psychodrama

The nurse looks after an actress who has psychological problems, but the nurse herself has psychological problems. She was a troubled person, and art gave her comfort. She believes that the artist who creates art must also have the deepest compassion for human beings. Take care of an artist and reveal yourself to her. Made her feel involved and shared with the art itself. However, what artists lack most is the fresh and honest love for human beings. They can observe, analyze and create not because they are too enthusiastic, but because they are too indifferent. She was humiliated by the fact that the nurse was the subject of the artist's analysis. However, the nurses themselves are not innocent and not entirely the victim. In front of the artist she thought would understand her, she had the desire to speak, and she also fulfilled the desire to speak. In addition to dredging her desires, she also hopes that the artist can treat herself and her the same, and she thinks she is qualified. As for why you think you are good enough? I think it's because she feels that she is as neurotic as an artist. To put it mildly, she has the same subtle sense of touch to test the external environment. It's just that the artist didn't take her seriously at all, and the artist thought they were far apart. The artist observes the nurse in a very superior state of mind, as he observes a thing.
The nurse had a contest with the artist. The artist's silence made her feel hurt and made her feel small and worthless. And the artist, who considers her pain superior and her silence a privilege, does not allow anyone to force her to speak. Both women were manly, both were aggressive, and both smoked. The two women are very similar to each other. The tendentious language of the film reveals the reasons for the artist's silence. The reason is that she cannot face her indifference. At the beginning of the film, the doctor also made an analysis, thinking that it was because the actors were caught in the huge contrast between the stage and reality, which led to the crisis of identity confirmation. The two have something in common.
Vanity, indifference, cocooning. This is the character of the characters in the film.
The film is fascinating because I like to peep into people's hearts. The silent actress, the exhibitionist nurse, are all characters that attract people for psychological exploration. But, the problem is that the characters themselves are empty and boring, so the answers are boring. I'm not a very conservative and rigid audience, and I'm not keen on the pursuit of so-called essence, meaning and value. I just think that since the film wants to show something about people, it can't use boring people as the protagonists. Two women have no life, no content, that's a problem.

    A masterpiece among masterpieces, a large amount of limited space creates the extreme of black and white movies, the blankness of words, the fear of being replaced, are people verifying and coexisting with each other, or self-evidence and self-existence? Are you talking to others, the other person or yourself?

    Masked Twins Mulholland Drive... First of all, is fed up with the naive binary structure of Westerners. Secondly, if you can’t express it, you beat the table, don’t speak, you are surprised, you quote old movies, you stick to your hands, you shoot beautifully, you mobilize sexual elements, and you intensify the relationship between characters, either hysterical or formal. Presumptuous words, the director is really willful. A good movie transcends personal emotions and circumstances, and can replace a death with a single line.
