A mentally inverted society

When I watched the first half of this movie, I once wanted to give up. The story progresses slowly, and the weird atmosphere. For example, it’s like a delicious cake that is about to be made in front of you. You have been expecting it to be ready soon. It's not good for a long time. This loss of not meeting expectations made me shelve this movie, but a few days ago, when I finally watched the second half of the movie, I found it was indeed a boutique.

When I watched the first half of the movie, I thought this movie was about the treatment of mentally ill patients. It was true that around 1900, even in the more stable and developed Western countries, the treatment of mentally ill patients could be said. It is also uneven.

This movie took place in such a mental hospital. It cannot be said that all the medical staff in the movie disrespect the patients. After all, the head nurse is still very humanitarian. The biggest problem lies with the head. The most basic sympathetic to the patient, the doctor who is addicted to treating the patient with a variety of inappropriate and cruel treatments. He cannot be said to be an irresponsible doctor, but obviously, he only regards his patient as an experimental subject, an experimental object that allows him to maximize the research and development of the spiritual field, so he lacks sympathy, and will not give those mental illnesses at all. The minimum respect of the patient.

The leader in the movie who later led all the mentally ill patients can be said to be the person most seriously abused by his treatment, and this person is also a very key role in this movie. I was deeply impressed that when the head leader first came to this mental hospital, he still had hair. Later, in his memories in the movie, he was already bald and completely tortured with hair loss. What kind of nonsense is this? Human treatment. In fact, in that era, how many mentally ill people who were regarded as humiliated were abused by medical staff while their families were indifferent. It is immeasurable, and there is no way to verify it.

At the beginning of the movie, the male lead came to this mental hospital. Everything seemed so harmonious. Appropriate capable and self-control mental patients pretended to be doctors and nurses, and other mental patients who could not take care of themselves were also compromised by these people. take care of. For this reason, when the male lead discovers that the current mental hospital is actually occupied by a group of mental patients, and the real normal people are locked up, there is a worry for their lives. And after learning that the former dean’s doctor treated these patients crudely or even a form of abuse, I raised a question, if the doctors were really saved according to the true so-called justice, then this mental hospital would be turned into Is it really the right choice to look like before?

The setting of the heroine is in this mental hospital, a patient with hysteria, I think the setting of the hero and the heroine is ingenious. From the face of it, one is a doctor and the other is a patient. They look at things from a completely different perspective. It seems to see the see-saw of two different thoughts in my heart.

However, the follow-up of the movie made me understand that mental illness is after all mental illness. Even under the leadership of the leader, and with the assistance of the relatively clear-headed heroine and other people, this mental hospital can be said to be a society of mental patients. , So when the leader later used a cruel method to turn the original mental hospital head into a mental illness, I understood that for them, normal people like the male head director are not normal people in the normal society. They are all heterogeneous. When the doctor treated them cruelly, how could it be that now, the chief turned the dean into a mental illness with cruel methods. Those who were not from my race would have different hearts, and became the deans of mental illness, but later they were treated very well by the leaders.

However, as I said above, mental illness is mental illness after all. For the same reason, their society is also unsound and cannot last. This mentally ill society established by the leader soon has an irreversible rift. The heroine A mental patient who was regarded as a younger sister was strangled to death by another male mental patient who was the chief beater in the movie. And the leader is obviously unable to ensure that this society is a paradise or a hell for the mentally ill.

Therefore, the story has a turning point. The heroine agrees to help the hero to release the real normal people. In fact, it means that this mentally ill society, once regarded by the heroine as a harmonious paradise, will no longer exist. In fact, there are various details and hints in the film that show that this society is actually abnormal and will eventually collapse and lose control.

At the end of the story, the male protagonist, with the help of the head nurse, calmed down the radical and abnormal place of the leader. After the mental hospital was peaceful and harmonious, he took the female lead and left. Before leaving, the female lead also wanted The savior overcame his hysterical symptoms. It can be said that the male lead used his own way, love, and healed the female lead.

I thought this was the ending, but the final ending gave me a very impressive reversal. The male protagonist is not the psychiatrist set at the beginning! ! ! ! ! He is another type of psychiatric patient who passed by the hostess in a psychiatric presentation lecture, also as the demonstrator! ! ! ! ! !

Inexplicably romantic, the male protagonist and the female protagonist passed by, and developed an unusual infatuation with the female protagonist, and ran away from the medical staff who took care of him. Pretending to be a doctor who treated him, came to this mental hospital. Originally, I just wanted to find the heroine and take her away. Unexpectedly, the heroine and the heroine healed each other in the end. I saw some film critics saying that this ending was too warm and not suitable for the tone of the whole film, but I thought it ended very well. Regardless of whether the heroine and the heroine are living in another mental hospital or in a normal society, this is a kind of consummation. As a normal person, I still hope to see more consummations like this.

It is a masterpiece, worthy of taste. PS: The heroine is very beautiful and temperamental! ! Can understand that the hero fell in love with her at first sight!
