On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, I watched this movie at Teacher Conan’s house.
I alone, there is a high probability that I will not watch such a dark and trembling movie during the Chinese New Year.
Fortunately, Mr. Conan, as an experienced psychological counselor, leads the viewing of the movie, interspersed with analysis and comments from time to time. It broke the rhythm and horror of the director's meticulous interpretation.
So calmly, watch the whole movie leisurely.
The beginning of the film is an obscure male world, dressed in black clothes, a serious-looking doctor, ignoring the heroine's rational protests, for the teaching purpose of exploring the symptoms of mental patients, forcing her to have seizures and showing her convulsions.
A certain kind of aggression and control loomed deep in the eyes of the doctor with a big beard, cold academic: touching the relevant parts of her sexual organs may cause convulsions.
Sure enough, the originally soft and fearful woman instantly stiffened into a dying swan in his words and actions, graceful and helpless.
Undoubtedly, we cannot demand people of that era with the current culture and philosophy.
I am grateful for the progress of our time in the humanities, and the tolerance for different situations.
The main content of this film is how to treat the mentally ill, how to treat the mentally ill, and how the huge trauma will affect people.
In those days, even aristocrats lost their human rights and ceased to be humans once they were diagnosed as mentally ill.
The dean of hell regards the patient as an object, and the treatment is ruthless. Confinement, spinning frantically, pouring cold water, perfusing food, confinement.
The hospital is like hell.
Dean Langdon accepts all abnormalities and cooperates with the simulated illusion, so that every patient can be respected. Mental patients are treated and managed by mental patients. The undercurrents rushed under the superficial harmony, which eventually led to a certain kind of collapse and death.
Heaven went back to hell.
In fact, how can this not overlap with our educational philosophy? Too tight restricts human nature, and too wide leads to undisciplinedness.
But in any case, people are the general direction.
With the appearance of the male protagonist, the plot has its ups and downs and reverses from time to time.
The style of horror and tension runs through.
At the end of the film, the gloom, cold and hardness of the whole film is reflected.
In the Italian sanatorium, the sun is warm, the green grass, the flowers bloom, and the bright happiness fills the whole picture.
The direction of treatment improved in accordance with Dean Langdon's thoughts is continuing, and it seems to be returning to heaven.
Lovers snuggle together sweetly.
The contrast is very big, some eat sugar for the sake of sugar.
HAPPY ENDDING. Well, a fan suitable for Chinese New Year!
