The kerosene lamp also shook

I remember that when I was in the third year of junior high school, my grades were okay, but I was optimistic and outgoing on the surface, but I was extremely vulnerable, sensitive and unconfident inside. One day I had a fight with my girlfriend, and H suddenly started approaching me. He always had a kind of restraint that made people feel bad and polite to me. He always told me that my former friend Balabala was bad, he was excellent, and then he would Talk about me and say how good I am. I really feel like this is a nice guy. then. Later, I worked hard step by step to become better, but he gradually fell in the bitterness of others all day long. He's still trying to elevate himself, but things are starting to sour. In the end, his attitude towards me changed from licking the dog to being a thorn every day. He started saying bad things about other friends around me more and more, and I started getting more and more malicious things because of some things I never said and actions that I never had, and he started telling me how much he was hurt. Welcome, you are so unpopular, it is a blessing for me to be with you all the time, but I will not give up your mentally retarded remarks. To put it simply, he isolated me from my original environment, and I believed what he said at the time that I would have no friends without him.

I began to be alienated by the people around me, my image became corrupt and stench, and then I was even more moved to have such a "friend". Really stupid!

My grades started to drop, I started to get restless, and I felt guilty for all the faults, shortcomings, mistakes around me, even if it had nothing to do with me.

Until one day, he failed the test and suddenly blew his anger on me. I also failed the test that time. The good guy lz has been so bad, why are you still angry with you? Come on. But lz is not the villain. I was expressionless when I ate with him at noon? He suddenly started to get angry and said, I won't eat with you. I gave him a huge middle finger, and I muttered stupid * in my mouth, and I started to say it out louder and louder. Then walk away. This time it was like a ceremony, a ceremony for me to break up with him. Really cool to think about it now. Later, when I started to clear up the misunderstanding with my friends, I realized how stupid I used to be. In fact, I realized later that I was rather surprised by the gaslighting effect, and I began to look for opportunities to escape, but it was a surprise that everything went so smoothly.

Later, I began to dive into my heart to study hard and try my best to calmly look at the world. Everything is fine! There's nothing as bad as that. The popularity has gradually returned, and the results have come up again. That thing suddenly started approaching me again, and labor and management ignored you. I replied with my status.

Now a word is very hot, called "PUA", very close to the gaslighting effect. Many girls are brave enough to speak out, but few males speak out, and sometimes they have to be sprayed to death inexplicably when they speak out. But in fact, I want to say that this thing does not distinguish between gender, age, occasion, status, it can be in same-sex or opposite-sex relationships, Between students or in the workplace, or between teachers and students or in the employment relationship. PUAs of whatever type and form should not be allowed and supported, they should be killed and run away. I'm also very grateful for that thing. If it weren't for him, I wouldn't be able to grow up so fast now, and he wouldn't be seen through by everyone, so he was helpless to be alone.

When I watched this movie, I was really angry and wanted to vent, so I took out my mobile phone and scolded while watching it. It is said that I have typed so many words, haha. Not everyone who gets PUA has a heroine as lucky as me. But please make sure these people crawl out of the swamp, sooner or later. Bergman's acting skills really have nothing to say, otherwise I wouldn't be so angry, after all, relying on the ministry to seal the queen. Although she acts the same in everything, but the last play is really amazing. The male protagonist is very suitable to play the villain. The shaking of the gas lamp hints at stealing secrets, deepens the heroine's self-doubt, and at the same time symbolizes the man's control over the heroine, which is quite clever.

Strictly speaking, this is not a movie review, but it is really the most intuitive feeling and the most immediate memory that this movie brought me.

May the world be free of PUAs
