A nightmare for sci-fi fans

"The lucky man is healed by childhood, the unfortunate man is healed by childhood." - Alfred Adler, Austrian psychologist and psychopathologist

At the bottom of every man's heart is a little boy.

The male protagonist did not die, but the "alien" died. The heroine uses love to redeem the hero. The little boy was adopted by the heroine. Growing up, he became an astronaut.

- Non-linear narrative yo! believe it or not!

Yes, the same film, what you see and what I see can be different.

There are no political metaphors, just aesthetic tastes. Like this is a sci-fi movie and not any other kind of movie. The movie just happened to need an old photo as a background, and the director just wanted to use the character of the former Soviet astronaut to tell a story. There is no "totalitarianism", no biochemical weapons, no "Virgin Mary", no "banal evil", and no games of "brainwashing" and "anti-brainwashing". Only human nature.

- Are you allergic? More than 30 years have passed since the "Cold War"!

Male protagonist, "Alien" (monster) and little boy, "Trinity". In other words, there is no "alien" at all, the demon is created by people, it is just the embodiment of fear. Fear is rooted in childhood trauma. Although times have changed, but at the right moment, such as in a claustrophobic situation, the shadow will spread out silently in the body, and even turn into a terrible monster. The male protagonist's guilt towards his son is actually a reflection of the shame caused by childhood trauma.

Why? Because being in a confined space like this is enough to make him produce a lot of cortisol.

This is a sci-fi fan's nightmare! From it, we can see the shadow of many sci-fi films, such as: "Alien", "Alien Awakening", "Arrival", "Venom: Deadly Guardian" and so on.

This is a psychological film in a sci-fi coat, with a gloomy and warm temperament.

The male protagonist entered a psychiatric clinic because of a serious psychological condition...

The heroine is actually his psychiatrist. She keenly discovered the scars hidden in the subconscious of the male protagonist, and deconstructed and reorganized the painful memory by simulating returning to the male protagonist's childhood, so that the male protagonist was given a new life. She appears to be using psychoanalytic therapy. At the same time, the film also inadvertently reveals the curling religious thoughts.

In addition, a long scar on the back of the heroine can easily frighten the sensitive "abnormal powder"! The bloody broken back scene in "Alien: Covenant" instantly emerges! I think the director is here just to show that the heroine has also experienced unbearable pain in the past. She also encountered the "monster", and finally defeated it. She was no stranger to that kind of fear, so she dared to look directly. It does not necessarily mean that the "alien" in the film is directly related to the heroine.

If you still can't understand the mood of the male protagonist, you may wish to review the appearance of the actor Wang Ziwen back then.

Neuropsychological studies have shown that early childhood experiences greatly influence the structure of neural networks in the brain. Childhood trauma can lead to morphological and functional changes in brain regions such as the amygdala, hippocampus, and prefrontal cortex.

Developmental psychology believes that human attachment and independence are two sides of the same body, and the two complement each other. The love and companionship of parents is essential to the healthy growth of children. Intimate relationships help children build enough security and self-confidence to face the unknown world independently. Of course, overdoing it, coddling and overcontroling is often counterproductive.

A person's actual interpersonal relationships are the result of the outward projection of his inner object relationships. For children, the object relationship here can be loosely understood as parent-child relationship.

Children in single-parent families usually lack a close and inclusive growth environment, and their desires are not satisfied for a long time, which can easily lead to mental and personality disorders.

"A true warrior dares to face the bleak life and the dripping blood." (Lu Xun: "In Memory of Lord Liu Hezhen")

I feel sorry for Wang Ziwen for a minute! The little girl who was frightened and isolated and helpless in those days has come all the way to today and came to us, how much courage must it take! However, to this day, she still has to turn around and lick the wound: Who am I? from where?

This trauma may stay with her for the rest of her life and become a part of her life.

There was another European film last year about the story of a little girl with a single parent: Proxima . The protagonist is an astronaut mother.

Fortunately, there are no monsters in that little girl's world. And super healing!

It is especially recommended to the hero of the film, Comrade Konstantin Sergeyevich Vishnyakov.
