you seen The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo?
Audiences who have watched the entire film may not remember the social security loopholes in the background of the film, the lack of financial supervision, or the oligarchic economy of modern capitalist society. Similarly, it will not be the scum of investigation and reasoning in the usual sense. The "Conan" type of the case or the oppressive and suffocating Finch type of plot advancement. At the end of the movie, you will not think of the religious destiny-like curse reasoning of "Seven Deadly Sins", the ups and downs of the mission plot scene of "Mind Game", and the cruel despair of "Zodiac" and the sigh of life similar to "Rejuvenation". Looking back on the disappointment.
Because this film is about one word, through a weird-looking, soft-hearted girl with a dragon tattoo, Lisbeth.
The word is: loneliness.
The heroine, Lisbeth, is a "former psychopath with a deep childhood" and "an advanced hacker with an instant memory." Throughout the film, no one can ignore the masochistic exaggerated tattoos and decorations on her body: ears, nose, and even nipples. In connection with her growth trajectory and her adult personality, "rebellious and publicity" is no longer enough to explain those strange appearances. Only anger can.
Regarding anger, "The Space Between Us" has this explanation: "Our team's fear of loneliness and loss is that we become prone to anger, and we learn to use anger to force others to meet our needs." Therefore, it is not difficult to understand Lisbeth's following behaviors in the film: riding on a mad motorcycle, coercing and torturing the sexually perverted staff of the Relief Department at the expense of the "Chrysanthemum" being exploded, engaging in "lala" with a bar girl, and even in the male protagonist's wood In the house, "the overlord is hard on the bow", the female goes up and the male goes down to "strengthen" the male protagonist (this scene is really wonderful).
Anger comes from loneliness.
According to Ruthellen Josselson, “All of us secretly suspect that the reason we don’t get more of the affection from others is that we don’t deserve it and are not welcome. We share our own experience of giving to others with the media. We compared our impressions and found that we didn’t get enough (the heroine in the film is clearly one of these).”
“Many people live with a painful feeling that they have more loyal and interested friends than others. less (friends who have read "His Country" and "Glory Day" may have been jealous of Zuo Xiaolong and Mai Damai, because their close friends are always many and considerate), the spouse is less passionate, and the attachment object is also less Less stable than others."
"To comfort and distract themselves, they capture the central idea of contemporary culture and therapy:
what we really should be doing in our life is learning to do everything by ourselves. Love ourselves, Take care of yourself, draw the line wider.
Be our own best (or "only") friend."
Our culture urges us to just not need each other!
Lisbeth was undoubtedly alone. She is so empty and lonely: walking on the bustling streets but like a ghostly heart; returning home, hanging up her headphones, listening to shrill rock music, and gently sucking a cigarette at her fingertips ", Su Wenwan's ideal seems to be "beautiful as peach and plum, cold as frost"...), but his mind is like a broken, small ferry, traveling like the floating pound in Sean Maguire's painting in "Good Will Hunting". On the sea in the heavy rain - longing for support, hoping for a harbor.
Not being loved is intolerable because it means we have no real meaning and importance to anyone.
As human beings, we cannot escape this unavoidable need for an emotional response from others. We cannot feel our own existence unless we know that we are part of another person's emotional life. That's why people who are afraid of being unloved often become tiresome.
Therefore, it is not difficult to understand that in the second half of the film, after Lisbeth made a lot of ill-gotten money, he couldn't wait to find the male protagonist, staring at him from the window, bowing his head and answering when meeting, covering his face shyly and acting like a spoiled child. Biting his lip, as if to say: in the future, can we meet again?
I think that no one, even the dumbest or most ruthless man in the world, can't bear to love a thousand miles away in front of this "soft and delicate" girl.
