The Freudian Spirit of Two Little No Guess

I read Eagleton's passage about the Oedipus complex in "Western Literary Theory in the Twentieth Century", and finally started to read this book. An unknown senior recommended it to me the year before, but he never came back. . Then Professor Wang of Beijing Normal University also recommends him, not to mention his name, because it feels dangerous to call a scholar's name in a private space, and they all like to type their name into the search engine to gain academic status Great investigation.
Going too far, Eagleton says that Freud believed that pre-Oedipal boys were incestuous, and that the boy's close physical contact with his mother led him to an unconscious desire to marry his mother, This is the "two-in-one" relationship established between the child and the mother in the early days, and then the appearance of the father destroys this relationship and forms a triangular relationship. For a boy, the same-sex father will appear as a rival in his lust for the opposite sex.

Boys grow up to give up incestuous lusts for their mothers due to the threat of castration from their fathers. When the boy realizes that girls are "castrated" compared to boys, he falls into a deep fear that his father will inflict such a similar punishment on him if he continues to Mother keeps incestuous words. The strength of the father is revealed, or the threat is expressed in the boy's imaginary, so that the boy will give up his love for his mother in obedience. This incestuous love is suppressed into the unconscious. This is also the first time that human beings have opened up the unconscious. Pond to load this stuff. But the relationship between the boy and his father is not sharply contradictory, on the contrary, it is reconciling, because he perceives a male identity in his father, a father is a status, a destination of growth, the boy himself will become a father sooner or later, and sooner or later To have a woman like a father has a mother, except that his mother does not belong to him according to the "principle of reality".

Thus the boy overcomes the Oedipus complex.

"Two Little No Guess" is very suitable for this situation. I have seen this movie a long time ago. In the last class of this semester, I didn't know what to say, so I chose this to show them. After the evaluation, the multimedia effect is really good. It's a shame not to watch the movie. As a result, after reading it 5 times in a row, the students said they could not understand it. This semester, a teacher from the Department of Psychology played "Angel Amelie", which seemed to be for analysis. I don't know how he would deal with those unremarkable scenes. I cut it out and the students asked if they could find a chance to watch it. Lust and Caution, which shows that this is a practice that does not conform to public opinion.

Still far away. I think "Two Little Guess" is more suitable as an example of psychoanalysis. On the issue of Oedipus complex, this film is very similar. It can be seen that the producer did it deliberately. In fact, it was written here and not Not in line with the motives of literary criticism. Literary criticism seeks to find the unconscious motives in the author\text\reader\form structure, just like the doctor of traditional Chinese medicine does not want the patient to tell the symptoms, and he accurately describes it by looking, hearing, and asking.

But "Two Little No Guess" said that I was the disease. The method of psychoanalysis loses its meaning.

The movie opens with Julian's mother suffering from a terminal illness. Julian has a very good relationship with his mother, and it can be said that the driving force in his temperament is this Oedipus complex. His father is a strong symbol of patriarchy, always standing between him and his mother, not letting him get close to disturbing his mother, and not letting his mother tell him stories. Then Julian met Sophie. Sophie is the turn of Julian's repressed emotions, and although Julian reduces his dependence on Mom by getting closer to Sophie, this is still forbidden by Dad. Daddy's intention is to put Julian on his life track of becoming the next him, a "tyrant," which is the normal path for most boys to overcome the Oedipus complex. But Julian went to get close to Sophie. Sophie was a substitute for her mother, and her friendliness to Sophie was a variant of incest. Julian was like a marijuana smoker who changed to white powder, and naturally he could not get his father's understanding. So Dad didn't like Sophie in the first place.

At Sophie's sister's wedding, Julian and Sophie talked about their ideals at the long table. Julian said that when he grew up, he wanted to be a tyrant, and the tyrant was his father. He envied his father's male identity and found his own male identity. Then he and Sophie looked at each other's private parts, and he said in amazement, that's it? ! He has "castrated consciousness". After that, when his mother was critically ill, Julian stayed in the ward and said to Sophie, who was visiting him, "Let's go, Dad doesn't like you." I just said that Sophie was his Oedipus complex, but in fact this complex was later derived into the sum of all complexes that did not conform to the principle of reality. Such feelings are bound to be at odds with Dad's values, and that's how he rejected Sophie.

Later, later, later, a pendulum phenomenon began, in Julian's life choices, he always swings between Dad and Sophie, one is the life of a tyrant, the other is a life of rebellion that subverts the order of reality, and the latter is in his life It is with the Oedipus complex for his mother that his life begins.

So they end up buried in concrete graves. Mom is in the grave, Julian Sophie is in the grave, and there is a tin box in series between Mom, Julian, and Sophie, because they all committed "sin", cartoon jungle The original sin on the little Adam and the little Eve made them unable to tolerate the ruling order of the civilized society constructed by reinforced concrete.
