Why are you tempted by the devil?

Let me clarify the plot sequence of the movie "Obsessed".

To prove that I have actually watched this movie, I will write a plot analysis or psychological analysis to commemorate it.

First of all, let’s start with Anna, the heroine played by our great beauty, Adjani. In the first half of the film, Adjani’s husband saw a video on the tape where his wife was hysterical while teaching ballet-she abused her. The students forced the female students to practice ballet postures in a way that was close to paranoia, until the girls were scared to cry and had a nervous breakdown and escaped from the classroom. She was extremely nervous during this period.
Before the film, we can actually see that the husband once revealed to others, “My wife used to have a job, but quit one or two years ago to work as a full-time wife at home.”
And the wife’s former job was a ballet teacher. It can be guessed from the words of the video tape that maybe his wife was once a beautiful and even close to successful ballerina, and after the girl who was forced to cry to escape, she said-
"Now you should be thankful , You can still stay. You can still keep going, and you can only succeed if you keep going!"-Note that Ajani's face was very resentful and angry at this time.
Why is she so resentful and resentful?
Then she replied: "But no one told me this sentence back then! That's why I am here, insisting (in this way) to teach you..." Her face looked savage and crazy.

In the next video, the wife’s hairstyle was changed to a loose hairstyle, and her look was no longer as crazily and vicious as before, with a strong oppressive aura. It is inferred that it should have been since the period when she forced the students to leave. For a while.
She repeatedly mentioned "opportunity" and "belief" in the hysterical chaotic words.
"I think opportunities are hidden in beliefs... but my beliefs are all
broken ..." ——This paragraph may correspond to the paragraph that broke out when she was hysterical. Because of dereliction of duty (abuse of students), she may be facing or has already Faced with the punishment of losing his job. At this time, she realized the seriousness of what she did wrong, and grief came from it, and she began to miss herself who was infinitely beautiful when she was young.
——I used to be proud and beautiful, and in the earliest days I should be a very talented ballerina. There was also an opportunity. However, it may be because of love, or it may be because of family. She gave up on herself and became the wife behind her husband.
Perhaps, she herself did not seize the opportunity, because her physical fitness or mentality was affected after her marriage, which made her unable to return to the previous era of self-confidence and beauty. So she gradually went mad in the increasingly ordinary and decadent life.

Then it triggered schizophrenia:
"I always have two twin sisters arguing in my mind."

Then I thought about committing suicide, hoping to escape the suffocation of reality:
"I looked at my soul after reading the book, and I realized that My soul is small and helpless. Sometimes I hope I have a terminal illness and die so I can get rid of all this..."

When her faith and hope collapsed, she found that her soul was dirty, and was gradually seduced by the devil. Maybe even she herself didn't know when this happened.
"I know my husband is a good man, I'm sorry for him, I betrayed him, I hurt him... But... I can't control myself, I'm afraid of all this, I can't live on my own! My soul is empty, I'm afraid to face myself..."
-It can be seen here that many years of family life has turned her into an ordinary woman. Although she is beautiful and seemingly ordinary and happy, she is extremely sensitive and sober. To her own misfortune-the emptiness of life and the emptiness of soul, loss of self, lack of love, she has lost all of her self-confidence, she has lost all of her beliefs, and without a job or a career, she feels that she is nothing! The absence of her husband with no one to accompany her has plunged her into terrible loneliness and horror, fear of life, and fear of the future.

——She was tempted by the devil in this situation.

Then, she combined with the devil, watching Christ cry in the church, resenting why he looked at her and didn't save her? It is also said that her angle seems to be masturbating in front of the statue of Christ... In short, she is burdened with filth and uncleanness, but also entangled in pain, and is deeply isolated and helpless.

In pain, people will have terrible power, or they will completely merge themselves with the darkness, or they will eventually burst into madness. The heroine played by Ajani happens to occupy both of them.
On the one hand, because of the hopelessness and pain of life, she desperately to hide in the darkness, even if her husband lends a helping hand to her, she desperately refuses-in her opinion, her husband's tolerance towards her and the entanglement that will never give up It is a deeper aggravation of her sins. The more tolerant and infatuated her husband's performance, the more fearful she will be. This is the case with people with avoidant personality-if you lie, others encourage you to say, don't be afraid, admit your mistakes, and I won't blame you. You will not admit your mistakes, but you will turn away and run away in fear. Because of guilt, because of guilt, because she has long been polished out of confidence and courage, only fear and escape are left. She became angry, violent and surly. She overreacted to all accusations from the outside world—responding to interrogations with anger, and verbal abuse and self-harm to fight against her.
-Sensitive women or children with poor brains or similar unsound personalities are like this. When they can't think of a way to solve the problem, they will use crying to prevaricate the accusation. When crying can't make them escape responsibility, They began to fight against the world with irritability and madness.

On the other hand, she was eroded more severely by the devil. Outside pressure, including her husband’s and lover’s, her own pressure, and the torture of her conscience, she knew that she was sorry for her husband and her children, but she still couldn’t get rid of...maybe it was a desire or a desire ——I was pointed out when I was watching other people’s film reviews, and I suddenly realized that when I was committed to the devil, she actually wanted to make a husband.
why?
While she is in the doorway leading to hell, she is screaming at herself with the split soul-"Stop! Go back!" She still wants to go back to the place where she was before, with a warm family and loving herself, being considerate of herself Her husband, or when he was more perfect than before, had no lover, no cheating, no devil, what she wanted was happiness, and that kind of happiness was so dreamy that she was out of reach.

After analyzing it for most of the day, I feel that the plot of the whole film is actually nothing to say, so I am too lazy to analyze the plot, and that's it after watching it. It is really meaningless to talk about logic with French artists. This film is not logical anyway, not even the absurd horror. The most exciting essence of the whole story lies in Ajani's fine performance. She perfectly explains how a sick person drives herself crazy, how to drive herself to despair and madness step by step while suffocating.
The only thing that can't be overcome is his own demon. Otherwise, what is the use of God? Otherwise, even if you are so considerate, what's the point of your willingness to fight for your life to save your husband? Women are so fragile and emotional. Too fragile is easy to be tempted by the dark and fall. Too emotional is the more difficult it is to face yourself in front of the painful reality, and dare not grasp the arm that stretches out to help yourself. .
Why bother?

Life is not necessarily so painful, but if someone is really disappointed in themselves and feels hopeless and helpless, they may have the same experience as the heroine... This feeling is really scary, very Depressed and suffocated. Because you can't overcome yourself, you have to comfort yourself and say-"Well, don't blame me, I was only tempted by the devil for a while."

Who doesn't know that the bloody confession and confession that lead to reconciliation and bright tomorrow must be experienced today?
Who doesn't know that the price of success and happiness is to pay a lot of blood and sweat, and to endure a lot of oppression and suffocation in the darkness before dawn?

But for some people, those costs are too difficult.
Therefore, sometimes, I would rather be with the devil, rot together, die together, and with the evidence burned on your body, go to darkness and chaos.

——I just hope that no one knows my sins. Even in front of you, I am no longer the beautiful and strong person.

    After listing [Repulsion] as one of the top ten, the best horror movie I've seen. Zulaski's shot is extremely emotional. What complements each other is that Isabel Adjani is completely lost in the hysterical manic-depression. No less than Catherine Deneuve's nervous and terrifying paranoia. It is true that the theme expression is slightly fragmented, but the anxiety and depression are always accompanied, and the effect is quite amazing! (The electric blue dress is so beautiful....

    Later, when I was walking on the road one day, I remembered this film for some reason. I remembered Adjani's hysterical roaring and maddening in the damp and dirty underground passage. It turned out that it was an external expression of her feelings. That kind of twisted and crazy feelings, you can't control yourself. Extremely addicted, even if it will eventually be destroyed, it will sink without risk of death. So willingly.
