only man is actually the whole audience) implies that the subconscious desire is that everyone has, it is seducing everyone. There is another one that I am very concerned about! There is a scene where the professor is in Laura's dressing room, and two of him appear in the mirror. This scene lasts for a long time. As if she was directly saying: "Id, superego, choose one." Laura's coming to kiss at this time is obviously a kind of temptation for the ego and a manifestation of its dominant position. Professor Junk's outcome is actually very much in line with Freud's notion of psychoanalytic therapy. He believes that psychoanalytic therapy is not simply to pursue and satisfy one's own sexual desires, but to choose a moderate solution between sexual indulgence and unconditional abstinence after the subconscious enters the conscious neighborhood. Obviously, the life before and after the garbage professor is two extremes, so neither can
This film is a bit cruel, but the character of Professor Garbage has a cuteness in his misery, and I have a good impression of him. The plot twist is a little stiff.
