How did his unhappy childhood ruin him?
The movie "Lykke-Per (2018)" once again reminds us of the importance of a happy childhood to happiness in life. The turning point of the male protagonist from being lucky to unfortunate is actually his divorce from the female protagonist. So what led him to make such an extreme decision? I agree with this view: "Lucky people are healed by childhood, and unfortunate people are healed by childhood." So how should we explain it to "Lucky Bill"?
His childhood should have been unhappy. Although there are not many scenes in the film about his childhood misfortune, but from his attitude that his parents died and he didn't want to go back to bereavement, how much he should hate his parents, the key point is that he wants to cut off any contact from the root (blood, faith). , it can be inferred that he did have a bad childhood. Childhood misfortune created his extreme self-esteem or low self-esteem, a strong sense of frustration, and his "fleeing" and "destroying" personality.
At the beginning, Pier still dared to pursue the heroine, a rich woman, for his career. It should be said that poverty is not the source of his inferiority, and the difference between the rich and the poor has not become an obstacle to his pursuit of happiness. His inferiority complex may stem from a "feeling of incompetence" against tyranny, which makes him easy to "give up". He hated his father's "arrogance" at home, and when he went into society, any form of tyranny he encountered made him instinctively think of his father, and the way to deal with it was "confrontation". Hate will still manifest. Therefore, when he encountered the tyrannical bureaucrat denying his project idea, he immediately retreated, and even though his prospective husband-in-law helped to get through the joints later, he still decisively fought against the bureaucracy to the end. We can accuse and even ridicule him of being "immature", however, the reason is actually his family of origin.
Originally, the economic difference between him and the heroine's family was not a thing, but once this difference made him feel a sense of oppression from the host, then this difference would make him intolerable. So, when he messed up that consortium investment meeting, his fiancée blamed him a few words, and the prospective husband-in-law condemned him a few words, he developed a self-destructive resistance, and the economic differences were constantly mentioned by him, and he began to look for retreat. If we think this is his revolt against another kind of tyranny - money - then it can still be attributed to the influence of his family of origin.
Some people say that extreme self-esteem is actually a manifestation of inferiority. When the inferiority complex in his bones needs to be concealed through self-esteem, he will have a strong "desire for success", and this desire for success is "extreme", that is, a little failure is a huge failure for him. This extreme will create his strong "frustration." And to get rid of the pain caused by this frustration, he responded by "fleeing" and "destroying". So, when he felt unable to carry out his plan, he broke the engagement and fled back to the country to live a life of escapism.
Of course, his weakness was something he couldn't hide through apparent toughness. Although he escaped from his family, he still returned to his hometown. He wanted to cut off the influence of Catholicism, but as a result, he still married a girl from a Catholic family. The important thing is that this kind of weakness created by his original family made him have a bad life all his life. He can't even face any "beautiful", he destroys his own happiness and almost self-abuses, he can only be at ease when there is nothing good. Even if he didn't get sick in the end, he couldn't live a normal family life, and staying away from the crowd was only his best option. (Text/Slate Planting Flowers Saturday, April 27, 2019)
