On the role of physical appearance in Stockholm syndrome

Search for "Stockholm Syndrome" on Baidu, and you will see the following:

Taking hostages as an example, anyone can suffer from Stockholm Syndrome if the following conditions are met.
First, it is necessary for you to truly feel that your life is threatened, so that you can feel that it is not certain whether it will happen or not. Then I believe that this violent person will do so at any time without hesitation.
Second, this violent person will definitely give you a small favor. This is the most critical condition. Such as giving you water to drink in your various desperate situations.
Third, except for the information and thoughts he controls, no other information is allowed to you, completely isolated.
Fourth, it makes you feel that there is nowhere to escape.
With these four conditions, people will have Stockholm syndrome.

Generally, Stockholm syndrome goes through the following four major processes:

1. Fear: The current situation changes due to sudden intimidation and intimidation.
2. Fear: Shrouded in an uneasy environment, both physically and mentally are threatened.
3. Sympathy: Having been with the captor for a long time realized that the other party had no choice but to be'direct' harmed.
4. Help: Give the captor intangible help such as cooperation, not escape, comfort, etc.; or tangible help such as assisting in escape, interceding with the judge, and fleeing together.


It seems that the male protagonist has not succumbed to the female protagonist. It is already in the scope of Superman. There may be many reasons. Among them, he has a family.
And I guess it is mainly because the appearance of the heroine does not conform to his aesthetics, which has led to the failure to produce Stockholm syndrome for a long time.

For example, I am a person who is extremely prone to Stockholm syndrome. Even no matter the appearance of the imprisoned person is beautiful or ugly, I will eventually succumb and admire it, but if the imprisoned person is extremely ugly, it will take a long time.

I don’t know who suffers from Stockholm Syndrome, but if you have loved someone so much that you can’t live without them, you must imprison him/her.
People can be domesticated-Stockholm syndrome.

    Thrilling and exciting should look like this, the story is told slowly, but the audience is afraid to show the atmosphere on the other side of the screen...Kathy Bates's Anne is disturbing even if she smiles. Commendable.

    It's not easy for a thriller to make a MAKE SENSE, and Kathy Bates's post-blocking work is a bit slow
