selfishly . Below are some of my thoughts on THE VOICES: 1. Jerry lives alone in an abandoned bowling alley. I personally think it has meaning.
The focus is on the topic of bowling alone. Related discussions can find the key. Word search involves a wide range of levels.
And this meaning will bring to the understanding of the whole movie.
2. Regarding Lucifer, it is directly associated with The Lucifer Effect: Understanding How Good People Turn Evil. Jerry is a result of the Lucifer effect. Although he had a hereditary mental illness since he was a child, it was not enough to make him kill because of his mother. He is fragile (the mother and father love he can get is not much, and he will be more like a caregiver to his mother), the broken family makes his childhood miserable, I guess this situation also makes it difficult for him to socialize completely.
I’ve seen an interview before and it’s a bit difficult to find again. The general content is that the appearance of the murderer may have grown up, but the mental state is actually stuck in the stage of children. Something cruel of ignorance.
This can be seen in some murderers, and it can also be seen in Jerry in the film.
He is as innocent as a child, and his pursuit and liking for women are as helpless as a boy of first love, and because he is physically mature, he lacks normal interpersonal relationships, normal interactions with the opposite sex, and confusion in his mental state. The psychological torture that cannot be relieved has caused him to have a strong sense of loneliness and distorted values, and it is difficult for him to integrate into the society (living in his own world, not good at judging the emotions and feelings of the other party).
3. Did Jerry later resemble a happy killing state? One thing I’m curious about is, did Jerry eat the corpse? Afterwards, those corpse-divided boxes can’t really be seen where they are in the house. I’m wondering if he would eat them... The friend was squeezed out and wanted to get the warmth of the relationship. He found a man who was willing to let him cook and eat it. He ate it because he thought it would keep the two together forever) and why he always thought that he was killed when he was killed. Really alive for the first time? Whether he gets physical pleasure or eats them to reduce loneliness is not known.
4. Sing a happy song at the end of the movie. It should not be that he really went to heaven, but he made up for his personal spirit. He imagined that everyone would go to heaven. I did something wrong but I repented, so everyone will Forgive me, his fantasy is clean, bright and beautiful (such as his own residence, fiona in his eyes, and corpses). After all, the real world is too cruel to him. In the end, he escaped to hallucinations.
Link to the Lucifer he mentioned at the beginning, the fallen angel! He is the fallen angel Lucifer in his own mouth. I wonder if you have noticed that there are only four people in the paradise he imagined with names (he and the three murdered women)? ! There are no names for the mother and stepfather in the credit list!
That's why he asked his psychiatrist if he was missed by God, God refused to forgive him, he didn't want to be Satan, he wanted to return to the embrace of God, so the fantasy heaven God also came.
Angels are a particularly important concept in his and his mother's hearts. In particular, the male protagonist probably thinks that he is only temporarily exiled to the world by God, so he always maintains a good faith until the situation gets worse.
The previous treatment doctors were more outsiders. They wanted to express their conscientious care. Professionally, they were just working. The relationship between doctors and patients was distrustful and not sincere. The doctors were always separated from the government, saying I will punish you if you don't obey. Individuals have done a consultation, and the consultant will do their duty to listen, but it feels that they are actually very distant. They are listening but not listening.
But after the doctor was kidnapped, she really felt that Jerry’s situation was no longer just academic research, and she was facing a crisis, so she might be the first time she showed sincerity to help Jerry (self), which is more than an evaluation. The routine task of ordering drugs is much more effective. It was the first and last time the two had a frank conversation. After being rescued, the doctor began to care about Jerry. Only then did the theoretical patient come into her mind. The doctor's words made Jerry discover that he is not the only one so lonely. His expression and emotions here are the closest to normal in all aspects, and his eyes finally focus on reality.
5.sing a happy song, the male protagonist likes this song very much, you can turn over the lyrics, to the effect that singing can bring happiness, etc., Jerry was put a pigeon in the car and put music to listen, the music should be... . To be correct, his knowledge of internal non-self voice will bring him comfort. For example, in the title of the voices, the male protagonist lacks the connection with others. The auditory hallucinations bring him great support, and he can feel the communication and connection with the outside world.
And the deliberate pink tones, cheerful and bright arrangement in the film, on the one hand, reduce the disgusting and nauseous impact, on the other hand, it brings a sense of contradiction, and this is an important way for the male protagonist to look at the world. The reality is very bitter. He must do his best to fall into hallucinations in order to live. It’s not that he doesn’t know that these are hallucinations, but that he loses the meaning of life if he escapes. In addition to the last fat sister, his murder was derived from the recognition he had obtained from his mother as a child and the way to help the other party solve the pain. He thought this was an act of expressing kindness, although his conscience was disturbed.
From the perspective of the male protagonist, good and evil have always accompany each other, not so absolute. His good is manifested through evil, but from outsiders' perspective, this is a manifestation of evil. He is strange because he does not have a model of the so-called normal world (RR Interpreting all this is very pleasing, scary and cute (XD), but everyone excludes him from the mainstream social circle.
6. Regarding him and Lisa, in addition to satisfying his long-term desires by having a relationship with Lisa, he also achieved the not-loneliness that he eagerly hoped for~ (Shuihua)
This reminds me of Georges Bataille's theory of discontinuous life. The physical relationship can break through the loneliness of a closed individual. Finally, the incident of Jerry Dongshuang, who is a little connected with others, made him beyond disaster...
In addition, after killing Lisa, Jerry used the voices of cats and dogs in the conversation, which is similar to the tiger of the young pi. They both represent a certain aspect of the protagonist. The conversation between cats and dogs in the illusion heaven begins. Jerry thinks his Good conquered evil, and to some extent no longer suffered from the two, his good and evil were balanced.
7. RR’s recent multiple attempts to break through are really making me happy. The Voices is definitely his best movie so far. The cute lawyer of Woman in Gold is also great. It seems that next year Deadpool will not go to the cinema to watch 10 I'm sorry for this time!!! I
probably think of this now. The voices and American psycho are both ridiculing the reasons behind all this through mental illness, disorder, empty absurdity, etc. (so they are not as scary as those who are serious about blood. The point of horror lies in the mutation of the human heart), and it is close to the real life of modern people. Of course, the two handsome guys have increased the movie's excitement more than 90,000 times.
