      The ancestor of PUA

      I learned about this movie from an article about mind control before, which is said to be the source of the concept of PUA. What's more, there are Bergman's films, which always make people have to watch. The plot design seems a bit old-fashioned today, but it was very pioneering and exploratory more than seventy years ago. Destroying people's self-confidence through psychological cues and environmental isolation, making people fall into self-doubt, and finally able to explain the torture to...

      How verbal and mental abuse can destroy a person

      As a psychology lover, "Under the Gas Lamp" is a movie not to be missed. As a woman, George Cook's "Little Women", "Gone with the Wind", "La Traviata" and "Fair Lady" have detailed and profound female images and psychology in each of the films. This "Under the Gas Lamp" allowed Ingrid Bergman to win the first Oscar statuette in her life.

      Even if you watch this 1944 film today, it still brings...

      gaslight control and anti-control

      This label has horror, and the whole story is frightened by the part where the heroine thinks she is crazy and obeys her husband and is imprisoned at home, and screams at the servant Elizabeth with a nervous breakdown. Bluebeard's story core, the same paragraph also has Agatha Christie's "Nightingale Villa", but the heroine in "Nightingale Villa" is a bit more powerful than "Under the Gaslight", acting in one-handed anti-control, personally killing the murderer The male protagonist was...

      Gaslighting

      It is said that "Under the Gaslight" is the earliest prototype to describe the phenomenon of control psychology and PUA. Contrary to the impression of most people, most of the manipulated phenomena are constructed by the active participation of the victims. And step by step towards self-destruction, the perpetrator seems to be only gradually inducing repeated judgments and isolating the environment. The most terrifying thing here is that every self-judgment and feedback from the interaction...

      Gas lamp effect

      This old movie explains in detail the gas lamp effect, which is mental and psychological control. The "gas lamp effect" is also called cognitive negation. It is actually a psychological manipulation and brainwashing by "distorting" the reality in the eyes of the victim. The manipulator instills false, one-sided or deceptive words into the victim for a long time, so that the victim begins to doubt himself, question his own cognition, memory and mental state, and finally achieve control of the...

      Although the result can be guessed very early, the whole film is still shrouded in a sufficient and strong atmosphere of suspense, which attracts the audience in the process of uncovering the mystery step by step. That is to say, the great thing about this movie is that it doesn't make the audience rack their brains to guess the result by using the various grass snake gray lines and various explicit hints that the director has laid out in front of them, but when the audience has already guessed...

      Bergman is so beautiful, the beauties of that era are so plump, like statues in ancient Rome. In modern times, this is blatant domestic violence, and the psychological portrayal is too...

      The first brush is still in college days, and I am not impressed. The second brush is purely for looks. This show may play various flipping routines today. For example, everyone thinks that the husband is the real murderer (and it is too straightforward), but the real murderer is the...

      A star must be added to Bergman's "Go Crazy" at the end. The best presentation of the whole film is the suspenseful setting of various spiritual hints, and London in the...

      It's much better than some of Bergman's other films of Fatty, but I really can't like those films of...

    Movie quotes

    • Miss Thwaites: Odd. Definitely odd. It's an odd household, too. That maidservant, most impertinent. I can't get a thing out of her. She won't talk to me; though, she would quick enough if I wore trousers. The way she carries on with that policeman on the beat. It's scandalous!

    • Gregory Anton: Ring for the maid.

      Paula Alquist Anton: I can put it on myself.

      Gregory Anton: We've had this subject out before. Please, pull the bell cord.

      Paula Alquist Anton: It seems so unnecessary.

      Gregory Anton: What do you suppose the servants are for? Answer me. What do you suppose the servants are for?

      Paula Alquist Anton: To do things. To serve us, I suppose.

      Gregory Anton: Exactly.

    • Gregory Anton: That complexion of yours, that's something that's not quite true, either. Oh, you do it very cleverly, I grant you. In fact, I was wondering whether you might not care to pass some of your secrets on to your mistress and help her get rid of her pallor.
