According to the diagnostic criteria of psychology, Matsuko is an out-and-out borderline personality disorder. However, in the eyes of A Sheng and the audience after listening to her story, Matsuko is more like a god: willing to give unconditionally for love, bear it all costs. Did the movie romanticize the mentally ill and put her in a great position, or did psychology and the so-called feminist discourse reduce God to a sick person?
People with a "borderline personality" can't stand being separated from others, and can't stand being alone when they wake up. The pain that others can easily accept or even enjoy is fatal to them. However, in reality, most borderline personalities cannot be thrown into the arms of one man after another like Matsuko, because they are frightened by the pain of Matsuko: being abandoned by men (borderline personalities have a strong "dangerous charm", but Few people can bear it, because their love is to give them the whole world, others will easily avoid or use violence to escape guilt in the face of this love), and they are also despised by the world. Popular discourse requires women to build up their self-esteem, protect themselves, and even cure the disease as soon as possible. Wearing strong masks, they turned their desires into fairy-tale fantasy: one day, a prince charming will come to save them, their past pains will be compensated, and they will no longer need to bear any pain in the future. Live the day you are saved. So they gave up taking risks like Pine Nuts, and they gave up being God like Pine Nuts, and became people who sat and complained about their injuries while waiting for God to come.
From this, we also see how the radicality of film and television works has been withdrawn: the audience does not want to be the hero of the story, but rather to be his admirer, admirer, consumer, and some people will hope that one day such a person can come by your side. What a real patient desires most is another patient who loves himself madly; what a real God desires most is another God who can redeem himself. Because the patients do not want to be responsible for their own desires and actions, and God does not want to go to the cross to suffer the suffering of all mankind, but they want to lead directly to the happy ending, and to imagine the poetry and the distance every day.
The essence of the patient-God duality in the pine nuts is an excess, and this excess of love is incompatible with the neoliberal ideology that emphasizes human boundaries, "love your neighbor", it is like a virus, and a person After perishing together, she immediately resurrected and looked for the next host, or until one day she found someone who was comparable to her and destroyed with him. "The Life of Abandoned Matsuko" leaves us with such an ethical question - how do we deal with this seductive virus in ourselves or others?
I don't think borderline suicidal people are any less than those with depression, but they are rarely seen in the public eye, and the public only thinks they are "kind and silly children". The moral scale tends to tip in favor of the borderline personalities who are often the “victims” of relationships, who increasingly believe that it is only moral and safe to be in the victim’s position. Ironically, the more morally high they are, the more It's hard to be seen.
