French Madman Diary Dogtown

Jamey 2022-03-25 09:01:14

The French version of the diary of a madman, the male protagonist who is introverted, kind-hearted, and considerate of others, bears everything. Under the influence of the surrounding environment, he gradually became neurasthenia, restless, mental breakdown, schizophrenia, schizophrenia, schizophrenia, persecution, paranoia, and suicide.

A very depressing and irritating movie, the audience watching this kind of movie always has a feeling: Why did it become like this? Why don't you fight vigorously? No matter how bad it is, the slaughterhouse is better than this repetitive suicide!

There must be reasons behind the unreasonable that we don’t understand or ignore, and this often constitutes a paradox of life, and it is this paradox that makes things like this happen that we thought we could have done otherwise.

The paradox in this film is that the male protagonists, most likely including the former owner Simon's suicide, are caused by circumstances and their own personalities, as well as their social conditions.

.

Personal reasons for the male lead:

Introverted, accustomed to forbearing everything;

There are not many real friends, and the social support system is not very good (foreigners, did not see family relatives, told the landlord that he had few friends, and told the girl that she was the only person he trusted);

Not to mention the apartment and its surroundings:

A group of extremely selfish people, others cannot have the slightest influence on them, but in fact, they completely influence and control others;

Enter someone else's house casually, treat it as one's own territory, and don't regard others as the owner of the house;

If something is stolen, you cannot report it, and you are accused;

If you make any noise, you will be accused, as if living in a prison concentration camp;

Intimidate to write a petition to deal with other visitors, and be complained if they do not agree;

Extremely indifferent and selfish, he directly took the previous girl who committed suicide and hadn't died. The male protagonist committed suicide and jumped off the building for the first time.

The coffee shop clerks are extremely indifferent, which is the situation of some community shops;

The police are also extremely indifferent, completely ignoring their affairs, and are immersed in a state of indifference and drifting with the flow;

...

It’s a pity that the heroine, the type of man is also a sad reminder. They don’t make more demands on others and just tolerate it, but they are demanding of themselves, and they are also demanding of the people they love (it’s okay for other people to hurt me, you hurt me and me) How can I bear it... It's really a character that only hurts those who love me...)

.

There is a controversial point in this film. The second half of the male protagonist directly turns into a delusion of schizophrenia and victimization. Is it too unreasonable? On the one hand, as mentioned in the previous paradox, this may be related to the character of the protagonist. On the other hand, it is "environmental inertia" and "psychological inertia". When a person is in a closed environment and psychological state, it is easy to immerse himself in it, especially when there is no External force (the heroine could have become this external force, but unfortunately...), when this person is introverted, from an outsider's point of view, he just needs to go out, but for those who are immersed in it, it seems to be submerged.

Therefore, a good and rich social support system is very important;

A psychologist is also necessary;

love is also good;

The overall state of society is of course very important;

...

In the situation of the male protagonist,

struggle

break away

First let yourself get away - go to live outside, friends, relatives, rent a house, travel, the male protagonist actually does the same, but unfortunately he is already deep in mental confusion;

Fighting, like the male protagonist's colleague, this tragedy will not occur. Of course, the male protagonist's character is not like that, but the male protagonist blindly accepts, forbears, does not express, does not show his rights and interests, and does not protect his rights as an independent person. The ending of being "submerged" and "annihilated", like "Dog Town", became the object of others who ravaged his selfishness and selfishness arbitrarily, and was overwhelmed by the other party's selfishness and selfishness that ravaged him until he lost his self-consciousness. Confusion of self-consciousness, confusion of self-will.

.

Independent consciousness, independent will, independent rights of socially independent people.

You must keep in mind!
