What is a normal person?

The first half of this drama is relatively boring, and the plot is also very weak. I was once angry at the indecision and lack of wisdom of the male protagonist. Until the final five minutes of the big reversal, it was considered to have saved it, and the drama was raised to a relatively high altitude at once, and it triggered deep philosophical thinking. At the beginning of the film, Newgate, a young doctor who graduated from Oxford University, went to a psychiatric hospital deep in the mountains to study on the ground. But as soon as he entered the gate of the mental hospital, there was a strange atmosphere in everything. The dean is gloomy, the housekeeper is treacherous, and the staff are faintly abnormal. Newgate fell in love at first sight with Eliza, the only beautiful lady who seemed normal. Later, Newgate discovered an astonishing secret. It turned out that the so-called dean, housekeeper, and staff were all mentally ill patients, and the real doctors were designed by them to be kept in patient cages. But Newgate could not help the poor doctors even after knowing the truth. The character is a bit weak, and the critical moment of being pursued and killed is still at the stage of misunderstanding explained by the lover. In the end, the breakthrough was only a small skill. I even felt that there was a fluke, which did not add much to the character's personality. But it wasn't until they left that Newgate confided the truth about his identity. It turns out that he is not the real Doctor Newgate. He is a mentally ill patient managed by Doctor Newgate. At a medical exhibition, he met Eliza, who is also a beautiful, weak and helpless mental patient, and was deeply infatuated. So he tried a way to escape, with the intention of pretending to be Doctor Newgate to find her and walk away with her. At the end of the film, the hospital's order returned to normal, and the hero and the heroine changed their names and danced happily in the manor ball. But this raises a profound question, what exactly is a normal person? What is a mental patient? Is it just because their basic ideas are different from ours that they are considered mental patients? For example, since the death of a horse lover, a person who always imagined that he was a horse is considered a mental patient. He is a man, not a horse. Who gave this definition? In his spiritual system, he is a horse as the foundation, and to build the whole world, he can only say that his ideas are different from ordinary people, but it does not mean that he is a patient and others are normal people. Just like the positive and negative sides of things, you can say that this side is positive and the other side is negative. But the reverse is also true! I don’t know who said that the world of mental patients is just different from ours, but it’s good for them to be happy in their own world. There is no need to correct them. It should be said that everyone is in their own world, but it happens that the world of our large group of people is similar, and the world of that small group of people is different from ours, nothing more. Why do we say that we are right and they are negative? Maybe it's like a lot of people walking on the same road. If there is no accident, everyone will keep going all the way. But suddenly some people might encounter something, so he walked to the side road. There are many small roads, and each of them may have some people in twos and threes, but they are all relatively small. Of course, the most crowded and most crowded road is of course the spacious road. But there is no hindrance, everyone just walks along their own path. You can't just say that this road is normal because there are so many people on the road, other things are abnormal. So how can one deviate from the main road and walk on the sparsely-traveled wilderness road? Everyone has a frame in his mind. There is a certain pressure value around that frame. This frame is automatically established by the indoctrination of various social concepts and the constraints of various morals, laws and etiquettes from the beginning of our birth. , It will consciously regulate our steps on the main road. But after some accident happened, the pressure at a certain point exceeded the pressure value of the frame in an instant, so a line of the frame was broken, the frame collapsed, and people's footsteps were messed up. The concept is no longer the original one. Just like the fake dean, after he shot the seriously wounded soldier, the feeling of guilt and annoyance suddenly soared, causing the frame in his head to be disconnected, and his whole person was messed up. Many of us should have experienced the feeling of headache and palpitations when we are overly troubled by something. That is just the initial sign of it. I used to think about where to go all the time at a bifurcation. For a moment, my whole brain hurts. I quickly told myself that I can't think about it anymore, and that something will happen if I think about it again. Fortunately, I stopped in time. This alertness is due to the fact that some of our classmates are already insane, starting to talk nonsense and thinking out of control (even if I look back now, I still don't understand what is going on), I think she must have experienced something. I still remember that the counselor mentioned a sentence at the conferences of other grades, "The students of grade 08 have jumped off the building, and the students of grade 09 are crazy." I still don't forgive him. To be able to tell the students' life and death matters in such a contemptuous way would be worthless as a teacher. (At that time, there was a student of 08 who jumped off the building, and the student of grade 09 is our class. There was a bit of depression, and then my classmate's thing happened) And modern medical treatment methods for mental patients, such as electric shocks, forced injections, etc. In fact, it is inhumane to think about it carefully, and it does not treat the mental patient as an adult. In fact, in the final analysis, everyone may become a mental patient, right? It's just that we haven't reached the time when the pressure value breaks the frame line. This conclusion is really scary. But I think it's right. In "Criminal Minds", Rhett also pondered this question. Well, it seems that there are some problems that you really can't think too deeply. Suddenly I felt a little confused, and I had to go quiet. In fact, in the final analysis, everyone may become a mental patient, right?

    It's half fun and half boring. Although I haven't seen a lot of Edgar Allan Poe, the various characters and atmosphere immediately reminded me that he didn't expect that it was really his short story adaptation! [When I was watching the movie, I was thinking that this story would be better if it was a novel...
