The source of Lars' anxiety should be Karin's pregnancy, because Lars's mother died, which led to Lars' tragic childhood. Lars was afraid that Karin's childbirth would also be in danger, or this situation aroused some fear and anxiety hidden in Lars' heart. So in the end Lars was finally willing to face the reality, and the townspeople cured him with love and kindness? No! Karin's problem has not been solved, the source of anxiety is still there, and more importantly, Lars' psychological problem has reached a level where the subconscious can completely deceive the conscious. This means that Lars' defense mechanism is already very strong, and it also means that Lars' psychology may have a lot of coercion and distortion.
Lars actually solves Bianca's problem by killing Bianca himself, of course Bianca dying as a living person may be the only way Lars can accept an exit. Realizing that Bianca isn't real at all means Lars admits he's not normal and (more importantly) exposes that there's a huge gap between what he thinks is the world and reality. The gap is so large that it is almost impossible to bridge it, which is even more desperate. But Bianca's withdrawal as a living person also means that Lars's disease has not been resolved, just no longer at this point.
I'm not a professional, I just read a little bit of Freud and part of Karen Honey, according to Karen Honey, the root of psychosis is anxiety, and the cause of anxiety is a lack of security. In response to the lack of security, psychopaths (can you say patients) develop a set of defense mechanisms. Because reality cannot meet his security needs, this mechanism mainly relies on deceiving himself or staying away from the crowd to protect himself. Lars grew up with a very obvious lack of sense of security. Lars' father did not give Lars enough sense of security, and Lars later developed an obvious trait of avoiding people. To avoid people is to avoid possible dangers by reducing contact with the outside world. At the same time, avoiding people will also develop a relatively rational and cold attitude, blaming things on a set of principles that are not controlled by human beings, so as to avoid emotional entanglement. This seemingly rational attitude is actually to stay away from the hidden dangers of interpersonal relationships, so it is actually irrational, and it belongs to the conclusion that comes first and then finds evidence. There is no rational and cruel part of Lars in the play, but from the fact that contact with other people's skin can produce powerful pain and ignore the reality of Bianca, it can be seen that Lars' defense mechanism is strong enough to completely hide from consciousness. I make an analogy.
The Matrix in The Matrix is a robotic system originally designed to protect and care for humans. Later, the environmental damage was too severe and the sunlight was blocked. For the purpose of protecting human beings, the mother raised human beings in an incubator, and connected human thinking to a virtual space, and then used the chemical energy after human death to supply itself ( Actually impossible, because energy is not conserved). Here, the Matrix evolves from protecting humans to protecting "the system that protects humans" - the Matrix itself. The same goes for the psychological defense mechanism, a set of strategies originally developed to protect yourself from the dangers of this insecure world. This strategy is based on the fact that one cannot communicate with the world normally (deceive oneself), so it is more vulnerable, just like a lie needs more lies to make up for it. farther. Finally, one day you can't live without this mechanism, and proving the mechanism wrong means the collapse of your "world" (don't doubt how important this false world is to psychopaths). At the same time, because this mechanism is far from reality, it always exposes such and such problems from time to time. So you are always in danger of the world collapsing, and the process is not safe. In other words, you're relying on a more fragile protection in pursuit of security options, so that you're never safe. Therefore, psychopaths have experienced a lot of inner pain in their seemingly peaceful lives. These pains may be more than the average person's lifetime combined. Just like the pain that ordinary interpersonal communication brings to Lars is also unimaginable to ordinary people - the possible physical and psychological intimacy will bring him not only inner pain, but also pain. So after more than 20 years of torture, if Lars's heart is tired and violent, it is understandable; but if it is pure and simple, it is difficult for me to imagine.
Love and kindness do give people a sense of security, if you can see it. And psychopaths, to Lars's level, are probably out of sight, and they've gone too far in a twisted direction. For example, avoiding people may suspect that others are not really good to him, but they are asking for him or forced by the situation, and so on. In short, it is difficult for them to see the love and kindness of others, or the love and kindness of others cannot always meet his requirements.
The townspeople are cute and Margo is cute too. I love Margo so I have a concern. It was Margo and Lars who quarreled twice during their relationship, and then Lars killed Margo. Then cut her head off, stick it on Bianca's doll, and eat with her. "|"-"__"-"|"
PS: Regarding the question of what attitude to use when watching a movie, I think it depends on the screenwriter, whether the screenwriter just wants to have fun or something else. Many details of the show are based on psychology, including Lars's birth and infertility for Bianca. Because Bianca was designed by Lars, Lars has a lot to project on Bianca. This fantasy is not a gimmick, it's justified.
