      What is the direction? A toolbox is definitely needed!

      Problems in Western culture, a tool for correction of meta-discourse. Consciousness needs civilization to fight barbarism. The essence of civilization lies in masculine texts, non-conspiratorial pictures, and intensifying the figuration is the more advanced work of philosophers. Is there any objection? From Christianity, Judaism, Marxism, Communism, heroism, nationalism, consumerism, idealism, etc., the multi-scene reversal can only be said that the editor has a high...

      Read it as a book: excerpts from Zizek

      Movies are the ultimate perverted art. They don't give you what you want. They tell you how to

      want . The most interesting thing about the cellar of the mother's house in Psycho is the special arrangement of the mother's house. The first floor, basement, is like a replica of the three levels of human subjectivity. The first floor is: "ego" Norman is a normal son there. The dead mother... is basically a superego image not the mother I go to The
      cellar is: "id"... the cistern of...

      need movie

      One way to solve life's problems is to become an object, or more precisely, an animal, that is, to integrate the so-called choices in life into this unified explanatory framework, so that the so-called freedom will come, and the best is like water. The brave man slays the dragon, and only becomes the dragon first. To kill the thing-in-itself, one must become the thing-in-itself, the so-called thing-in-itself. Let everything be as it is, that is, the unity of nature and man, of course, I...

      Do not write non-movie reviews

        I habitually read movie reviews after watching a movie. After watching this movie, I found that there are only a dozen movie reviews for this movie, which is much lower than my expectations. After thinking about it, I feel that people may not know much about this Zizek and the theory he uses, which has caused many audiences to have difficulty understanding.
        This film uses a lot of Freud's theory, which has been introduced in the undergraduate psychology content in China. Many...

      Žižek's psychoanalytic method worked well in Lynch and Hitchcock, and in many Hollywood productions, it is suspected of building castles in the air. Many times his analysis deviates from the film itself and distorts many film language itself. The most exciting part of the whole analysis is at the end, when he calls on us to look for "truth" in the virtual image of the film, that is, a "form" of a "pre-narrative". And as a Marxist materialist, he asserts on the basis of Lukacs and Bakhtin that...

      Sounds like a lot of fun because no one around me can talk to me like this about film theory and I'm so looking forward to someone who can use his/her knowledge reserves to make me dizzy, tinnitus, and a little star of admiration in my eyes//Popular or common //After the baptism of Yimei's accent, I thought I could understand some heavy accents, but I was...

      Look, yes, too, pain, bitterness, too. Very hot. I really watched the movie from the perspective of psychoanalysis and metaphysics. It was very insightful and useful. If it wasn't for the poor translation of subtitles, I could have finished watching it in the...

    Movie quotes

    • Slavoj Zizek: The best way to imagine what Mystery Man is, is to imagine somebody who doesn't want anything from us. That's the true horror of this Mystery Man. Not any evil, demoniac intentions and so on. Just the fact that when he is in front of you, he, as it were, sees through you.

      [on Lost Highway]

    • Slavoj Zizek: Our fundamental delusion today is not to believe in what is only a fiction, to take fictions too seriously. It's, on the contrary, not to take fictions seriously enough. You think it's just a game? It's reality. It's more real than it appears to you. For example, people who play video games, they adopt a screen persona of a sadist, rapist, whatever. The idea is, in reality I'm a weak person, so in order to supplement my real life weakness, I adopt the false image of a strong, sexually promiscuous person, and so on and so on. So this would be the naïve reading... But what if we read it in the opposite way? That this strong, brutal rapist, whatever, identity is my true self. In the sense that this is the psychic truth of myself and that in real life, because of social constraints and so on, I'm not able to enact it. So that, precisely because I think it's only a game, it's only a persona, a self-image I adopt in virtual space, I can be there much more truthful. I can enact there an identity which is much closer to my true self.

    • Slavoj Zizek: What's the archetypal comic situation of Chaplin's films? It's being mistaken for somebody or functioning as a disturbing spot, as a disturbing stain. He distorts the vision. Or people don't even note him, take note of him, so he wants to be noted. Or, if they perceive him, he's misperceived, identified for what he's not.
