The psychological effects of train guessing

"Trainspotting" is adapted from the novel of the same name by Irving Wells. Before reading it, I heard many people say that he is a work called "testing drugs with one's own body", so I didn't care much. It seems that this movie is based on their drug use, their promiscuity, their violence, their robbery, and their degeneration with no cover up. Because I had seen drug addicts when I was a child, I probably understood what was going on, so I wasn't too surprised. What I still remember is that in the
first scene, the male protagonist Mark, in order to pick up pills, reaches out into the dirty and disgusting toilet. Digging, and finally sinking in slowly, entering the bottom of the sea, and swimming in the sea, maybe that's the wonderful taste, or to prove the infinite attraction of heroin, and the character's recklessness, this is the effect needed for the true expression of the film , or not at all as we thought. After that, he got out of the toilet and returned to reality from the dream, taking the hard-earned pills hesitantly. The second act is the process of injecting heroin, which is beyond your imagination. The needles advance, the plasma dissolves, and the drug penetrates into the blood full of pustules. Step by step, you enter the whole process like a voyeur with a tiny camera. The third act is that all the people who were hurt by heroin in the play came to the door. Although this is the hallucination of the hero, it is really terrifying. There is no intention to hurt. Fear, and the guilt of persecuting others, came all over, like the pain of being torn apart.
After returning to the dormitory, the movie clips appeared one after another, and the sober and profound memories were as above, and there were some thoughts when watching the movie. The initial anger I didn’t understand, slowly faded, and I didn’t listen to it before: “Trainspotting is that Something that either makes you like it to death, or makes you grit your teeth down." But there are still some feelings, but I still understand it, it doesn't matter. A seemingly gloomy and decadent film that is empathetic and begins with a classic line, as follows: "The world is changing, music is changing, drugs are changing, you can't escape heroin for too long!"




Choose a life, choose a job, choose a career, choose a family, choose a hateful big color TV, choose a washing machine, a car, a laser disc player, choose health, low cholesterol and dental insurance, choose a mortgage, choose your friends, choose suits, casual clothes And luggage, choose installments and three-piece suits, choose to watch boring game shows, eat snacks while watching...choose your future, choose life...too many choices, what do you choose, I choose not choose. "
After watching the film, I happened to be in a psychology class. Maybe it was coincidence or fate. The teacher happened to talk about Bandura's social learning theory, and the most important thing is interaction. Social learning theory, also known as observational learning theory, mainly Alternative learning by observing other people's behaviors and their results belongs to the study of imitation behavior. The main points include: 1. Individuals, environments and behaviors are a system that is interconnected. 2. Humans can observe others (ie role models) Behavior and observational learning play an important role in human learning. No matter whether the behavior of the model is rewarded or punished, the individual will produce observational learning, but the rewarding behavior is more susceptible to imitation. Observational learning is dominated by a series of interrelated psychological processes, including attention, maintenance , action recurrence and motivation. The social learning theory emphasizes explicit behavior and its reinforcement, as well as learning and internal cognitive processes.
After that, the teacher cites experimental results to prove the above arguments.
Bandura divided a certain kindergarten class into two parts and watched a common movie. The children in class A saw a middle-aged man who was admired, supported and worshipped by people after a fight and murder. The children in class B saw the same storyline, but the result was different. The middle-aged man was criticized and punished by people. After watching the movie, the class asked the children to recreate what the men did. The result was that the children in class A raised their hands, and the children in class B were basically the silent public. Children are naive and ignorant, without the ability to distinguish between good and evil, and to distinguish right from wrong, so behaviors that are rewarded and praised make them easy to imitate. Class conducted another experiment. He took out a piece of candy and told the children whoever demonstrated the scene in the movie just now could get a piece of candy. At this time, the children in Class B also raised their hands and could explain in great detail. reproduce. This shows that both the rewarded model and the punished model are remembered by observation. The outside world greatly influences our behavior, and children are seduced in the process of reinforcement. The social learning mechanism points out that people's behaviors, concepts and behaviors do not necessarily come from formalized training, but also from their own observation and imitation of life, which proves that human beings have an imitation instinct and are always inclined in social activities. with mimicking the observed behavior. People tend to imitate the behavior of others because they observe a link between the behavior and the result, which is a stimulus, and the overstimulus evokes an imitative response.
When someone in "Trainspotting" said that it was an exaggeration for people to try drugs, the film wanted to express the pain of letting people see the darkness, and cherish or return to the light, but it potentially had an effect in people's hearts. I think absurdly, when I am old and dying, I will try it too. There is an absolute in life - death, and everything we do can't escape death. It's too early to die now. , When I get old, I have to wait for the death of the gods to come. It is better to understand it myself. I myself feel that this idea is a bit scary, but this is the idea of ​​​​when I was a child. Precisely because we are thoughtful actors, our temptation is the feeling of being in a state of ecstasy and intoxication, which makes people have the urge to try it, and at the same time, we are well aware of the harmfulness of our behavior.
Not as deep as I thought before, deep love and hatred, but it is a kind of subsequent brewing of spiritual shock!
