Schizophrenia, paranoia, guilt, subconscious, Freudian dream analysis. Starring the beautiful and elegant Bergman and the handsome and melancholy Pike. Modern people's psychology is in a sub-health state, and everyone has some psychological diseases more or less.
The story is about the relationship between the psychoanalyst Dr. Phil, played by Bergman, and Brown, a guilt-ridden psychopath, played by Parker. Brown accidentally collided with his brother when he was playing, causing his brother to die unexpectedly. And there is a strong sense of guilt, this sense of guilt develops to the point of being uncontrollable, even losing the mind, so painful that it even automatically loses memory to escape this. Even so, whenever Brown saw something like black lines on a white background, he developed intense anxiety and even fainted. Brown suffered from a mental illness and was treated by a psychiatrist, Dr. Ward. In order to treat Brown's illness, Dr. Ward took Brown to skiing. During this skiing, Dr. Ward died unexpectedly (it turned out to be a shooting death). At this time, Brown thought that he had killed Dr. Ward, delusional that he was Dr. Ward and not dead, so he disguised himself as Dr. Ward and went to Dr. Fei's hospital to take over the post of director. And developed into a lover with Dr. Fei, with the arrival of Dr. Ward's secretary, Brown's identity was exposed. Since Dr. Ward died skiing with Brown, Brown has schizophrenia and has become a suspect in police pursuit. The exposure of his identity allowed Brown to start his escape. Dr. Fei was deeply attracted to Brown and wanted to follow him to help him cure her mental illness. This film reminds me of Bell once helped a father who was in deep self-blame because his child drowned unexpectedly in Survival in the Wild, and he fell into deep self-blame for not being able to rescue the child. Since the child drowned, the father saw water You will be very nervous, and you will fall into a deep sense of guilt. Because in this father's heart, it was he who killed the child, not an accident.

Spellbound quotes

  • Dr. Alex Brulov: Women make the best psychoanalysts until they fall in love. After that they make the best patients.

  • Constance Petersen: I think the greatest harm done the human race has been done by the poets.

    Anthony Edwardes: Oh, poets are dull boys, most of them, but not especially fiendish.

    Constance Petersen: They keep filling people's heads with delusions about love... writing about it as if it were a symphony orchestra or a flight of angels.

    Anthony Edwardes: Which is isn't, eh?

    Constance Petersen: Of course not. People fall in love, as they put it, because they respond to a certain hair coloring or vocal tones or mannerisms that remind them of their parents.

    Anthony Edwardes: Or... or... sometimes for no reason at all.

    Constance Petersen: That's not the point. The point is that people read about love as one thing and experience it as another. Well, they expect kisses to be like lyrical poems and embraces to be like Shakespearean dramas.

    Anthony Edwardes: And when they find out differently, then they get sick and have to be analyzed, eh?

    Constance Petersen: Yes, very often.

    Anthony Edwardes: Professor, you're suffering from "mogo on the gogo."

    Constance Petersen: I beg your pardon!
