Just like the oldest legends, a Son of Destiny carries the blood of a god, and the power of the god is deeply buried, until one day he suddenly accepted his identity as a half-human half-god, and a hero was born. In any case, the legends of these heroes always carry traces of fate, and the hero has never been able to do everything he wants, and he is still bound by fate. The "Hulk" is almost irresistible to any force in the world, but he still can't get his lover in the end. This is the price of being a hero, and it is also the hero's lonely destiny.
"Don't make me angry, you don't want to see me when I'm angry", this line of dialogue before the end of the film is a classic line of the "Hulk" series of comics, and it is also officially announced at the end of the film that the superhero "green Birth of a Giant. Bruce finally accepted his destiny and accepted the identity of the "Hulk", but this hero was born because he succumbed to his own destiny and became a prisoner of his own destiny. Ang Lee completed the hero's life in this contradiction. Manufacturing process. This is a typical Eastern dialectical philosophy, and it is no wonder that many Western audiences and film critics shouted that it was difficult to understand.
Anger is the source of the "Hulk"'s power and the embodiment of his own power. It also makes him lose his reason and wisdom, and become a super destroyer driven by anger. Ang Lee captured this allegorical plot element in the film, and once again brought the normal emotions of ordinary people to the superheroes in the film. Who can not be angry, no matter who is angry, he will be blinded by anger. The "Hulk" is an image in the fantasy of ordinary people. He can become a hero and destroyer in his anger, and this guy who vents the emotions of all the audience. , is actually just a pitiful creature imagined by the public. As Bruce says in the film: "Know what I'm most worried about? Whenever things happen, when he comes at me, I'm totally out of control, ... I love that." That's " The most direct manifestation of the id. The "id" refers to the original self, containing the basic desires, impulses, and vitality needed for survival. is desire. It is the source of all psychic energy. Its only requirement is to live happily and to avoid pain. The goal of the id is to seek the comfort and survival of the individual. It is unconscious and not noticed by the individual. According to Ang Lee, "Everyone has a green giant that belongs to him in his body. How to control it and overcome it is exactly what I want to think about in the film."
In the film, Bruce after calming down , he can calmly think about the problems he foresees. He was able to discuss with Betty the reason for his mutation. He found himself as Bruce, and his self was returned. "Self" originally means "self", which is the part of oneself that can be conscious and performs thinking, feeling, judgment or memory. The function of the self is to find the "I" impulse to be satisfied, and at the same time protect the whole body from harm. Serves the id, but is opposed to the illogical and irrational primary processes of the id. The powerful conflict between the id and the ego makes Bruce miserable, tormented, and distressed.
In the film, when "his father" calls, Bruce asks him "what did you do to me". When he learned that his genes had mutated. He once said "No, you shouldn't do that. I'm going to isolate those genes, I'm going to get rid of them, I'm going to get rid of them before they do harm.". However, his pride was easily defeated by the words of "his father", which seemed to doom him to a tragic fate, "You and your friend Betty must have wanted to do that, but can you really destroy a part of your body? I Can't see it." And at the end of the film, "his father" visits him and asks for his return, when he gives him strength. He weakly replied: "As you think, I won't go with you", "Don't do it, don't do it, don't do it", "I'd rather die" and the roaring "You go... "All embody his pain, as well as the restraint and normative power of the "superego". The "superego" is the ideal part of the personality structure. It is formed through the internalization of moral norms and social and cultural environment values in the process of individual growth. Its function is mainly to supervise, criticize and control one's own behavior. Like the id, it is unreal and mostly unconscious.
In the film, Bruce's pain is intertwined with the interplay between the id and the superego. The purpose of the superego is to counteract the potentially dangerous aggressiveness of the id, which is evident when principles conflict. As an intermediary or buffer factor, the ego plays an important role in coordination among the superego, id and reality. On the one hand, the ego must satisfy the requirements of the superego, id and reality at the same time, while resisting their excessive requirements. . Maintain your own autonomy and tranquility. A person experiences anxiety when the id and superego threaten the ego's control. The ego is weakened, the ego is depleted. In other words, when the self-regulation is unsuccessful and the id or superego becomes too powerful, the conflict between them may overwhelm us. That's why Bruce feels pain. He could not reasonably adjust himself to become the impact of the powerful "devil" in his heart and the life face of the "self" controlled and restrained by his own will. That is, "poor man" as "his father" called it. The superego resists the mighty power of the id. Anxiety and pain. At the end of the film, he sat slumped between the two electrodes, waiting for his father's weakness to be reflected, its weakness and pain.
Ang Lee did not give the Hulk a "form of heroism" in the traditional sense, letting him "save people" and "save beauty", but let him use his own power to break all conventions, use violence to destroy and release. The Hulk became a "tragic hero". But at the end of the film, he found a way to redeem himself, he admitted his identity as the "Hulk", he tried hard to control his temper, he hid in the depths of a green jungle and continued his research. He did his own redemption. "He became the prisoner of his own destiny", which is his tragedy.
Like many Hollywood films, love has become the angel that saves everything, saving the angry "Hulk" and the victims under the destructive power of the "Hulk". But Bruce's love for Betty, in my opinion, is more like a compensation for Bruce's mother's love for his lack of maternal love since childhood. Betty hugging Bruce with open arms is like the image of a mother waiting for her troubled child to return. And the "Hulk" always fell down at Betty's feet meekly and meekly all the time in the incomparable anger and destruction. And as a girlfriend, Betty did not want to be like a classic Hollywood movie, she supports and trusts her boyfriend 100%. She called her father several times because "I felt scared" with him. She sends Bruce, who saved her, to his father for a long period of composure. As a girlfriend, she does not have the confidence to use her own strength to help the person she loves find the past and overcome her fears. What she relied on was strong force for protection, and what she was fighting against was the one she loved... When she saw what her father was about to do to Bruce, she could only be indifferent. Although Ang Lee's attitude towards setting up this task is different from the previous Hollywood girlfriends, who always believe and believe without question, it is undoubtedly that this task is more real. In other words, we are all normal people, and we are all afraid, right?
Although Ang Lee's "Hulk" as a production cost of 160 million US dollars, the same price of publicity expenses, a movie built with astronomical figures, box office and reviews Neither is ideal. However, as Ang Lee, who has a strong humanistic temperament, wants to respond, "How to control and defeat the Hulk in everyone's heart" is a psychological analysis film with deep inner characterization and research.
