Famous director Jia Zhangke disclosed: "A few years ago, when I was filming an environmental protection public service advertisement in Beijing, a few aunts and uncles suddenly rushed out of the alley, shouting loudly: 'They are filming our smog, quickly turn off the camera', which is very scary." This matter caused a heated debate in the public opinion circle. Recently, due to the increase of smog and haze weather in various places in winter, this matter has been regarded as a hot spot again and has been circulated repeatedly in the circle of friends. People affectionately refer to this phenomenon as "our smog".
This kind of aunt and uncle makes me think of the movie I watched many years ago and have been entangled in my mind - "The Spirit of Goya". The horror and unspeakable sadness of the movies I've seen can't be better.
"The Spirit of Goya" is a film based on the life and paintings of the Spanish painter Goya. It tells the story of a beautiful angelic girl who was accused of being a heretic because she did not eat pork at a dinner party. After entering the Inquisition, after more than ten years of torture, she turned into an ugly and terrifying mad woman. In prison, he was raped by a bishop and gave birth to a daughter, who was sent out of prison and turned into a prostitute. The bishop who abused her was extremely despicable and lowly in character, and had brought her to despair countless times, but even so, the woman felt unreasonably attached to him. At the end of the movie, when the bishop is hanged, the mad woman is holding the baby she picked up and mistakenly thought it was her daughter, followed by the corpse car, holding the corpse's hand, a shocking joy and serenity The expression, as if returning home, disappeared in the distance on the ancient stone street, and behind him, a group of children sang cheerful nursery rhymes.
When many people saw this scene, the anger and depression accumulated in the whole movie turned into tears.
The scene of the poor woman staggering away with the corpse of the culprit who killed her life is a harrowing and terrifying image - it's hard to find another scene in the world that can express Stockholm Syndrome so poignantly. .
The so-called "Stockholm Syndrome" means that the victim or kidnapper falls in love with the abuser and kidnapper, and even changes his position to help the latter. This situation was first noticed in a bank robbery in Stockholm, hence the name.
The victim falls in love with the victim; the meat ticket falls in love with the kidnapper. This seemingly impossible absurd plot actually happened. Don't think that such explicit and dramatic scenes can only be seen in movies. In fact, we can find them everywhere.
For example, some people who were labeled as "rightists" in the early years, when recalling those years, actually miss the "officials are not corrupt", "social security is good" and "people are equal". For example, those who have been kidnapped with all freedoms and rights under the autocratic system miss the stable order and tranquility and stability under the autocratic structure.
This situation is very similar to the poor mad woman in "Spirit of Goya". In a closed environment, she has no second choice, from being raped to adultery or even adultery, and then mistaken for adultery love. Because she doesn't know what true love is at all; and in a closed environment, the wicked masters the giving and deprivation of all kinds of things, including material supplies, free walking in the prison, or the need for torture, etc. She came to the conclusion: People could have killed me, but they didn't; not only did they not kill, they gave cornbread; not only did they give cornbread, but they were allowed to walk around the prison without torture tools... Then they were grateful to the other party, and they felt intimacy and even rely.
It can be seen that the premise of "Stockholm Syndrome" is to be closed and isolated from the world, and both information and material are insulated from the outside world. It is the power of the other party, and only in this way can I relieve myself from suffering at least temporarily; the third is from the heart, taking abuse and obedience as a habit, and logically regard it as a part of my life.
With the above points, the conditions of "Stockholm Syndrome" will naturally form, and the victim will fall in love with the perpetrator, which will happen unreasonably. In the same way, those old men and women who breathe super carcinogenic air under the misty sky every day, but under an inexplicable sense of honor, become the guardians and accomplices of the smog, and regard the smog as "our", It is also logical.
