The Shackles of "Criminal Plot" in Modern Society

People living in this world are people in a kind of social life, referred to as social people. Humans have id, ego and superego. Under the repression or restraint of the superego's social morality, the human id will suppress its own libido. In the mechanism norm of the superego, people will also have criminal plots because they have similar evil thoughts or do evil things because of social moral habits, which may occur in childhood, such as hoping that they do not like People receive suffering, and when this idea actually occurs, children will think that it is self-inflicted. This is the most central mental illness in the movie "Doctor Edward".

Because of Freud's ideas of libido ontology and repression principle. (Ontology: Exploring the Origin of the World) That is, starting from the sharp contradiction between the id and the superego, the anxiety of modern people caused by the suppression of sexuality by modern civilization. In this regard, Freud put forward the proposition that civilization is based on repression of sexuality, and that excessive repression will lead to the proposition of psychosis in modern civilized people. Therefore, the "anxiety" of social people not only comes from the satisfaction of the id, or the regulations and difficulties of the external world, but also from the constraints of the superego. Because the superego belongs to a kind of mental bondage. Whether it is his strong desire to satisfy the "self" or not, even if it is just a thought in his mind, it will make people feel "criminal". This is described in detail in Freud's Civilization and Its Discontents. It proposes "to describe guilt as the most important issue in the evolution of civilization, and to show that the price of civilizational progress is paid by the loss of happiness through increased guilt." People tend to feel guilty for things they did not Guilt that goes back to their childhood - a child who often hopes that something terrible will happen to someone he doesn't like, and a child will believe when something does happen to that person He's the culprit, that's what makes the criminal plot. In fact, it's just a child's nightmare. In addition, in Freud's "Totems and Taboos", it is also mentioned that the God worshiped by the Jewish believers - Moses - as the prophet of the entire nation of Israel is very holy. But Freud believed that the actions of all myths are the result of the synthesis of various psychological and spiritual symptoms of human beings and experiences including unconsciousness. He believed that why Moses became the god of Judaism, and also created various legends for this reason, was because of people's sense of guilt. Moses was not a Jew, but an Egyptian. The religion that Moses brought to Judea was brought from Egypt. Moses was murdered in the wilderness, but his murder burdened the nation of Israel with a heavy burden of guilt. The Israelites later mythed Moses, and even considered Moses to be the prophet of the entire nation, which also reflected the patriarchal instinct of the entire nation of Israel, that is, the Oedipus complex.

Of course, I think that the modern vocabulary of crime plot should not be used to study ancient culture and history (the pre-Renaissance has not awakened rationalism). Maybe at that time we didn’t know whether Judaism really believed in God with devotion in our hearts. Maybe Moses was just a pronoun for God or God? I can't say enough about this. Haha, still in the first year of grad school, hope there will be better insights in the future.

    I watched it again and found that it was really in vain. The mysteries and dreams of split personality.

    ①Pike's acting is very green, Bergman supported the whole film. ②The last ten minutes of Xi Fat is not so reasonable. It would be better to tell the truth in another way. ③The part of the dream is very eye-catching, very similar to Dali's surreal paintings.
