The root of Yingjun's illness obviously started from childhood. At that time, her grandmother, probably because she was too lonely or some other reason, became a mouse, who only ate pickled radishes all day, and only had one hobby, listening to the radio. broadcast. Yingjun's relatives didn't understand the old man at all, they only accuse Yingjun's grandmother of eating pickled radishes, which made the whole house smell weird, and also said that listening to the radio gave them a headache, and smashed the radio that Yingjun finally repaired. .

Later, Grandma Yingjun was sent to a mental hospital. The person in white did not take Grandma Yingjun's dentures with her. Since her grandmother was a mouse, she only liked to eat radishes, but she couldn't eat them without dentures, so Yingjun couldn't eat them. Jun desperately stepped on the bicycle to chase, but of course he couldn't catch up. At that time, the fantasy began, "If I were a robot, I would be omnipotent. Why can't I still?... Because of the lack of electricity."

Later, the poverty of life made Yingjun's life as above. The robot-like monotony of the strips, especially as an assembly line worker in a factory, the step-by-step work reinforces the robot illusion in the heart. Finally, one day, Young-jun turned himself into a robot, cut his wrists, plugged in the wires, and charged.

The hatred for the people in white still lingers in Yingjun's heart, but she is too sympathetic to kill people. "Those people in white also have grandma, and their grandma will be sad."

It just so happened that she found out that there is a mental patient in the mental hospital who is very good at stealing things. So she begged the lunatic to steal her sympathy. Therefore, Park Il-soon, a neurotic who is good at stealing, began to observe Young-kun, because "before stealing, you have to observe carefully". After he stole Yingjun's sympathy, Yingjun killed all the white-clothed people in the mental hospital in his fantasy, revealing the old hatred in his heart.

However, Yingjun has far more serious problems. Since she felt like a robot, and of course robots didn't have to eat, she was starving to death. The methods in the mental hospital are very simple and rude. Electric shocks, nasal insertion and nutrient solution, anyway, are only a temporary solution. This aroused strong dissatisfaction with Yi Shun, he began to understand Yingjun's heart step by step, and ingeniously made a rice energy converter, which was cleverly installed in Yingjun's body and tricked her into eating.

The problem of eating has been solved, but the problem of treating yourself as a robot has not been solved. So, Yishun finally made Young-kun give up the idea of ​​being a robot because he couldn't detonate the atomic bomb.

From the plot point of view, it is obvious that some are not strict enough, especially the last part. From the perspective of psychotherapy, I am afraid that this method may not be consistent with medical principles. But what the film is about is basically done, so this small flaw didn't have a fatal impact.

From the movie's point of view, the reason why Yingjun becomes neurotic is that she cares too much about other people's feelings. Therefore, when the movie talks about the seven deadly sins of neurosis, the first one is sympathy, and then the others.

And how did Yishun heal Yingjun? It is because his emotional intelligence is too strong that he can fully enter Yingjun's world, find where his heart is, and prescribe the right medicine to cure the disease.

So it can also be said that only neuropathy can understand neuropathy. If you want to cure a neuropathy, be careful that you become a neuropathy.
