Don't be scared off by the title,
it's an adaptation of "The Therapy of Dr. Tarr and Professor Fisher."
A short story from 170 years ago,
beloved by screenwriters of all ages, and
still charming to this day.
People take pride in civilization,
and this, perhaps,
is a collective unconscious conspiracy.
Society is the
mirror of the wind and moon. The front of the mirror is
the rules that people have set for this society regarding spirit, thoughts, and thinking;
the back of the mirror
is the spirit, thoughts, and thinking that are outside these rules.
Actively or passively,
people walk across the front of the mirror
and are given "normal and right,"
or "civilized and happy."
Active or passive,
there are always people behind the mirror
who are identified as "abnormal and incorrect,"
or "uncivilized and unhappy,"
or a simpler and cruder label:
"crazy," or "mental" .
People in ancient times rejected this group of "cursed people",
medieval civilization adopted persecution;
science after the Renaissance and the Industrial Revolution
considered it a disease that needed treatment,
and forced imprisonment in the name of treatment;
200 years ago Pinel, a Frenchman,
tried to remove the chains from the "mental patient" and
turned the "madhouse" into a "hospital".
However,
the "mentally ill" may no longer be the enemy,
But still not "people".
Entering the 20th century,
science recognized madness as a natural phenomenon, and
psychiatry displayed its condescending fraternity.
Civilization continues to advance, and
society continues to diversify.
More and more ordinary people,
in the face of eccentricities and the
difficulties of the world,
look at the world behind the mirror,
where there is all the beauty and darkness in the world in front of the mirror,
but there is also the world in
front of the mirror. There is no talent in the world,
and freedom of mind.
A strange hospital,
a strange order,
who is the patient?
Who needs treatment?
Who's genius?
Who's the lunatic?
A person on the back of a mirror
falls in love with a person on the back of the mirror.
He escapes from one "treatment" and
comes to another "treatment"
just to take his lover,
and then, together with her,
give up the treatment... ...
