Feeling key word 1: There is
almost no coherent plot in the sick film, only one heart to heal one by one, and only one sick person. Yes, everyone is sick, and this mystery was revealed by the glasses man who sold marijuana and became a "psychiatrist" for a psychiatrist: "everyone gots his problems". Depressed by the suicide of his wife, a psychiatrist who uses marijuana as an antidote; a gold medal producer with severe cleanliness and panic disorder (I'm not sure if he is panic disorder or fear); suspects that he is a sex addict is actually a drug addict Jack, the old star of the drinker; Jemma, a girl who is withdrawn and irritable because of her memory of her deceased relatives; and the narcissistic boyfriend of actress Kate... Everyone has his own disease. The magic is that when the film ends, everyone's heart disease is inexplicably cured, including Dr Garter.
One of the lines that stood out to me was when Dr Garter was in the car buying marijuana from the man with glasses and doing "counseling" "She (Jemma) needs someone to tell her that everything is going to be alright, the world is a good place, but I do. not." Dr Garter has a strong sense of powerlessness towards his clients (also called clients, in the film, he likes to call his clients clients), which he also expressed when he played simulated golf with the glasses man. Feeling, this condition seems to be called Compassion Fatigue Syndrome (the term refers to the Internet).
There is another doubt. When Dr Garter told his father about his dreams, it was easy to infer that his old father was also a psychiatrist. At this time, he was helping Dr Garter with psychotherapy. The interpretation of dreams should belong to the psychodynamic school of psychoanalysis (I am not sure), but in the therapeutic relationship, it is clearly pointed out that the client cannot be a friend or relative, which will seriously affect the therapeutic effect. The rules did not do their homework. There is a suspicion of accidentally misleading the audience.
Feeling keyword 2: Loneliness
not only everyone is sick, but everyone is lonely. I don’t know whether it is because of loneliness or because of illness.
The soothing and sad background music is matched with the slow-paced long shots. In the film, we can see their lonely figures everywhere and feel their lonely mood. Dr Garter is definitely the loneliest of all. He wakes up from a hangover on a reclining chair outside. Fortunately, he is always with the puppy named August (although August later fell ill and died He left, but August accompanied him in the most painful and lonely days in his life, and the departure of August was also an opportunity for his heart disease to recover), the pause when he shaves in the morning, and the bedroom before he goes out. At the moment of staring at him, every time he smokes marijuana while hiding outside the information room, the fragility and loneliness of this man are completely displayed in front of our eyes. At these times, he is not a psychiatrist, he is just a In grief, I miss a lonely man who has lost a lover, a man who suffers from mental illness and needs marijuana to numb his pain. The problem girl Jemma is undoubtedly lonely. Her friends are the ticket stubs of the movies she once watched with her mother on the ceiling. Until she has real friends, she can scatter these ticket stubs into the sky with relief. A gold-medal producer with serious cleanliness and panic disorder, but also invincible, such a person is destined to be lonely, unless he changes himself, or cures his disease, by the end of the film, he is indeed "healed", although still occasionally It makes people feel a little flat, but it is also quite cute. He has become kind, and he has begun to really care about the people and things around him, and he has become a warm and complete heart. Hollywood female star Kate also makes people feel lonely, lonely and strong. Although she has a boyfriend, her narcissistic and romantic boyfriend not only can't let her get rid of loneliness, but makes her more difficult. I always feel that she and Dr. Something should have happened between Garter, as if a little love didn't happen to the male lead, it made me take it for granted. I am more puzzled why the Hollywood male star character Shamus in the film is not a patient of Dr Garter, since everyone is a patient of Dr Garter, there is not more of him. Shamus is obviously not a normal and healthy person, and his loneliness can also make people feel very strongly, lonely and helpless, with a girl who doesn't love him (perhaps he doesn't love her either, each gets what he needs) That's it), filming movies that I don't like, being riddled with scandal reports, and escaping to a "paradise" where you can throw away your troubles and seek pleasure, and be accompanied by marijuana. Fortunately, in the end, lonely and helpless, he has the care of his recovered manager. I believe that he will recover without consulting Dr. Garter.
Feeling Keyword 3: Happiness
"Happiness is a word that expresses feelings. This feeling is difficult to perceive in an instant, and it is fleeting and difficult to recall." This classic line comes from the psychological TV lecture by Dr Garter at the beginning of the film. The show is a piece of shit that Dr Garter called bullshit. However, I think this sentence is good. Although it is vulgar, life needs such vulgarity, isn't it? Even the film finally entered a vulgar happy ending.
From some American movies in the past, I got such an experience. In the upper class of the United States, everyone seems to have a certain connection with each other. You can always know people in another circle through your circle, and then through You know someone else, and that person turns out to be someone you know... Anyway, in American high society, everyone is connected and known to each other. The same is true for "shrinks". In the upper-class society in the United States, the more specific point in the film can be said to be in Hollywood, where everyone can have a relationship through so-and-so, which also creates a happy ending at the end of the film: in the cleanliness brokerage Under the auspices of the people, everyone shook hands and reconciled, and created an excellent new script; the girl Jemma, accompanied by XX, also threw the ticket stubs into the air and waved goodbye to the past; the diligent and kind female assistant Daisy realized her own. The dream of being a producer, and a beautiful love story with a poor and honest boy who also realized the dream of a screenwriter; Dr Garter buried the loyal August, experienced a catastrophe, and was reborn, and began to be healthy and beautiful without marijuana Live, and even smell a touch of love in the ambiguous conversation with Kate (I hope I don't have to see you again, in the name of counseling).
"I hope not to see you again" may be what Dr Garter wants to say to every counselor and friend. Although it is a psychiatrist's strict professional rules not to have personal feelings with clients, Dr Garter obviously does not strictly follow the professional rules, but we The movie needs a human touch, and it would be a pain to watch a Hollywood movie with a professional eye.
"The first step towards happiness is always the most difficult". The forgotten famous saying in his own book was finally verified in the film. Everyone walks out of pain and entanglement through inner remodeling and baptism. , take big steps towards happiness.
PS: shrink, an informal nickname for psychiatrist (psychiatrist, psychiatrist), originally derived from "headshrinker". Legend has it that in ancient times, in wars, the victor would shrink the opponent's brain and store it in the air, and what the psychiatrist did was to persuade the client not to think wildly, that is, shrink the patient's head. Guys whose profession is to heal people's hearts have a lot of psychological problems themselves, so the word shrink, as a nickname for the profession of psychiatrist, has a slightly sarcastic meaning.
