This movie is recommended for anyone who loves psychology. As a person who studies psychology, I first want to talk about the quarrel between Mike and Bullock in the film, about whether the neighbors are normal quarrels.

Contains spoilers. . . . .






People only believe what they believe, and only see what they believe. There are very few people who think critically. From a male point of view, Bullock is just stupid, and there is no obvious evidence to see. But all these logical reasoning processes are only done by Mike alone! The best way to influence the thinking of ordinary people is to let him feel first, and then let him move forward bit by bit. Bullock didn't feel anything different, and she wasn't mature enough to understand Mike. First of all, Mike has the idea of ​​​​protecting his son with all his strength. If this father's love is patiently told to Brock, and then he shows his evidence and allows Brock to reason, Brock can change his behavior. All conversations are actually seeds. The seeds of this doubt were actually planted in Brock's heart, so he later discovered clues. Women's chats are basically about feelings. Mike was loud and noisy at the beginning, and later he brought up the topic of his ex-wife and offended his girlfriend without knowing it. He was still talking about the logical facts in his head, which didn't help. Listen to the sound, not the content. This is the difference between male and female psychology. In fact, Mike can bravely admit his thoughts about his ex-wife so that he can completely let go of his mind and accept the next relationship. Or if he can hide it for the rest of his life, it's fine. But he always makes his girlfriend feel the nostalgia for his ex-wife.

Mike had two choices at the time. One was to hide it with all his might and investigate it himself. Don't expect others to understand you. The second is that he can use the methods of psychology to influence others to seek the understanding of others. As a result, he chose the worst path, but because of his girlfriend's doubts, he began to believe that the neighbor was a good person.

The second scene is the scene where Mike forbids his son to go to summer camp. What do parents do when they don't like their neighbors and can't explain it to their children? There are still two options. And Mike chose the worst third option.
1. Mike can treat his son as an adult, educate his son bit by bit about his neighbors, and give his son a respect to make him believe in himself.
2. Mike can hide it, so he should use other small things to turn his face with the neighbors, let his son see the tension between him and the neighbors, so that the son will accept it.

In the end, the psychologist will win the game, huh , in

addition, overall. It is difficult to introduce such a kind of good-for-nothing movie into China. However, the warning he brought us is the most profound. Do you still do good deeds if you don't do good deeds? For details, refer to Wang Yangming's Psychology.

For us humans, what matters are choices and processes, not outcomes. If you choose to live with an open mind, you will live a life worthy of your heart. And if you choose to do evil, you will get a good end, and your whole life will not be open even for a day. Oliver lived in such an environment, and he would worry about his own survival at any time.

But I have one last question. If you are a bad person and don't feel that you are doing evil, you will live a magnanimous life. What kind of existence does such a person have?
