Depression = cure?

Else 2022-11-12 18:32:49

When we were deeply immersed in the poisonous chicken soup for adults, BoJack Horseman, we could not extricate ourselves, only to find that we were getting farther and farther from the self who had been reminiscing for a long time for a delicious chicken soup for the soul. When the mood is depressed and low, breakup love songs, healing serenades are more suitable for us than loud electronic music.

I don't know when it started, depression has begun to assimilate with healing.

Dachshund [2016] (Station B: av6327226). #that poodle



named croissant was raped

The first story begins with a young boy who is recovering from a serious illness.

Remi and the Dachshund


In order to bring joy and hope to the little boy Remi, his father brought a dachshund on his own initiative, so this dachshund, which was not specially trained and neutered, became the fuse of the family.

The innocence and kindness of children make them full of curiosity about the world. In their eyes, everything in the world has its own thoughts. They have feelings like people and are afraid of pain. It is precisely because of this that when Remi intuitively thinks that neutering the dachshund is hurting it, he will shout out loudly: Run! Run, Wiener-dog, run!

The spayed dachshund looked down, and Remi's mood went down as well. The absurd plot followed: the mother told a story to comfort Remi, who was in a low mood. In the story, a poodle named Croissant was raped by a stray dog ​​because he was not neutered. The dirty dog The stray dog ​​named Mohammed.

This story is really embarrassing. In order to let the child understand the necessity of sterilization, the mother is serious nonsense. A short story has exposed the "distorted" view of a mother, her tone is so gentle, her expression is so kind, like a kind Virgin, but her words are so false and cruel. Especially when the little boy is not around, the mother's mouth full of foul language, and the scary face, everything is in stark contrast.

So, what about the end of the dachshund?

Because of Remi's mistake, the dachshund got enteritis and ended up being sent to a pet hospital for euthanasia.


#Let's go to ohio

. This is the second story, the poor dachshund was secretly taken away by this ugly and kind nurse. Lonely people often have a pair of discerning eyes, and they can always find the same lonely you in the crowd. This kind nurse is a lonely person, or a lonely person who looks like a dachshund.

By chance, she met Brandon, the boy who had a crush or admiration in her youth. After a brief conversation, she decided to take Doo Dee (the name of a dachshund, meaning shit) to Ohio with him. But no one thought that this journey actually had no purpose. Brandon's father had passed away and he wanted to inform his father's siblings and the younger brother who had Down syndrome.

en route to ohio


On the way, I met a group of wandering entertainers, and their words expressed the heart of the couple:

We prefer Mexico. In America, too lonely, too sad, too depressed, like a big fat elephant drowned in a sea of ​​despair.

Sometimes, the truth is so cruel. His father died because of alcoholism. His brothers and sisters didn't want to talk to him. Only the younger brother with Down syndrome greeted him. Brandon was afraid that his younger brother would not accept it. Tell him slowly, and finally the two hugged each other and cried. Because of the illness, both the younger brother and his wife are afraid of the eyes of others. They are also lonely people, and they only have family in their hearts.

In the end, Brandon said one thing that stuck with me: Both were sterilized.

Where will the car go? Lonely people are ready to go hand in hand.



#you must first have a "what if...then what"

The protagonist of the third story is a short and fat film professor.

Professor forced to attend event


The old man had written a trivial play earlier in the year and spent his time at school with it and a "what if...then what" theory. He has never forgotten to write the script, but he is often not favored by others. His body is red light because of his obesity, but he has no ability to change. He is frustrated, he is lost, and he is ridiculed by the students. He chose revenge.

Dachshund with a bomb


The professor is a lonely old man. The photo of his daughter and the phone call he refuses to answer in the film are all hints that he is an old man with no family and only a dachshund dog. He is devoted to his work but is not recognized by others. It was the foreshadowing of his choice of revenge.

It is unknown whether the teaching building was bombed in the end. What we know is that his theory that was ridiculed by the students ended up being his coolest line. Facing the police officer's question, the professor answered: what if I am? then what? (If it were me, what would happen?)



#I gave up all options, only Cancer

This is the last story of this film, granddaughter Zoe brought her boyfriend to visit her elderly grandma. The first greetings made the viewers unconsciously embarrassed. The grandchildren who had not seen each other for a long time looked like strangers. The irritable artist boyfriend’s swear words were frightening from time to time. The grandmother suddenly informed the granddaughter of the news of cancer... Everything seemed to be calm until her boyfriend went out to walk the dog. The purpose of the granddaughter's trip: to ask grandma for money.

Grandma walked into the room to write a check to her granddaughter. At this time, the granddaughter began to burst into tears, perhaps due to the interweaving of complex emotions such as guilt and grievance. In addition to the guilt that grandma had cancer but didn't know, there was also the grievance of discovering her boyfriend's infidelity, and the bitterness of life's hardships pouring out in an instant. Into the interruption, returned to the original indifference.

After the granddaughter left, the grandmother returned to her small yard and entered a dream... (Only then did she realize that the grandmother was not blind.)

The grandmother found out that

she saw her childhood self appearing beside her, more than one , but one after another, they represent the self who insists on engaging in art, the self who is married to true love, the self who chooses to forgive her mother, and the self who is full of kindness to her daughter... However, she gave up all these choices, and in the end there was only one left. Alone, with cancer.

It's all in vain, she can't go back to the past, the past can only let him go...

The cruelest scene in this film:


Dachshund (cancer) crushed multiple times


Seeing this, Fengchun unconsciously shed tears. Maybe the more cruel the ending is, the more impressive it will be. The death of the dachshund is also the ending of the whole movie.



#depression = cure?

From childhood to old age, the whole film is not only a tile of four stories, but also an overview of a person's life. There are many helpless things in life. From the beginning, we can’t bear it and want to do something to change the status quo. When we can’t change the status quo, we try to take revenge. Finally, when we can’t do anything, we pass the time. This is something almost everyone will experience. The process, although unwilling, but powerless, so be it.

These are all depressing things, isn't it a cure to understand?
