The plot is not complicated at all, depicting the feud between Freud, Jung and their female patient Sabina. There is not much content, and the plot is very compact and attractive. I only feel that the ending is over in a swish, and I still feel a little unfinished, although I was interrupted by my family a few times when I watched it.
Sabina is a very special woman. She is beautiful and intelligent. The reason for her illness is the conflict between her own masochistic (sexual) tendencies and her own ethical and moral education. She was sent by her father. Go to Jung for treatment. Jung's talk therapy for her allowed her to release her suppressed emotions, her condition improved markedly, and she finished university and made achievements in psychoanalysis. At the same time, they got to know each other and fell in love. Sabina Gan is Jung's mistress.
But things between the two were soon noticed by Jung's wife. Jung's wife is also very smart, beautiful, considerate, and more importantly, very rich, and can give Jung all the help he needs in his career and the luxury life of the upper class, so that Jung lives in a luxury villa and can take private rides. Sailboats roamed the beautiful rivers of Vienna, and travel was always first-class, allowing Jung to devote himself to his career without having to worry about money. His wife was so quiet that Jung gave up on the development of his relationship with Sabina. This made Sabina extremely distressed and her condition worsened, so she turned to Floyd for help. But Jung refused to admit the relationship between the two, saying that Sabina framed him, and gave Sabina a heavier blow. Later, at Sabina's urging, he confessed to Floyd - who was to him a father, mentor and confidant. Sabina had graduated from school at this time, received Freud's treatment, and at the same time became an excellent psychoanalyst. She let go of this relationship and got married and had children.
Later, Jung and Freud had serious academic disagreements that led to the severing of their relationship. This was a huge blow to both of them. And Jung's blow came more from Sabina, who turned to Freud in terms of academic views, and let go of her feelings for him, got married, and got pregnant. Jung, who began to give up voluntarily, found that his love was too deep to extricate himself from, and he suffered from insomnia for a long time. He found a female patient who was very similar to Sabina as his mistress, but found that it was difficult to make up for the loss brought by Sabina's departure. Emotional void. . .
It's such a simple story. . .
But this movie feels so human. There are many uncontrollable desires in human nature, but social ethics and real life make people have to suppress them. Some people are considered as mentally ill because of this, and those so-called normal people are really normal? Jung was reluctant to give up all that his marriage had brought him, which satisfied his greed for material things and a hypocritical response to pressure from society, while with Sabina, it was his own sexuality and sexuality. The desire to love is what makes oneself feel free and satisfied. Interestingly, he decided to stop suppressing this desire because the patient said to him: Don't leave without a sip of water when passing through the oasis. . . Later, Jung abandoned Sabina, and did not recognize the relationship between the two, for fear of affecting his reputation, which is the result of selfishness in human nature. So much so that he laments after seeing his beloved Sabina pregnant with someone else's child. . . All these plots make people feel that they are depictions of real people, whether right or wrong, it is human nature. . . Such a person is both hateful and cute.
Each of us, if judged by the worldly vision and the social ethics and morality of the era, may be sinful, and these sins are often caused by human factors, which are in the human bones and have nothing to do with the environment and education. Original sin as in Christianity. These things in human nature, if we suppress it, we will suffer and even get sick; if we do not suppress it, it will become a sin, the so-called sin in ethics. In fact, in many cases, people are convicted of crimes, because it is obvious that certain actions have different meanings in different cultures in different regions and times. Sometimes they are evil. The same is true.
This is some kind of contradiction that this world cannot resolve, and it is also the contradiction that causes people in this world to become distorted. Like, I forgot to hear that point of view, some people in mental hospitals may be one of the few normal people in the world who see the real world. . . Van Gogh and Monet seem to have been locked up in mental hospitals. . . But there is nothing we can do. Sometimes, I wonder why there are so many people in this world who are controlled by the ideology of some very backward feudal XX, without their own thoughts, like walking dead, but they are unaware of it, but blindly condemn and even blame Persecution of those who are somewhat free-thinking and independent. But I felt helpless, and there was nothing I could do to change it. So Freud said to Jung, we can only tell the patient that this is the way the world is, but we cannot change it, it is the duty of the doctor. This is our understanding of our own limitations.
Therefore, after watching this movie and having some thoughts, I may be more tolerant and understanding of the world and the people in this world, and I am also more important to myself. Take some pain out of yourself.
